   Genesis|1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
   Genesis|1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was]
 upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the
 waters.
   Genesis|1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
   Genesis|1:4  And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided
 the light from the darkness.
   Genesis|1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called
 Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
   Genesis|1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the
 waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

   Genesis|1:7  And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which
 [were] under the firmament from the waters which [were] above the
 firmament: and it was so.
   Genesis|1:8  And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
 morning were the second day.
   Genesis|1:9  And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered
 together unto one place, and let the dry [land] appear: and it was so.
   Genesis|1:10  And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering
 together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good.
   Genesis|1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
 yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose
 seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
   Genesis|1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed
 after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself,
 after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
   Genesis|1:13  And the evening and the morning were the third day.
   Genesis|1:14  And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the
 heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for
 seasons, and for days, and years:
   Genesis|1:15  And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven
 to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

   Genesis|1:16  And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule
 the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.
   Genesis|1:17  And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give
 light upon the earth,
   Genesis|1:18  And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide
 the light from the darkness: and God saw that [it was] good.
   Genesis|1:19  And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
   Genesis|1:20  And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the
 moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in
 the open firmament of heaven.
   Genesis|1:21  And God created great whales, and every living creature
 that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind,
 and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
   Genesis|1:22  And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply,
 and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
   Genesis|1:23  And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
   Genesis|1:24  And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature
 after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after
 his kind: and it was so.
   Genesis|1:25  And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and
 cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after

 his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
   Genesis|1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
 likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
 fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over
 every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
   Genesis|1:27  So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God
 created he him; male and female created he them.
   Genesis|1:28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful,
 and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
 over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every
 living thing that moveth upon the earth.
   Genesis|1:29  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing
 seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the
 which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
   Genesis|1:30  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the
 air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein [there is]
 life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so.
   Genesis|1:31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it
 was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
   Genesis|2:1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the
 host of them.

   Genesis|2:2  And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made;
 and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
   Genesis|2:3  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because
 that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
   Genesis|2:4  These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth
 when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the
 heavens,
   Genesis|2:5  And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and
 every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it
 to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground.
   Genesis|2:6  But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the
 whole face of the ground.
   Genesis|2:7  And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and
 breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living
 soul.
   Genesis|2:8  And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and
 there he put the man whom he had formed.
   Genesis|2:9  And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree
 that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in
 the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
   Genesis|2:10  And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from

 thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
   Genesis|2:11  The name of the first [is] Pison: that [is] it which
 compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where [there is] gold;
   Genesis|2:12  And the gold of that land [is] good: there [is] bdellium
 and the onyx stone.
   Genesis|2:13  And the name of the second river [is] Gihon: the same [is]
 it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
   Genesis|2:14  And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel: that [is] it
 which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river [is]
 Euphrates.
   Genesis|2:15  And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden
 of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
   Genesis|2:16  And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree
 of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
   Genesis|2:17  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou
 shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt
 surely die.
   Genesis|2:18  And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should
 be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
   Genesis|2:19  And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of
 the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see

 what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature,
 that [was] the name thereof.
   Genesis|2:20  And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the
 air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an
 help meet for him.
   Genesis|2:21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and
 he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead
 thereof;
   Genesis|2:22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he
 a woman, and brought her unto the man.
   Genesis|2:23  And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of
 my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
   Genesis|2:24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and
 shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
   Genesis|2:25  And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were
 not ashamed.
   Genesis|3:1  Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field
 which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
 said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
   Genesis|3:2  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit
 of the trees of the garden:

   Genesis|3:3  But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the
 garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,
 lest ye die.
   Genesis|3:4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely
 die:
   Genesis|3:5  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your
 eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
   Genesis|3:6  And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food,
 and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
 [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto
 her husband with her; and he did eat.
   Genesis|3:7  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that
 they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves
 aprons.
   Genesis|3:8  And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the
 garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from
 the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
   Genesis|3:9  And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where
 [art] thou?
   Genesis|3:10  And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was
 afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.

   Genesis|3:11  And he said, Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast
 thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not
 eat?
   Genesis|3:12  And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest [to be] with
 me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
   Genesis|3:13  And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this [that]
 thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
   Genesis|3:14  And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast
 done this, thou [art] cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
 field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days
 of thy life:
   Genesis|3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
 between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
 bruise his heel.
   Genesis|3:16  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow
 and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
 desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
   Genesis|3:17  And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the
 voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee,
 saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in
 sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;

   Genesis|3:18  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and
 thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
   Genesis|3:19  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou
 return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art],
 and unto dust shalt thou return.
   Genesis|3:20  And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the
 mother of all living.
   Genesis|3:21  Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats
 of skins, and clothed them.
   Genesis|3:22  And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of
 us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take
 also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
   Genesis|3:23  Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of
 Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
   Genesis|3:24  So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
 garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to
 keep the way of the tree of life.
   Genesis|4:1  And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare
 Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
   Genesis|4:2  And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper
 of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

   Genesis|4:3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of
 the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
   Genesis|4:4  And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and
 of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
   Genesis|4:5  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And
 Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
   Genesis|4:6  And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is
 thy countenance fallen?
   Genesis|4:7  If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou
 doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee [shall be] his desire,
 and thou shalt rule over him.
   Genesis|4:8  And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass,
 when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother,
 and slew him.
   Genesis|4:9  And the LORD said unto Cain, Where [is] Abel thy brother?
 And he said, I know not: [Am] I my brother's keeper?
   Genesis|4:10  And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy
 brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
   Genesis|4:11  And now [art] thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened
 her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
   Genesis|4:12  When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield

 unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the
 earth.
   Genesis|4:13  And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment [is] greater
 than I can bear.
   Genesis|4:14  Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of
 the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and
 a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, [that] every one that
 findeth me shall slay me.
   Genesis|4:15  And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth
 Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark
 upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
   Genesis|4:16  And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt
 in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
   Genesis|4:17  And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch:
 and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of
 his son, Enoch.
   Genesis|4:18  And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and
 Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
   Genesis|4:19  And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one
 [was] Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
   Genesis|4:20  And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in

 tents, and [of such as have] cattle.
   Genesis|4:21  And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of
 all such as handle the harp and organ.
   Genesis|4:22  And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructor of every
 artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain [was] Naamah.
   Genesis|4:23  And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my
 voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man
 to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
   Genesis|4:24  If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy
 and sevenfold.
   Genesis|4:25  And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and
 called his name Seth: For God, [said she], hath appointed me another seed
 instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
   Genesis|4:26  And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he
 called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
   Genesis|5:1  This [is] the book of the generations of Adam. In the day
 that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
   Genesis|5:2  Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and
 called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
   Genesis|5:3  And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat [a
 son] in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

   Genesis|5:4  And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight
 hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:5  And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and
 thirty years: and he died.
   Genesis|5:6  And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
   Genesis|5:7  And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven
 years, and begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:8  And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years:
 and he died.
   Genesis|5:9  And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
   Genesis|5:10  And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and
 fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:11  And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years:
 and he died.
   Genesis|5:12  And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
   Genesis|5:13  And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred
 and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:14  And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years:
 and he died.
   Genesis|5:15  And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
   Genesis|5:16  And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and

 thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:17  And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety
 and five years: and he died.
   Genesis|5:18  And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he
 begat Enoch:
   Genesis|5:19  And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years,
 and begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:20  And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two
 years: and he died.
   Genesis|5:21  And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
   Genesis|5:22  And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three
 hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:23  And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five
 years:
   Genesis|5:24  And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took
 him.
   Genesis|5:25  And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and
 begat Lamech:
   Genesis|5:26  And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred
 eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:27  And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and

 nine years: and he died.
   Genesis|5:28  And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat
 a son:
   Genesis|5:29  And he called his name Noah, saying, This [same] shall
 comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground
 which the LORD hath cursed.
   Genesis|5:30  And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety
 and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
   Genesis|5:31  And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and
 seven years: and he died.
   Genesis|5:32  And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem,
 Ham, and Japheth.
   Genesis|6:1  And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face
 of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
   Genesis|6:2  That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they
 [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
   Genesis|6:3  And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with
 man, for that he also [is] flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and
 twenty years.
   Genesis|6:4  There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after
 that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare

 [children] to them, the same [became] mighty men which [were] of old, men
 of renown.
   Genesis|6:5  And God saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the
 earth, and [that] every imagination of the thoughts of his heart [was] only
 evil continually.
   Genesis|6:6  And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth,
 and it grieved him at his heart.
   Genesis|6:7  And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created
 from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing,
 and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
   Genesis|6:8  But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
   Genesis|6:9  These [are] the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man
 [and] perfect in his generations, [and] Noah walked with God.
   Genesis|6:10  And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
   Genesis|6:11  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was
 filled with violence.
   Genesis|6:12  And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt;
 for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
   Genesis|6:13  And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before
 me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will
 destroy them with the earth.

   Genesis|6:14  Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in
 the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
   Genesis|6:15  And this [is the fashion] which thou shalt make it [of]:
 The length of the ark [shall be] three hundred cubits, the breadth of it
 fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
   Genesis|6:16  A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt
 thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side
 thereof; [with] lower, second, and third [stories] shalt thou make it.
   Genesis|6:17  And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the
 earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under
 heaven; [and] every thing that [is] in the earth shall die.
   Genesis|6:18  But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt
 come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives
 with thee.
   Genesis|6:19  And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every [sort]
 shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep [them] alive with thee; they shall
 be male and female.
   Genesis|6:20  Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind,
 of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every [sort]
 shall come unto thee, to keep [them] alive.
   Genesis|6:21  And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou

 shalt gather [it] to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
   Genesis|6:22  Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so
 did he.
   Genesis|7:1  And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house
 into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
   Genesis|7:2  Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the
 male and his female: and of beasts that [are] not clean by two, the male
 and his female.
   Genesis|7:3  Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female;
 to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
   Genesis|7:4  For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the
 earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have
 made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
   Genesis|7:5  And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
   Genesis|7:6  And Noah [was] six hundred years old when the flood of
 waters was upon the earth.
   Genesis|7:7  And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'
 wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
   Genesis|7:8  Of clean beasts, and of beasts that [are] not clean, and of
 fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
   Genesis|7:9  There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male

 and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
   Genesis|7:10  And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of
 the flood were upon the earth.
   Genesis|7:11  In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
 month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
 fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were
 opened.
   Genesis|7:12  And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty
 nights.
   Genesis|7:13  In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and
 Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons
 with them, into the ark;
   Genesis|7:14  They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle
 after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
 after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
   Genesis|7:15  And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all
 flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.
   Genesis|7:16  And they that went in, went in male and female of all
 flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
   Genesis|7:17  And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters
 increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.

   Genesis|7:18  And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon
 the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
   Genesis|7:19  And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and
 all the high hills, that [were] under the whole heaven, were covered.
   Genesis|7:20  Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the
 mountains were covered.
   Genesis|7:21  And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl,
 and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon
 the earth, and every man:
   Genesis|7:22  All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that
 [was] in the dry [land], died.
   Genesis|7:23  And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the
 face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the
 fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only
 remained [alive], and they that [were] with him in the ark.
   Genesis|7:24  And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and
 fifty days.
   Genesis|8:1  And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the
 cattle that [was] with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the
 earth, and the waters asswaged;
   Genesis|8:2  The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven

 were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
   Genesis|8:3  And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and
 after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
   Genesis|8:4  And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth
 day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
   Genesis|8:5  And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month:
 in the tenth [month], on the first [day] of the month, were the tops of the
 mountains seen.
   Genesis|8:6  And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah
 opened the window of the ark which he had made:
   Genesis|8:7  And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,
 until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
   Genesis|8:8  Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters
 were abated from off the face of the ground;
   Genesis|8:9  But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she
 returned unto him into the ark, for the waters [were] on the face of the
 whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in
 unto him into the ark.
   Genesis|8:10  And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth
 the dove out of the ark;
   Genesis|8:11  And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her

 mouth [was] an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were
 abated from off the earth.
   Genesis|8:12  And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the
 dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
   Genesis|8:13  And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in
 the first [month], the first [day] of the month, the waters were dried up
 from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked,
 and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
   Genesis|8:14  And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of
 the month, was the earth dried.
   Genesis|8:15  And God spake unto Noah, saying,
   Genesis|8:16  Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and
 thy sons' wives with thee.
   Genesis|8:17  Bring forth with thee every living thing that [is] with
 thee, of all flesh, [both] of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping
 thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the
 earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
   Genesis|8:18  And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his
 sons' wives with him:
   Genesis|8:19  Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, [and]
 whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of

 the ark.
   Genesis|8:20  And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every
 clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the
 altar.
   Genesis|8:21  And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in
 his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for
 the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; neither will I
 again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
   Genesis|8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold
 and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
   Genesis|9:1  And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be
 fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
   Genesis|9:2  And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every
 beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth
 [upon] the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are
 they delivered.
   Genesis|9:3  Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even
 as the green herb have I given you all things.
   Genesis|9:4  But flesh with the life thereof, [which is] the blood
 thereof, shall ye not eat.
   Genesis|9:5  And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the

 hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand
 of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
   Genesis|9:6  Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed:
 for in the image of God made he man.
   Genesis|9:7  And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth
 abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
   Genesis|9:8  And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
   Genesis|9:9  And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with
 your seed after you;
   Genesis|9:10  And with every living creature that [is] with you, of the
 fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all
 that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
   Genesis|9:11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall
 all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there
 any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
   Genesis|9:12  And God said, This [is] the token of the covenant which I
 make between me and you and every living creature that [is] with you, for
 perpetual generations:
   Genesis|9:13  I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token
 of a covenant between me and the earth.
   Genesis|9:14  And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the

 earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
   Genesis|9:15  And I will remember my covenant, which [is] between me and
 you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more
 become a flood to destroy all flesh.
   Genesis|9:16  And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it,
 that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living
 creature of all flesh that [is] upon the earth.
   Genesis|9:17  And God said unto Noah, This [is] the token of the
 covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that [is] upon
 the earth.
   Genesis|9:18  And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were
 Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham [is] the father of Canaan.
   Genesis|9:19  These [are] the three sons of Noah: and of them was the
 whole earth overspread.
   Genesis|9:20  And Noah began [to be] an husbandman, and he planted a
 vineyard:
   Genesis|9:21  And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was
 uncovered within his tent.
   Genesis|9:22  And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his
 father, and told his two brethren without.
   Genesis|9:23  And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid [it] upon

 both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their
 father; and their faces [were] backward, and they saw not their father's
 nakedness.
   Genesis|9:24  And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son
 had done unto him.
   Genesis|9:25  And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants
 shall he be unto his brethren.
   Genesis|9:26  And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan
 shall be his servant.
   Genesis|9:27  God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents
 of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
   Genesis|9:28  And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty
 years.
   Genesis|9:29  And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years:
 and he died.
   Genesis|10:1  Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem,
 Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
   Genesis|10:2  The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and
 Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
   Genesis|10:3  And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
   Genesis|10:4  And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and

 Dodanim.
   Genesis|10:5  By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their
 lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
   Genesis|10:6  And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and
 Canaan.
   Genesis|10:7  And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and
 Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
   Genesis|10:8  And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the
 earth.
   Genesis|10:9  He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is
 said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
   Genesis|10:10  And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and
 Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
   Genesis|10:11  Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh,
 and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
   Genesis|10:12  And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same [is] a great
 city.
   Genesis|10:13  And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and
 Naphtuhim,
   Genesis|10:14  And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,)
 and Caphtorim.

   Genesis|10:15  And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
   Genesis|10:16  And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
   Genesis|10:17  And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
   Genesis|10:18  And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and
 afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
   Genesis|10:19  And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou
 comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and
 Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
   Genesis|10:20  These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families, after
 their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations.
   Genesis|10:21  Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber,
 the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were [children] born.
   Genesis|10:22  The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and
 Lud, and Aram.
   Genesis|10:23  And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and
 Mash.
   Genesis|10:24  And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
   Genesis|10:25  And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was]
 Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name [was]
 Joktan.
   Genesis|10:26  And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth,

 and Jerah,
   Genesis|10:27  And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
   Genesis|10:28  And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
   Genesis|10:29  And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these [were] the
 sons of Joktan.
   Genesis|10:30  And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto
 Sephar a mount of the east.
   Genesis|10:31  These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after
 their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
   Genesis|10:32  These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their
 generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the
 earth after the flood.
   Genesis|11:1  And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
   Genesis|11:2  And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that
 they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
   Genesis|11:3  And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and
 burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for
 mortar.
   Genesis|11:4  And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower,
 whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be
 scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

   Genesis|11:5  And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which
 the children of men builded.
   Genesis|11:6  And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they
 have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be
 restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
   Genesis|11:7  Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language,
 that they may not understand one another's speech.
   Genesis|11:8  So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face
 of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
   Genesis|11:9  Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD
 did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the
 LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
   Genesis|11:10  These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an hundred
 years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
   Genesis|11:11  And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years,
 and begat sons and daughters.
   Genesis|11:12  And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
   Genesis|11:13  And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and
 three years, and begat sons and daughters.
   Genesis|11:14  And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
   Genesis|11:15  And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three

 years, and begat sons and daughters.
   Genesis|11:16  And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
   Genesis|11:17  And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and
 thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
   Genesis|11:18  And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
   Genesis|11:19  And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine
 years, and begat sons and daughters.
   Genesis|11:20  And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
   Genesis|11:21  And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven
 years, and begat sons and daughters.
   Genesis|11:22  And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
   Genesis|11:23  And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years,
 and begat sons and daughters.
   Genesis|11:24  And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
   Genesis|11:25  And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and
 nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
   Genesis|11:26  And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and
 Haran.
   Genesis|11:27  Now these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat
 Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
   Genesis|11:28  And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his

 nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
   Genesis|11:29  And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's
 wife [was] Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of
 Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
   Genesis|11:30  But Sarai was barren; she [had] no child.
   Genesis|11:31  And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his
 son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they
 went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of
 Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
   Genesis|11:32  And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and
 Terah died in Haran.
   Genesis|12:1  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy
 country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land
 that I will show thee:
   Genesis|12:2  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless
 thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
   Genesis|12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that
 curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
   Genesis|12:4  So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot
 went with him: and Abram [was] seventy and five years old when he departed
 out of Haran.

   Genesis|12:5  And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son,
 and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had
 gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and
 into the land of Canaan they came.
   Genesis|12:6  And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem,
 unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite [was] then in the land.
   Genesis|12:7  And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed
 will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who
 appeared unto him.
   Genesis|12:8  And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of
 Bethel, and pitched his tent, [having] Bethel on the west, and Hai on the
 east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name
 of the LORD.
   Genesis|12:9  And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
   Genesis|12:10  And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down
 into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the land.
   Genesis|12:11  And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into
 Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art]
 a fair woman to look upon:
   Genesis|12:12  Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall
 see thee, that they shall say, This [is] his wife: and they will kill me,

 but they will save thee alive.
   Genesis|12:13  Say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister: that it may be
 well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
   Genesis|12:14  And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt,
 the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair.
   Genesis|12:15  The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her
 before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
   Genesis|12:16  And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had
 sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she
 asses, and camels.
   Genesis|12:17  And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great
 plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
   Genesis|12:18  And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What [is] this [that]
 thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she [was] thy wife?
   Genesis|12:19  Why saidst thou, She [is] my sister? so I might have taken
 her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take [her], and go thy
 way.
   Genesis|12:20  And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him: and they
 sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
   Genesis|13:1  And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all
 that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

   Genesis|13:2  And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in
 gold.
   Genesis|13:3  And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel,
 unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and
 Hai;
   Genesis|13:4  Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the
 first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
   Genesis|13:5  And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds,
 and tents.
   Genesis|13:6  And the land was not able to bear them, that they might
 dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell
 together.
   Genesis|13:7  And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's
 cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite
 dwelled then in the land.
   Genesis|13:8  And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray
 thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we
 [be] brethren.
   Genesis|13:9  [Is] not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I
 pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to
 the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the

 left.
   Genesis|13:10  And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of
 Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed
 Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of
 Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
   Genesis|13:11  Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot
 journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
   Genesis|13:12  Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in
 the cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.
   Genesis|13:13  But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the
 LORD exceedingly.
   Genesis|13:14  And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated
 from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art
 northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
   Genesis|13:15  For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it,
 and to thy seed for ever.
   Genesis|13:16  And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that
 if a man can number the dust of the earth, [then] shall thy seed also be
 numbered.
   Genesis|13:17  Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in
 the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

   Genesis|13:18  Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the
 plain of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the
 LORD.
   Genesis|14:1  And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar,
 Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of
 nations;
   Genesis|14:2  [That these] made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with
 Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of
 Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
   Genesis|14:3  All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which
 is the salt sea.
   Genesis|14:4  Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the
 thirteenth year they rebelled.
   Genesis|14:5  And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings
 that [were] with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the
 Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
   Genesis|14:6  And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which
 [is] by the wilderness.
   Genesis|14:7  And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which [is]
 Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites,
 that dwelt in Hazezontamar.

   Genesis|14:8  And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of
 Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of
 Bela (the same [is] Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of
 Siddim;
   Genesis|14:9  With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of
 nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four
 kings with five.
   Genesis|14:10  And the vale of Siddim [was full of] slimepits; and the
 kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained
 fled to the mountain.
   Genesis|14:11  And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all
 their victuals, and went their way.
   Genesis|14:12  And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in
 Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
   Genesis|14:13  And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the
 Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol,
 and brother of Aner: and these [were] confederate with Abram.
   Genesis|14:14  And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive,
 he armed his trained [servants], born in his own house, three hundred and
 eighteen, and pursued [them] unto Dan.
   Genesis|14:15  And he divided himself against them, he and his servants,

 by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which [is] on the
 left hand of Damascus.
   Genesis|14:16  And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again
 his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
   Genesis|14:17  And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his
 return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that [were]
 with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the king's dale.
   Genesis|14:18  And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and
 wine: and he [was] the priest of the most high God.
   Genesis|14:19  And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram of the
 most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
   Genesis|14:20  And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered
 thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
   Genesis|14:21  And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the
 persons, and take the goods to thyself.
   Genesis|14:22  And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine
 hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
   Genesis|14:23  That I will not [take] from a thread even to a
 shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that [is] thine, lest thou
 shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
   Genesis|14:24  Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the

 portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them
 take their portion.
   Genesis|15:1  After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in
 a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield, [and] thy exceeding
 great reward.
   Genesis|15:2  And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I
 go childless, and the steward of my house [is] this Eliezer of Damascus?
   Genesis|15:3  And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and,
 lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
   Genesis|15:4  And, behold, the word of the LORD [came] unto him, saying,
 This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own
 bowels shall be thine heir.
   Genesis|15:5  And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward
 heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said
 unto him, So shall thy seed be.
   Genesis|15:6  And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
 righteousness.
   Genesis|15:7  And he said unto him, I [am] the LORD that brought thee out
 of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
   Genesis|15:8  And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall
 inherit it?

   Genesis|15:9  And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old,
 and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a
 turtledove, and a young pigeon.
   Genesis|15:10  And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the
 midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he
 not.
   Genesis|15:11  And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram
 drove them away.
   Genesis|15:12  And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon
 Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
   Genesis|15:13  And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed
 shall be a stranger in a land [that is] not theirs, and shall serve them;
 and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
   Genesis|15:14  And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge:
 and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
   Genesis|15:15  And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be
 buried in a good old age.
   Genesis|15:16  But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again:
 for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full.
   Genesis|15:17  And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it
 was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between

 those pieces.
   Genesis|15:18  In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram,
 saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto
 the great river, the river Euphrates:
   Genesis|15:19  The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
   Genesis|15:20  And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
   Genesis|15:21  And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites,
 and the Jebusites.
   Genesis|16:1  Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an
 handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name [was] Hagar.
   Genesis|16:2  And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath
 restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that
 I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
   Genesis|16:3  And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian,
 after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her
 husband Abram to be his wife.
   Genesis|16:4  And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she
 saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
   Genesis|16:5  And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong [be] upon thee: I have
 given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I
 was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.

   Genesis|16:6  But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid [is] in thy
 hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her,
 she fled from her face.
   Genesis|16:7  And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water
 in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
   Genesis|16:8  And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and
 whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress
 Sarai.
   Genesis|16:9  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy
 mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
   Genesis|16:10  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply
 thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
   Genesis|16:11  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou
 [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael;
 because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
   Genesis|16:12  And he will be a wild man; his hand [will be] against
 every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the
 presence of all his brethren.
   Genesis|16:13  And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her,
 Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that
 seeth me?

   Genesis|16:14  Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, [it
 is] between Kadesh and Bered.
   Genesis|16:15  And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's
 name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
   Genesis|16:16  And Abram [was] fourscore and six years old, when Hagar
 bare Ishmael to Abram.
   Genesis|17:1  And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD
 appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] the Almighty God; walk before
 me, and be thou perfect.
   Genesis|17:2  And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will
 multiply thee exceedingly.
   Genesis|17:3  And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him,
 saying,
   Genesis|17:4  As for me, behold, my covenant [is] with thee, and thou
 shalt be a father of many nations.
   Genesis|17:5  Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy
 name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
   Genesis|17:6  And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make
 nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
   Genesis|17:7  And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and
 thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be

 a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
   Genesis|17:8  And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the
 land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an
 everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
   Genesis|17:9  And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant
 therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
   Genesis|17:10  This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and
 you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be
 circumcised.
   Genesis|17:11  And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it
 shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
   Genesis|17:12  And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among
 you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or
 bought with money of any stranger, which [is] not of thy seed.
   Genesis|17:13  He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with
 thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your
 flesh for an everlasting covenant.
   Genesis|17:14  And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his
 foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he
 hath broken my covenant.
   Genesis|17:15  And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou

 shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah [shall] her name [be].
   Genesis|17:16  And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her:
 yea, I will bless her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations; kings of
 people shall be of her.
   Genesis|17:17  Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in
 his heart, Shall [a child] be born unto him that is an hundred years old?
 and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
   Genesis|17:18  And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live
 before thee!
   Genesis|17:19  And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed;
 and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with
 him for an everlasting covenant, [and] with his seed after him.
   Genesis|17:20  And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have
 blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly;
 twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
   Genesis|17:21  But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah
 shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
   Genesis|17:22  And he left off talking with him, and God went up from
 Abraham.
   Genesis|17:23  And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born
 in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the

 men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the
 selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
   Genesis|17:24  And Abraham [was] ninety years old and nine, when he was
 circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
   Genesis|17:25  And Ishmael his son [was] thirteen years old, when he was
 circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
   Genesis|17:26  In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael
 his son.
   Genesis|17:27  And all the men of his house, born in the house, and
 bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
   Genesis|18:1  And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and
 he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
   Genesis|18:2  And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men
 stood by him: and when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent
 door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
   Genesis|18:3  And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight,
 pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
   Genesis|18:4  Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your
 feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
   Genesis|18:5  And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your
 hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your

 servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
   Genesis|18:6  And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said,
 Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead [it], and make cakes
 upon the hearth.
   Genesis|18:7  And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender
 and good, and gave [it] unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
   Genesis|18:8  And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had
 dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and
 they did eat.
   Genesis|18:9  And they said unto him, Where [is] Sarah thy wife? And he
 said, Behold, in the tent.
   Genesis|18:10  And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according
 to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah
 heard [it] in the tent door, which [was] behind him.
   Genesis|18:11  Now Abraham and Sarah [were] old [and] well stricken in
 age; [and] it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
   Genesis|18:12  Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am
 waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
   Genesis|18:13  And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh,
 saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
   Genesis|18:14  Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed

 I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall
 have a son.
   Genesis|18:15  Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was
 afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
   Genesis|18:16  And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom:
 and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
   Genesis|18:17  And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing
 which I do;
   Genesis|18:18  Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty
 nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
   Genesis|18:19  For I know him, that he will command his children and his
 household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice
 and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath
 spoken of him.
   Genesis|18:20  And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah
 is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
   Genesis|18:21  I will go down now, and see whether they have done
 altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I
 will know.
   Genesis|18:22  And the men turned their faces from thence, and went
 toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

   Genesis|18:23  And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy
 the righteous with the wicked?
   Genesis|18:24  Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city:
 wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that
 [are] therein?
   Genesis|18:25  That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the
 righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked,
 that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
   Genesis|18:26  And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous
 within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
   Genesis|18:27  And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken
 upon me to speak unto the Lord, which [am but] dust and ashes:
   Genesis|18:28  Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous:
 wilt thou destroy all the city for [lack of] five? And he said, If I find
 there forty and five, I will not destroy [it].
   Genesis|18:29  And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure
 there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do [it] for
 forty's sake.
   Genesis|18:30  And he said [unto him], Oh let not the Lord be angry, and
 I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said,
 I will not do [it], if I find thirty there.

   Genesis|18:31  And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak
 unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said,
 I will not destroy [it] for twenty's sake.
   Genesis|18:32  And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will
 speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he
 said, I will not destroy [it] for ten's sake.
   Genesis|18:33  And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left
 communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
   Genesis|19:1  And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in
 the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them; and he bowed
 himself with his face toward the ground;
   Genesis|19:2  And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you,
 into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye
 shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will
 abide in the street all night.
   Genesis|19:3  And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto
 him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake
 unleavened bread, and they did eat.
   Genesis|19:4  But before they lay down, the men of the city, [even] the
 men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people
 from every quarter:

   Genesis|19:5  And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where [are]
 the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we
 may know them.
   Genesis|19:6  And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door
 after him,
   Genesis|19:7  And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
   Genesis|19:8  Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man;
 let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as [is] good
 in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under
 the shadow of my roof.
   Genesis|19:9  And they said, Stand back. And they said [again], This one
 [fellow] came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal
 worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, [even]
 Lot, and came near to break the door.
   Genesis|19:10  But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the
 house to them, and shut to the door.
   Genesis|19:11  And they smote the men that [were] at the door of the
 house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves
 to find the door.
   Genesis|19:12  And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son
 in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the

 city, bring [them] out of this place:
   Genesis|19:13  For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is
 waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to
 destroy it.
   Genesis|19:14  And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which
 married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the
 LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons
 in law.
   Genesis|19:15  And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot,
 saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest
 thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
   Genesis|19:16  And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand,
 and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the
 LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him
 without the city.
   Genesis|19:17  And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth
 abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither
 stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
   Genesis|19:18  And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
   Genesis|19:19  Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and
 thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast showed unto me in saving my

 life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I
 die:
   Genesis|19:20  Behold now, this city [is] near to flee unto, and it [is]
 a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, ([is] it not a little one?) and my
 soul shall live.
   Genesis|19:21  And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning
 this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for which thou
 hast spoken.
   Genesis|19:22  Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till
 thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
   Genesis|19:23  The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into
 Zoar.
   Genesis|19:24  Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah
 brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
   Genesis|19:25  And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all
 the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
   Genesis|19:26  But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a
 pillar of salt.
   Genesis|19:27  And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where
 he stood before the LORD:
   Genesis|19:28  And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all

 the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went
 up as the smoke of a furnace.
   Genesis|19:29  And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the
 plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the
 overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
   Genesis|19:30  And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain,
 and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he
 dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
   Genesis|19:31  And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father [is]
 old, and [there is] not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the
 manner of all the earth:
   Genesis|19:32  Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie
 with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
   Genesis|19:33  And they made their father drink wine that night: and the
 firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she
 lay down, nor when she arose.
   Genesis|19:34  And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said
 unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him
 drink wine this night also; and go thou in, [and] lie with him, that we may
 preserve seed of our father.
   Genesis|19:35  And they made their father drink wine that night also: and

 the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay
 down, nor when she arose.
   Genesis|19:36  Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their
 father.
   Genesis|19:37  And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab:
 the same [is] the father of the Moabites unto this day.
   Genesis|19:38  And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name
 Benammi: the same [is] the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
   Genesis|20:1  And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country,
 and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
   Genesis|20:2  And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She [is] my sister: and
 Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
   Genesis|20:3  But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to
 him, Behold, thou [art but] a dead man, for the woman which thou hast
 taken; for she [is] a man's wife.
   Genesis|20:4  But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord,
 wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
   Genesis|20:5  Said he not unto me, She [is] my sister? and she, even she
 herself said, He [is] my brother: in the integrity of my heart and
 innocency of my hands have I done this.
   Genesis|20:6  And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou

 didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from
 sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
   Genesis|20:7  Now therefore restore the man [his] wife; for he [is] a
 prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou
 restore [her] not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that
 [are] thine.
   Genesis|20:8  Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called
 all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were
 sore afraid.
   Genesis|20:9  Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast
 thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on
 me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought
 not to be done.
   Genesis|20:10  And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that
 thou hast done this thing?
   Genesis|20:11  And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of
 God [is] not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
   Genesis|20:12  And yet indeed [she is] my sister; she [is] the daughter
 of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
   Genesis|20:13  And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my
 father's house, that I said unto her, This [is] thy kindness which thou

 shalt show unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He
 [is] my brother.
   Genesis|20:14  And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
 womenservants, and gave [them] unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his
 wife.
   Genesis|20:15  And Abimelech said, Behold, my land [is] before thee:
 dwell where it pleaseth thee.
   Genesis|20:16  And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a
 thousand [pieces] of silver: behold, he [is] to thee a covering of the
 eyes, unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was
 reproved.
   Genesis|20:17  So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and
 his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare [children].
   Genesis|20:18  For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house
 of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
   Genesis|21:1  And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did
 unto Sarah as he had spoken.
   Genesis|21:2  For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age,
 at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
   Genesis|21:3  And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto
 him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

   Genesis|21:4  And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old,
 as God had commanded him.
   Genesis|21:5  And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac
 was born unto him.
   Genesis|21:6  And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, [so that] all
 that hear will laugh with me.
   Genesis|21:7  And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah
 should have given children suck? for I have born [him] a son in his old
 age.
   Genesis|21:8  And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a
 great feast the [same] day that Isaac was weaned.
   Genesis|21:9  And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had
 born unto Abraham, mocking.
   Genesis|21:10  Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman
 and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son,
 [even] with Isaac.
   Genesis|21:11  And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because
 of his son.
   Genesis|21:12  And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy
 sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah
 hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be

 called.
   Genesis|21:13  And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation,
 because he [is] thy seed.
   Genesis|21:14  And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread,
 and a bottle of water, and gave [it] unto Hagar, putting [it] on her
 shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered
 in the wilderness of Beersheba.
   Genesis|21:15  And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the
 child under one of the shrubs.
   Genesis|21:16  And she went, and sat her down over against [him] a good
 way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of
 the child. And she sat over against [him], and lift up her voice, and wept.
   Genesis|21:17  And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God
 called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar?
 fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he [is].
   Genesis|21:18  Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I
 will make him a great nation.
   Genesis|21:19  And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and
 she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
   Genesis|21:20  And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the
 wilderness, and became an archer.

   Genesis|21:21  And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother
 took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
   Genesis|21:22  And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and
 Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God [is]
 with thee in all that thou doest:
   Genesis|21:23  Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not
 deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: [but]
 according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto
 me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
   Genesis|21:24  And Abraham said, I will swear.
   Genesis|21:25  And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water,
 which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
   Genesis|21:26  And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing:
 neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I [of it], but to day.
   Genesis|21:27  And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto
 Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
   Genesis|21:28  And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by
 themselves.
   Genesis|21:29  And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What [mean] these seven
 ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
   Genesis|21:30  And he said, For [these] seven ewe lambs shalt thou take

 of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this
 well.
   Genesis|21:31  Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there
 they sware both of them.
   Genesis|21:32  Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech
 rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into
 the land of the Philistines.
   Genesis|21:33  And [Abraham] planted a grove in Beersheba, and called
 there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
   Genesis|21:34  And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
   Genesis|22:1  And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt
 Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, [here] I [am].
   Genesis|22:2  And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom
 thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for
 a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
   Genesis|22:3  And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his
 ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave
 the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of
 which God had told him.
   Genesis|22:4  Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw
 the place afar off.

   Genesis|22:5  And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the
 ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
   Genesis|22:6  And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid
 [it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and
 they went both of them together.
   Genesis|22:7  And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My
 father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and
 the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering?
   Genesis|22:8  And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb
 for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
   Genesis|22:9  And they came to the place which God had told him of; and
 Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac
 his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
   Genesis|22:10  And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife
 to slay his son.
   Genesis|22:11  And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven,
 and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here [am] I.
   Genesis|22:12  And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do
 thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou
 hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.
   Genesis|22:13  And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold

 behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and
 took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his
 son.
   Genesis|22:14  And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as
 it is said [to] this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
   Genesis|22:15  And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of
 heaven the second time,
   Genesis|22:16  And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for
 because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine
 only [son]:
   Genesis|22:17  That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I
 will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which
 [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his
 enemies;
   Genesis|22:18  And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be
 blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
   Genesis|22:19  So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up
 and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
   Genesis|22:20  And it came to pass after these things, that it was told
 Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy
 brother Nahor;

   Genesis|22:21  Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the
 father of Aram,
   Genesis|22:22  And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and
 Bethuel.
   Genesis|22:23  And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to
 Nahor, Abraham's brother.
   Genesis|22:24  And his concubine, whose name [was] Reumah, she bare also
 Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
   Genesis|23:1  And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old:
 [these were] the years of the life of Sarah.
   Genesis|23:2  And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same [is] Hebron in the
 land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
   Genesis|23:3  And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto
 the sons of Heth, saying,
   Genesis|23:4  I [am] a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a
 possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my
 sight.
   Genesis|23:5  And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
   Genesis|23:6  Hear us, my lord: thou [art] a mighty prince among us: in
 the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from
 thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.

   Genesis|23:7  And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of
 the land, [even] to the children of Heth.
   Genesis|23:8  And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that
 I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and entreat for me to
 Ephron the son of Zohar,
   Genesis|23:9  That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath,
 which [is] in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he
 shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
   Genesis|23:10  And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron
 the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth,
 [even] of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
   Genesis|23:11  Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave
 that [is] therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people
 give I it thee: bury thy dead.
   Genesis|23:12  And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the
 land.
   Genesis|23:13  And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of
 the land, saying, But if thou [wilt give it], I pray thee, hear me: I will
 give thee money for the field; take [it] of me, and I will bury my dead
 there.
   Genesis|23:14  And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,

   Genesis|23:15  My lord, hearken unto me: the land [is worth] four hundred
 shekels of silver; what [is] that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy
 dead.
   Genesis|23:16  And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to
 Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth,
 four hundred shekels of silver, current [money] with the merchant.
   Genesis|23:17  And the field of Ephron, which [was] in Machpelah, which
 [was] before Mamre, the field, and the cave which [was] therein, and all
 the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all the borders round
 about, were made sure
   Genesis|23:18  Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the
 children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
   Genesis|23:19  And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave
 of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same [is] Hebron in the land of
 Canaan.
   Genesis|23:20  And the field, and the cave that [is] therein, were made
 sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
   Genesis|24:1  And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the
 LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
   Genesis|24:2  And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that
 ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

   Genesis|24:3  And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven,
 and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of
 the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
   Genesis|24:4  But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and
 take a wife unto my son Isaac.
   Genesis|24:5  And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will
 not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son
 again unto the land from whence thou camest?
   Genesis|24:6  And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not
 my son thither again.
   Genesis|24:7  The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's
 house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that
 sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send
 his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
   Genesis|24:8  And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then
 thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
   Genesis|24:9  And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his
 master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
   Genesis|24:10  And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his
 master, and departed; for all the goods of his master [were] in his hand:
 and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

   Genesis|24:11  And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a
 well of water at the time of the evening, [even] the time that women go out
 to draw [water].
   Genesis|24:12  And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee,
 send me good speed this day, and show kindness unto my master Abraham.
   Genesis|24:13  Behold, I stand [here] by the well of water; and the
 daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
   Genesis|24:14  And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall
 say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall
 say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: [let the same be] she
 [that] thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know
 that thou hast showed kindness unto my master.
   Genesis|24:15  And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that,
 behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife
 of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
   Genesis|24:16  And the damsel [was] very fair to look upon, a virgin,
 neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled
 her pitcher, and came up.
   Genesis|24:17  And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray
 thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
   Genesis|24:18  And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down

 her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
   Genesis|24:19  And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will
 draw [water] for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
   Genesis|24:20  And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough,
 and ran again unto the well to draw [water], and drew for all his camels.
   Genesis|24:21  And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit
 whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
   Genesis|24:22  And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that
 the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets
 for her hands of ten [shekels] weight of gold;
   Genesis|24:23  And said, Whose daughter [art] thou? tell me, I pray thee:
 is there room [in] thy father's house for us to lodge in?
   Genesis|24:24  And she said unto him, I [am] the daughter of Bethuel the
 son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
   Genesis|24:25  She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and
 provender enough, and room to lodge in.
   Genesis|24:26  And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
   Genesis|24:27  And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of my master
 Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth:
 I [being] in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
   Genesis|24:28  And the damsel ran, and told [them of] her mother's house

 these things.
   Genesis|24:29  And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban: and
 Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
   Genesis|24:30  And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets
 upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister,
 saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold,
 he stood by the camels at the well.
   Genesis|24:31  And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore
 standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the
 camels.
   Genesis|24:32  And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his
 camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his
 feet, and the men's feet that [were] with him.
   Genesis|24:33  And there was set [meat] before him to eat: but he said, I
 will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
   Genesis|24:34  And he said, I [am] Abraham's servant.
   Genesis|24:35  And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is
 become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and
 gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
   Genesis|24:36  And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when
 she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

   Genesis|24:37  And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a
 wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
   Genesis|24:38  But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my
 kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
   Genesis|24:39  And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not
 follow me.
   Genesis|24:40  And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will
 send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife
 for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
   Genesis|24:41  Then shalt thou be clear from [this] my oath, when thou
 comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee [one], thou shalt be clear
 from my oath.
   Genesis|24:42  And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of
 my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
   Genesis|24:43  Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to
 pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw [water], and I say to her,
 Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
   Genesis|24:44  And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw
 for thy camels: [let] the same [be] the woman whom the LORD hath appointed
 out for my master's son.
   Genesis|24:45  And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold,

 Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto
 the well, and drew [water]: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
   Genesis|24:46  And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her
 [shoulder], and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I
 drank, and she made the camels drink also.
   Genesis|24:47  And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter [art] thou? And
 she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him:
 and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
   Genesis|24:48  And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and
 blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right
 way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
   Genesis|24:49  And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master,
 tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the
 left.
   Genesis|24:50  Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing
 proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
   Genesis|24:51  Behold, Rebekah [is] before thee, take [her], and go, and
 let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
   Genesis|24:52  And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard
 their words, he worshipped the LORD, [bowing himself] to the earth.
   Genesis|24:53  And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels

 of gold, and raiment, and gave [them] to Rebekah: he gave also to her
 brother and to her mother precious things.
   Genesis|24:54  And they did eat and drink, he and the men that [were]
 with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he
 said, Send me away unto my master.
   Genesis|24:55  And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide
 with us [a few] days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
   Genesis|24:56  And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath
 prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
   Genesis|24:57  And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her
 mouth.
   Genesis|24:58  And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go
 with this man? And she said, I will go.
   Genesis|24:59  And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse,
 and Abraham's servant, and his men.
   Genesis|24:60  And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou [art]
 our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of millions, and let thy seed
 possess the gate of those which hate them.
   Genesis|24:61  And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the
 camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his
 way.

   Genesis|24:62  And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he
 dwelt in the south country.
   Genesis|24:63  And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the
 eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels
 [were] coming.
   Genesis|24:64  And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac,
 she lighted off the camel.
   Genesis|24:65  For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is] this
 that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It [is]
 my master: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.
   Genesis|24:66  And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
   Genesis|24:67  And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and
 took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was
 comforted after his mother's [death].
   Genesis|25:1  Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.
   Genesis|25:2  And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and
 Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
   Genesis|25:3  And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan
 were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
   Genesis|25:4  And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and
 Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah.

   Genesis|25:5  And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
   Genesis|25:6  But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had,
 Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet
 lived, eastward, unto the east country.
   Genesis|25:7  And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham's life
 which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
   Genesis|25:8  Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age,
 an old man, and full [of years]; and was gathered to his people.
   Genesis|25:9  And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of
 Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which [is]
 before Mamre;
   Genesis|25:10  The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth:
 there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
   Genesis|25:11  And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God
 blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
   Genesis|25:12  Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son,
 whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
   Genesis|25:13  And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their
 names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth;
 and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
   Genesis|25:14  And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

   Genesis|25:15  Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
   Genesis|25:16  These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their
 names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to
 their nations.
   Genesis|25:17  And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, an
 hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and
 was gathered unto his people.
   Genesis|25:18  And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that [is] before
 Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all
 his brethren.
   Genesis|25:19  And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son:
 Abraham begat Isaac:
   Genesis|25:20  And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to
 wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban
 the Syrian.
   Genesis|25:21  And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she
 [was] barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife
 conceived.
   Genesis|25:22  And the children struggled together within her; and she
 said, If [it be] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
   Genesis|25:23  And the LORD said unto her, Two nations [are] in thy womb,

 and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and [the one]
 people shall be stronger than [the other] people; and the elder shall serve
 the younger.
   Genesis|25:24  And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold,
 [there were] twins in her womb.
   Genesis|25:25  And the first came out red, all over like an hairy
 garment; and they called his name Esau.
   Genesis|25:26  And after that came his brother out, and his hand took
 hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was]
 threescore years old when she bare them.
   Genesis|25:27  And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of
 the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man, dwelling in tents.
   Genesis|25:28  And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his] venison:
 but Rebekah loved Jacob.
   Genesis|25:29  And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and
 he [was] faint:
   Genesis|25:30  And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that
 same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
   Genesis|25:31  And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
   Genesis|25:32  And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and
 what profit shall this birthright do to me?

   Genesis|25:33  And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto
 him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
   Genesis|25:34  Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he
 did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised [his]
 birthright.
   Genesis|26:1  And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine
 that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the
 Philistines unto Gerar.
   Genesis|26:2  And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into
 Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
   Genesis|26:3  Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will
 bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these
 countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy
 father;
   Genesis|26:4  And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of
 heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed
 shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
   Genesis|26:5  Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge,
 my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
   Genesis|26:6  And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
   Genesis|26:7  And the men of the place asked [him] of his wife; and he

 said, She [is] my sister: for he feared to say, [She is] my wife; lest,
 [said he], the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she
 [was] fair to look upon.
   Genesis|26:8  And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time,
 that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw,
 and, behold, Isaac [was] sporting with Rebekah his wife.
   Genesis|26:9  And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety
 she [is] thy wife: and how saidst thou, She [is] my sister? And Isaac said
 unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
   Genesis|26:10  And Abimelech said, What [is] this thou hast done unto us?
 one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest
 have brought guiltiness upon us.
   Genesis|26:11  And Abimelech charged all [his] people, saying, He that
 toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
   Genesis|26:12  Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same
 year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
   Genesis|26:13  And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until
 he became very great:
   Genesis|26:14  For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds,
 and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
   Genesis|26:15  For all the wells which his father's servants had digged

 in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and
 filled them with earth.
   Genesis|26:16  And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art
 much mightier than we.
   Genesis|26:17  And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the
 valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
   Genesis|26:18  And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had
 digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped
 them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names
 by which his father had called them.
   Genesis|26:19  And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there
 a well of springing water.
   Genesis|26:20  And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen,
 saying, The water [is] ours: and he called the name of the well Esek;
 because they strove with him.
   Genesis|26:21  And they digged another well, and strove for that also:
 and he called the name of it Sitnah.
   Genesis|26:22  And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and
 for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he
 said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in
 the land.

   Genesis|26:23  And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
   Genesis|26:24  And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I
 [am] the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I [am] with thee, and
 will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
   Genesis|26:25  And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of
 the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a
 well.
   Genesis|26:26  Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of
 his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
   Genesis|26:27  And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing
 ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
   Genesis|26:28  And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with
 thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, [even] betwixt us
 and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
   Genesis|26:29  That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee,
 and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in
 peace: thou [art] now the blessed of the LORD.
   Genesis|26:30  And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
   Genesis|26:31  And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to
 another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
   Genesis|26:32  And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants

 came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto
 him, We have found water.
   Genesis|26:33  And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city
 [is] Beersheba unto this day.
   Genesis|26:34  And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith
 the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the
 Hittite:
   Genesis|26:35  Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
   Genesis|27:1  And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes
 were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said
 unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
   Genesis|27:2  And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my
 death:
   Genesis|27:3  Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver
 and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;
   Genesis|27:4  And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring [it] to
 me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
   Genesis|27:5  And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And
 Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring [it].
   Genesis|27:6  And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I
 heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,

   Genesis|27:7  Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat,
 and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
   Genesis|27:8  Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that
 which I command thee.
   Genesis|27:9  Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids
 of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he
 loveth:
   Genesis|27:10  And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat,
 and that he may bless thee before his death.
   Genesis|27:11  And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my
 brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:
   Genesis|27:12  My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to
 him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
   Genesis|27:13  And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my
 son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].
   Genesis|27:14  And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his
 mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
   Genesis|27:15  And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau,
 which [were] with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger
 son:
   Genesis|27:16  And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his

 hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
   Genesis|27:17  And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had
 prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
   Genesis|27:18  And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he
 said, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?
   Genesis|27:19  And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn;
 I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of
 my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
   Genesis|27:20  And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou hast
 found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God
 brought [it] to me.
   Genesis|27:21  And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I
 may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.
   Genesis|27:22  And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt
 him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands
 of Esau.
   Genesis|27:23  And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as
 his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
   Genesis|27:24  And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said, I
 [am].
   Genesis|27:25  And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my

 son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to
 him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
   Genesis|27:26  And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and
 kiss me, my son.
   Genesis|27:27  And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell
 of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son [is] as
 the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
   Genesis|27:28  Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the
 fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
   Genesis|27:29  Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be
 lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed
 [be] every one that curseth thee, and blessed [be] he that blesseth thee.
   Genesis|27:30  And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of
 blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of
 Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
   Genesis|27:31  And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his
 father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's
 venison, that thy soul may bless me.
   Genesis|27:32  And Isaac his father said unto him, Who [art] thou? And he
 said, I [am] thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
   Genesis|27:33  And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where

 [is] he that hath taken venison, and brought [it] me, and I have eaten of
 all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, [and] he shall be
 blessed.
   Genesis|27:34  And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with
 a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me,
 [even] me also, O my father.
   Genesis|27:35  And he said, Thy brother came with subtlety, and hath
 taken away thy blessing.
   Genesis|27:36  And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath
 supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now
 he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a
 blessing for me?
   Genesis|27:37  And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made
 him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and
 with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee,
 my son?
   Genesis|27:38  And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing,
 my father? bless me, [even] me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his
 voice, and wept.
   Genesis|27:39  And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold,
 thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven

 from above;
   Genesis|27:40  And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy
 brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that
 thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
   Genesis|27:41  And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his
 father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my
 father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
   Genesis|27:42  And these words of Esau her elder son were told to
 Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him,
 Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself,
 [purposing] to kill thee.
   Genesis|27:43  Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou
 to Laban my brother to Haran;
   Genesis|27:44  And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury
 turn away;
   Genesis|27:45  Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he
 forget [that] which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee
 from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
   Genesis|27:46  And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because
 of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth,
 such as these [which are] of the daughters of the land, what good shall my

 life do me?
   Genesis|28:1  And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him,
 and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
   Genesis|28:2  Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy
 mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban
 thy mother's brother.
   Genesis|28:3  And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and
 multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
   Genesis|28:4  And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy
 seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a
 stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
   Genesis|28:5  And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto
 Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and
 Esau's mother.
   Genesis|28:6  When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him
 away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed
 him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the
 daughters of Canaan;
   Genesis|28:7  And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was
 gone to Padanaram;
   Genesis|28:8  And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not

 Isaac his father;
   Genesis|28:9  Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which
 he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of
 Nebajoth, to be his wife.
   Genesis|28:10  And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
   Genesis|28:11  And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all
 night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place,
 and put [them for] his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
   Genesis|28:12  And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth,
 and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending
 and descending on it.
   Genesis|28:13  And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I [am] the
 LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou
 liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
   Genesis|28:14  And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou
 shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to
 the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth
 be blessed.
   Genesis|28:15  And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in all
 [places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for
 I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I have spoken to thee

 of.
   Genesis|28:16  And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the
 LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not.
   Genesis|28:17  And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful [is] this place!
 this [is] none other but the house of God, and this [is] the gate of
 heaven.
   Genesis|28:18  And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone
 that he had put [for] his pillows, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured
 oil upon the top of it.
   Genesis|28:19  And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name
 of that city [was called] Luz at the first.
   Genesis|28:20  And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and
 will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and
 raiment to put on,
   Genesis|28:21  So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then
 shall the LORD be my God:
   Genesis|28:22  And this stone, which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be
 God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the
 tenth unto thee.
   Genesis|29:1  Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of
 the people of the east.

   Genesis|29:2  And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo,
 there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they
 watered the flocks: and a great stone [was] upon the well's mouth.
   Genesis|29:3  And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled
 the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone
 again upon the well's mouth in his place.
   Genesis|29:4  And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence [be] ye? And
 they said, Of Haran [are] we.
   Genesis|29:5  And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And
 they said, We know [him].
   Genesis|29:6  And he said unto them, [Is] he well? And they said, [He is]
 well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
   Genesis|29:7  And he said, Lo, [it is] yet high day, neither [is it] time
 that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go
 [and] feed [them].
   Genesis|29:8  And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered
 together, and [till] they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we
 water the sheep.
   Genesis|29:9  And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her
 father's sheep: for she kept them.
   Genesis|29:10  And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of

 Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother,
 that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and
 watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
   Genesis|29:11  And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and
 wept.
   Genesis|29:12  And Jacob told Rachel that he [was] her father's brother,
 and that he [was] Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
   Genesis|29:13  And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob
 his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed
 him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
   Genesis|29:14  And Laban said to him, Surely thou [art] my bone and my
 flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
   Genesis|29:15  And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou [art] my brother,
 shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what [shall] thy
 wages [be]?
   Genesis|29:16  And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder [was]
 Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.
   Genesis|29:17  Leah [was] tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well
 favoured.
   Genesis|29:18  And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven
 years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

   Genesis|29:19  And Laban said, [It is] better that I give her to thee,
 than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
   Genesis|29:20  And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed
 unto him [but] a few days, for the love he had to her.
   Genesis|29:21  And Jacob said unto Laban, Give [me] my wife, for my days
 are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
   Genesis|29:22  And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and
 made a feast.
   Genesis|29:23  And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his
 daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
   Genesis|29:24  And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid
 [for] an handmaid.
   Genesis|29:25  And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it [was]
 Leah: and he said to Laban, What [is] this thou hast done unto me? did not
 I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
   Genesis|29:26  And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to
 give the younger before the firstborn.
   Genesis|29:27  Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the
 service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
   Genesis|29:28  And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him
 Rachel his daughter to wife also.

   Genesis|29:29  And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid
 to be her maid.
   Genesis|29:30  And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel
 more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
   Genesis|29:31  And when the LORD saw that Leah [was] hated, he opened her
 womb: but Rachel [was] barren.
   Genesis|29:32  And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his
 name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction;
 now therefore my husband will love me.
   Genesis|29:33  And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because
 the LORD hath heard that I [was] hated, he hath therefore given me this
 [son] also: and she called his name Simeon.
   Genesis|29:34  And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now
 this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three
 sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
   Genesis|29:35  And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now
 will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left
 bearing.
   Genesis|30:1  And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel
 envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
   Genesis|30:2  And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said,

 [Am] I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
   Genesis|30:3  And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and
 she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
   Genesis|30:4  And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob
 went in unto her.
   Genesis|30:5  And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
   Genesis|30:6  And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my
 voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
   Genesis|30:7  And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a
 second son.
   Genesis|30:8  And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with
 my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
   Genesis|30:9  When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah
 her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
   Genesis|30:10  And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
   Genesis|30:11  And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name
 Gad.
   Genesis|30:12  And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
   Genesis|30:13  And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me
 blessed: and she called his name Asher.
   Genesis|30:14  And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found

 mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel
 said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
   Genesis|30:15  And she said unto her, [Is it] a small matter that thou
 hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also?
 And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's
 mandrakes.
   Genesis|30:16  And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah
 went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I
 have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
   Genesis|30:17  And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare
 Jacob the fifth son.
   Genesis|30:18  And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have
 given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
   Genesis|30:19  And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
   Genesis|30:20  And Leah said, God hath endued me [with] a good dowry; now
 will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she
 called his name Zebulun.
   Genesis|30:21  And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name
 Dinah.
   Genesis|30:22  And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and
 opened her womb.

   Genesis|30:23  And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath
 taken away my reproach:
   Genesis|30:24  And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall
 add to me another son.
   Genesis|30:25  And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that
 Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and
 to my country.
   Genesis|30:26  Give [me] my wives and my children, for whom I have served
 thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
   Genesis|30:27  And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found
 favour in thine eyes, [tarry: for] I have learned by experience that the
 LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
   Genesis|30:28  And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give [it].
   Genesis|30:29  And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee,
 and how thy cattle was with me.
   Genesis|30:30  For [it was] little which thou hadst before I [came], and
 it is [now] increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee
 since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
   Genesis|30:31  And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou
 shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will
 again feed [and] keep thy flock.

   Genesis|30:32  I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from
 thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among
 the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and [of such]
 shall be my hire.
   Genesis|30:33  So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come,
 when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that [is] not
 speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall
 be counted stolen with me.
   Genesis|30:34  And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to
 thy word.
   Genesis|30:35  And he removed that day the he goats that were
 ringstreaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and
 spotted, [and] every one that had [some] white in it, and all the brown
 among the sheep, and gave [them] into the hand of his sons.
   Genesis|30:36  And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob:
 and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
   Genesis|30:37  And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel
 and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white
 appear which [was] in the rods.
   Genesis|30:38  And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks
 in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that

 they should conceive when they came to drink.
   Genesis|30:39  And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought
 forth cattle ringstreaked, speckled, and spotted.
   Genesis|30:40  And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the
 flocks toward the ringstreaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban;
 and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's
 cattle.
   Genesis|30:41  And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did
 conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the
 gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
   Genesis|30:42  But when the cattle were feeble, he put [them] not in: so
 the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
   Genesis|30:43  And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle,
 and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
   Genesis|31:1  And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath
 taken away all that [was] our father's; and of [that] which [was] our
 father's hath he gotten all this glory.
   Genesis|31:2  And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it
 [was] not toward him as before.
   Genesis|31:3  And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy
 fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

   Genesis|31:4  And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto
 his flock,
   Genesis|31:5  And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that
 it [is] not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with
 me.
   Genesis|31:6  And ye know that with all my power I have served your
 father.
   Genesis|31:7  And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten
 times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
   Genesis|31:8  If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all
 the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be
 thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstreaked.
   Genesis|31:9  Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and
 given [them] to me.
   Genesis|31:10  And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived,
 that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which
 leaped upon the cattle [were] ringstreaked, speckled, and grisled.
   Genesis|31:11  And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, [saying],
 Jacob: And I said, Here [am] I.
   Genesis|31:12  And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams
 which leap upon the cattle [are] ringstreaked, speckled, and grisled: for I

 have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
   Genesis|31:13  I [am] the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the
 pillar, [and] where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out
 from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
   Genesis|31:14  And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, [Is there]
 yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
   Genesis|31:15  Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us,
 and hath quite devoured also our money.
   Genesis|31:16  For all the riches which God hath taken from our father,
 that [is] ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto
 thee, do.
   Genesis|31:17  Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon
 camels;
   Genesis|31:18  And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods
 which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in
 Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
   Genesis|31:19  And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen
 the images that [were] her father's.
   Genesis|31:20  And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that
 he told him not that he fled.
   Genesis|31:21  So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and

 passed over the river, and set his face [toward] the mount Gilead.
   Genesis|31:22  And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was
 fled.
   Genesis|31:23  And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him
 seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
   Genesis|31:24  And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and
 said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
   Genesis|31:25  Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent
 in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
   Genesis|31:26  And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou
 hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives
 [taken] with the sword?
   Genesis|31:27  Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away
 from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with
 mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
   Genesis|31:28  And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?
 thou hast now done foolishly in [so] doing.
   Genesis|31:29  It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God
 of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou
 speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
   Genesis|31:30  And now, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone, because

 thou sore longedst after thy father's house, [yet] wherefore hast thou
 stolen my gods?
   Genesis|31:31  And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was
 afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters
 from me.
   Genesis|31:32  With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live:
 before our brethren discern thou what [is] thine with me, and take [it] to
 thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
   Genesis|31:33  And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent,
 and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found [them] not. Then went he
 out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
   Genesis|31:34  Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the
 camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but
 found [them] not.
   Genesis|31:35  And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord
 that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women [is] upon me.
 And he searched, but found not the images.
   Genesis|31:36  And Jacob was wroth, and chided with Laban: and Jacob
 answered and said to Laban, What [is] my trespass? what [is] my sin, that
 thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
   Genesis|31:37  Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou

 found of all thy household stuff? set [it] here before my brethren and thy
 brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
   Genesis|31:38  This twenty years [have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes and
 thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I
 not eaten.
   Genesis|31:39  That which was torn [of beasts] I brought not unto thee; I
 bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, [whether] stolen by
 day, or stolen by night.
   Genesis|31:40  [Thus] I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the
 frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
   Genesis|31:41  Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee
 fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and
 thou hast changed my wages ten times.
   Genesis|31:42  Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the
 fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty.
 God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked
 [thee] yesternight.
   Genesis|31:43  And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, [These] daughters
 [are] my daughters, and [these] children [are] my children, and [these]
 cattle [are] my cattle, and all that thou seest [is] mine: and what can I
 do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have

 born?
   Genesis|31:44  Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and
 thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
   Genesis|31:45  And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
   Genesis|31:46  And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they
 took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
   Genesis|31:47  And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it
 Galeed.
   Genesis|31:48  And Laban said, This heap [is] a witness between me and
 thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
   Genesis|31:49  And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and
 thee, when we are absent one from another.
   Genesis|31:50  If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take
 [other] wives beside my daughters, no man [is] with us; see, God [is]
 witness betwixt me and thee.
   Genesis|31:51  And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold
 [this] pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
   Genesis|31:52  This heap [be] witness, and [this] pillar [be] witness,
 that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass
 over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
   Genesis|31:53  The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their

 father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
   Genesis|31:54  Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called
 his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in
 the mount.
   Genesis|31:55  And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his
 sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned
 unto his place.
   Genesis|32:1  And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
   Genesis|32:2  And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host: and
 he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
   Genesis|32:3  And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother
 unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
   Genesis|32:4  And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my
 lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and
 stayed there until now:
   Genesis|32:5  And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and
 womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in
 thy sight.
   Genesis|32:6  And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to
 thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men
 with him.

   Genesis|32:7  Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he
 divided the people that [was] with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the
 camels, into two bands;
   Genesis|32:8  And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it,
 then the other company which is left shall escape.
   Genesis|32:9  And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my
 father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and
 to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
   Genesis|32:10  I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of
 all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I
 passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
   Genesis|32:11  Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from
 the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, [and] the
 mother with the children.
   Genesis|32:12  And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy
 seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
   Genesis|32:13  And he lodged there that same night; and took of that
 which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
   Genesis|32:14  Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred
 ewes, and twenty rams,
   Genesis|32:15  Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten

 bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
   Genesis|32:16  And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants,
 every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me,
 and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
   Genesis|32:17  And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my
 brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and
 whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee?
   Genesis|32:18  Then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Jacob's; it
 [is] a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he [is] behind us.
   Genesis|32:19  And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all
 that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau,
 when ye find him.
   Genesis|32:20  And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is] behind
 us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me,
 and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
   Genesis|32:21  So went the present over before him: and himself lodged
 that night in the company.
   Genesis|32:22  And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his
 two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
   Genesis|32:23  And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent
 over that he had.

   Genesis|32:24  And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with
 him until the breaking of the day.
   Genesis|32:25  And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he
 touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of
 joint, as he wrestled with him.
   Genesis|32:26  And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said,
 I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
   Genesis|32:27  And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said,
 Jacob.
   Genesis|32:28  And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but
 Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast
 prevailed.
   Genesis|32:29  And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee,
 thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my
 name? And he blessed him there.
   Genesis|32:30  And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have
 seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
   Genesis|32:31  And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he
 halted upon his thigh.
   Genesis|32:32  Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the sinew
 which shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day:

 because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
   Genesis|33:1  And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau
 came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah,
 and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
   Genesis|33:2  And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and
 Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
   Genesis|33:3  And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the
 ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
   Genesis|33:4  And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his
 neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
   Genesis|33:5  And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the
 children; and said, Who [are] those with thee? And he said, The children
 which God hath graciously given thy servant.
   Genesis|33:6  Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children,
 and they bowed themselves.
   Genesis|33:7  And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed
 themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed
 themselves.
   Genesis|33:8  And he said, What [meanest] thou by all this drove which I
 met? And he said, [These are] to find grace in the sight of my lord.
   Genesis|33:9  And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou

 hast unto thyself.
   Genesis|33:10  And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found
 grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I
 have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast
 pleased with me.
   Genesis|33:11  Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee;
 because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And
 he urged him, and he took [it].
   Genesis|33:12  And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I
 will go before thee.
   Genesis|33:13  And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children
 [are] tender, and the flocks and herds with young [are] with me: and if men
 should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
   Genesis|33:14  Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant:
 and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and
 the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
   Genesis|33:15  And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee [some] of the
 folk that [are] with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in
 the sight of my lord.
   Genesis|33:16  So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
   Genesis|33:17  And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house,

 and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called
 Succoth.
   Genesis|33:18  And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which [is] in
 the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent
 before the city.
   Genesis|33:19  And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his
 tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an
 hundred pieces of money.
   Genesis|33:20  And he erected there an altar, and called it
 Elelohe-Israel.
   Genesis|34:1  And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob,
 went out to see the daughters of the land.
   Genesis|34:2  And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the
 country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
   Genesis|34:3  And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he
 loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
   Genesis|34:4  And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me
 this damsel to wife.
   Genesis|34:5  And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now
 his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until
 they were come.

   Genesis|34:6  And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to
 commune with him.
   Genesis|34:7  And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard
 [it]: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had
 wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought
 not to be done.
   Genesis|34:8  And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son
 Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
   Genesis|34:9  And make ye marriages with us, [and] give your daughters
 unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
   Genesis|34:10  And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before
 you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
   Genesis|34:11  And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren,
 Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
   Genesis|34:12  Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give
 according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
   Genesis|34:13  And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his
 father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
   Genesis|34:14  And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give
 our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that [were] a reproach unto
 us:

   Genesis|34:15  But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we
 [be], that every male of you be circumcised;
   Genesis|34:16  Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take
 your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one
 people.
   Genesis|34:17  But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised;
 then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
   Genesis|34:18  And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
   Genesis|34:19  And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he
 had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he [was] more honourable than all the
 house of his father.
   Genesis|34:20  And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their
 city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
   Genesis|34:21  These men [are] peaceable with us; therefore let them
 dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, [it is] large
 enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us
 give them our daughters.
   Genesis|34:22  Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with
 us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they [are]
 circumcised.
   Genesis|34:23  [Shall] not their cattle and their substance and every

 beast of theirs [be] ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will
 dwell with us.
   Genesis|34:24  And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that
 went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that
 went out of the gate of his city.
   Genesis|34:25  And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore,
 that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each
 man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
   Genesis|34:26  And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of
 the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
   Genesis|34:27  The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the
 city, because they had defiled their sister.
   Genesis|34:28  They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses,
 and that which [was] in the city, and that which [was] in the field,
   Genesis|34:29  And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their
 wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that [was] in the house.
   Genesis|34:30  And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to
 make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites
 and the Perizzites: and I [being] few in number, they shall gather
 themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I
 and my house.

   Genesis|34:31  And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an
 harlot?
   Genesis|35:1  And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell
 there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou
 fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
   Genesis|35:2  Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that [were]
 with him, Put away the strange gods that [are] among you, and be clean, and
 change your garments:
   Genesis|35:3  And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make
 there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was
 with me in the way which I went.
   Genesis|35:4  And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which [were]
 in their hand, and [all their] earrings which [were] in their ears; and
 Jacob hid them under the oak which [was] by Shechem.
   Genesis|35:5  And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the
 cities that [were] round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons
 of Jacob.
   Genesis|35:6  So Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan,
 that [is], Bethel, he and all the people that [were] with him.
   Genesis|35:7  And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel:
 because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his

 brother.
   Genesis|35:8  But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried
 beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
   Genesis|35:9  And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of
 Padanaram, and blessed him.
   Genesis|35:10  And God said unto him, Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name shall
 not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called
 his name Israel.
   Genesis|35:11  And God said unto him, I [am] God Almighty: be fruitful
 and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings
 shall come out of thy loins;
   Genesis|35:12  And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I
 will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
   Genesis|35:13  And God went up from him in the place where he talked with
 him.
   Genesis|35:14  And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked
 with him, [even] a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon,
 and he poured oil thereon.
   Genesis|35:15  And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake
 with him, Bethel.
   Genesis|35:16  And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little

 way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
   Genesis|35:17  And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the
 midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
   Genesis|35:18  And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for
 she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him
 Benjamin.
   Genesis|35:19  And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath,
 which [is] Bethlehem.
   Genesis|35:20  And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that [is] the
 pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
   Genesis|35:21  And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower
 of Edar.
   Genesis|35:22  And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that
 Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard
 [it]. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
   Genesis|35:23  The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon,
 and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
   Genesis|35:24  The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
   Genesis|35:25  And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and
 Naphtali:
   Genesis|35:26  And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher:

 these [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
   Genesis|35:27  And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the
 city of Arbah, which [is] Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
   Genesis|35:28  And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
   Genesis|35:29  And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered
 unto his people, [being] old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob
 buried him.
   Genesis|36:1  Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom.
   Genesis|36:2  Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the
 daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the
 daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
   Genesis|36:3  And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
   Genesis|36:4  And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
   Genesis|36:5  And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these
 [are] the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
   Genesis|36:6  And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters,
 and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and
 all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into
 the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
   Genesis|36:7  For their riches were more than that they might dwell
 together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them

 because of their cattle.
   Genesis|36:8  Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau [is] Edom.
   Genesis|36:9  And these [are] the generations of Esau the father of the
 Edomites in mount Seir:
   Genesis|36:10  These [are] the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of
 Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
   Genesis|36:11  And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and
 Gatam, and Kenaz.
   Genesis|36:12  And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she
 bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these [were] the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
   Genesis|36:13  And these [are] the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah,
 Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
   Genesis|36:14  And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of
 Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and
 Jaalam, and Korah.
   Genesis|36:15  These [were] dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of
 Eliphaz the firstborn [son] of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho,
 duke Kenaz,
   Genesis|36:16  Duke Korah, duke Gatam, [and] duke Amalek: these [are] the
 dukes [that came] of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these [were] the sons of
 Adah.

   Genesis|36:17  And these [are] the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath,
 duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these [are] the dukes [that came] of
 Reuel in the land of Edom; these [are] the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
   Genesis|36:18  And these [are] the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke
 Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these [were] the dukes [that came] of
 Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.
   Genesis|36:19  These [are] the sons of Esau, who [is] Edom, and these
 [are] their dukes.
   Genesis|36:20  These [are] the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the
 land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
   Genesis|36:21  And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these [are] the dukes of
 the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
   Genesis|36:22  And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's
 sister [was] Timna.
   Genesis|36:23  And the children of Shobal [were] these; Alvan, and
 Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
   Genesis|36:24  And these [are] the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and
 Anah: this [was that] Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he
 fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
   Genesis|36:25  And the children of Anah [were] these; Dishon, and
 Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.

   Genesis|36:26  And these [are] the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and
 Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
   Genesis|36:27  The children of Ezer [are] these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and
 Akan.
   Genesis|36:28  The children of Dishan [are] these; Uz, and Aran.
   Genesis|36:29  These [are] the dukes [that came] of the Horites; duke
 Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
   Genesis|36:30  Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these [are] the dukes
 [that came] of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
   Genesis|36:31  And these [are] the kings that reigned in the land of
 Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
   Genesis|36:32  And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of
 his city [was] Dinhabah.
   Genesis|36:33  And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah
 reigned in his stead.
   Genesis|36:34  And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned
 in his stead.
   Genesis|36:35  And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote
 Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city
 [was] Avith.
   Genesis|36:36  And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his

 stead.
   Genesis|36:37  And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth [by] the river
 reigned in his stead.
   Genesis|36:38  And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in
 his stead.
   Genesis|36:39  And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in
 his stead: and the name of his city [was] Pau; and his wife's name [was]
 Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
   Genesis|36:40  And these [are] the names of the dukes [that came] of
 Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke
 Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
   Genesis|36:41  Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
   Genesis|36:42  Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
   Genesis|36:43  Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these [be] the dukes of Edom,
 according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he [is]
 Esau the father of the Edomites.
   Genesis|37:1  And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a
 stranger, in the land of Canaan.
   Genesis|37:2  These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being]
 seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad
 [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's

 wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
   Genesis|37:3  Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because
 he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of [many] colours.
   Genesis|37:4  And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more
 than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto
 him.
   Genesis|37:5  And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] his brethren:
 and they hated him yet the more.
   Genesis|37:6  And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I
 have dreamed:
   Genesis|37:7  For, behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field, and,
 lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood
 round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
   Genesis|37:8  And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over
 us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the
 more for his dreams, and for his words.
   Genesis|37:9  And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren,
 and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the
 moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
   Genesis|37:10  And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and
 his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What [is] this dream that thou

 hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow
 down ourselves to thee to the earth?
   Genesis|37:11  And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the
 saying.
   Genesis|37:12  And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in
 Shechem.
   Genesis|37:13  And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed [the
 flock] in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to
 him, Here [am I].
   Genesis|37:14  And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be
 well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again.
 So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
   Genesis|37:15  And a certain man found him, and, behold, [he was]
 wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
   Genesis|37:16  And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee,
 where they feed [their flocks].
   Genesis|37:17  And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard
 them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and
 found them in Dothan.
   Genesis|37:18  And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near
 unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

   Genesis|37:19  And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
   Genesis|37:20  Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into
 some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall
 see what will become of his dreams.
   Genesis|37:21  And Reuben heard [it], and he delivered him out of their
 hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
   Genesis|37:22  And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, [but] cast him
 into this pit that [is] in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that
 he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
   Genesis|37:23  And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his
 brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, [his] coat of [many]
 colours that [was] on him;
   Genesis|37:24  And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit
 [was] empty, [there was] no water in it.
   Genesis|37:25  And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their
 eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead
 with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry [it]
 down to Egypt.
   Genesis|37:26  And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit [is it] if
 we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
   Genesis|37:27  Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not

 our hand be upon him; for he [is] our brother [and] our flesh. And his
 brethren were content.
   Genesis|37:28  Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew
 and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for
 twenty [pieces] of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
   Genesis|37:29  And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph
 [was] not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
   Genesis|37:30  And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child
 [is] not; and I, whither shall I go?
   Genesis|37:31  And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the
 goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
   Genesis|37:32  And they sent the coat of [many] colours, and they brought
 [it] to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it
 [be] thy son's coat or no.
   Genesis|37:33  And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son's coat; an evil
 beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
   Genesis|37:34  And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his
 loins, and mourned for his son many days.
   Genesis|37:35  And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort
 him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into
 the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

   Genesis|37:36  And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an
 officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.
   Genesis|38:1  And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from
 his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name [was]
 Hirah.
   Genesis|38:2  And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite,
 whose name [was] Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
   Genesis|38:3  And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name
 Er.
   Genesis|38:4  And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his
 name Onan.
   Genesis|38:5  And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his
 name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
   Genesis|38:6  And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name
 [was] Tamar.
   Genesis|38:7  And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the
 LORD; and the LORD slew him.
   Genesis|38:8  And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife,
 and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
   Genesis|38:9  And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came
 to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled [it] on

 the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
   Genesis|38:10  And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore
 he slew him also.
   Genesis|38:11  Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a
 widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest
 peradventure he die also, as his brethren [did]. And Tamar went and dwelt
 in her father's house.
   Genesis|38:12  And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife
 died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to
 Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
   Genesis|38:13  And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law
 goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
   Genesis|38:14  And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered
 her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which [is]
 by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not
 given unto him to wife.
   Genesis|38:15  When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] an harlot;
 because she had covered her face.
   Genesis|38:16  And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray
 thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she [was] his
 daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest

 come in unto me?
   Genesis|38:17  And he said, I will send [thee] a kid from the flock. And
 she said, Wilt thou give [me] a pledge, till thou send [it]?
   Genesis|38:18  And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said,
 Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that [is] in thine hand. And
 he gave [it] her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
   Genesis|38:19  And she arose, and went away, and laid by her veil from
 her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
   Genesis|38:20  And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the
 Adullamite, to receive [his] pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her
 not.
   Genesis|38:21  Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where [is]
 the harlot, that [was] openly by the way side? And they said, There was no
 harlot in this [place].
   Genesis|38:22  And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and
 also the men of the place said, [that] there was no harlot in this [place].
   Genesis|38:23  And Judah said, Let her take [it] to her, lest we be
 shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
   Genesis|38:24  And it came to pass about three months after, that it was
 told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and
 also, behold, she [is] with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her

 forth, and let her be burnt.
   Genesis|38:25  When she [was] brought forth, she sent to her father in
 law, saying, By the man, whose these [are, am] I with child: and she said,
 Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet, and bracelets, and
 staff.
   Genesis|38:26  And Judah acknowledged [them], and said, She hath been
 more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he
 knew her again no more.
   Genesis|38:27  And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that,
 behold, twins [were] in her womb.
   Genesis|38:28  And it came to pass, when she travailed, that [the one]
 put out [his] hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet
 thread, saying, This came out first.
   Genesis|38:29  And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that,
 behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth?
 [this] breach [be] upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
   Genesis|38:30  And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet
 thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
   Genesis|39:1  And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an
 officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the
 hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.

   Genesis|39:2  And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man;
 and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
   Genesis|39:3  And his master saw that the LORD [was] with him, and that
 the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
   Genesis|39:4  And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and
 he made him overseer over his house, and all [that] he had he put into his
 hand.
   Genesis|39:5  And it came to pass from the time [that] he had made him
 overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the
 Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon
 all that he had in the house, and in the field.
   Genesis|39:6  And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew
 not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was [a]
 goodly [person], and well favoured.
   Genesis|39:7  And it came to pass after these things, that his master's
 wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
   Genesis|39:8  But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my
 master wotteth not what [is] with me in the house, and he hath committed
 all that he hath to my hand;
   Genesis|39:9  [There is] none greater in this house than I; neither hath
 he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou [art] his wife: how

 then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
   Genesis|39:10  And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day,
 that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, [or] to be with her.
   Genesis|39:11  And it came to pass about this time, that [Joseph] went
 into the house to do his business; and [there was] none of the men of the
 house there within.
   Genesis|39:12  And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me:
 and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
   Genesis|39:13  And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his
 garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
   Genesis|39:14  That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto
 them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came
 in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
   Genesis|39:15  And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my
 voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him
 out.
   Genesis|39:16  And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came
 home.
   Genesis|39:17  And she spake unto him according to these words, saying,
 The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to
 mock me:

   Genesis|39:18  And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried,
 that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
   Genesis|39:19  And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of
 his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy
 servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
   Genesis|39:20  And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison,
 a place where the king's prisoners [were] bound: and he was there in the
 prison.
   Genesis|39:21  But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and
 gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
   Genesis|39:22  And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand
 all the prisoners that [were] in the prison; and whatsoever they did there,
 he was the doer [of it].
   Genesis|39:23  The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing [that
 was] under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and [that] which he
 did, the LORD made [it] to prosper.
   Genesis|40:1  And it came to pass after these things, [that] the butler
 of the king of Egypt and [his] baker had offended their lord the king of
 Egypt.
   Genesis|40:2  And Pharaoh was wroth against two [of] his officers,
 against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.

   Genesis|40:3  And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the
 guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph [was] bound.
   Genesis|40:4  And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and
 he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
   Genesis|40:5  And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream
 in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the
 butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which [were] bound in the
 prison.
   Genesis|40:6  And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked
 upon them, and, behold, they [were] sad.
   Genesis|40:7  And he asked Pharaoh's officers that [were] with him in the
 ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye [so] sadly to day?
   Genesis|40:8  And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there
 is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, [Do] not
 interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [them], I pray you.
   Genesis|40:9  And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to
 him, In my dream, behold, a vine [was] before me;
   Genesis|40:10  And in the vine [were] three branches: and it [was] as
 though it budded, [and] her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof
 brought forth ripe grapes:
   Genesis|40:11  And Pharaoh's cup [was] in my hand: and I took the grapes,

 and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's
 hand.
   Genesis|40:12  And Joseph said unto him, This [is] the interpretation of
 it: The three branches [are] three days:
   Genesis|40:13  Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head,
 and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into
 his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
   Genesis|40:14  But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and show
 kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and
 bring me out of this house:
   Genesis|40:15  For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the
 Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the
 dungeon.
   Genesis|40:16  When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good,
 he said unto Joseph, I also [was] in my dream, and, behold, [I had] three
 white baskets on my head:
   Genesis|40:17  And in the uppermost basket [there was] of all manner of
 bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my
 head.
   Genesis|40:18  And Joseph answered and said, This [is] the interpretation
 thereof: The three baskets [are] three days:

   Genesis|40:19  Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from
 off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh
 from off thee.
   Genesis|40:20  And it came to pass the third day, [which was] Pharaoh's
 birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the
 head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
   Genesis|40:21  And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership
 again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
   Genesis|40:22  But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted
 to them.
   Genesis|40:23  Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat
 him.
   Genesis|41:1  And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that
 Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
   Genesis|41:2  And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well
 favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
   Genesis|41:3  And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the
 river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the [other] kine upon the
 brink of the river.
   Genesis|41:4  And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the
 seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.

   Genesis|41:5  And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold,
 seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
   Genesis|41:6  And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind
 sprung up after them.
   Genesis|41:7  And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full
 ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, [it was] a dream.
   Genesis|41:8  And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was
 troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all
 the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none
 that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
   Genesis|41:9  Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do
 remember my faults this day:
   Genesis|41:10  Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in
 the captain of the guard's house, [both] me and the chief baker:
   Genesis|41:11  And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed
 each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
   Genesis|41:12  And [there was] there with us a young man, an Hebrew,
 servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to
 us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
   Genesis|41:13  And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was;
 me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.

   Genesis|41:14  Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him
 hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved [himself], and changed his
 raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
   Genesis|41:15  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and
 [there is] none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, [that]
 thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
   Genesis|41:16  And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me:
 God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
   Genesis|41:17  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood
 upon the bank of the river:
   Genesis|41:18  And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine,
 fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
   Genesis|41:19  And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and
 very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of
 Egypt for badness:
   Genesis|41:20  And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the
 first seven fat kine:
   Genesis|41:21  And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known
 that they had eaten them; but they [were] still ill favoured, as at the
 beginning. So I awoke.
   Genesis|41:22  And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in

 one stalk, full and good:
   Genesis|41:23  And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, [and] blasted
 with the east wind, sprung up after them:
   Genesis|41:24  And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told
 [this] unto the magicians; but [there was] none that could declare [it] to
 me.
   Genesis|41:25  And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh [is]
 one: God hath showed Pharaoh what he [is] about to do.
   Genesis|41:26  The seven good kine [are] seven years; and the seven good
 ears [are] seven years: the dream [is] one.
   Genesis|41:27  And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up
 after them [are] seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the
 east wind shall be seven years of famine.
   Genesis|41:28  This [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What
 God [is] about to do he showeth unto Pharaoh.
   Genesis|41:29  Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout
 all the land of Egypt:
   Genesis|41:30  And there shall arise after them seven years of famine;
 and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine
 shall consume the land;
   Genesis|41:31  And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of

 that famine following; for it [shall be] very grievous.
   Genesis|41:32  And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; [it
 is] because the thing [is] established by God, and God will shortly bring
 it to pass.
   Genesis|41:33  Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and
 wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
   Genesis|41:34  Let Pharaoh do [this], and let him appoint officers over
 the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven
 plenteous years.
   Genesis|41:35  And let them gather all the food of those good years that
 come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in
 the cities.
   Genesis|41:36  And that food shall be for store to the land against the
 seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land
 perish not through the famine.
   Genesis|41:37  And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the
 eyes of all his servants.
   Genesis|41:38  And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find [such a
 one] as this [is], a man in whom the Spirit of God [is]?
   Genesis|41:39  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed
 thee all this, [there is] none so discreet and wise as thou [art]:

   Genesis|41:40  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word
 shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than
 thou.
   Genesis|41:41  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over
 all the land of Egypt.
   Genesis|41:42  And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it
 upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a
 gold chain about his neck;
   Genesis|41:43  And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he
 had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him [ruler] over
 all the land of Egypt.
   Genesis|41:44  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I [am] Pharaoh, and without
 thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
   Genesis|41:45  And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he
 gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And
 Joseph went out over [all] the land of Egypt.
   Genesis|41:46  And Joseph [was] thirty years old when he stood before
 Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh,
 and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
   Genesis|41:47  And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth
 by handfuls.

   Genesis|41:48  And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which
 were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of
 the field, which [was] round about every city, laid he up in the same.
   Genesis|41:49  And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very
 much, until he left numbering; for [it was] without number.
   Genesis|41:50  And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of
 famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare
 unto him.
   Genesis|41:51  And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For
 God, [said he], hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
   Genesis|41:52  And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath
 caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
   Genesis|41:53  And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land
 of Egypt, were ended.
   Genesis|41:54  And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as
 Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of
 Egypt there was bread.
   Genesis|41:55  And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people
 cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go
 unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
   Genesis|41:56  And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And

 Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the
 famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
   Genesis|41:57  And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy
 [corn]; because that the famine was [so] sore in all lands.
   Genesis|42:1  Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said
 unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
   Genesis|42:2  And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in
 Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live,
 and not die.
   Genesis|42:3  And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
   Genesis|42:4  But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his
 brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
   Genesis|42:5  And the sons of Israel came to buy [corn] among those that
 came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
   Genesis|42:6  And Joseph [was] the governor over the land, [and] he [it
 was] that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came,
 and bowed down themselves before him [with] their faces to the earth.
   Genesis|42:7  And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made
 himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto
 them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
   Genesis|42:8  And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

   Genesis|42:9  And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them,
 and said unto them, Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are
 come.
   Genesis|42:10  And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are
 thy servants come.
   Genesis|42:11  We [are] all one man's sons; we [are] true [men], thy
 servants are no spies.
   Genesis|42:12  And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of
 the land ye are come.
   Genesis|42:13  And they said, Thy servants [are] twelve brethren, the
 sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest [is] this
 day with our father, and one [is] not.
   Genesis|42:14  And Joseph said unto them, That [is it] that I spake unto
 you, saying, Ye [are] spies:
   Genesis|42:15  Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall
 not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
   Genesis|42:16  Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye
 shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether [there be
 any] truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye [are] spies.
   Genesis|42:17  And he put them all together into ward three days.
   Genesis|42:18  And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and

 live; [for] I fear God:
   Genesis|42:19  If ye [be] true [men], let one of your brethren be bound
 in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your
 houses:
   Genesis|42:20  But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your
 words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
   Genesis|42:21  And they said one to another, We [are] verily guilty
 concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he
 besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon
 us.
   Genesis|42:22  And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you,
 saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore,
 behold, also his blood is required.
   Genesis|42:23  And they knew not that Joseph understood [them]; for he
 spake unto them by an interpreter.
   Genesis|42:24  And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and
 returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon,
 and bound him before their eyes.
   Genesis|42:25  Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and
 to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for
 the way: and thus did he unto them.

   Genesis|42:26  And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed
 thence.
   Genesis|42:27  And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass
 provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it [was] in his
 sack's mouth.
   Genesis|42:28  And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and,
 lo, [it is] even in my sack: and their heart failed [them], and they were
 afraid, saying one to another, What [is] this [that] God hath done unto us?
   Genesis|42:29  And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of
 Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
   Genesis|42:30  The man, [who is] the lord of the land, spake roughly to
 us, and took us for spies of the country.
   Genesis|42:31  And we said unto him, We [are] true [men]; we are no
 spies:
   Genesis|42:32  We [be] twelve brethren, sons of our father; one [is] not,
 and the youngest [is] this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
   Genesis|42:33  And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby
 shall I know that ye [are] true [men]; leave one of your brethren [here]
 with me, and take [food for] the famine of your households, and be gone:
   Genesis|42:34  And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know
 that ye [are] no spies, but [that] ye [are] true [men: so] will I deliver

 you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.
   Genesis|42:35  And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that,
 behold, every man's bundle of money [was] in his sack: and when [both] they
 and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
   Genesis|42:36  And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved
 [of my children]: Joseph [is] not, and Simeon [is] not, and ye will take
 Benjamin [away]: all these things are against me.
   Genesis|42:37  And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two
 sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will
 bring him to thee again.
   Genesis|42:38  And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his
 brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in
 the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the
 grave.
   Genesis|43:1  And the famine [was] sore in the land.
   Genesis|43:2  And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which
 they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy
 us a little food.
   Genesis|43:3  And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly
 protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be]
 with you.

   Genesis|43:4  If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and
 buy thee food:
   Genesis|43:5  But if thou wilt not send [him], we will not go down: for
 the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother [be]
 with you.
   Genesis|43:6  And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye [so] ill with me, [as]
 to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
   Genesis|43:7  And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and
 of our kindred, saying, [Is] your father yet alive? have ye [another]
 brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we
 certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
   Genesis|43:8  And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with
 me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and
 thou, [and] also our little ones.
   Genesis|43:9  I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require
 him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me
 bear the blame for ever:
   Genesis|43:10  For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned
 this second time.
   Genesis|43:11  And their father Israel said unto them, If [it must be] so
 now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and

 carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices,
 and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
   Genesis|43:12  And take double money in your hand; and the money that was
 brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry [it] again in your hand;
 peradventure it [was] an oversight:
   Genesis|43:13  Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
   Genesis|43:14  And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he
 may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved [of my
 children], I am bereaved.
   Genesis|43:15  And the men took that present, and they took double money
 in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood
 before Joseph.
   Genesis|43:16  And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the
 ruler of his house, Bring [these] men home, and slay, and make ready; for
 [these] men shall dine with me at noon.
   Genesis|43:17  And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the
 men into Joseph's house.
   Genesis|43:18  And the men were afraid, because they were brought into
 Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in
 our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion
 against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

   Genesis|43:19  And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and
 they communed with him at the door of the house,
   Genesis|43:20  And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to
 buy food:
   Genesis|43:21  And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we
 opened our sacks, and, behold, [every] man's money [was] in the mouth of
 his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our
 hand.
   Genesis|43:22  And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy
 food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
   Genesis|43:23  And he said, Peace [be] to you, fear not: your God, and
 the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your
 money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
   Genesis|43:24  And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave
 [them] water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses
 provender.
   Genesis|43:25  And they made ready the present against Joseph came at
 noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
   Genesis|43:26  And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present
 which [was] in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to
 the earth.

   Genesis|43:27  And he asked them of [their] welfare, and said, [Is] your
 father well, the old man of whom ye spake? [Is] he yet alive?
   Genesis|43:28  And they answered, Thy servant our father [is] in good
 health, he [is] yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made
 obeisance.
   Genesis|43:29  And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin,
 his mother's son, and said, [Is] this your younger brother, of whom ye
 spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
   Genesis|43:30  And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his
 brother: and he sought [where] to weep; and he entered into [his] chamber,
 and wept there.
   Genesis|43:31  And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained
 himself, and said, Set on bread.
   Genesis|43:32  And they set on for him by himself, and for them by
 themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves:
 because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that [is]
 an abomination unto the Egyptians.
   Genesis|43:33  And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his
 birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled
 one at another.
   Genesis|43:34  And he took [and sent] messes unto them from before him:

 but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they
 drank, and were merry with him.
   Genesis|44:1  And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the
 men's sacks [with] food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's
 money in his sack's mouth.
   Genesis|44:2  And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the
 youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph
 had spoken.
   Genesis|44:3  As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away,
 they and their asses.
   Genesis|44:4  [And] when they were gone out of the city, [and] not [yet]
 far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when
 thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for
 good?
   Genesis|44:5  [Is] not this [it] in which my lord drinketh, and whereby
 indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
   Genesis|44:6  And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same
 words.
   Genesis|44:7  And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these
 words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
   Genesis|44:8  Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we

 brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal
 out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
   Genesis|44:9  With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him
 die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
   Genesis|44:10  And he said, Now also [let] it [be] according unto your
 words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be
 blameless.
   Genesis|44:11  Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the
 ground, and opened every man his sack.
   Genesis|44:12  And he searched, [and] began at the eldest, and left at
 the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
   Genesis|44:13  Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass,
 and returned to the city.
   Genesis|44:14  And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he
 [was] yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
   Genesis|44:15  And Joseph said unto them, What deed [is] this that ye
 have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
   Genesis|44:16  And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall
 we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity
 of thy servants: behold, we [are] my lord's servants, both we, and [he]
 also with whom the cup is found.

   Genesis|44:17  And he said, God forbid that I should do so: [but] the man
 in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get
 you up in peace unto your father.
   Genesis|44:18  Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let
 thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine
 anger burn against thy servant: for thou [art] even as Pharaoh.
   Genesis|44:19  My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a
 brother?
   Genesis|44:20  And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man,
 and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he
 alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
   Genesis|44:21  And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me,
 that I may set mine eyes upon him.
   Genesis|44:22  And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father:
 for [if] he should leave his father, [his father] would die.
   Genesis|44:23  And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest
 brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
   Genesis|44:24  And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my
 father, we told him the words of my lord.
   Genesis|44:25  And our father said, Go again, [and] buy us a little food.
   Genesis|44:26  And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be

 with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except
 our youngest brother [be] with us.
   Genesis|44:27  And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my
 wife bare me two [sons]:
   Genesis|44:28  And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is
 torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
   Genesis|44:29  And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him,
 ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
   Genesis|44:30  Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and
 the lad [be] not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's
 life;
   Genesis|44:31  It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad [is] not
 [with us], that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray
 hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
   Genesis|44:32  For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father,
 saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my
 father for ever.
   Genesis|44:33  Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead
 of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
   Genesis|44:34  For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad [be] not
 with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.

   Genesis|45:1  Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that
 stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there
 stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
   Genesis|45:2  And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of
 Pharaoh heard.
   Genesis|45:3  And Joseph said unto his brethren, I [am] Joseph; doth my
 father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were
 troubled at his presence.
   Genesis|45:4  And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray
 you. And they came near. And he said, I [am] Joseph your brother, whom ye
 sold into Egypt.
   Genesis|45:5  Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves,
 that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
   Genesis|45:6  For these two years [hath] the famine [been] in the land:
 and yet [there are] five years, in the which [there shall] neither [be]
 earing nor harvest.
   Genesis|45:7  And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in
 the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
   Genesis|45:8  So now [it was] not you [that] sent me hither, but God: and
 he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler
 throughout all the land of Egypt.

   Genesis|45:9  Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus
 saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto
 me, tarry not:
   Genesis|45:10  And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt
 be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and
 thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
   Genesis|45:11  And there will I nourish thee; for yet [there are] five
 years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come
 to poverty.
   Genesis|45:12  And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother
 Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth that speaketh unto you.
   Genesis|45:13  And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and
 of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father
 hither.
   Genesis|45:14  And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept;
 and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
   Genesis|45:15  Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them:
 and after that his brethren talked with him.
   Genesis|45:16  And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying,
 Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
   Genesis|45:17  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This

 do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
   Genesis|45:18  And take your father and your households, and come unto
 me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the
 fat of the land.
   Genesis|45:19  Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of
 the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your
 father, and come.
   Genesis|45:20  Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land
 of Egypt [is] yours.
   Genesis|45:21  And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them
 wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision
 for the way.
   Genesis|45:22  To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to
 Benjamin he gave three hundred [pieces] of silver, and five changes of
 raiment.
   Genesis|45:23  And to his father he sent after this [manner]; ten asses
 laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and
 bread and meat for his father by the way.
   Genesis|45:24  So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he
 said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
   Genesis|45:25  And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of

 Canaan unto Jacob their father,
   Genesis|45:26  And told him, saying, Joseph [is] yet alive, and he [is]
 governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he
 believed them not.
   Genesis|45:27  And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had
 said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry
 him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
   Genesis|45:28  And Israel said, [It is] enough; Joseph my son [is] yet
 alive: I will go and see him before I die.
   Genesis|46:1  And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came
 to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
   Genesis|46:2  And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and
 said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here [am] I.
   Genesis|46:3  And he said, I [am] God, the God of thy father: fear not to
 go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
   Genesis|46:4  I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely
 bring thee up [again]: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
   Genesis|46:5  And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel
 carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the
 wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
   Genesis|46:6  And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had

 gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed
 with him:
   Genesis|46:7  His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and
 his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
   Genesis|46:8  And these [are] the names of the children of Israel, which
 came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
   Genesis|46:9  And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and
 Carmi.
   Genesis|46:10  And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and
 Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
   Genesis|46:11  And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
   Genesis|46:12  And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and
 Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons
 of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
   Genesis|46:13  And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and
 Shimron.
   Genesis|46:14  And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
   Genesis|46:15  These [be] the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in
 Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his
 daughters [were] thirty and three.
   Genesis|46:16  And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon,

 Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
   Genesis|46:17  And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and
 Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and
 Malchiel.
   Genesis|46:18  These [are] the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah
 his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, [even] sixteen souls.
   Genesis|46:19  The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
   Genesis|46:20  And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh
 and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare
 unto him.
   Genesis|46:21  And the sons of Benjamin [were] Belah, and Becher, and
 Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
   Genesis|46:22  These [are] the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob:
 all the souls [were] fourteen.
   Genesis|46:23  And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
   Genesis|46:24  And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer,
 and Shillem.
   Genesis|46:25  These [are] the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto
 Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls [were]
 seven.
   Genesis|46:26  All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came

 out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls [were]
 threescore and six;
   Genesis|46:27  And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt,
 [were] two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into
 Egypt, [were] threescore and ten.
   Genesis|46:28  And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his
 face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
   Genesis|46:29  And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet
 Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell
 on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
   Genesis|46:30  And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have
 seen thy face, because thou [art] yet alive.
   Genesis|46:31  And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's
 house, I will go up, and show Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and
 my father's house, which [were] in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
   Genesis|46:32  And the men [are] shepherds, for their trade hath been to
 feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all
 that they have.
   Genesis|46:33  And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you,
 and shall say, What [is] your occupation?
   Genesis|46:34  That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about

 cattle from our youth even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers: that
 ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd [is] an abomination
 unto the Egyptians.
   Genesis|47:1  Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and
 my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are
 come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they [are] in the land of
 Goshen.
   Genesis|47:2  And he took some of his brethren, [even] five men, and
 presented them unto Pharaoh.
   Genesis|47:3  And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What [is] your
 occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants [are] shepherds, both
 we, [and] also our fathers.
   Genesis|47:4  They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land
 are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the
 famine [is] sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let
 thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
   Genesis|47:5  And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy
 brethren are come unto thee:
   Genesis|47:6  The land of Egypt [is] before thee; in the best of the land
 make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them
 dwell: and if thou knowest [any] men of activity among them, then make them

 rulers over my cattle.
   Genesis|47:7  And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before
 Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
   Genesis|47:8  And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old [art] thou?
   Genesis|47:9  And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my
 pilgrimage [are] an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of
 the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years
 of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
   Genesis|47:10  And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before
 Pharaoh.
   Genesis|47:11  And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave
 them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the
 land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
   Genesis|47:12  And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all
 his father's household, with bread, according to [their] families.
   Genesis|47:13  And [there was] no bread in all the land; for the famine
 [was] very sore, so that the land of Egypt and [all] the land of Canaan
 fainted by reason of the famine.
   Genesis|47:14  And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the
 land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought:
 and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

   Genesis|47:15  And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the
 land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us
 bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
   Genesis|47:16  And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for
 your cattle, if money fail.
   Genesis|47:17  And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave
 them bread [in exchange] for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle
 of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their
 cattle for that year.
   Genesis|47:18  When that year was ended, they came unto him the second
 year, and said unto him, We will not hide [it] from my lord, how that our
 money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought
 left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
   Genesis|47:19  Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our
 land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants
 unto Pharaoh: and give [us] seed, that we may live, and not die, that the
 land be not desolate.
   Genesis|47:20  And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for
 the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over
 them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
   Genesis|47:21  And as for the people, he removed them to cities from

 [one] end of the borders of Egypt even to the [other] end thereof.
   Genesis|47:22  Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the
 priests had a portion [assigned them] of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion
 which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
   Genesis|47:23  Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought
 you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, [here is] seed for you, and ye
 shall sow the land.
   Genesis|47:24  And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall
 give the fifth [part] unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for
 seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and
 for food for your little ones.
   Genesis|47:25  And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find
 grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
   Genesis|47:26  And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this
 day, [that] Pharaoh should have the fifth [part]; except the land of the
 priests only, [which] became not Pharaoh's.
   Genesis|47:27  And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of
 Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied
 exceedingly.
   Genesis|47:28  And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so
 the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.

   Genesis|47:29  And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called
 his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight,
 put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with
 me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
   Genesis|47:30  But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me
 out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as
 thou hast said.
   Genesis|47:31  And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And
 Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
   Genesis|48:1  And it came to pass after these things, that [one] told
 Joseph, Behold, thy father [is] sick: and he took with him his two sons,
 Manasseh and Ephraim.
   Genesis|48:2  And [one] told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph
 cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
   Genesis|48:3  And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me
 at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
   Genesis|48:4  And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and
 multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give
 this land to thy seed after thee [for] an everlasting possession.
   Genesis|48:5  And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born
 unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, [are]

 mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
   Genesis|48:6  And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be
 thine, [and] shall be called after the name of their brethren in their
 inheritance.
   Genesis|48:7  And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in
 the land of Canaan in the way, when yet [there was] but a little way to
 come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same
 [is] Bethlehem.
   Genesis|48:8  And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who [are] these?
   Genesis|48:9  And Joseph said unto his father, They [are] my sons, whom
 God hath given me in this [place]. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee,
 unto me, and I will bless them.
   Genesis|48:10  Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, [so that] he
 could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and
 embraced them.
   Genesis|48:11  And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy
 face: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.
   Genesis|48:12  And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he
 bowed himself with his face to the earth.
   Genesis|48:13  And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand
 toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's

 right hand, and brought [them] near unto him.
   Genesis|48:14  And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid [it]
 upon Ephraim's head, who [was] the younger, and his left hand upon
 Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh [was] the
 firstborn.
   Genesis|48:15  And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my
 fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long
 unto this day,
   Genesis|48:16  The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads;
 and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and
 Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
   Genesis|48:17  And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand
 upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's
 hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
   Genesis|48:18  And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for
 this [is] the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
   Genesis|48:19  And his father refused, and said, I know [it], my son, I
 know [it]: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but
 truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall
 become a multitude of nations.
   Genesis|48:20  And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel

 bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim
 before Manasseh.
   Genesis|48:21  And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall
 be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
   Genesis|48:22  Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy
 brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and
 with my bow.
   Genesis|49:1  And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves
 together, that I may tell you [that] which shall befall you in the last
 days.
   Genesis|49:2  Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and
 hearken unto Israel your father.
   Genesis|49:3  Reuben, thou [art] my firstborn, my might, and the
 beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of
 power:
   Genesis|49:4  Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou
 wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my
 couch.
   Genesis|49:5  Simeon and Levi [are] brethren; instruments of cruelty [are
 in] their habitations.
   Genesis|49:6  O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their

 assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a
 man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
   Genesis|49:7  Cursed [be] their anger, for [it was] fierce; and their
 wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in
 Israel.
   Genesis|49:8  Judah, thou [art he] whom thy brethren shall praise: thy
 hand [shall be] in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall
 bow down before thee.
   Genesis|49:9  Judah [is] a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art
 gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who
 shall rouse him up?
   Genesis|49:10  The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver
 from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the
 gathering of the people [be].
   Genesis|49:11  Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto
 the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the
 blood of grapes:
   Genesis|49:12  His eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white
 with milk.
   Genesis|49:13  Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he [shall
 be] for an haven of ships; and his border [shall be] unto Zidon.

   Genesis|49:14  Issachar [is] a strong ass couching down between two
 burdens:
   Genesis|49:15  And he saw that rest [was] good, and the land that [it
 was] pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto
 tribute.
   Genesis|49:16  Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of
 Israel.
   Genesis|49:17  Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path,
 that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
   Genesis|49:18  I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
   Genesis|49:19  Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at
 the last.
   Genesis|49:20  Out of Asher his bread [shall be] fat, and he shall yield
 royal dainties.
   Genesis|49:21  Naphtali [is] a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
   Genesis|49:22  Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a
 well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
   Genesis|49:23  The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him],
 and hated him:
   Genesis|49:24  But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands
 were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from thence

 [is] the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
   Genesis|49:25  [Even] by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and
 by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above,
 blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of
 the womb:
   Genesis|49:26  The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the
 blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills:
 they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him
 that was separate from his brethren.
   Genesis|49:27  Benjamin shall ravin [as] a wolf: in the morning he shall
 devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
   Genesis|49:28  All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel: and this [is
 it] that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one
 according to his blessing he blessed them.
   Genesis|49:29  And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be
 gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that [is] in
 the field of Ephron the Hittite,
   Genesis|49:30  In the cave that [is] in the field of Machpelah, which
 [is] before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the
 field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
   Genesis|49:31  There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they

 buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
   Genesis|49:32  The purchase of the field and of the cave that [is]
 therein [was] from the children of Heth.
   Genesis|49:33  And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he
 gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was
 gathered unto his people.
   Genesis|50:1  And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him,
 and kissed him.
   Genesis|50:2  And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm
 his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
   Genesis|50:3  And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled
 the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him
 threescore and ten days.
   Genesis|50:4  And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake
 unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes,
 speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
   Genesis|50:5  My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave
 which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me.
 Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will
 come again.
   Genesis|50:6  And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as

 he made thee swear.
   Genesis|50:7  And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up
 all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of
 the land of Egypt,
   Genesis|50:8  And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his
 father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds,
 they left in the land of Goshen.
   Genesis|50:9  And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and
 it was a very great company.
   Genesis|50:10  And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which [is]
 beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore
 lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
   Genesis|50:11  And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw
 the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This [is] a grievous mourning
 to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which
 [is] beyond Jordan.
   Genesis|50:12  And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
   Genesis|50:13  For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and
 buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with
 the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before
 Mamre.

   Genesis|50:14  And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and
 all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his
 father.
   Genesis|50:15  And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead,
 they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us
 all the evil which we did unto him.
   Genesis|50:16  And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father
 did command before he died, saying,
   Genesis|50:17  So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the
 trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and
 now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy
 father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
   Genesis|50:18  And his brethren also went and fell down before his face;
 and they said, Behold, we [be] thy servants.
   Genesis|50:19  And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [am] I in the
 place of God?
   Genesis|50:20  But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God
 meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much
 people alive.
   Genesis|50:21  Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your
 little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

   Genesis|50:22  And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and
 Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
   Genesis|50:23  And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third
 [generation]: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought
 up upon Joseph's knees.
   Genesis|50:24  And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will
 surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he
 sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
   Genesis|50:25  And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying,
 God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
   Genesis|50:26  So Joseph died, [being] an hundred and ten years old: and
 they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
   Exodus|1:1  Now these [are] the names of the children of Israel, which
 came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
   Exodus|1:2  Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
   Exodus|1:3  Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
   Exodus|1:4  Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
   Exodus|1:5  And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were
 seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].
   Exodus|1:6  And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that
 generation.

   Exodus|1:7  And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased
 abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was
 filled with them.
   Exodus|1:8  Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not
 Joseph.
   Exodus|1:9  And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the
 children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we:
   Exodus|1:10  Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply,
 and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also
 unto our enemies, and fight against us, and [so] get them up out of the
 land.
   Exodus|1:11  Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them
 with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and
 Raamses.
   Exodus|1:12  But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied
 and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
   Exodus|1:13  And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with
 rigour:
   Exodus|1:14  And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in
 mortar, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their
 service, wherein they made them serve, [was] with rigour.

   Exodus|1:15  And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which
 the name of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
   Exodus|1:16  And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the
 Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son, then ye
 shall kill him: but if it [be] a daughter, then she shall live.
   Exodus|1:17  But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of
 Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
   Exodus|1:18  And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto
 them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
   Exodus|1:19  And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women
 [are] not as the Egyptian women; for they [are] lively, and are delivered
 ere the midwives come in unto them.
   Exodus|1:20  Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people
 multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
   Exodus|1:21  And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that
 he made them houses.
   Exodus|1:22  And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that
 is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save
 alive.
   Exodus|2:1  And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took [to wife]
 a daughter of Levi.

   Exodus|2:2  And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him
 that he [was a] goodly [child], she hid him three months.
   Exodus|2:3  And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an
 ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the
 child therein; and she laid [it] in the flags by the river's brink.
   Exodus|2:4  And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to
 him.
   Exodus|2:5  And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash [herself] at
 the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she
 saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
   Exodus|2:6  And when she had opened [it], she saw the child: and, behold,
 the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This [is one] of
 the Hebrews' children.
   Exodus|2:7  Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and
 call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for
 thee?
   Exodus|2:8  And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and
 called the child's mother.
   Exodus|2:9  And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away,
 and nurse it for me, and I will give [thee] thy wages. And the woman took
 the child, and nursed it.

   Exodus|2:10  And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's
 daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she
 said, Because I drew him out of the water.
   Exodus|2:11  And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown,
 that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he
 spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
   Exodus|2:12  And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that
 [there was] no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
   Exodus|2:13  And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the
 Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore
 smitest thou thy fellow?
   Exodus|2:14  And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us?
 intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared,
 and said, Surely this thing is known.
   Exodus|2:15  Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses.
 But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian:
 and he sat down by a well.
   Exodus|2:16  Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came
 and drew [water], and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
   Exodus|2:17  And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood
 up and helped them, and watered their flock.

   Exodus|2:18  And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How [is
 it that] ye are come so soon to day?
   Exodus|2:19  And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of
 the shepherds, and also drew [water] enough for us, and watered the flock.
   Exodus|2:20  And he said unto his daughters, And where [is] he? why [is]
 it [that] ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
   Exodus|2:21  And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave
 Moses Zipporah his daughter.
   Exodus|2:22  And she bare [him] a son, and he called his name Gershom:
 for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
   Exodus|2:23  And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of
 Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and
 they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
   Exodus|2:24  And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his
 covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
   Exodus|2:25  And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had
 respect unto [them].
   Exodus|3:1  Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the
 priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and
 came to the mountain of God, [even] to Horeb.
   Exodus|3:2  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of

 fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush
 burned with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed.
   Exodus|3:3  And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great
 sight, why the bush is not burnt.
   Exodus|3:4  And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called
 unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said,
 Here [am] I.
   Exodus|3:5  And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off
 thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy ground.
   Exodus|3:6  Moreover he said, I [am] the God of thy father, the God of
 Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face;
 for he was afraid to look upon God.
   Exodus|3:7  And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my
 people which [are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their
 taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
   Exodus|3:8  And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the
 Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a
 large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the
 Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
 Hivites, and the Jebusites.
   Exodus|3:9  Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is

 come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians
 oppress them.
   Exodus|3:10  Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that
 thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
   Exodus|3:11  And Moses said unto God, Who [am] I, that I should go unto
 Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
   Exodus|3:12  And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall
 be] a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth
 the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
   Exodus|3:13  And Moses said unto God, Behold, [when] I come unto the
 children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath
 sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What [is] his name? what shall
 I say unto them?
   Exodus|3:14  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus
 shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
   Exodus|3:15  And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto
 the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
 the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this [is] my
 name for ever, and this [is] my memorial unto all generations.
   Exodus|3:16  Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto
 them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of

 Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and [seen] that
 which is done to you in Egypt:
   Exodus|3:17  And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction
 of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the
 Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a
 land flowing with milk and honey.
   Exodus|3:18  And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come,
 thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say
 unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go,
 we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may
 sacrifice to the LORD our God.
   Exodus|3:19  And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go,
 no, not by a mighty hand.
   Exodus|3:20  And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my
 wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let
 you go.
   Exodus|3:21  And I will give this people favour in the sight of the
 Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go
 empty:
   Exodus|3:22  But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her
 that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and

 raiment: and ye shall put [them] upon your sons, and upon your daughters;
 and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
   Exodus|4:1  And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not
 believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not
 appeared unto thee.
   Exodus|4:2  And the LORD said unto him, What [is] that in thine hand? And
 he said, A rod.
   Exodus|4:3  And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the
 ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
   Exodus|4:4  And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take
 it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a
 rod in his hand:
   Exodus|4:5  That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the
 God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto
 thee.
   Exodus|4:6  And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand
 into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it
 out, behold, his hand [was] leprous as snow.
   Exodus|4:7  And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put
 his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and,
 behold, it was turned again as his [other] flesh.

   Exodus|4:8  And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee,
 neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the
 voice of the latter sign.
   Exodus|4:9  And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also
 these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of
 the water of the river, and pour [it] upon the dry [land]: and the water
 which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].
   Exodus|4:10  And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not
 eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant:
 but I [am] slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
   Exodus|4:11  And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or
 who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the
 LORD?
   Exodus|4:12  Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach
 thee what thou shalt say.
   Exodus|4:13  And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand [of
 him whom] thou wilt send.
   Exodus|4:14  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he
 said, [Is] not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well.
 And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he
 will be glad in his heart.

   Exodus|4:15  And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth:
 and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what
 ye shall do.
   Exodus|4:16  And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall
 be, [even] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him
 instead of God.
   Exodus|4:17  And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou
 shalt do signs.
   Exodus|4:18  And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and
 said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which
 [are] in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to
 Moses, Go in peace.
   Exodus|4:19  And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into
 Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
   Exodus|4:20  And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an
 ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in
 his hand.
   Exodus|4:21  And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into
 Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put
 in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the
 people go.

   Exodus|4:22  And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel
 [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:
   Exodus|4:23  And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me:
 and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, [even] thy
 firstborn.
   Exodus|4:24  And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met
 him, and sought to kill him.
   Exodus|4:25  Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin
 of her son, and cast [it] at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband
 [art] thou to me.
   Exodus|4:26  So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband [thou
 art], because of the circumcision.
   Exodus|4:27  And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet
 Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
   Exodus|4:28  And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent
 him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
   Exodus|4:29  And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the
 elders of the children of Israel:
   Exodus|4:30  And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto
 Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
   Exodus|4:31  And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD

 had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their
 affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
   Exodus|5:1  And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus
 saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast
 unto me in the wilderness.
   Exodus|5:2  And Pharaoh said, Who [is] the LORD, that I should obey his
 voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
   Exodus|5:3  And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let
 us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice
 unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the
 sword.
   Exodus|5:4  And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses
 and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
   Exodus|5:5  And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now [are]
 many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
   Exodus|5:6  And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the
 people, and their officers, saying,
   Exodus|5:7  Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as
 heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
   Exodus|5:8  And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore,
 ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish [ought] thereof: for they

 [be] idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go [and] sacrifice to our
 God.
   Exodus|5:9  Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may
 labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
   Exodus|5:10  And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their
 officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will
 not give you straw.
   Exodus|5:11  Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of
 your work shall be diminished.
   Exodus|5:12  So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land
 of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
   Exodus|5:13  And the taskmasters hasted [them], saying, Fulfil your
 works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.
   Exodus|5:14  And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's
 taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, [and] demanded, Wherefore have
 ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as
 heretofore?
   Exodus|5:15  Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried
 unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
   Exodus|5:16  There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to
 us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants [are] beaten; but the fault [is]

 in thine own people.
   Exodus|5:17  But he said, Ye [are] idle, [ye are] idle: therefore ye say,
 Let us go [and] do sacrifice to the LORD.
   Exodus|5:18  Go therefore now, [and] work; for there shall no straw be
 given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
   Exodus|5:19  And the officers of the children of Israel did see [that]
 they [were] in evil [case], after it was said, Ye shall not minish [ought]
 from your bricks of your daily task.
   Exodus|5:20  And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they
 came forth from Pharaoh:
   Exodus|5:21  And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge;
 because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and
 in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
   Exodus|5:22  And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore
 hast thou [so] evil entreated this people? why [is] it [that] thou hast
 sent me?
   Exodus|5:23  For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath
 done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
   Exodus|6:1  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will
 do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a
 strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

   Exodus|6:2  And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I [am] the LORD:
   Exodus|6:3  And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by
 [the name of] God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
   Exodus|6:4  And I have also established my covenant with them, to give
 them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were
 strangers.
   Exodus|6:5  And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel,
 whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
   Exodus|6:6  Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I [am] the LORD,
 and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I
 will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched
 out arm, and with great judgments:
   Exodus|6:7  And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you
 a God: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God, which bringeth you
 out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
   Exodus|6:8  And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I
 did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it
 you for an heritage: I [am] the LORD.
   Exodus|6:9  And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they
 hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
   Exodus|6:10  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

   Exodus|6:11  Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the
 children of Israel go out of his land.
   Exodus|6:12  And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the
 children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear
 me, who [am] of uncircumcised lips?
   Exodus|6:13  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them
 a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to
 bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|6:14  These [be] the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of
 Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these
 [be] the families of Reuben.
   Exodus|6:15  And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and
 Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these [are]
 the families of Simeon.
   Exodus|6:16  And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi according to
 their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the
 life of Levi [were] an hundred thirty and seven years.
   Exodus|6:17  The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their
 families.
   Exodus|6:18  And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and
 Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath [were] an hundred thirty and

 three years.
   Exodus|6:19  And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these [are] the
 families of Levi according to their generations.
   Exodus|6:20  And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and
 she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram [were] an
 hundred and thirty and seven years.
   Exodus|6:21  And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
   Exodus|6:22  And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
   Exodus|6:23  And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister
 of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and
 Ithamar.
   Exodus|6:24  And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph:
 these [are] the families of the Korhites.
   Exodus|6:25  And Eleazar Aaron's son took him [one] of the daughters of
 Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these [are] the heads of the
 fathers of the Levites according to their families.
   Exodus|6:26  These [are] that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said,
 Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their
 armies.
   Exodus|6:27  These [are] they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to
 bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these [are] that Moses and

 Aaron.
   Exodus|6:28  And it came to pass on the day [when] the LORD spake unto
 Moses in the land of Egypt,
   Exodus|6:29  That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I [am] the LORD:
 speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
   Exodus|6:30  And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I [am] of
 uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
   Exodus|7:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to
 Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
   Exodus|7:2  Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy
 brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out
 of his land.
   Exodus|7:3  And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and
 my wonders in the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|7:4  But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my
 hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, [and] my people the children
 of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
   Exodus|7:5  And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I
 stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel
 from among them.
   Exodus|7:6  And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did

 they.
   Exodus|7:7  And Moses [was] fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and
 three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
   Exodus|7:8  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   Exodus|7:9  When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Show a miracle for
 you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast [it] before
 Pharaoh, [and] it shall become a serpent.
   Exodus|7:10  And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as
 the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and
 before his servants, and it became a serpent.
   Exodus|7:11  Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now
 the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their
 enchantments.
   Exodus|7:12  For they cast down every man his rod, and they became
 serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
   Exodus|7:13  And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto
 them; as the LORD had said.
   Exodus|7:14  And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart [is] hardened,
 he refuseth to let the people go.
   Exodus|7:15  Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto
 the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and

 the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
   Exodus|7:16  And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews
 hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in
 the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
   Exodus|7:17  Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I [am] the
 LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that [is] in mine hand upon the
 waters which [are] in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
   Exodus|7:18  And the fish that [is] in the river shall die, and the river
 shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the
 river.
   Exodus|7:19  And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod,
 and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams,
 upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water,
 that they may become blood; and [that] there may be blood throughout all
 the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [vessels of] stone.
   Exodus|7:20  And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he
 lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that [were] in the river, in the
 sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that
 [were] in the river were turned to blood.
   Exodus|7:21  And the fish that [was] in the river died; and the river
 stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and

 there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|7:22  And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments:
 and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the
 LORD had said.
   Exodus|7:23  And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he
 set his heart to this also.
   Exodus|7:24  And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water
 to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
   Exodus|7:25  And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had
 smitten the river.
   Exodus|8:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto
 him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
   Exodus|8:2  And if thou refuse to let [them] go, behold, I will smite all
 thy borders with frogs:
   Exodus|8:3  And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall
 go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed,
 and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine
 ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
   Exodus|8:4  And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy
 people, and upon all thy servants.
   Exodus|8:5  And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth

 thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the
 ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|8:6  And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt;
 and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|8:7  And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought
 up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|8:8  Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat
 the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and
 I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
   Exodus|8:9  And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I
 entreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the
 frogs from thee and thy houses, [that] they may remain in the river only?
   Exodus|8:10  And he said, To morrow. And he said, [Be it] according to
 thy word: that thou mayest know that [there is] none like unto the LORD our
 God.
   Exodus|8:11  And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses,
 and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river
 only.
   Exodus|8:12  And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried
 unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
   Exodus|8:13  And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the

 frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
   Exodus|8:14  And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land
 stank.
   Exodus|8:15  But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his
 heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
   Exodus|8:16  And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out
 thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout
 all the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|8:17  And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his
 rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in
 beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of
 Egypt.
   Exodus|8:18  And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring
 forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon
 beast.
   Exodus|8:19  Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This [is] the finger
 of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them;
 as the LORD had said.
   Exodus|8:20  And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
 and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto
 him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.

   Exodus|8:21  Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send
 swarms [of flies] upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people,
 and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of
 swarms [of flies], and also the ground whereon they [are].
   Exodus|8:22  And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my
 people dwell, that no swarms [of flies] shall be there; to the end thou
 mayest know that I [am] the LORD in the midst of the earth.
   Exodus|8:23  And I will put a division between my people and thy people:
 to morrow shall this sign be.
   Exodus|8:24  And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm [of
 flies] into the house of Pharaoh, and [into] his servants' houses, and into
 all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm [of
 flies].
   Exodus|8:25  And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye,
 sacrifice to your God in the land.
   Exodus|8:26  And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall
 sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall
 we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will
 they not stone us?
   Exodus|8:27  We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and
 sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.

   Exodus|8:28  And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice
 to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away:
 entreat for me.
   Exodus|8:29  And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will
 entreat the LORD that the swarms [of flies] may depart from Pharaoh, from
 his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal
 deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
   Exodus|8:30  And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
   Exodus|8:31  And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he
 removed the swarms [of flies] from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his
 people; there remained not one.
   Exodus|8:32  And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither
 would he let the people go.
   Exodus|9:1  Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell
 him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they
 may serve me.
   Exodus|9:2  For if thou refuse to let [them] go, and wilt hold them
 still,
   Exodus|9:3  Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which [is] in
 the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen,
 and upon the sheep: [there shall be] a very grievous murrain.

   Exodus|9:4  And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the
 cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all [that is] the
 children's of Israel.
   Exodus|9:5  And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD
 shall do this thing in the land.
   Exodus|9:6  And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle
 of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
   Exodus|9:7  And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the
 cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and
 he did not let the people go.
   Exodus|9:8  And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you
 handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the
 heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
   Exodus|9:9  And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and
 shall be a boil breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast,
 throughout all the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|9:10  And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before
 Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil
 breaking forth [with] blains upon man, and upon beast.
   Exodus|9:11  And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of
 the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.

   Exodus|9:12  And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened
 not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
   Exodus|9:13  And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning,
 and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the
 Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
   Exodus|9:14  For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine
 heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know
 that [there is] none like me in all the earth.
   Exodus|9:15  For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee
 and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
   Exodus|9:16  And in very deed for this [cause] have I raised thee up, for
 to show [in] thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all
 the earth.
   Exodus|9:17  As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou
 wilt not let them go?
   Exodus|9:18  Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a
 very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation
 thereof even until now.
   Exodus|9:19  Send therefore now, [and] gather thy cattle, and all that
 thou hast in the field; [for upon] every man and beast which shall be found
 in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon

 them, and they shall die.
   Exodus|9:20  He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of
 Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
   Exodus|9:21  And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his
 servants and his cattle in the field.
   Exodus|9:22  And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand
 toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man,
 and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of
 Egypt.
   Exodus|9:23  And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the
 LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the
 LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|9:24  So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very
 grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it
 became a nation.
   Exodus|9:25  And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that
 [was] in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of
 the field, and brake every tree of the field.
   Exodus|9:26  Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel
 [were], was there no hail.
   Exodus|9:27  And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said

 unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD [is] righteous, and I and my
 people [are] wicked.
   Exodus|9:28  Entreat the LORD (for [it is] enough) that there be no
 [more] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall
 stay no longer.
   Exodus|9:29  And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the
 city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; [and] the thunder shall
 cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that
 the earth [is] the LORD's.
   Exodus|9:30  But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not
 yet fear the LORD God.
   Exodus|9:31  And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley
 [was] in the ear, and the flax [was] bolled.
   Exodus|9:32  But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they [were]
 not grown up.
   Exodus|9:33  And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread
 abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the
 rain was not poured upon the earth.
   Exodus|9:34  And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the
 thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and
 his servants.

   Exodus|9:35  And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let
 the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
   Exodus|10:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have
 hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show these
 my signs before him:
   Exodus|10:2  And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy
 son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have
 done among them; that ye may know how that I [am] the LORD.
   Exodus|10:3  And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him,
 Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble
 thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
   Exodus|10:4  Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow
 will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
   Exodus|10:5  And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot
 be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is
 escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree
 which groweth for you out of the field:
   Exodus|10:6  And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy
 servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers,
 nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the
 earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.

   Exodus|10:7  And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this
 man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their
 God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
   Exodus|10:8  And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he
 said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: [but] who [are] they that
 shall go?
   Exodus|10:9  And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old,
 with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds
 will we go; for we [must hold] a feast unto the LORD.
   Exodus|10:10  And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I
 will let you go, and your little ones: look [to it]; for evil [is] before
 you.
   Exodus|10:11  Not so: go now ye [that are] men, and serve the LORD; for
 that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
   Exodus|10:12  And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over
 the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of
 Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, [even] all that the hail hath left.
   Exodus|10:13  And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt,
 and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all
 [that] night; [and] when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
   Exodus|10:14  And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and

 rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous [were they]; before them
 there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
   Exodus|10:15  For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the
 land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the
 fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any
 green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the
 land of Egypt.
   Exodus|10:16  Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he
 said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
   Exodus|10:17  Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once,
 and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death
 only.
   Exodus|10:18  And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
   Exodus|10:19  And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took
 away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one
 locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
   Exodus|10:20  But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not
 let the children of Israel go.
   Exodus|10:21  And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward
 heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness
 [which] may be felt.

   Exodus|10:22  And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there
 was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
   Exodus|10:23  They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place
 for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their
 dwellings.
   Exodus|10:24  And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the
 LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones
 also go with you.
   Exodus|10:25  And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt
 offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
   Exodus|10:26  Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof
 be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we
 know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
   Exodus|10:27  But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let
 them go.
   Exodus|10:28  And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to
 thyself, see my face no more; for in [that] day thou seest my face thou
 shalt die.
   Exodus|10:29  And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face
 again no more.
   Exodus|11:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague

 [more] upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence:
 when he shall let [you] go, he shall surely thrust you out hence
 altogether.
   Exodus|11:2  Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man
 borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of
 silver, and jewels of gold.
   Exodus|11:3  And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the
 Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses [was] very great in the land of Egypt, in
 the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
   Exodus|11:4  And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I
 go out into the midst of Egypt:
   Exodus|11:5  And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from
 the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the
 firstborn of the maidservant that [is] behind the mill; and all the
 firstborn of beasts.
   Exodus|11:6  And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of
 Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
   Exodus|11:7  But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog
 move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD
 doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
   Exodus|11:8  And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow

 down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that
 follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in
 a great anger.
   Exodus|11:9  And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto
 you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|11:10  And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh:
 and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the
 children of Israel go out of his land.
   Exodus|12:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of
 Egypt, saying,
   Exodus|12:2  This month [shall be] unto you the beginning of months: it
 [shall be] the first month of the year to you.
   Exodus|12:3  Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the
 tenth [day] of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb,
 according to the house of [their] fathers, a lamb for an house:
   Exodus|12:4  And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and
 his neighbour next unto his house take [it] according to the number of the
 souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the
 lamb.
   Exodus|12:5  Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first
 year: ye shall take [it] out from the sheep, or from the goats:

   Exodus|12:6  And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same
 month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it
 in the evening.
   Exodus|12:7  And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on the two
 side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat
 it.
   Exodus|12:8  And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire,
 and unleavened bread; [and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it.
   Exodus|12:9  Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast
 [with] fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
   Exodus|12:10  And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning;
 and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
   Exodus|12:11  And thus shall ye eat it; [with] your loins girded, your
 shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in
 haste: it [is] the LORD'S passover.
   Exodus|12:12  For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and
 will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and
 against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I [am] the LORD.
   Exodus|12:13  And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses
 where ye [are]: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the
 plague shall not be upon you to destroy [you], when I smite the land of

 Egypt.
   Exodus|12:14  And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall
 keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a
 feast by an ordinance for ever.
   Exodus|12:15  Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first
 day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth
 leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be
 cut off from Israel.
   Exodus|12:16  And in the first day [there shall be] an holy convocation,
 and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner
 of work shall be done in them, save [that] which every man must eat, that
 only may be done of you.
   Exodus|12:17  And ye shall observe [the feast of] unleavened bread; for
 in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt:
 therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for
 ever.
   Exodus|12:18  In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month at
 even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the
 month at even.
   Exodus|12:19  Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses:
 for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut

 off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in
 the land.
   Exodus|12:20  Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations
 shall ye eat unleavened bread.
   Exodus|12:21  Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said
 unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and
 kill the passover.
   Exodus|12:22  And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip [it] in the
 blood that [is] in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts
 with the blood that [is] in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the
 door of his house until the morning.
   Exodus|12:23  For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and
 when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the
 LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in
 unto your houses to smite [you].
   Exodus|12:24  And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee
 and to thy sons for ever.
   Exodus|12:25  And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land
 which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall
 keep this service.
   Exodus|12:26  And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say

 unto you, What mean ye by this service?
   Exodus|12:27  That ye shall say, It [is] the sacrifice of the LORD'S
 passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt,
 when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed
 the head and worshipped.
   Exodus|12:28  And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD
 had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
   Exodus|12:29  And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all
 the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat
 on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that [was] in the dungeon;
 and all the firstborn of cattle.
   Exodus|12:30  And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants,
 and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for [there was]
 not a house where [there was] not one dead.
   Exodus|12:31  And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise
 up, [and] get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of
 Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
   Exodus|12:32  Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and
 be gone; and bless me also.
   Exodus|12:33  And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they
 might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We [be] all dead

 [men].
   Exodus|12:34  And the people took their dough before it was leavened,
 their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
   Exodus|12:35  And the children of Israel did according to the word of
 Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of
 gold, and raiment:
   Exodus|12:36  And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the
 Egyptians, so that they lent unto them [such things as they required]. And
 they spoiled the Egyptians.
   Exodus|12:37  And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to
 Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot [that were] men, beside
 children.
   Exodus|12:38  And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks,
 and herds, [even] very much cattle.
   Exodus|12:39  And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they
 brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were
 thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for
 themselves any victual.
   Exodus|12:40  Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in
 Egypt, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
   Exodus|12:41  And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and

 thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of
 the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|12:42  It [is] a night to be much observed unto the LORD for
 bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this [is] that night of the LORD
 to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
   Exodus|12:43  And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This [is] the
 ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
   Exodus|12:44  But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou
 hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
   Exodus|12:45  A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
   Exodus|12:46  In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth
 ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone
 thereof.
   Exodus|12:47  All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
   Exodus|12:48  And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep
 the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let
 him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land:
 for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
   Exodus|12:49  One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the
 stranger that sojourneth among you.
   Exodus|12:50  Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded

 Moses and Aaron, so did they.
   Exodus|12:51  And it came to pass the selfsame day, [that] the LORD did
 bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
   Exodus|13:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Exodus|13:2  Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the
 womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and of beast: it [is]
 mine.
   Exodus|13:3  And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which
 ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of
 hand the LORD brought you out from this [place]: there shall no leavened
 bread be eaten.
   Exodus|13:4  This day came ye out in the month Abib.
   Exodus|13:5  And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land
 of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and
 the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing
 with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
   Exodus|13:6  Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the
 seventh day [shall be] a feast to the LORD.
   Exodus|13:7  Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall
 no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen
 with thee in all thy quarters.

   Exodus|13:8  And thou shalt show thy son in that day, saying, [This is
 done] because of that [which] the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of
 Egypt.
   Exodus|13:9  And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and
 for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth:
 for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
   Exodus|13:10  Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from
 year to year.
   Exodus|13:11  And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the
 land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall
 give it thee,
   Exodus|13:12  That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth
 the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the
 males [shall be] the LORD'S.
   Exodus|13:13  And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a
 lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and
 all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
   Exodus|13:14  And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come,
 saying, What [is] this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand
 the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
   Exodus|13:15  And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go,

 that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the
 firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the
 LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my
 children I redeem.
   Exodus|13:16  And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for
 frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us
 forth out of Egypt.
   Exodus|13:17  And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go,
 that God led them not [through] the way of the land of the Philistines,
 although that [was] near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent
 when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
   Exodus|13:18  But God led the people about, [through] the way of the
 wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out
 of the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|13:19  And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had
 straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you;
 and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
   Exodus|13:20  And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in
 Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
   Exodus|13:21  And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a
 cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them

 light; to go by day and night:
   Exodus|13:22  He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the
 pillar of fire by night, [from] before the people.
   Exodus|14:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Exodus|14:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp
 before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon:
 before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
   Exodus|14:3  For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They [are]
 entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
   Exodus|14:4  And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow
 after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host;
 that the Egyptians may know that I [am] the LORD. And they did so.
   Exodus|14:5  And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and
 the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and
 they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving
 us?
   Exodus|14:6  And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
   Exodus|14:7  And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the
 chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
   Exodus|14:8  And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt,
 and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel

 went out with an high hand.
   Exodus|14:9  But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses [and]
 chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them
 encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
   Exodus|14:10  And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted
 up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were
 sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
   Exodus|14:11  And they said unto Moses, Because [there were] no graves in
 Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast
 thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
   Exodus|14:12  [Is] not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt,
 saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For [it had been]
 better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the
 wilderness.
   Exodus|14:13  And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still,
 and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day: for
 the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for
 ever.
   Exodus|14:14  The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
   Exodus|14:15  And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto
 me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

   Exodus|14:16  But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over
 the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground]
 through the midst of the sea.
   Exodus|14:17  And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians,
 and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon
 all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
   Exodus|14:18  And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I
 have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his
 horsemen.
   Exodus|14:19  And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel,
 removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before
 their face, and stood behind them:
   Exodus|14:20  And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp
 of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness [to them], but it gave light by
 night [to these]: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
   Exodus|14:21  And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD
 caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made
 the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.
   Exodus|14:22  And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea
 upon the dry [ground]: and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their
 right hand, and on their left.

   Exodus|14:23  And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the
 midst of the sea, [even] all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his
 horsemen.
   Exodus|14:24  And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD
 looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the
 cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
   Exodus|14:25  And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them
 heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel;
 for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
   Exodus|14:26  And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over
 the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their
 chariots, and upon their horsemen.
   Exodus|14:27  And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the
 sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians
 fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the
 sea.
   Exodus|14:28  And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the
 horsemen, [and] all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them;
 there remained not so much as one of them.
   Exodus|14:29  But the children of Israel walked upon dry [land] in the
 midst of the sea; and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right

 hand, and on their left.
   Exodus|14:30  Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the
 Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
   Exodus|14:31  And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the
 Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his
 servant Moses.
   Exodus|15:1  Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto
 the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath
 triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
   Exodus|15:2  The LORD [is] my strength and song, and he is become my
 salvation: he [is] my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my
 father's God, and I will exalt him.
   Exodus|15:3  The LORD [is] a man of war: the LORD [is] his name.
   Exodus|15:4  Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea:
 his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
   Exodus|15:5  The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a
 stone.
   Exodus|15:6  Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy
 right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
   Exodus|15:7  And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast
 overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath,

 [which] consumed them as stubble.
   Exodus|15:8  And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered
 together, the floods stood upright as an heap, [and] the depths were
 congealed in the heart of the sea.
   Exodus|15:9  The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will
 divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my
 sword, my hand shall destroy them.
   Exodus|15:10  Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they
 sank as lead in the mighty waters.
   Exodus|15:11  Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is]
 like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?
   Exodus|15:12  Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed
 them.
   Exodus|15:13  Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people [which] thou
 hast redeemed: thou hast guided [them] in thy strength unto thy holy
 habitation.
   Exodus|15:14  The people shall hear, [and] be afraid: sorrow shall take
 hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
   Exodus|15:15  Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of
 Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan
 shall melt away.

   Exodus|15:16  Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of
 thine arm they shall be [as] still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O
 LORD, till the people pass over, [which] thou hast purchased.
   Exodus|15:17  Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of
 thine inheritance, [in] the place, O LORD, [which] thou hast made for thee
 to dwell in, [in] the Sanctuary, O Lord, [which] thy hands have
 established.
   Exodus|15:18  The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
   Exodus|15:19  For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with
 his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea
 upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry [land] in the midst of
 the sea.
   Exodus|15:20  And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a
 timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and
 with dances.
   Exodus|15:21  And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath
 triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
   Exodus|15:22  So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out
 into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness,
 and found no water.
   Exodus|15:23  And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the

 waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter: therefore the name of it was
 called Marah.
   Exodus|15:24  And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall
 we drink?
   Exodus|15:25  And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD showed him a tree,
 [which] when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there
 he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
   Exodus|15:26  And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of
 the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt
 give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of
 these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I
 [am] the LORD that healeth thee.
   Exodus|15:27  And they came to Elim, where [were] twelve wells of water,
 and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
   Exodus|16:1  And they took their journey from Elim, and all the
 congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin,
 which [is] between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month
 after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|16:2  And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
 murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
   Exodus|16:3  And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we

 had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the
 flesh pots, [and] when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us
 forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
   Exodus|16:4  Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread
 from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate
 every day, that I may prove them, whether they  will walk in my law, or no.
   Exodus|16:5  And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall
 prepare [that] which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they
 gather daily.
   Exodus|16:6  And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At
 even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land
 of Egypt:
   Exodus|16:7  And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD;
 for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what [are] we,
 that ye murmur against us?
   Exodus|16:8  And Moses said, [This shall be], when the LORD shall give
 you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for
 that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what
 [are] we? your murmurings [are] not against us, but against the LORD.
   Exodus|16:9  And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of
 the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your

 murmurings.
   Exodus|16:10  And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole
 congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the
 wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
   Exodus|16:11  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Exodus|16:12  I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel:
 speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye
 shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your
 God.
   Exodus|16:13  And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and
 covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
   Exodus|16:14  And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the
 face of the wilderness [there lay] a small round thing, [as] small as the
 hoar frost on the ground.
   Exodus|16:15  And when the children of Israel saw [it], they said one to
 another, It [is] manna: for they wist not what it [was]. And Moses said
 unto them, This [is] the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
   Exodus|16:16  This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather
 of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, [according
 to] the number of your persons; take ye every man for [them] which [are] in
 his tents.

   Exodus|16:17  And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more,
 some less.
   Exodus|16:18  And when they did mete [it] with an omer, he that gathered
 much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they
 gathered every man according to his eating.
   Exodus|16:19  And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
   Exodus|16:20  Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of
 them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses
 was wroth with them.
   Exodus|16:21  And they gathered it every morning, every man according to
 his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
   Exodus|16:22  And it came to pass, [that] on the sixth day they gathered
 twice as much bread, two omers for one [man]: and all the rulers of the
 congregation came and told Moses.
   Exodus|16:23  And he said unto them, This [is that] which the LORD hath
 said, To morrow [is] the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake
 [that] which ye will bake [to day], and seethe that ye will seethe; and
 that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
   Exodus|16:24  And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it
 did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
   Exodus|16:25  And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day [is] a sabbath

 unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
   Exodus|16:26  Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, [which
 is] the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
   Exodus|16:27  And it came to pass, [that] there went out [some] of the
 people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
   Exodus|16:28  And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
 commandments and my laws?
   Exodus|16:29  See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath,
 therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye
 every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
   Exodus|16:30  So the people rested on the seventh day.
   Exodus|16:31  And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and
 it [was] like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it [was] like wafers
 [made] with honey.
   Exodus|16:32  And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD
 commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they
 may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I
 brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|16:33  And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full
 of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your
 generations.

   Exodus|16:34  As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the
 Testimony, to be kept.
   Exodus|16:35  And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until
 they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the
 borders of the land of Canaan.
   Exodus|16:36  Now an omer [is] the tenth [part] of an ephah.
   Exodus|17:1  And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed
 from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the
 commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and [there was] no water
 for the people to drink.
   Exodus|17:2  Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us
 water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me?
 wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
   Exodus|17:3  And the people thirsted there for water; and the people
 murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore [is] this [that] thou hast
 brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with
 thirst?
   Exodus|17:4  And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto
 this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
   Exodus|17:5  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and
 take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest

 the river, take in thine hand, and go.
   Exodus|17:6  Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in
 Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it,
 that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of
 Israel.
   Exodus|17:7  And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah,
 because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted
 the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
   Exodus|17:8  Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
   Exodus|17:9  And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out,
 fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the
 rod of God in mine hand.
   Exodus|17:10  So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with
 Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
   Exodus|17:11  And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that
 Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
   Exodus|17:12  But Moses' hands [were] heavy; and they took a stone, and
 put [it] under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his
 hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his
 hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
   Exodus|17:13  And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge

 of the sword.
   Exodus|17:14  And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this [for] a memorial
 in a book, and rehearse [it] in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put
 out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
   Exodus|17:15  And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
 Jehovahnissi:
   Exodus|17:16  For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn [that] the LORD
 [will have] war with Amalek from generation to generation.
   Exodus|18:1  When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law,
 heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, [and]
 that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
   Exodus|18:2  Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses'
 wife, after he had sent her back,
   Exodus|18:3  And her two sons; of which the name of the one [was]
 Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
   Exodus|18:4  And the name of the other [was] Eliezer; for the God of my
 father, [said he, was] mine help, and delivered me from the sword of
 Pharaoh:
   Exodus|18:5  And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his
 wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
   Exodus|18:6  And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come

 unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
   Exodus|18:7  And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did
 obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of [their] welfare;
 and they came into the tent.
   Exodus|18:8  And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done
 unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, [and] all the travail
 that had come upon them by the way, and [how] the LORD delivered them.
   Exodus|18:9  And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had
 done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
   Exodus|18:10  And Jethro said, Blessed [be] the LORD, who hath delivered
 you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who
 hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
   Exodus|18:11  Now I know that the LORD [is] greater than all gods: for in
 the thing wherein they dealt proudly [he was] above them.
   Exodus|18:12  And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and
 sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat
 bread with Moses' father in law before God.
   Exodus|18:13  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge
 the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the
 evening.
   Exodus|18:14  And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the

 people, he said, What [is] this thing that thou doest to the people? why
 sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning
 unto even?
   Exodus|18:15  And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people
 come unto me to inquire of God:
   Exodus|18:16  When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge
 between one and another, and I do make [them] know the statutes of God, and
 his laws.
   Exodus|18:17  And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou
 doest [is] not good.
   Exodus|18:18  Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that
 [is] with thee: for this thing [is] too heavy for thee; thou art not able
 to perform it thyself alone.
   Exodus|18:19  Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and
 God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou
 mayest bring the causes unto God:
   Exodus|18:20  And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt
 show them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
   Exodus|18:21  Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men,
 such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place [such] over
 them, [to be] rulers of thousands, [and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of

 fifties, and rulers of tens:
   Exodus|18:22  And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall
 be, [that] every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small
 matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall
 bear [the burden] with thee.
   Exodus|18:23  If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee [so],
 then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to
 their place in peace.
   Exodus|18:24  So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and
 did all that he had said.
   Exodus|18:25  And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them
 heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of
 fifties, and rulers of tens.
   Exodus|18:26  And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes
 they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
   Exodus|18:27  And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way
 into his own land.
   Exodus|19:1  In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone
 forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they [into] the
 wilderness of Sinai.
   Exodus|19:2  For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come [to] the

 desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped
 before the mount.
   Exodus|19:3  And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out
 of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and
 tell the children of Israel;
   Exodus|19:4  Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare
 you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
   Exodus|19:5  Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my
 covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people:
 for all the earth [is] mine:
   Exodus|19:6  And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy
 nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of
 Israel.
   Exodus|19:7  And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and
 laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
   Exodus|19:8  And all the people answered together, and said, All that the
 LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people
 unto the LORD.
   Exodus|19:9  And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a
 thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe
 thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

   Exodus|19:10  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and
 sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
   Exodus|19:11  And be ready against the third day: for the third day the
 LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
   Exodus|19:12  And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about,
 saying, Take heed to yourselves, [that ye] go [not] up into the mount, or
 touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to
 death:
   Exodus|19:13  There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be
 stoned, or shot through; whether [it be] beast or man, it shall not live:
 when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
   Exodus|19:14  And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and
 sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
   Exodus|19:15  And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third
 day: come not at [your] wives.
   Exodus|19:16  And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that
 there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and
 the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was]
 in the camp trembled.
   Exodus|19:17  And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet
 with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

   Exodus|19:18  And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD
 descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a
 furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
   Exodus|19:19  And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed
 louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
   Exodus|19:20  And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the
 mount: and the LORD called Moses [up] to the top of the mount; and Moses
 went up.
   Exodus|19:21  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people,
 lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
   Exodus|19:22  And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD,
 sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
   Exodus|19:23  And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to
 mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and
 sanctify it.
   Exodus|19:24  And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou
 shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the
 people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon
 them.
   Exodus|19:25  So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
   Exodus|20:1  And God spake all these words, saying,

   Exodus|20:2  I [am] the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the
 land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
   Exodus|20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
   Exodus|20:4  Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any
 likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the
 earth beneath, or that [is] in the water under the earth:
   Exodus|20:5  Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for
 I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers
 upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate
 me;
   Exodus|20:6  And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and
 keep my commandments.
   Exodus|20:7  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain;
 for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
   Exodus|20:8  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
   Exodus|20:9  Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
   Exodus|20:10  But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy God:
 [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter,
 thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that
 [is] within thy gates:
   Exodus|20:11  For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea,

 and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
 blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

   Exodus|20:18  And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings,
 and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people
 saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.
   Exodus|20:19  And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will
 hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
   Exodus|20:20  And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come
 to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
   Exodus|20:21  And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the
 thick darkness where God [was].
   Exodus|20:22  And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the

 children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
   Exodus|20:23  Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye
 make unto you gods of gold.
   Exodus|20:24  An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt
 sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep,
 and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee,
 and I will bless thee.
   Exodus|20:25  And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not
 build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast
 polluted it.
   Exodus|20:26  Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy
 nakedness be not discovered thereon.
   Exodus|21:1  Now these [are] the judgments which thou shalt set before
 them.
   Exodus|21:2  If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and
 in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
   Exodus|21:3  If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he
 were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
   Exodus|21:4  If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him
 sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he
 shall go out by himself.

   Exodus|21:5  And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my
 wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
   Exodus|21:6  Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall
 also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall
 bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.
   Exodus|21:7  And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she
 shall not go out as the menservants do.
   Exodus|21:8  If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to
 himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange
 nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
   Exodus|21:9  And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal
 with her after the manner of daughters.
   Exodus|21:10  If he take him another [wife]; her food, her raiment, and
 her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
   Exodus|21:11  And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go
 out free without money.
   Exodus|21:12  He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put
 to death.
   Exodus|21:13  And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver [him] into
 his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
   Exodus|21:14  But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to

 slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
   Exodus|21:15  And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be
 surely put to death.
   Exodus|21:16  And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be
 found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
   Exodus|21:17  And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely
 be put to death.
   Exodus|21:18  And if men strive together, and one smite another with a
 stone, or with [his] fist, and he die not, but keepeth [his] bed:
   Exodus|21:19  If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then
 shall he that smote [him] be quit: only he shall pay [for] the loss of his
 time, and shall cause [him] to be thoroughly healed.
   Exodus|21:20  And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod,
 and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
   Exodus|21:21  Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not
 be punished: for he [is] his money.
   Exodus|21:22  If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her
 fruit depart [from her], and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely
 punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall
 pay as the judges [determine].
   Exodus|21:23  And if [any] mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for

 life,
   Exodus|21:24  Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
   Exodus|21:25  Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
   Exodus|21:26  And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of
 his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
   Exodus|21:27  And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his
 maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
   Exodus|21:28  If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox
 shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of
 the ox [shall be] quit.
   Exodus|21:29  But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past,
 and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but
 that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner
 also shall be put to death.
   Exodus|21:30  If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give
 for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
   Exodus|21:31  Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter,
 according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
   Exodus|21:32  If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he
 shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be
 stoned.

   Exodus|21:33  And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit,
 and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
   Exodus|21:34  The owner of the pit shall make [it] good, [and] give money
 unto the owner of them; and the dead [beast] shall be his.
   Exodus|21:35  And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they
 shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead [ox] also
 they shall divide.
   Exodus|21:36  Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time
 past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox;
 and the dead shall be his own.
   Exodus|22:1  If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell
 it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
   Exodus|22:2  If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die,
 [there shall] no blood [be shed] for him.
   Exodus|22:3  If the sun be risen upon him, [there shall be] blood [shed]
 for him; [for] he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he
 shall be sold for his theft.
   Exodus|22:4  If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether
 it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
   Exodus|22:5  If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and
 shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best

 of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make
 restitution.
   Exodus|22:6  If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks
 of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed [therewith]; he
 that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
   Exodus|22:7  If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to
 keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let
 him pay double.
   Exodus|22:8  If the thief be not found, then the master of the house
 shall be brought unto the judges, [to see] whether he have put his hand
 unto his neighbour's goods.
   Exodus|22:9  For all manner of trespass, [whether it be] for ox, for ass,
 for sheep, for raiment, [or] for any manner of lost thing, which [another]
 challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the
 judges; [and] whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his
 neighbour.
   Exodus|22:10  If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a
 sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no
 man seeing [it]:
   Exodus|22:11  [Then] shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that
 he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it

 shall accept [thereof], and he shall not make [it] good.
   Exodus|22:12  And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution
 unto the owner thereof.
   Exodus|22:13  If it be torn in pieces, [then] let him bring it [for]
 witness, [and] he shall not make good that which was torn.
   Exodus|22:14  And if a man borrow [ought] of his neighbour, and it be
 hurt, or die, the owner thereof [being] not with it, he shall surely make
 [it] good.
   Exodus|22:15  [But] if the owner thereof [be] with it, he shall not make
 [it] good: if it [be] an hired [thing], it came for his hire.
   Exodus|22:16  And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie
 with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
   Exodus|22:17  If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall
 pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

   Exodus|22:20  He that sacrificeth unto [any] god, save unto the LORD
 only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
   Exodus|22:21  Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye
 were strangers in the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|22:22  Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.

   Exodus|22:23  If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto
 me, I will surely hear their cry;
   Exodus|22:24  And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the
 sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
   Exodus|22:25  If thou lend money to [any of] my people [that is] poor by
 thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon
 him usury.
   Exodus|22:26  If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou
 shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
   Exodus|22:27  For that [is] his covering only, it [is] his raiment for
 his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth
 unto me, that I will hear; for I [am] gracious.
   Exodus|22:28  Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy
 people.
   Exodus|22:29  Thou shalt not delay [to offer] the first of thy ripe
 fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto
 me.
   Exodus|22:30  Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, [and] with thy
 sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt
 give it me.
   Exodus|22:31  And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat

 [any] flesh [that is] torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the
 dogs.
   Exodus|23:1  Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with
 the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
   Exodus|23:2  Thou shalt not follow a multitude to [do] evil; neither
 shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest [judgment]:
   Exodus|23:3  Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
   Exodus|23:4  If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou
 shalt surely bring it back to him again.
   Exodus|23:5  If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his
 burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
   Exodus|23:6  Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
   Exodus|23:7  Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and
 righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
   Exodus|23:8  And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise,
 and perverteth the words of the righteous.
   Exodus|23:9  Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the
 heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|23:10  And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in
 the fruits thereof:
   Exodus|23:11  But the seventh [year] thou shalt let it rest and lie

 still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts
 of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard,
 [and] with thy oliveyard.
   Exodus|23:12  Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day
 thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy
 handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
   Exodus|23:13  And in all [things] that I have said unto you be
 circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it
 be heard out of thy mouth.
   Exodus|23:14  Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
   Exodus|23:15  Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt
 eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed
 of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall
 appear before me empty:)
   Exodus|23:16  And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours,
 which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, [which is]
 in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the
 field.
   Exodus|23:17  Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before
 the Lord GOD.
   Exodus|23:18  Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with

 leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the
 morning.
   Exodus|23:19  The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring
 into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his
 mother's milk.
   Exodus|23:20  Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the
 way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
   Exodus|23:21  Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he
 will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [is] in him.
   Exodus|23:22  But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I
 speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto
 thine adversaries.
   Exodus|23:23  For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto
 the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the
 Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
   Exodus|23:24  Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor
 do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite
 break down their images.
   Exodus|23:25  And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless
 thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of
 thee.

   Exodus|23:26  There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy
 land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
   Exodus|23:27  I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the
 people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn
 their backs unto thee.
   Exodus|23:28  And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out
 the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
   Exodus|23:29  I will not drive them out from before thee in one year;
 lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against
 thee.
   Exodus|23:30  By little and little I will drive them out from before
 thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
   Exodus|23:31  And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the
 sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will
 deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive
 them out before thee.
   Exodus|23:32  Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
   Exodus|23:33  They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin
 against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto
 thee.
   Exodus|24:1  And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and

 Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship
 ye afar off.
   Exodus|24:2  And Moses alone shall come near the LORD: but they shall not
 come nigh; neither shall the people go up with him.
   Exodus|24:3  And Moses came and told the people all the words of the
 LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice,
 and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.
   Exodus|24:4  And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early
 in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars,
 according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
   Exodus|24:5  And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which
 offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the
 LORD.
   Exodus|24:6  And Moses took half of the blood, and put [it] in basins;
 and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
   Exodus|24:7  And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the
 audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we
 do, and be obedient.
   Exodus|24:8  And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people,
 and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with
 you concerning all these words.

   Exodus|24:9  Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy
 of the elders of Israel:
   Exodus|24:10  And they saw the God of Israel: and [there was] under his
 feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body
 of heaven in [his] clearness.
   Exodus|24:11  And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not
 his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.
   Exodus|24:12  And the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount,
 and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and
 commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.
   Exodus|24:13  And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went
 up into the mount of God.
   Exodus|24:14  And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we
 come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with you: if any man
 have any matters to do, let him come unto them.
   Exodus|24:15  And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the
 mount.
   Exodus|24:16  And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the
 cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of
 the midst of the cloud.
   Exodus|24:17  And the sight of the glory of the LORD [was] like devouring

 fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
   Exodus|24:18  And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up
 into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
   Exodus|25:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Exodus|25:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an
 offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall
 take my offering.
   Exodus|25:3  And this [is] the offering which ye shall take of them;
 gold, and silver, and brass,
   Exodus|25:4  And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and
 goats' [hair],
   Exodus|25:5  And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim
 wood,
   Exodus|25:6  Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet
 incense,
   Exodus|25:7  Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the
 breastplate.
   Exodus|25:8  And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among
 them.
   Exodus|25:9  According to all that I show thee, [after] the pattern of
 the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so

 shall ye make [it].
   Exodus|25:10  And they shall make an ark [of] shittim wood: two cubits
 and a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the
 breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
   Exodus|25:11  And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and
 without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round
 about.
   Exodus|25:12  And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put
 [them] in the four corners thereof; and two rings [shall be] in the one
 side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
   Exodus|25:13  And thou shalt make staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay
 them with gold.
   Exodus|25:14  And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides
 of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
   Exodus|25:15  The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not
 be taken from it.
   Exodus|25:16  And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall
 give thee.

 and a half [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the
 breadth thereof.

   Exodus|25:18  And thou shalt make two cherubims [of] gold, [of] beaten
 work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
   Exodus|25:19  And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on
 the other end: [even] of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the
 two ends thereof.
   Exodus|25:20  And the cherubims shall stretch forth [their] wings on
 high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces [shall
 look] one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the
 cherubims be.
   Exodus|25:21  And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and
 in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
   Exodus|25:22  And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with
 thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which [are]
 upon the ark of the testimony, of all [things] which I will give thee in
 commandment unto the children of Israel.
   Exodus|25:23  Thou shalt also make a table [of] shittim wood: two cubits
 [shall be] the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit
 and a half the height thereof.
   Exodus|25:24  And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto
 a crown of gold round about.

 round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round
 about.
   Exodus|25:26  And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the
 rings in the four corners that [are] on the four feet thereof.
   Exodus|25:27  Over against the border shall the rings be for places of
 the staves to bear the table.
   Exodus|25:28  And thou shalt make the staves [of] shittim wood, and
 overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.

 alway.
   Exodus|25:31  And thou shalt make a candlestick [of] pure gold: [of]
 beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his
 bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
   Exodus|25:32  And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three
 branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the
 candlestick out of the other side:
   Exodus|25:33  Three bowls made like unto almonds, [with] a knop and a
 flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other

 branch, [with] a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of
 the candlestick.

 almonds, [with] their knops and their flowers.

 [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubims
 of cunning work shalt thou make them.

 cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the
 curtains shall have one measure.

 curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in
 the uttermost edge of [another] curtain, in the coupling of the second.

 compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing
 oil.
   Exodus|30:26  And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation

 therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
   Exodus|30:27  And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and
 his vessels, and the altar of incense,
   Exodus|30:28  And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and
 the laver and his foot.
   Exodus|30:29  And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy:
 whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
   Exodus|30:30  And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate
 them, that [they] may minister unto me in the priest's office.
   Exodus|30:31  And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
 This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
   Exodus|30:32  Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye
 make [any other] like it, after the composition of it: it [is] holy, [and]
 it shall be holy unto you.
   Exodus|30:33  Whosoever compoundeth [any] like it, or whosoever putteth
 [any] of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
   Exodus|30:34  And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices,
 stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; [these] sweet spices with pure
 frankincense: of each shall there be a like [weight]:
   Exodus|30:35  And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the
 art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure [and] holy:

   Exodus|30:36  And thou shalt beat [some] of it very small, and put of it
 before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will
 meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
   Exodus|30:37  And [as for] the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall
 not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be
 unto thee holy for the LORD.
   Exodus|30:38  Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto,
 shall even be cut off from his people.
   Exodus|31:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Exodus|31:2  See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son
 of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
   Exodus|31:3  And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and
 in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
   Exodus|31:4  To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and
 in brass,
   Exodus|31:5  And in cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of
 timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
   Exodus|31:6  And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of
 Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise
 hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded
 thee;

   Exodus|31:7  The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the
 testimony, and the mercy seat that [is] thereupon, and all the furniture of
 the tabernacle,
   Exodus|31:8  And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick
 with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
   Exodus|31:9  And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and
 the laver and his foot,
   Exodus|31:10  And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron
 the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's
 office,
   Exodus|31:11  And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy
 [place]: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
   Exodus|31:12  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Exodus|31:13  Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily
 my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout
 your generations; that [ye] may know that I [am] the LORD that doth
 sanctify you.
   Exodus|31:14  Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto
 you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever
 doeth [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
   Exodus|31:15  Six days may work be done; but in the seventh [is] the

 sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth [any] work in the
 sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
   Exodus|31:16  Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to
 observe the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual
 covenant.
   Exodus|31:17  It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for
 ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh
 day he rested, and was refreshed.
   Exodus|31:18  And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of
 communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of
 stone, written with the finger of God.
   Exodus|32:1  And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out
 of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said
 unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for [as for] this
 Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what
 is become of him.
   Exodus|32:2  And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings,
 which [are] in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters,
 and bring [them] unto me.
   Exodus|32:3  And all the people brake off the golden earrings which
 [were] in their ears, and brought [them] unto Aaron.

   Exodus|32:4  And he received [them] at their hand, and fashioned it with
 a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These
 [be] thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|32:5  And when Aaron saw [it], he built an altar before it; and
 Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow [is] a feast to the LORD.
   Exodus|32:6  And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt
 offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and
 to drink, and rose up to play.
   Exodus|32:7  And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy
 people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted
 [themselves]:
   Exodus|32:8  They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I
 commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it,
 and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These [be] thy gods, O Israel,
 which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
   Exodus|32:9  And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and,
 behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people:
   Exodus|32:10  Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot
 against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great
 nation.
   Exodus|32:11  And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why

 doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth
 out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
   Exodus|32:12  Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief
 did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them
 from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this
 evil against thy people.
   Exodus|32:13  Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom
 thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your
 seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I
 give unto your seed, and they shall inherit [it] for ever.
   Exodus|32:14  And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do
 unto his people.
   Exodus|32:15  And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two
 tables of the testimony [were] in his hand: the tables [were] written on
 both their sides; on the one side and on the other [were] they written.
   Exodus|32:16  And the tables [were] the work of God, and the writing
 [was] the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
   Exodus|32:17  And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they
 shouted, he said unto Moses, [There is] a noise of war in the camp.
   Exodus|32:18  And he said, [It is] not the voice of [them that] shout for
 mastery, neither [is it] the voice of [them that] cry for being overcome:

 [but] the noise of [them that] sing do I hear.
   Exodus|32:19  And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp,
 that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he
 cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
   Exodus|32:20  And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt [it] in
 the fire, and ground [it] to powder, and strowed [it] upon the water, and
 made the children of Israel drink [of it].
   Exodus|32:21  And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee,
 that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
   Exodus|32:22  And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou
 knowest the people, that they [are set] on mischief.
   Exodus|32:23  For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before
 us: for [as for] this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of
 Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
   Exodus|32:24  And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them
 break [it] off. So they gave [it] me: then I cast it into the fire, and
 there came out this calf.
   Exodus|32:25  And when Moses saw that the people [were] naked; (for Aaron
 had made them naked unto [their] shame among their enemies:)
   Exodus|32:26  Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who
 [is] on the LORD'S side? [let him come] unto me. And all the sons of Levi

 gathered themselves together unto him.
   Exodus|32:27  And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,
 Put every man his sword by his side, [and] go in and out from gate to gate
 throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his
 companion, and every man his neighbour.
   Exodus|32:28  And the children of Levi did according to the word of
 Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
   Exodus|32:29  For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the
 LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow
 upon you a blessing this day.
   Exodus|32:30  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the
 people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD;
 peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
   Exodus|32:31  And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people
 have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
   Exodus|32:32  Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot
 me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
   Exodus|32:33  And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against
 me, him will I blot out of my book.
   Exodus|32:34  Therefore now go, lead the people unto [the place] of which
 I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee:

 nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
   Exodus|32:35  And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the
 calf, which Aaron made.
   Exodus|33:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, [and] go up hence,
 thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt,
 unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying,
 Unto thy seed will I give it:
   Exodus|33:2  And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out
 the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite,
 and the Jebusite:
   Exodus|33:3  Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go
 up in the midst of thee; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people: lest I
 consume thee in the way.
   Exodus|33:4  And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned:
 and no man did put on him his ornaments.
   Exodus|33:5  For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of
 Israel, Ye [are] a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of
 thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments
 from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
   Exodus|33:6  And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their
 ornaments by the mount Horeb.

   Exodus|33:7  And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the
 camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the
 congregation. And it came to pass, [that] every one which sought the LORD
 went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which [was] without the
 camp.
   Exodus|33:8  And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the
 tabernacle, [that] all the people rose up, and stood every man [at] his
 tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
   Exodus|33:9  And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle,
 the cloudy pillar descended, and stood [at] the door of the tabernacle, and
 [the LORD] talked with Moses.
   Exodus|33:10  And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand [at] the
 tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man [in]
 his tent door.
   Exodus|33:11  And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man
 speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his
 servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the
 tabernacle.
   Exodus|33:12  And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me,
 Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send
 with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found

 grace in my sight.
   Exodus|33:13  Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy
 sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in
 thy sight: and consider that this nation [is] thy people.
   Exodus|33:14  And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will
 give thee rest.
   Exodus|33:15  And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with me],
 carry us not up hence.
   Exodus|33:16  For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people
 have found grace in thy sight? [is it] not in that thou goest with us? so
 shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that [are]
 upon the face of the earth.
   Exodus|33:17  And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also
 that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know
 thee by name.
   Exodus|33:18  And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.
   Exodus|33:19  And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee,
 and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious
 to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
   Exodus|33:20  And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no
 man see me, and live.

   Exodus|33:21  And the LORD said, Behold, [there is] a place by me, and
 thou shalt stand upon a rock:
   Exodus|33:22  And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that
 I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand
 while I pass by:
   Exodus|33:23  And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back
 parts: but my face shall not be seen.
   Exodus|34:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone
 like unto the first: and I will write upon [these] tables the words that
 were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
   Exodus|34:2  And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto
 mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
   Exodus|34:3  And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be
 seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before
 that mount.
   Exodus|34:4  And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and
 Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the
 LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
   Exodus|34:5  And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him
 there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
   Exodus|34:6  And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD,

 The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in
 goodness and truth,
   Exodus|34:7  Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and
 transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty];
 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the
 children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].
   Exodus|34:8  And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth,
 and worshipped.
   Exodus|34:9  And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord,
 let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it [is] a stiffnecked people;
 and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
   Exodus|34:10  And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy
 people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor
 in any nation: and all the people among which thou [art] shall see the work
 of the LORD: for it [is] a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
   Exodus|34:11  Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I
 drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and
 the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
   Exodus|34:12  Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the
 inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the
 midst of thee:

   Exodus|34:13  But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and
 cut down their groves:
   Exodus|34:14  For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose
 name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:
   Exodus|34:15  Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land,
 and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods,
 and [one] call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
   Exodus|34:16  And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their
 daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring
 after their gods.
   Exodus|34:17  Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
   Exodus|34:18  The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days
 thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the
 month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
   Exodus|34:19  All that openeth the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling
 among thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [that is male].
   Exodus|34:20  But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb:
 and if thou redeem [him] not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the
 firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me
 empty.
   Exodus|34:21  Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt

 rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
   Exodus|34:22  And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the
 firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's
 end.
   Exodus|34:23  Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before
 the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
   Exodus|34:24  For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge
 thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up
 to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
   Exodus|34:25  Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven;
 neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the
 morning.
   Exodus|34:26  The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring
 unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his
 mother's milk.
   Exodus|34:27  And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for
 after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with
 Israel.
   Exodus|34:28  And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights;
 he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the
 words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

   Exodus|34:29  And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai
 with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the
 mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked
 with him.
   Exodus|34:30  And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses,
 behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
   Exodus|34:31  And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of
 the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
   Exodus|34:32  And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he
 gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount
 Sinai.
   Exodus|34:33  And [till] Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil
 on his face.
   Exodus|34:34  But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him,
 he took the veil off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto
 the children of Israel [that] which he was commanded.
   Exodus|34:35  And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the
 skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again,
 until he went in to speak with him.
   Exodus|35:1  And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of
 Israel together, and said unto them, These [are] the words which the LORD

 hath commanded, that [ye] should do them.
   Exodus|35:2  Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there
 shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth
 work therein shall be put to death.
   Exodus|35:3  Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the
 sabbath day.
   Exodus|35:4  And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of
 Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
   Exodus|35:5  Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever
 [is] of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold,
 and silver, and brass,
   Exodus|35:6  And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and
 goats' [hair],
   Exodus|35:7  And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim
 wood,
   Exodus|35:8  And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for
 the sweet incense,
   Exodus|35:9  And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for
 the breastplate.
   Exodus|35:10  And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all
 that the LORD hath commanded;

   Exodus|35:11  The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and
 his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
   Exodus|35:12  The ark, and the staves thereof, [with] the mercy seat, and
 the veil of the covering,
   Exodus|35:13  The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the
 showbread,
   Exodus|35:14  The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and
 his lamps, with the oil for the light,
   Exodus|35:15  And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing
 oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in
 of the tabernacle,
   Exodus|35:16  The altar of burnt offering, with his brazen grate, his
 staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
   Exodus|35:17  The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets,
 and the hanging for the door of the court,
   Exodus|35:18  The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and
 their cords,
   Exodus|35:19  The cloths of service, to do service in the holy [place],
 the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to
 minister in the priest's office.
   Exodus|35:20  And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed

 from the presence of Moses.
   Exodus|35:21  And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and
 every one whom his spirit made willing, [and] they brought the LORD'S
 offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his
 service, and for the holy garments.
   Exodus|35:22  And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing
 hearted, [and] brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all
 jewels of gold: and every man that offered [offered] an offering of gold
 unto the LORD.
   Exodus|35:23  And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and
 scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair], and red skins of rams, and
 badgers' skins, brought [them].
   Exodus|35:24  Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass
 brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim
 wood for any work of the service, brought [it].
   Exodus|35:25  And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with
 their hands, and brought that which they had spun, [both] of blue, and of
 purple, [and] of scarlet, and of fine linen.
   Exodus|35:26  And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom
 spun goats' [hair].
   Exodus|35:27  And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set,

 for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
   Exodus|35:28  And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing
 oil, and for the sweet incense.
   Exodus|35:29  The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the
 LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all
 manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of
 Moses.
   Exodus|35:30  And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD
 hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe
 of Judah;
   Exodus|35:31  And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom,
 in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
   Exodus|35:32  And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in
 silver, and in brass,
   Exodus|35:33  And in the cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving
 of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
   Exodus|35:34  And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, [both] he,
 and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
   Exodus|35:35  Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all
 manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the
 embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of

 the weaver, [even] of them that do any work, and of those that devise
 cunning work.
   Exodus|36:1  Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted
 man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all
 manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the
 LORD had commanded.
   Exodus|36:2  And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise
 hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, [even] every one whose
 heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
   Exodus|36:3  And they received of Moses all the offering, which the
 children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the
 sanctuary, to make it [withal]. And they brought yet unto him free
 offerings every morning.
   Exodus|36:4  And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the
 sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
   Exodus|36:5  And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much
 more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to
 make.
   Exodus|36:6  And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be
 proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any
 more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained

 from bringing.
   Exodus|36:7  For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to
 make it, and too much.
   Exodus|36:8  And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work
 of the tabernacle made ten curtains [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and
 purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubims of cunning work made he them.
   Exodus|36:9  The length of one curtain [was] twenty and eight cubits, and
 the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains [were] all of one
 size.
   Exodus|36:10  And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and [the
 other] five curtains he coupled one unto another.
   Exodus|36:11  And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from
 the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of
 [another] curtain, in the coupling of the second.
   Exodus|36:12  Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he
 in the edge of the curtain which [was] in the coupling of the second: the
 loops held one [curtain] to another.
   Exodus|36:13  And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains
 one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
   Exodus|36:14  And he made curtains [of] goats' [hair] for the tent over
 the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

   Exodus|36:15  The length of one curtain [was] thirty cubits, and four
 cubits [was] the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains [were] of one
 size.
   Exodus|36:16  And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six
 curtains by themselves.
   Exodus|36:17  And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the
 curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the
 curtain which coupleth the second.
   Exodus|36:18  And he made fifty taches [of] brass to couple the tent
 together, that it might be one.
   Exodus|36:19  And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed
 red, and a covering [of] badgers' skins above [that].
   Exodus|36:20  And he made boards for the tabernacle [of] shittim wood,
 standing up.
   Exodus|36:21  The length of a board [was] ten cubits, and the breadth of
 a board one cubit and a half.
   Exodus|36:22  One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another:
 thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
   Exodus|36:23  And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for
 the south side southward:
   Exodus|36:24  And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty

 boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets
 under another board for his two tenons.
   Exodus|36:25  And for the other side of the tabernacle, [which is] toward
 the north corner, he made twenty boards,
   Exodus|36:26  And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one
 board, and two sockets under another board.
   Exodus|36:27  And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six
 boards.
   Exodus|36:28  And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in
 the two sides.
   Exodus|36:29  And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the
 head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
   Exodus|36:30  And there were eight boards; and their sockets [were]
 sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
   Exodus|36:31  And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of
 the one side of the tabernacle,
   Exodus|36:32  And five bars for the boards of the other side of the
 tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides
 westward.
   Exodus|36:33  And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from
 the one end to the other.

   Exodus|36:34  And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings
 [of] gold [to be] places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
   Exodus|36:35  And he made a veil [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
 fine twined linen: [with] cherubims made he it of cunning work.
   Exodus|36:36  And he made thereunto four pillars [of] shittim [wood], and
 overlaid them with gold: their hooks [were of] gold; and he cast for them
 four sockets of silver.
   Exodus|36:37  And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door [of] blue,
 and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
   Exodus|36:38  And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he
 overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five
 sockets [were of] brass.
   Exodus|37:1  And Bezaleel made the ark [of] shittim wood: two cubits and
 a half [was] the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it,
 and a cubit and a half the height of it:
   Exodus|37:2  And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and
 made a crown of gold to it round about.
   Exodus|37:3  And he cast for it four rings of gold, [to be set] by the
 four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings
 upon the other side of it.
   Exodus|37:4  And he made staves [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them with

 gold.
   Exodus|37:5  And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the
 ark, to bear the ark.
   Exodus|37:6  And he made the mercy seat [of] pure gold: two cubits and a
 half [was] the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth
 thereof.
   Exodus|37:7  And he made two cherubims [of] gold, beaten out of one piece
 made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
   Exodus|37:8  One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on
 the [other] end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims
 on the two ends thereof.
   Exodus|37:9  And the cherubims spread out [their] wings on high, [and]
 covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to
 another; [even] to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
   Exodus|37:10  And he made the table [of] shittim wood: two cubits [was]
 the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half
 the height thereof:
   Exodus|37:11  And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a
 crown of gold round about.
   Exodus|37:12  Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round
 about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

   Exodus|37:13  And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings
 upon the four corners that [were] in the four feet thereof.
   Exodus|37:14  Over against the border were the rings, the places for the
 staves to bear the table.
   Exodus|37:15  And he made the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them
 with gold, to bear the table.
   Exodus|37:16  And he made the vessels which [were] upon the table, his
 dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, [of]
 pure gold.
   Exodus|37:17  And he made the candlestick [of] pure gold: [of] beaten
 work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his
 knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
   Exodus|37:18  And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three
 branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches
 of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
   Exodus|37:19  Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one
 branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another
 branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of
 the candlestick.
   Exodus|37:20  And in the candlestick [were] four bowls made like almonds,
 his knops, and his flowers:

   Exodus|37:21  And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under
 two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same,
 according to the six branches going out of it.
   Exodus|37:22  Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it
 [was] one beaten work [of] pure gold.
   Exodus|37:23  And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his
 snuffdishes, [of] pure gold.
   Exodus|37:24  [Of] a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels
 thereof.
   Exodus|37:25  And he made the incense altar [of] shittim wood: the length
 of it [was] a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; [it was] foursquare;
 and two cubits [was] the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
   Exodus|37:26  And he overlaid it with pure gold, [both] the top of it,
 and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto
 it a crown of gold round about.
   Exodus|37:27  And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown
 thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places
 for the staves to bear it withal.
   Exodus|37:28  And he made the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them
 with gold.
   Exodus|37:29  And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of

 sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
   Exodus|38:1  And he made the altar of burnt offering [of] shittim wood:
 five cubits [was] the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof;
 [it was] foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
   Exodus|38:2  And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the
 horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
   Exodus|38:3  And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the
 shovels, and the basins, [and] the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the
 vessels thereof made he [of] brass.
   Exodus|38:4  And he made for the altar a brazen grate of network under
 the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
   Exodus|38:5  And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of
 brass, [to be] places for the staves.
   Exodus|38:6  And he made the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them

   Exodus|38:8  And he made the laver [of] brass, and the foot of it [of]
 brass, of the lookingglasses of [the women] assembling, which assembled
 [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Exodus|38:9  And he made the court: on the south side southward the

 hangings of the court [were of] fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
   Exodus|38:10  Their pillars [were] twenty, and their brazen sockets
 twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets [were of] silver.
   Exodus|38:11  And for the north side [the hangings were] an hundred
 cubits, their pillars [were] twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the
 hooks of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver.

 of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver; and the overlaying of their
 chapiters [of] silver; and all the pillars of the court [were] filleted
 with silver.

   Exodus|38:18  And the hanging for the gate of the court [was] needlework,
 [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty

 answerable to the hangings of the court.
   Exodus|38:19  And their pillars [were] four, and their sockets [of] brass
 four; their hooks [of] silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and
 their fillets [of] silver.
   Exodus|38:20  And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round
 about, [were of] brass.
   Exodus|38:21  This is the sum of the tabernacle, [even] of the tabernacle
 of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses,
 [for] the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the
 priest.
   Exodus|38:22  And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe
 of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|38:23  And with him [was] Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe
 of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and
 in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
   Exodus|38:24  All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work
 of the holy [place], even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine
 talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the

 sanctuary.
   Exodus|38:25  And the silver of them that were numbered of the
 congregation [was] an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and
 threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
   Exodus|38:26  A bekah for every man, [that is], half a shekel, after the
 shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from
 twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand
 and five hundred and fifty [men].
   Exodus|38:27  And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets
 of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; an hundred sockets of the
 hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
   Exodus|38:28  And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels
 he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted
 them.
   Exodus|38:29  And the brass of the offering [was] seventy talents, and
 two thousand and four hundred shekels.
   Exodus|38:30  And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the
 tabernacle of the congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate
 for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
   Exodus|38:31  And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets
 of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of

 the court round about.
   Exodus|39:1  And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths
 of service, to do service in the holy [place], and made the holy garments
 for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|39:2  And he made the ephod [of] gold, blue, and purple, and
 scarlet, and fine twined linen.
   Exodus|39:3  And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut [it
 into] wires, to work [it] in the blue, and in the purple, and in the
 scarlet, and in the fine linen, [with] cunning work.
   Exodus|39:4  They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple [it] together: by
 the two edges was it coupled together.
   Exodus|39:5  And the curious girdle of his ephod, that [was] upon it,
 [was] of the same, according to the work thereof; [of] gold, blue, and
 purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|39:6  And they wrought onyx stones enclosed in ouches of gold,
 graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
   Exodus|39:7  And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, [that they
 should be] stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD
 commanded Moses.
   Exodus|39:8  And he made the breastplate [of] cunning work, like the work
 of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined

 linen.
   Exodus|39:9  It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span
 [was] the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, [being] doubled.
   Exodus|39:10  And they set in it four rows of stones: [the first] row
 [was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this [was] the first row.
   Exodus|39:11  And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
   Exodus|39:12  And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
   Exodus|39:13  And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: [they
 were] enclosed in ouches of gold in their enclosings.
   Exodus|39:14  And the stones [were] according to the names of the
 children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, [like] the engravings
 of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
   Exodus|39:15  And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, [of]
 wreathen work [of] pure gold.
   Exodus|39:16  And they made two ouches [of] gold, and two gold rings; and
 put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
   Exodus|39:17  And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two
 rings on the ends of the breastplate.
   Exodus|39:18  And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened
 in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before
 it.

   Exodus|39:19  And they made two rings of gold, and put [them] on the two
 ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which [was] on the side of
 the ephod inward.
   Exodus|39:20  And they made two [other] golden rings, and put them on the
 two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against
 the [other] coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
   Exodus|39:21  And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the
 rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious
 girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the
 ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|39:22  And he made the robe of the ephod [of] woven work, all [of]
 blue.
   Exodus|39:23  And [there was] an hole in the midst of the robe, as the
 hole of an habergeon, [with] a band round about the hole, that it should
 not rend.
   Exodus|39:24  And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates [of]
 blue, and purple, and scarlet, [and] twined [linen].
   Exodus|39:25  And they made bells [of] pure gold, and put the bells
 between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the
 pomegranates;
   Exodus|39:26  A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round

 about the hem of the robe to minister [in]; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|39:27  And they made coats [of] fine linen [of] woven work for
 Aaron, and for his sons,
   Exodus|39:28  And a mitre [of] fine linen, and goodly bonnets [of] fine
 linen, and linen breeches [of] fine twined linen,
   Exodus|39:29  And a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple,
 and scarlet, [of] needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|39:30  And they made the plate of the holy crown [of] pure gold,
 and wrote upon it a writing, [like to] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS
 TO THE LORD.
   Exodus|39:31  And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on
 high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|39:32  Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the
 congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that
 the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
   Exodus|39:33  And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and
 all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and
 his sockets,
   Exodus|39:34  And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering
 of badgers' skins, and the veil of the covering,
   Exodus|39:35  The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the

 mercy seat,
   Exodus|39:36  The table, [and] all the vessels thereof, and the
 showbread,
   Exodus|39:37  The pure candlestick, [with] the lamps thereof, [even with]
 the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for
 light,
   Exodus|39:38  And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet
 incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
   Exodus|39:39  The brazen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and
 all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
   Exodus|39:40  The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets,
 and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the
 vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
   Exodus|39:41  The cloths of service to do service in the holy [place],
 and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to
 minister in the priest's office.
   Exodus|39:42  According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the
 children of Israel made all the work.
   Exodus|39:43  And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had
 done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses
 blessed them.

   Exodus|40:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Exodus|40:2  On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the
 tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
   Exodus|40:3  And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and
 cover the ark with the veil.
   Exodus|40:4  And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the
 things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the
 candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
   Exodus|40:5  And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before
 the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the
 tabernacle.
   Exodus|40:6  And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before
 the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
   Exodus|40:7  And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the
 congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
   Exodus|40:8  And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the
 hanging at the court gate.
   Exodus|40:9  And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the
 tabernacle, and all that [is] therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the
 vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
   Exodus|40:10  And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and

 all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most
 holy.
   Exodus|40:11  And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify
 it.
   Exodus|40:12  And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of
 the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
   Exodus|40:13  And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint
 him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
   Exodus|40:14  And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
   Exodus|40:15  And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their
 father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their
 anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their
 generations.
   Exodus|40:16  Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded
 him, so did he.
   Exodus|40:17  And it came to pass in the first month in the second year,
 on the first [day] of the month, [that] the tabernacle was reared up.
   Exodus|40:18  And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his
 sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and
 reared up his pillars.
   Exodus|40:19  And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put

 the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|40:20  And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the
 staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
   Exodus|40:21  And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the
 veil of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD
 commanded Moses.
   Exodus|40:22  And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon
 the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.
   Exodus|40:23  And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as
 the LORD had commanded Moses.
   Exodus|40:24  And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation,
 over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
   Exodus|40:25  And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD
 commanded Moses.
   Exodus|40:26  And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation
 before the veil:
   Exodus|40:27  And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded
 Moses.
   Exodus|40:28  And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.
   Exodus|40:29  And he put the altar of burnt offering [by] the door of the
 tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt

 offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|40:30  And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation
 and the altar, and put water there, to wash [withal].
   Exodus|40:31  And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and
 their feet thereat:
   Exodus|40:32  When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when
 they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Exodus|40:33  And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and
 the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the
 work.
   Exodus|40:34  Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the
 glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
   Exodus|40:35  And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the
 congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD
 filled the tabernacle.
   Exodus|40:36  And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle,
 the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
   Exodus|40:37  But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not
 till the day that it was taken up.
   Exodus|40:38  For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by day,
 and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,

 throughout all their journeys.
   Leviticus|1:1  And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of
 the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
   Leviticus|1:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If
 any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your
 offering of the cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock.
   Leviticus|1:3  If his offering [be] a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let
 him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary
 will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
   Leviticus|1:4  And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt
 offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
   Leviticus|1:5  And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the
 priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round
 about upon the altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the
 congregation.
   Leviticus|1:6  And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his
 pieces.

 offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

 his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that [is] on
 the fire which [is] upon the altar:

 and the priest shall bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it [is]
 a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the
 LORD.

 cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
   Leviticus|1:17  And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, [but]

 upon the wood that [is] upon the fire: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an
 offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

 thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the
 memorial of it upon the altar, [to be] an offering made by fire, of a sweet

 these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he

 them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet

 offer salt.

 the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green
 ears of corn dried by the fire, [even] corn beaten out of full ears.

 thereon: it [is] a meat offering.
   Leviticus|2:16  And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, [part] of
 the beaten corn thereof, and [part] of the oil thereof, with all the
 frankincense thereof: [it is] an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

 throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
   Leviticus|4:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

   Leviticus|4:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall
 sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD
 [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of
 them:
   Leviticus|4:3  If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin
 of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a
 young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
   Leviticus|4:4  And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the
 tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon
 the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
   Leviticus|4:5  And the priest that is anointed shall take of the
 bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
   Leviticus|4:6  And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and
 sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the veil of the
 sanctuary.
   Leviticus|4:7  And the priest shall put [some] of the blood upon the
 horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which [is] in the
 tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock
 at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which [is at] the door of
 the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Leviticus|4:8  And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock

 for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat
 that [is] upon the inwards,
   Leviticus|4:9  And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] upon them,
 which [is] by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys,
 it shall he take away,
   Leviticus|4:10  As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of
 peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt
 offering.
   Leviticus|4:11  And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his
 head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
   Leviticus|4:12  Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the
 camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on
 the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
   Leviticus|4:13  And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through
 ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they
 have done [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD
 [concerning things] which should not be done, and are guilty;
   Leviticus|4:14  When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is
 known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and
 bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Leviticus|4:15  And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands

 upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be
 killed before the LORD.
   Leviticus|4:16  And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the
 bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
   Leviticus|4:17  And the priest shall dip his finger [in some] of the
 blood, and sprinkle [it] seven times before the LORD, [even] before the
 veil.
   Leviticus|4:18  And he shall put [some] of the blood upon the horns of
 the altar which [is] before the LORD, that [is] in the tabernacle of the
 congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar
 of the burnt offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of the
 congregation.
   Leviticus|4:19  And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn [it]
 upon the altar.
   Leviticus|4:20  And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the
 bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall
 make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
   Leviticus|4:21  And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp,
 and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it [is] a sin offering for the
 congregation.
   Leviticus|4:22  When a ruler hath sinned, and done [somewhat] through

 ignorance [against] any of the commandments of the LORD his God [concerning
 things] which should not be done, and is guilty;
   Leviticus|4:23  Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his
 knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without
 blemish:
   Leviticus|4:24  And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and
 kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it
 [is] a sin offering.
   Leviticus|4:25  And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin
 offering with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt
 offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt
 offering.
   Leviticus|4:26  And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat
 of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement
 for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
   Leviticus|4:27  And if any one of the common people sin through
 ignorance, while he doeth [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the
 LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
   Leviticus|4:28  Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his
 knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female
 without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.

   Leviticus|4:29  And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin
 offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
   Leviticus|4:30  And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his
 finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and
 shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
   Leviticus|4:31  And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is
 taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall
 burn [it] upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest
 shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
   Leviticus|4:32  And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring
 it a female without blemish.
   Leviticus|4:33  And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin
 offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the
 burnt offering.
   Leviticus|4:34  And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin
 offering with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt
 offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the
 altar:
   Leviticus|4:35  And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of
 the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the
 priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by

 fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that
 he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
   Leviticus|5:1  And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and
 [is] a witness, whether he hath seen or known [of it]; if he do not utter
 [it], then he shall bear his iniquity.
   Leviticus|5:2  Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether [it be] a
 carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase
 of unclean creeping things, and [if] it be hidden from him; he also shall
 be unclean, and guilty.
   Leviticus|5:3  Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever
 uncleanness [it be] that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from
 him; when he knoweth [of it], then he shall be guilty.
   Leviticus|5:4  Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with [his] lips to do
 evil, or to do good, whatsoever [it be] that a man shall pronounce with an
 oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth [of it], then he shall be
 guilty in one of these.
   Leviticus|5:5  And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these
 [things], that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that [thing]:
   Leviticus|5:6  And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for
 his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of
 the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for

 him concerning his sin.
   Leviticus|5:7  And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring
 for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young
 pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt
 offering.
   Leviticus|5:8  And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer
 [that] which [is] for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from
 his neck, but shall not divide [it] asunder:
   Leviticus|5:9  And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering
 upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at
 the bottom of the altar: it [is] a sin offering.
   Leviticus|5:10  And he shall offer the second [for] a burnt offering,
 according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for
 his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
   Leviticus|5:11  But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two
 young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth
 part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon
 it, neither shall he put [any] frankincense thereon: for it [is] a sin
 offering.
   Leviticus|5:12  Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest
 shall take his handful of it, [even] a memorial thereof, and burn [it] on

 the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a
 sin offering.
   Leviticus|5:13  And the priest shall make an atonement for him as
 touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be
 forgiven him: and [the remnant] shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
   Leviticus|5:14  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|5:15  If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance,
 in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto
 the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by
 shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass
 offering:
   Leviticus|5:16  And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done
 in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto
 the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of
 the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
   Leviticus|5:17  And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which
 are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist
 [it] not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
   Leviticus|5:18  And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the
 flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and
 the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein

 he erred and wist [it] not, and it shall be forgiven him.
   Leviticus|5:19  It [is] a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed
 against the LORD.
   Leviticus|6:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|6:2  If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and
 lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in
 fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his
 neighbour;
   Leviticus|6:3  Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning
 it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning
 therein:
   Leviticus|6:4  Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty,
 that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which
 he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the
 lost thing which he found,
   Leviticus|6:5  Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall
 even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more
 thereto, [and] give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his
 trespass offering.
   Leviticus|6:6  And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a
 ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass

 offering, unto the priest:
   Leviticus|6:7  And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the
 LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done
 in trespassing therein.
   Leviticus|6:8  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|6:9  Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This [is] the law of
 the burnt offering: It [is] the burnt offering, because of the burning upon
 the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be
 burning in it.
   Leviticus|6:10  And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his
 linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the
 fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put
 them beside the altar.
   Leviticus|6:11  And he shall put off his garments, and put on other
 garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
   Leviticus|6:12  And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it
 shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning,
 and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the
 fat of the peace offerings.
   Leviticus|6:13  The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall
 never go out.

   Leviticus|6:14  And this [is] the law of the meat offering: the sons of
 Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
   Leviticus|6:15  And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the
 meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which [is]
 upon the meat offering, and shall burn [it] upon the altar [for] a sweet
 savour, [even] the memorial of it, unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|6:16  And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat:
 with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of
 the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.
   Leviticus|6:17  It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it [unto
 them for] their portion of my offerings made by fire; it [is] most holy, as
 [is] the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
   Leviticus|6:18  All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of
 it. [It shall be] a statute for ever in your generations concerning the
 offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be
 holy.
   Leviticus|6:19  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|6:20  This [is] the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which
 they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth
 part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in
 the morning, and half thereof at night.

   Leviticus|6:21  In a pan it shall be made with oil; [and when it is]
 baken, thou shalt bring it in: [and] the baken pieces of the meat offering
 shalt thou offer [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|6:22  And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead
 shall offer it: [it is] a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be
 wholly burnt.
   Leviticus|6:23  For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly
 burnt: it shall not be eaten.
   Leviticus|6:24  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|6:25  Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This [is] the
 law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed
 shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it [is] most holy.
   Leviticus|6:26  The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the
 holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the
 congregation.
   Leviticus|6:27  Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy:
 and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou
 shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
   Leviticus|6:28  But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be
 broken: and if it be sodden in a brazen pot, it shall be both scoured, and
 rinsed in water.

   Leviticus|6:29  All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it
 [is] most holy.
   Leviticus|6:30  And no sin offering, whereof [any] of the blood is
 brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile [withal] in
 the holy [place], shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
   Leviticus|7:1  Likewise this [is] the law of the trespass offering: it
 [is] most holy.
   Leviticus|7:2  In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they
 kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round
 about upon the altar.
   Leviticus|7:3  And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump,
 and the fat that covereth the inwards,
   Leviticus|7:4  And the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them, which
 [is] by the flanks, and the caul [that is] above the liver, with the
 kidneys, it shall he take away:
   Leviticus|7:5  And the priest shall burn them upon the altar [for] an
 offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a trespass offering.
   Leviticus|7:6  Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall
 be eaten in the holy place: it [is] most holy.
   Leviticus|7:7  As the sin offering [is], so [is] the trespass offering:
 [there is] one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith

 shall have [it].
   Leviticus|7:8  And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering,
 [even] the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering
 which he hath offered.
   Leviticus|7:9  And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and
 all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's
 that offereth it.
   Leviticus|7:10  And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall
 all the sons of Aaron have, one [as much] as another.
   Leviticus|7:11  And this [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace
 offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|7:12  If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer
 with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and
 unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine
 flour, fried.
   Leviticus|7:13  Besides the cakes, he shall offer [for] his offering
 leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
   Leviticus|7:14  And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation
 [for] an heave offering unto the LORD, [and] it shall be the priest's that
 sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
   Leviticus|7:15  And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for

 thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not
 leave any of it until the morning.
   Leviticus|7:16  But if the sacrifice of his offering [be] a vow, or a
 voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his
 sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
   Leviticus|7:17  But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the
 third day shall be burnt with fire.
   Leviticus|7:18  And if [any] of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace
 offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted,
 neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an
 abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
   Leviticus|7:19  And the flesh that toucheth any unclean [thing] shall not
 be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be
 clean shall eat thereof.
   Leviticus|7:20  But the soul that eateth [of] the flesh of the sacrifice
 of peace offerings, that [pertain] unto the LORD, having his uncleanness
 upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
   Leviticus|7:21  Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean [thing,
 as] the uncleanness of man, or [any] unclean beast, or any abominable
 unclean [thing], and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings,
 which [pertain] unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his

 people.
   Leviticus|7:22  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|7:23  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat
 no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
   Leviticus|7:24  And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the
 fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye
 shall in no wise eat of it.
   Leviticus|7:25  For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men
 offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth
 [it] shall be cut off from his people.
   Leviticus|7:26  Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, [whether it be]
 of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
   Leviticus|7:27  Whatsoever soul [it be] that eateth any manner of blood,
 even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
   Leviticus|7:28  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|7:29  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that
 offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his
 oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
   Leviticus|7:30  His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made
 by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be
 waved [for] a wave offering before the LORD.

   Leviticus|7:31  And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the
 breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
   Leviticus|7:32  And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest
 [for] an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
   Leviticus|7:33  He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of
 the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for [his]
 part.
   Leviticus|7:34  For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken
 of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings,
 and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute
 for ever from among the children of Israel.
   Leviticus|7:35  This [is the portion] of the anointing of Aaron, and of
 the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire,
 in the day [when] he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the
 priest's office;
   Leviticus|7:36  Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children
 of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, [by] a statute for ever
 throughout their generations.
   Leviticus|7:37  This [is] the law of the burnt offering, of the meat
 offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the
 consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

   Leviticus|7:38  Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day
 that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the
 LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
   Leviticus|8:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|8:2  Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and
 the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a
 basket of unleavened bread;
   Leviticus|8:3  And gather thou all the congregation together unto the
 door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Leviticus|8:4  And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly
 was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Leviticus|8:5  And Moses said unto the congregation, This [is] the thing
 which the LORD commanded to be done.
   Leviticus|8:6  And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with
 water.
   Leviticus|8:7  And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the
 girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he
 girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound [it] unto him
 therewith.
   Leviticus|8:8  And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the
 breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.

   Leviticus|8:9  And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre,
 [even] upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as
 the LORD commanded Moses.
   Leviticus|8:10  And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the
 tabernacle and all that [was] therein, and sanctified them.
   Leviticus|8:11  And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and
 anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to
 sanctify them.
   Leviticus|8:12  And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and
 anointed him, to sanctify him.
   Leviticus|8:13  And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them,
 and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD
 commanded Moses.
   Leviticus|8:14  And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and
 Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the
 sin offering.
   Leviticus|8:15  And he slew [it]; and Moses took the blood, and put [it]
 upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the
 altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it,
 to make reconciliation upon it.
   Leviticus|8:16  And he took all the fat that [was] upon the inwards, and

 the caul [above] the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses
 burned [it] upon the altar.
   Leviticus|8:17  But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung,
 he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Leviticus|8:18  And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron
 and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
   Leviticus|8:19  And he killed [it]; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon
 the altar round about.
   Leviticus|8:20  And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head,
 and the pieces, and the fat.
   Leviticus|8:21  And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and
 Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it [was] a burnt sacrifice for a
 sweet savour, [and] an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD
 commanded Moses.
   Leviticus|8:22  And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration:
 and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
   Leviticus|8:23  And he slew [it]; and Moses took of the blood of it, and
 put [it] upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right
 hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
   Leviticus|8:24  And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood
 upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands,

 and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood
 upon the altar round about.
   Leviticus|8:25  And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that
 [was] upon the inwards, and the caul [above] the liver, and the two
 kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
   Leviticus|8:26  And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that [was]
 before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread,
 and one wafer, and put [them] on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
   Leviticus|8:27  And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons'
 hands, and waved them [for] a wave offering before the LORD.
   Leviticus|8:28  And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt
 [them] on the altar upon the burnt offering: they [were] consecrations for
 a sweet savour: it [is] an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|8:29  And Moses took the breast, and waved it [for] a wave
 offering before the LORD: [for] of the ram of consecration it was Moses'
 part; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Leviticus|8:30  And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood
 which [was] upon the altar, and sprinkled [it] upon Aaron, [and] upon his
 garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and
 sanctified Aaron, [and] his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments
 with him.

   Leviticus|8:31  And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh
 [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with
 the bread that [is] in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying,
 Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
   Leviticus|8:32  And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread
 shall ye burn with fire.
   Leviticus|8:33  And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of
 the congregation [in] seven days, until the days of your consecration be at
 an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
   Leviticus|8:34  As he hath done this day, [so] the LORD hath commanded to
 do, to make an atonement for you.
   Leviticus|8:35  Therefore shall ye abide [at] the door of the tabernacle
 of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the
 LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
   Leviticus|8:36  So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD
 commanded by the hand of Moses.
   Leviticus|9:1  And it came to pass on the eighth day, [that] Moses called
 Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
   Leviticus|9:2  And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin
 offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer [them]
 before the LORD.

   Leviticus|9:3  And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying,
 Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb,
 [both] of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
   Leviticus|9:4  Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice
 before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD
 will appear unto you.
   Leviticus|9:5  And they brought [that] which Moses commanded before the
 tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and
 stood before the LORD.
   Leviticus|9:6  And Moses said, This [is] the thing which the LORD
 commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto
 you.
   Leviticus|9:7  And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer
 thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for
 thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make
 an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
   Leviticus|9:8  Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of
 the sin offering, which [was] for himself.
   Leviticus|9:9  And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he
 dipped his finger in the blood, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar,
 and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:

   Leviticus|9:10  But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the
 liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded
 Moses.
   Leviticus|9:11  And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the
 camp.
   Leviticus|9:12  And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons
 presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the
 altar.
   Leviticus|9:13  And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the
 pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt [them] upon the altar.
   Leviticus|9:14  And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt
 [them] upon the burnt offering on the altar.
   Leviticus|9:15  And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat,
 which [was] the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it
 for sin, as the first.
   Leviticus|9:16  And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it
 according to the manner.
   Leviticus|9:17  And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful
 thereof, and burnt [it] upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the
 morning.
   Leviticus|9:18  He slew also the bullock and the ram [for] a sacrifice of

 peace offerings, which [was] for the people: and Aaron's sons presented
 unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
   Leviticus|9:19  And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and
 that which covereth [the inwards], and the kidneys, and the caul [above]
 the liver:
   Leviticus|9:20  And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the
 fat upon the altar:
   Leviticus|9:21  And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved [for]
 a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
   Leviticus|9:22  And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and
 blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the
 burnt offering, and peace offerings.
   Leviticus|9:23  And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the
 congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the
 LORD appeared unto all the people.
   Leviticus|9:24  And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and
 consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: [which] when all
 the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
   Leviticus|10:1  And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of
 them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered
 strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.

   Leviticus|10:2  And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them,
 and they died before the LORD.
   Leviticus|10:3  Then Moses said unto Aaron, This [is it] that the LORD
 spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before
 all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
   Leviticus|10:4  And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel
 the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from
 before the sanctuary out of the camp.
   Leviticus|10:5  So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of
 the camp; as Moses had said.
   Leviticus|10:6  And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto
 Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest
 ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the
 whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
   Leviticus|10:7  And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle
 of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD [is]
 upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
   Leviticus|10:8  And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
   Leviticus|10:9  Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons
 with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die:
 [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations:

   Leviticus|10:10  And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy,
 and between unclean and clean;
   Leviticus|10:11  And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the
 statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
   Leviticus|10:12  And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto
 Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of
 the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside
 the altar: for it [is] most holy:
   Leviticus|10:13  And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it [is]
 thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for
 so I am commanded.
   Leviticus|10:14  And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a
 clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for [they be]
 thy due, and thy sons' due, [which] are given out of the sacrifices of
 peace offerings of the children of Israel.
   Leviticus|10:15  The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring
 with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave [it for] a wave
 offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee,
 by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
   Leviticus|10:16  And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin
 offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and

 Ithamar, the sons of Aaron [which were] left [alive], saying,
   Leviticus|10:17  Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy
 place, seeing it [is] most holy, and [God] hath given it you to bear the
 iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
   Leviticus|10:18  Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the
 holy [place]: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy [place], as I
 commanded.
   Leviticus|10:19  And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they
 offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and
 such things have befallen me: and [if] I had eaten the sin offering to day,
 should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
   Leviticus|10:20  And when Moses heard [that], he was content.
   Leviticus|11:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto
 them,
   Leviticus|11:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These [are]
 the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that [are] on the earth.
   Leviticus|11:3  Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, [and]
 cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
   Leviticus|11:4  Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the
 cud, or of them that divide the hoof: [as] the camel, because he cheweth
 the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.

   Leviticus|11:5  And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth
 not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.
   Leviticus|11:6  And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth
 not the hoof; he [is] unclean unto you.
   Leviticus|11:7  And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be
 clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he [is] unclean to you.
   Leviticus|11:8  Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall
 ye not touch; they [are] unclean to you.
   Leviticus|11:9  These shall ye eat of all that [are] in the waters:
 whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the
 rivers, them shall ye eat.
   Leviticus|11:10  And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and
 in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing
 which [is] in the waters, they [shall be] an abomination unto you:
   Leviticus|11:11  They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not
 eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
   Leviticus|11:12  Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that
 [shall be] an abomination unto you.
   Leviticus|11:13  And these [are they which] ye shall have in abomination
 among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they [are] an abomination: the
 eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,

   Leviticus|11:14  And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
   Leviticus|11:15  Every raven after his kind;
   Leviticus|11:16  And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and the
 hawk after his kind,
   Leviticus|11:17  And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great
 owl,
   Leviticus|11:18  And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
   Leviticus|11:19  And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the
 lapwing, and the bat.
   Leviticus|11:20  All fowls that creep, going upon [all] four, [shall be]
 an abomination unto you.
   Leviticus|11:21  Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that
 goeth upon [all] four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal
 upon the earth;
   Leviticus|11:22  [Even] these of them ye may eat; the locust after his
 kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind,
 and the grasshopper after his kind.
   Leviticus|11:23  But all [other] flying creeping things, which have four
 feet, [shall be] an abomination unto you.
   Leviticus|11:24  And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth
 the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.

   Leviticus|11:25  And whosoever beareth [ought] of the carcase of them
 shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|11:26  [The carcases] of every beast which divideth the hoof,
 and [is] not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, [are] unclean unto you:
 every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
   Leviticus|11:27  And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of
 beasts that go on [all] four, those [are] unclean unto you: whoso toucheth
 their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|11:28  And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his
 clothes, and be unclean until the even: they [are] unclean unto you.
   Leviticus|11:29  These also [shall be] unclean unto you among the
 creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and
 the tortoise after his kind,
   Leviticus|11:30  And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and
 the snail, and the mole.
   Leviticus|11:31  These [are] unclean to you among all that creep:
 whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the
 even.
   Leviticus|11:32  And upon whatsoever [any] of them, when they are dead,
 doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether [it be] any vessel of wood, or
 raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel [it be], wherein [any] work is

 done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so
 it shall be cleansed.
   Leviticus|11:33  And every earthen vessel, whereinto [any] of them
 falleth, whatsoever [is] in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
   Leviticus|11:34  Of all meat which may be eaten, [that] on which [such]
 water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every
 [such] vessel shall be unclean.
   Leviticus|11:35  And every [thing] whereupon [any part] of their carcase
 falleth shall be unclean; [whether it be] oven, or ranges for pots, they
 shall be broken down: [for] they [are] unclean, and shall be unclean unto
 you.
   Leviticus|11:36  Nevertheless a fountain or pit, [wherein there is]
 plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase
 shall be unclean.
   Leviticus|11:37  And if [any part] of their carcase fall upon any sowing
 seed which is to be sown, it [shall be] clean.
   Leviticus|11:38  But if [any] water be put upon the seed, and [any part]
 of their carcase fall thereon, it [shall be] unclean unto you.
   Leviticus|11:39  And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that
 toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|11:40  And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his

 clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of
 it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|11:41  And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
 [shall be] an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
   Leviticus|11:42  Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth
 upon [all] four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things
 that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they [are] an
 abomination.
   Leviticus|11:43  Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any
 creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with
 them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
   Leviticus|11:44  For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore
 sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy: neither shall
 ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon
 the earth.
   Leviticus|11:45  For I [am] the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land
 of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I [am] holy.
   Leviticus|11:46  This [is] the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of
 every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that
 creepeth upon the earth:
   Leviticus|11:47  To make a difference between the unclean and the clean,

 and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be
 eaten.
   Leviticus|12:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|12:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman
 have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven
 days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she
 be unclean.
   Leviticus|12:3  And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be
 circumcised.
   Leviticus|12:4  And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying
 three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the
 sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
   Leviticus|12:5  But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean
 two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her
 purifying threescore and six days.
   Leviticus|12:6  And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a
 son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a
 burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering,
 unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
   Leviticus|12:7  Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement
 for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This [is]

 the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
   Leviticus|12:8  And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall
 bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering,
 and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement
 for her, and she shall be clean.
   Leviticus|13:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
   Leviticus|13:2  When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising,
 a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh [like] the
 plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto
 one of his sons the priests:
   Leviticus|13:3  And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of
 the flesh: and [when] the hair in the plague is turned white, and the
 plague in sight [be] deeper than the skin of his flesh, it [is] a plague of
 leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
   Leviticus|13:4  If the bright spot [be] white in the skin of his flesh,
 and in sight [be] not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not
 turned white; then the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the plague
 seven days:
   Leviticus|13:5  And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and,
 behold, [if] the plague in his sight be at a stay, [and] the plague spread
 not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:

   Leviticus|13:6  And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day:
 and, behold, [if] the plague [be] somewhat dark, [and] the plague spread
 not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it [is but] a scab:
 and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
   Leviticus|13:7  But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after
 that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of
 the priest again:
   Leviticus|13:8  And [if] the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth
 in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a
 leprosy.
   Leviticus|13:9  When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be
 brought unto the priest;
   Leviticus|13:10  And the priest shall see [him]: and, behold, [if] the
 rising [be] white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and
 [there be] quick raw flesh in the rising;
   Leviticus|13:11  It [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the
 priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he [is]
 unclean.
   Leviticus|13:12  And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the
 leprosy cover all the skin of [him that hath] the plague from his head even
 to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;

   Leviticus|13:13  Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, [if] the
 leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce [him] clean [that
 hath] the plague: it is all turned white: he [is] clean.
   Leviticus|13:14  But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be
 unclean.
   Leviticus|13:15  And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce
 him to be unclean: [for] the raw flesh [is] unclean: it [is] a leprosy.
   Leviticus|13:16  Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto
 white, he shall come unto the priest;
   Leviticus|13:17  And the priest shall see him: and, behold, [if] the
 plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean
 [that hath] the plague: he [is] clean.
   Leviticus|13:18  The flesh also, in which, [even] in the skin thereof,
 was a boil, and is healed,
   Leviticus|13:19  And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or
 a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the priest;
   Leviticus|13:20  And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it [be] in
 sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest
 shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague of leprosy broken out of the
 boil.
   Leviticus|13:21  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, [there be] no

 white hairs therein, and [if] it [be] not lower than the skin, but [be]
 somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
   Leviticus|13:22  And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the
 priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a plague.
   Leviticus|13:23  But if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread
 not, it [is] a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
   Leviticus|13:24  Or if there be [any] flesh, in the skin whereof [there
 is] a hot burning, and the quick [flesh] that burneth have a white bright
 spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
   Leviticus|13:25  Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, [if]
 the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it [be in] sight deeper
 than the skin; it [is] a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the
 priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] the plague of leprosy.
   Leviticus|13:26  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, [there be] no
 white hair in the bright spot, and it [be] no lower than the [other] skin,
 but [be] somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
   Leviticus|13:27  And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day:
 [and] if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall
 pronounce him unclean: it [is] the plague of leprosy.
   Leviticus|13:28  And if the bright spot stay in his place, [and] spread
 not in the skin, but it [be] somewhat dark; it [is] a rising of the

 burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it [is] an
 inflammation of the burning.
   Leviticus|13:29  If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the
 beard;
   Leviticus|13:30  Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it
 [be] in sight deeper than the skin; [and there be] in it a yellow thin
 hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it [is] a dry scall,
 [even] a leprosy upon the head or beard.
   Leviticus|13:31  And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and,
 behold, it [be] not in sight deeper than the skin, and [that there is] no
 black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the plague
 of the scall seven days:
   Leviticus|13:32  And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the
 plague: and, behold, [if] the scall spread not, and there be in it no
 yellow hair, and the scall [be] not in sight deeper than the skin;
   Leviticus|13:33  He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave;
 and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall seven days more:
   Leviticus|13:34  And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the
 scall: and, behold, [if] the scall be not spread in the skin, nor [be] in
 sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and
 he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

   Leviticus|13:35  But if the scall spread much in the skin after his
 cleansing;
   Leviticus|13:36  Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the
 scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he
 [is] unclean.
   Leviticus|13:37  But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and [that]
 there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he [is] clean:
 and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
   Leviticus|13:38  If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh
 bright spots, [even] white bright spots;
   Leviticus|13:39  Then the priest shall look: and, behold, [if] the bright
 spots in the skin of their flesh [be] darkish white; it [is] a freckled
 spot [that] groweth in the skin; he [is] clean.
   Leviticus|13:40  And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he [is]
 bald; [yet is] he clean.
   Leviticus|13:41  And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of
 his head toward his face, he [is] forehead bald: [yet is] he clean.
   Leviticus|13:42  And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a
 white reddish sore; it [is] a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his
 bald forehead.
   Leviticus|13:43  Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, [if]

 the rising of the sore [be] white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald
 forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
   Leviticus|13:44  He is a leprous man, he [is] unclean: the priest shall
 pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.
   Leviticus|13:45  And the leper in whom the plague [is], his clothes shall
 be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip,
 and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
   Leviticus|13:46  All the days wherein the plague [shall be] in him he
 shall be defiled; he [is] unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp
 [shall] his habitation [be].
   Leviticus|13:47  The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in,
 [whether it be] a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
   Leviticus|13:48  Whether [it be] in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of
 woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
   Leviticus|13:49  And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment,
 or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of
 skin; it [is] a plague of leprosy, and shall be showed unto the priest:
   Leviticus|13:50  And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up
 [it that hath] the plague seven days:
   Leviticus|13:51  And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if
 the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or

 in a skin, [or] in any work that is made of skin; the plague [is] a
 fretting leprosy; it [is] unclean.
   Leviticus|13:52  He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or
 woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is:
 for it [is] a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
   Leviticus|13:53  And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be
 not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any
 thing of skin;
   Leviticus|13:54  Then the priest shall command that they wash [the thing]
 wherein the plague [is], and he shall shut it up seven days more:
   Leviticus|13:55  And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it
 is washed: and, behold, [if] the plague have not changed his colour, and
 the plague be not spread; it [is] unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire;
 it [is] fret inward, [whether] it [be] bare within or without.
   Leviticus|13:56  And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague [be]
 somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the
 garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
   Leviticus|13:57  And if it appear still in the garment, either in the
 warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it [is] a spreading
 [plague]: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague [is] with fire.
   Leviticus|13:58  And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever

 thing of skin [it be], which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed
 from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
   Leviticus|13:59  This [is] the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment
 of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to
 pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
   Leviticus|14:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|14:2  This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his
 cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
   Leviticus|14:3  And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the
 priest shall look, and, behold, [if] the plague of leprosy be healed in the
 leper;
   Leviticus|14:4  Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to
 be cleansed two birds alive [and] clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and
 hyssop:
   Leviticus|14:5  And the priest shall command that one of the birds be
 killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
   Leviticus|14:6  As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar
 wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living
 bird in the blood of the bird [that was] killed over the running water:
   Leviticus|14:7  And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed
 from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let

 the living bird loose into the open field.
   Leviticus|14:8  And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and
 shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean:
 and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of
 his tent seven days.
   Leviticus|14:9  But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave
 all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair
 he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his
 flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
   Leviticus|14:10  And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without
 blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three
 tenth deals of fine flour [for] a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one
 log of oil.
   Leviticus|14:11  And the priest that maketh [him] clean shall present the
 man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, [at] the
 door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
   Leviticus|14:12  And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for
 a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them [for] a wave
 offering before the LORD:
   Leviticus|14:13  And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall
 kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the

 sin offering [is] the priest's, [so is] the trespass offering: it [is] most
 holy:
   Leviticus|14:14  And the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the
 trespass offering, and the priest shall put [it] upon the tip of the right
 ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand,
 and upon the great toe of his right foot:
   Leviticus|14:15  And the priest shall take [some] of the log of oil, and
 pour [it] into the palm of his own left hand:
   Leviticus|14:16  And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil
 that [is] in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger
 seven times before the LORD:
   Leviticus|14:17  And of the rest of the oil that [is] in his hand shall
 the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed,
 and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right
 foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:
   Leviticus|14:18  And the remnant of the oil that [is] in the priest's
 hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the
 priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
   Leviticus|14:19  And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an
 atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and
 afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:

   Leviticus|14:20  And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the
 meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for
 him, and he shall be clean.
   Leviticus|14:21  And if he [be] poor, and cannot get so much; then he
 shall take one lamb [for] a trespass offering to be waved, to make an
 atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a
 meat offering, and a log of oil;
   Leviticus|14:22  And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is
 able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt
 offering.
   Leviticus|14:23  And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his
 cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the
 congregation, before the LORD.
   Leviticus|14:24  And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass
 offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them [for] a wave
 offering before the LORD:
   Leviticus|14:25  And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and
 the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass offering, and put
 [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon
 the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
   Leviticus|14:26  And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of

 his own left hand:
   Leviticus|14:27  And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger
 [some] of the oil that [is] in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
   Leviticus|14:28  And the priest shall put of the oil that [is] in his
 hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon
 the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon
 the place of the blood of the trespass offering:
   Leviticus|14:29  And the rest of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand
 he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an
 atonement for him before the LORD.
   Leviticus|14:30  And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the
 young pigeons, such as he can get;
   Leviticus|14:31  [Even] such as he is able to get, the one [for] a sin
 offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and
 the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before
 the LORD.
   Leviticus|14:32  This [is] the law [of him] in whom [is] the plague of
 leprosy, whose hand is not able to get [that which pertaineth] to his
 cleansing.
   Leviticus|14:33  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   Leviticus|14:34  When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to

 you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the
 land of your possession;
   Leviticus|14:35  And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the
 priest, saying, It seemeth to me [there is] as it were a plague in the
 house:
   Leviticus|14:36  Then the priest shall command that they empty the house,
 before the priest go [into it] to see the plague, that all that [is] in the
 house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the
 house:
   Leviticus|14:37  And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the
 plague [be] in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or
 reddish, which in sight [are] lower than the wall;
   Leviticus|14:38  Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of
 the house, and shut up the house seven days:
   Leviticus|14:39  And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and
 shall look: and, behold, [if] the plague be spread in the walls of the
 house;
   Leviticus|14:40  Then the priest shall command that they take away the
 stones in which the plague [is], and they shall cast them into an unclean
 place without the city:
   Leviticus|14:41  And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round

 about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the
 city into an unclean place:
   Leviticus|14:42  And they shall take other stones, and put [them] in the
 place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster
 the house.
   Leviticus|14:43  And if the plague come again, and break out in the
 house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped
 the house, and after it is plastered;
   Leviticus|14:44  Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, [if]
 the plague be spread in the house, it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house:
 it [is] unclean.
   Leviticus|14:45  And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and
 the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house; and he shall carry
 [them] forth out of the city into an unclean place.
   Leviticus|14:46  Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that
 it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|14:47  And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes;
 and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
   Leviticus|14:48  And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it],
 and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was
 plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the

 plague is healed.
   Leviticus|14:49  And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and
 cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
   Leviticus|14:50  And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen
 vessel over running water:
   Leviticus|14:51  And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and
 the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain
 bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
   Leviticus|14:52  And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the
 bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the
 cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
   Leviticus|14:53  But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into
 the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be
 clean.
   Leviticus|14:54  This [is] the law for all manner of plague of leprosy,
 and scall,
   Leviticus|14:55  And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
   Leviticus|14:56  And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
   Leviticus|14:57  To teach when [it is] unclean, and when [it is] clean:
 this [is] the law of leprosy.
   Leviticus|15:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

   Leviticus|15:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
 When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, [because of] his issue
 he [is] unclean.
   Leviticus|15:3  And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether
 his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it
 [is] his uncleanness.
   Leviticus|15:4  Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is
 unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean.
   Leviticus|15:5  And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes,
 and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:6  And he that sitteth on [any] thing whereon he sat that
 hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be
 unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:7  And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue
 shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until
 the even.
   Leviticus|15:8  And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is
 clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be
 unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:9  And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue
 shall be unclean.

   Leviticus|15:10  And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him
 shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth [any of] those things
 shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until
 the even.
   Leviticus|15:11  And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath
 not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe
 [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:12  And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the
 issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
   Leviticus|15:13  And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue;
 then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his
 clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
   Leviticus|15:14  And on the eighth day he shall take to him two
 turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door
 of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
   Leviticus|15:15  And the priest shall offer them, the one [for] a sin
 offering, and the other [for] a burnt offering; and the priest shall make
 an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
   Leviticus|15:16  And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him,
 then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:17  And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed

 of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:18  The woman also with whom man shall lie [with] seed of
 copulation, they shall [both] bathe [themselves] in water, and be unclean
 until the even.
   Leviticus|15:19  And if a woman have an issue, [and] her issue in her
 flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth
 her shall be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:20  And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation
 shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
   Leviticus|15:21  And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes,
 and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:22  And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall
 wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the
 even.
   Leviticus|15:23  And if it [be] on [her] bed, or on any thing whereon she
 sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
   Leviticus|15:24  And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be
 upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth
 shall be unclean.
   Leviticus|15:25  And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out
 of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her

 separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the
 days of her separation: she [shall be] unclean.
   Leviticus|15:26  Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue
 shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth
 upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
   Leviticus|15:27  And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean,
 and shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean
 until the even.
   Leviticus|15:28  But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall
 number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
   Leviticus|15:29  And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two
 turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door
 of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Leviticus|15:30  And the priest shall offer the one [for] a sin offering,
 and the other [for] a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an
 atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
   Leviticus|15:31  Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their
 uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my
 tabernacle that [is] among them.
   Leviticus|15:32  This [is] the law of him that hath an issue, and [of
 him] whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;

   Leviticus|15:33  And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that
 hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her
 that is unclean.
   Leviticus|16:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two
 sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
   Leviticus|16:2  And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy
 brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the
 veil before the mercy seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I
 will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
   Leviticus|16:3  Thus shall Aaron come into the holy [place]: with a young
 bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
   Leviticus|16:4  He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have
 the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle,
 and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these [are] holy garments;
 therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and [so] put them on.
   Leviticus|16:5  And he shall take of the congregation of the children of
 Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt
 offering.
   Leviticus|16:6  And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering,
 which [is] for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his
 house.

   Leviticus|16:7  And he shall take the two goats, and present them before
 the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Leviticus|16:8  And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for
 the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
   Leviticus|16:9  And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot
 fell, and offer him [for] a sin offering.
   Leviticus|16:10  But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat,
 shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him,
 [and] to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
   Leviticus|16:11  And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering,
 which [is] for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for
 his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which [is] for
 himself:
   Leviticus|16:12  And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire
 from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense
 beaten small, and bring [it] within the veil:
   Leviticus|16:13  And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the
 LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that [is] upon
 the testimony, that he die not:
   Leviticus|16:14  And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and
 sprinkle [it] with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the

 mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
   Leviticus|16:15  Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that
 [is] for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with that
 blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the
 mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
   Leviticus|16:16  And he shall make an atonement for the holy [place],
 because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their
 transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of
 the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their
 uncleanness.
   Leviticus|16:17  And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the
 congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy [place],
 until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his
 household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
   Leviticus|16:18  And he shall go out unto the altar that [is] before the
 LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the
 bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put [it] upon the horns of the
 altar round about.
   Leviticus|16:19  And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his
 finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of
 the children of Israel.

   Leviticus|16:20  And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy
 [place], and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall
 bring the live goat:
   Leviticus|16:21  And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the
 live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of
 Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon
 the head of the goat, and shall send [him] away by the hand of a fit man
 into the wilderness:
   Leviticus|16:22  And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities
 unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
   Leviticus|16:23  And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the
 congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he
 went into the holy [place], and shall leave them there:
   Leviticus|16:24  And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy
 place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt
 offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for
 himself, and for the people.
   Leviticus|16:25  And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the
 altar.
   Leviticus|16:26  And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash
 his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the

 camp.
   Leviticus|16:27  And the bullock [for] the sin offering, and the goat
 [for] the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the
 holy [place], shall [one] carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn
 in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
   Leviticus|16:28  And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and
 bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
   Leviticus|16:29  And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you: [that]
 in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict
 your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country,
 or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
   Leviticus|16:30  For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for
 you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the
 LORD.
   Leviticus|16:31  It [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall
 afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
   Leviticus|16:32  And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall
 consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall
 make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, [even] the holy
 garments:
   Leviticus|16:33  And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary,

 and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and
 for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all
 the people of the congregation.
   Leviticus|16:34  And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to
 make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a
 year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Leviticus|17:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|17:2  Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the
 children of Israel, and say unto them; This [is] the thing which the LORD
 hath commanded, saying,
   Leviticus|17:3  What man soever [there be] of the house of Israel, that
 killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth [it] out of
 the camp,
   Leviticus|17:4  And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of
 the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle
 of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and
 that man shall be cut off from among his people:
   Leviticus|17:5  To the end that the children of Israel may bring their
 sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring
 them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
 unto the priest, and offer them [for] peace offerings unto the LORD.

   Leviticus|17:6  And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of
 the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the
 fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|17:7  And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto
 devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for
 ever unto them throughout their generations.
   Leviticus|17:8  And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man [there be]
 of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that
 offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
   Leviticus|17:9  And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of
 the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off
 from among his people.
   Leviticus|17:10  And whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel, or
 of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I
 will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him
 off from among his people.
   Leviticus|17:11  For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have
 given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it
 [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul.
   Leviticus|17:12  Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of
 you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you

 eat blood.
   Leviticus|17:13  And whatsoever man [there be] of the children of Israel,
 or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any
 beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof,
 and cover it with dust.
   Leviticus|17:14  For [it is] the life of all flesh; the blood of it [is]
 for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye
 shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh [is]
 the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
   Leviticus|17:15  And every soul that eateth that which died [of itself],
 or that which was torn [with beasts, whether it be] one of your own
 country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself]
 in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
   Leviticus|17:16  But if he wash [them] not, nor bathe his flesh; then he
 shall bear his iniquity.
   Leviticus|18:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|18:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I
 am the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|18:3  After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt,
 shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I
 bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.

   Leviticus|18:4  Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to
 walk therein: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|18:5  Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments:
 which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|18:6  None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to
 him, to uncover [their] nakedness: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|18:7  The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy
 mother, shalt thou not uncover: she [is] thy mother; thou shalt not uncover
 her nakedness.
   Leviticus|18:8  The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not
 uncover: it [is] thy father's nakedness.
   Leviticus|18:9  The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father,
 or daughter of thy mother, [whether she be] born at home, or born abroad,
 [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
   Leviticus|18:10  The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy
 daughter's daughter, [even] their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for
 theirs [is] thine own nakedness.
   Leviticus|18:11  The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten
 of thy father, she [is] thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
   Leviticus|18:12  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's
 sister: she [is] thy father's near kinswoman.

   Leviticus|18:13  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
 sister; for she [is] thy mother's near kinswoman.
   Leviticus|18:14  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's
 brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she [is] thine aunt.
   Leviticus|18:15  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in
 law: she [is] thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
   Leviticus|18:16  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's
 wife: it [is] thy brother's nakedness.
   Leviticus|18:17  Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her
 daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's
 daughter, to uncover her nakedness; [for] they [are] her near kinswomen: it
 [is] wickedness.
   Leviticus|18:18  Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex
 [her], to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life [time].
   Leviticus|18:19  Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her
 nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
   Leviticus|18:20  Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy
 neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
   Leviticus|18:21  And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through [the
 fire] to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the
 LORD.

   Leviticus|18:22  Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it
 [is] abomination.
   Leviticus|18:23  Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself
 therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down
 thereto: it [is] confusion.
   Leviticus|18:24  Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in
 all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
   Leviticus|18:25  And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the
 iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
   Leviticus|18:26  Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments,
 and shall not commit [any] of these abominations; [neither] any of your own
 nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
   Leviticus|18:27  (For all these abominations have the men of the land
 done, which [were] before you, and the land is defiled;)
   Leviticus|18:28  That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it,
 as it spued out the nations that [were] before you.
   Leviticus|18:29  For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations,
 even the souls that commit [them] shall be cut off from among their people.
   Leviticus|18:30  Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that [ye] commit
 not [any one] of these abominable customs, which were committed before you,
 and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I [am] the LORD your God.

   Leviticus|19:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|19:2  Speak unto all the congregation of the children of
 Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God [am]
 holy.
   Leviticus|19:3  Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and
 keep my sabbaths: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|19:4  Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten
 gods: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|19:5  And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the
 LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
   Leviticus|19:6  It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the
 morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the
 fire.
   Leviticus|19:7  And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it [is]
 abominable; it shall not be accepted.
   Leviticus|19:8  Therefore [every one] that eateth it shall bear his
 iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that
 soul shall be cut off from among his people.
   Leviticus|19:9  And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not
 wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the
 gleanings of thy harvest.

   Leviticus|19:10  And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt
 thou gather [every] grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the
 poor and stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|19:11  Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie
 one to another.
   Leviticus|19:12  And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt
 thou profane the name of thy God: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|19:13  Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob [him]:
 the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until
 the morning.
   Leviticus|19:14  Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock
 before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|19:15  Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt
 not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty:
 [but] in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
   Leviticus|19:16  Thou shalt not go up and down [as] a talebearer among
 thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I
 [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|19:17  Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou
 shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
   Leviticus|19:18  Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the

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

   Leviticus|19:25  And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof,
 that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|19:26  Ye shall not eat [any thing] with the blood: neither
 shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.
   Leviticus|19:27  Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither
 shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
   Leviticus|19:28  Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the
 dead, nor print any marks upon you: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|19:29  Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a
 whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of
 wickedness.
   Leviticus|19:30  Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I
 [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|19:31  Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek
 after wizards, to be defiled by them: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|19:32  Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the
 face of the old man, and fear thy God: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|19:33  And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye
 shall not vex him.
   Leviticus|19:34  [But] the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto
 you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were

 strangers in the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|19:35  Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard,
 in weight, or in measure.
   Leviticus|19:36  Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just
 hin, shall ye have: I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the
 land of Egypt.
   Leviticus|19:37  Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my
 judgments, and do them: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|20:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|20:2  Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel,
 Whosoever [he be] of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that
 sojourn in Israel, that giveth [any] of his seed unto Molech; he shall
 surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
   Leviticus|20:3  And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him
 off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech,
 to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
   Leviticus|20:4  And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes
 from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
   Leviticus|20:5  Then I will set my face against that man, and against his
 family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to
 commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.

   Leviticus|20:6  And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar
 spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my
 face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
   Leviticus|20:7  Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I [am]
 the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|20:8  And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I [am] the
 LORD which sanctify you.
   Leviticus|20:9  For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall
 be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood
 [shall be] upon him.
   Leviticus|20:10  And the man that committeth adultery with [another]
 man's wife, [even he] that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife,
 the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.
   Leviticus|20:11  And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath
 uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to
 death; their blood [shall be] upon them.
   Leviticus|20:12  And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them
 shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood
 [shall be] upon them.
   Leviticus|20:13  If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a
 woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put

 to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.
   Leviticus|20:14  And if a man take a wife and her mother, it [is]
 wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be
 no wickedness among you.
   Leviticus|20:15  And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to
 death: and ye shall slay the beast.
   Leviticus|20:16  And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down
 thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put
 to death; their blood [shall be] upon them.
   Leviticus|20:17  And if a man shall take his sister, his father's
 daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his
 nakedness; it [is] a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight
 of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear
 his iniquity.
   Leviticus|20:18  And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness,
 and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she
 hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off
 from among their people.
   Leviticus|20:19  And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's
 sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they
 shall bear their iniquity.

   Leviticus|20:20  And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath
 uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die
 childless.
   Leviticus|20:21  And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it [is] an
 unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be
 childless.
   Leviticus|20:22  Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my
 judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell
 therein, spue you not out.
   Leviticus|20:23  And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation,
 which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and
 therefore I abhorred them.
   Leviticus|20:24  But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land,
 and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk
 and honey: I [am] the LORD your God, which have separated you from [other]
 people.
   Leviticus|20:25  Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts
 and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make
 your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living
 thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as
 unclean.

   Leviticus|20:26  And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD [am] holy,
 and have severed you from [other] people, that ye should be mine.
   Leviticus|20:27  A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that
 is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with
 stones: their blood [shall be] upon them.
   Leviticus|21:1  And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the
 sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead
 among his people:
   Leviticus|21:2  But for his kin, that is near unto him, [that is], for
 his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and
 for his brother,
   Leviticus|21:3  And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which
 hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
   Leviticus|21:4  [But] he shall not defile himself, [being] a chief man
 among his people, to profane himself.
   Leviticus|21:5  They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither
 shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in
 their flesh.
   Leviticus|21:6  They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the
 name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, [and] the
 bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy.

   Leviticus|21:7  They shall not take a wife [that is] a whore, or profane;
 neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he [is] holy
 unto his God.
   Leviticus|21:8  Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the
 bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which
 sanctify you, [am] holy.
   Leviticus|21:9  And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by
 playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
   Leviticus|21:10  And [he that is] the high priest among his brethren,
 upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to
 put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes;
   Leviticus|21:11  Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile
 himself for his father, or for his mother;
   Leviticus|21:12  Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane
 the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God
 [is] upon him: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|21:13  And he shall take a wife in her virginity.
   Leviticus|21:14  A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, [or] an
 harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own
 people to wife.
   Leviticus|21:15  Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for

 I the LORD do sanctify him.
   Leviticus|21:16  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|21:17  Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever [he be] of thy seed
 in their generations that hath [any] blemish, let him not approach to offer
 the bread of his God.
   Leviticus|21:18  For whatsoever man [he be] that hath a blemish, he shall
 not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any
 thing superfluous,
   Leviticus|21:19  Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
   Leviticus|21:20  Or crookbacked, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in
 his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
   Leviticus|21:21  No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the
 priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he
 hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
   Leviticus|21:22  He shall eat the bread of his God, [both] of the most
 holy, and of the holy.
   Leviticus|21:23  Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh
 unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my
 sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
   Leviticus|21:24  And Moses told [it] unto Aaron, and to his sons, and
 unto all the children of Israel.

   Leviticus|22:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|22:2  Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate
 themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they
 profane not my holy name [in those things] which they hallow unto me: I
 [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|22:3  Say unto them, Whosoever [he be] of all your seed among
 your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of
 Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul
 shall be cut off from my presence: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|22:4  What man soever of the seed of Aaron [is] a leper, or
 hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be
 clean. And whoso toucheth any thing [that is] unclean [by] the dead, or a
 man whose seed goeth from him;
   Leviticus|22:5  Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may
 be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever
 uncleanness he hath;
   Leviticus|22:6  The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean
 until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh
 with water.
   Leviticus|22:7  And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall
 afterward eat of the holy things; because it [is] his food.

   Leviticus|22:8  That which dieth of itself, or is torn [with beasts], he
 shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|22:9  They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear
 sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify
 them.
   Leviticus|22:10  There shall no stranger eat [of] the holy thing: a
 sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat [of] the holy
 thing.
   Leviticus|22:11  But if the priest buy [any] soul with his money, he
 shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his
 meat.
   Leviticus|22:12  If the priest's daughter also be [married] unto a
 stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
   Leviticus|22:13  But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced,
 and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her
 youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat
 thereof.
   Leviticus|22:14  And if a man eat [of] the holy thing unwittingly, then
 he shall put the fifth [part] thereof unto it, and shall give [it] unto the
 priest with the holy thing.
   Leviticus|22:15  And they shall not profane the holy things of the

 children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
   Leviticus|22:16  Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when
 they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
   Leviticus|22:17  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|22:18  Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the
 children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever [he be] of the house of
 Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all
 his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto
 the LORD for a burnt offering;
   Leviticus|22:19  [Ye shall offer] at your own will a male without
 blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
   Leviticus|22:20  [But] whatsoever hath a blemish, [that] shall ye not
 offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
   Leviticus|22:21  And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings
 unto the LORD to accomplish [his] vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or
 sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish
 therein.
   Leviticus|22:22  Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy,
 or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by
 fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|22:23  Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing

 superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer [for] a
 freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
   Leviticus|22:24  Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised,
 or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make [any offering thereof]
 in your land.
   Leviticus|22:25  Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread
 of your God of any of these; because their corruption [is] in them, [and]
 blemishes [be] in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
   Leviticus|22:26  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|22:27  When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth,
 then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and
 thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the
 LORD.
   Leviticus|22:28  And [whether it be] cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and
 her young both in one day.
   Leviticus|22:29  And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto
 the LORD, offer [it] at your own will.
   Leviticus|22:30  On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave
 none of it until the morrow: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|22:31  Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I
 [am] the LORD.

   Leviticus|22:32  Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be
 hallowed among the children of Israel: I [am] the LORD which hallow you,
   Leviticus|22:33  That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your
 God: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|23:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|23:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
 [Concerning] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy
 convocations, [even] these [are] my feasts.
   Leviticus|23:3  Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [is] the
 sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work [therein]: it
 [is] the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
   Leviticus|23:4  These [are] the feasts of the LORD, [even] holy
 convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
   Leviticus|23:5  In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is]
 the LORD's passover.
   Leviticus|23:6  And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast
 of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
   Leviticus|23:7  In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye
 shall do no servile work therein.
   Leviticus|23:8  But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD
 seven days: in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no

 servile work [therein].
   Leviticus|23:9  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|23:10  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
 When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the
 harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your
 harvest unto the priest:
   Leviticus|23:11  And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be
 accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
   Leviticus|23:12  And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he
 lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|23:13  And the meat offering thereof [shall be] two tenth deals
 of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD
 [for] a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof [shall be] of wine,
 the fourth [part] of an hin.
   Leviticus|23:14  And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor
 green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto
 your God: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in
 all your dwellings.
   Leviticus|23:15  And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the
 sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven
 sabbaths shall be complete:

   Leviticus|23:16  Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye
 number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|23:17  Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves
 of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with
 leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|23:18  And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without
 blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall
 be [for] a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and
 their drink offerings, [even] an offering made by fire, of sweet savour
 unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|23:19  Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin
 offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace
 offerings.
   Leviticus|23:20  And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the
 firstfruits [for] a wave offering before the LORD with the two lambs: they
 shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
   Leviticus|23:21  And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, [that] it may
 be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work [therein: it
 shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your
 generations.
   Leviticus|23:22  And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt

 not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest,
 neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave
 them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|23:23  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|23:24  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the
 seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a
 memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
   Leviticus|23:25  Ye shall do no servile work [therein]: but ye shall
 offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|23:26  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|23:27  Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there
 shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and
 ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the
 LORD.
   Leviticus|23:28  And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a
 day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|23:29  For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted
 in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
   Leviticus|23:30  And whatsoever soul [it be] that doeth any work in that
 same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
   Leviticus|23:31  Ye shall do no manner of work: [it shall be] a statute

 for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
   Leviticus|23:32  It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall
 afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even unto
 even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
   Leviticus|23:33  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|23:34  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth
 day of this seventh month [shall be] the feast of tabernacles [for] seven
 days unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|23:35  On the first day [shall be] an holy convocation: ye
 shall do no servile work [therein].
   Leviticus|23:36  Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
 the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye
 shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a solemn
 assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [therein].
   Leviticus|23:37  These [are] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall
 proclaim [to be] holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto
 the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink
 offerings, every thing upon his day:
   Leviticus|23:38  Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts,
 and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye
 give unto the LORD.

   Leviticus|23:39  Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye
 have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD
 seven days: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth day
 [shall be] a sabbath.
   Leviticus|23:40  And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of
 goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and
 willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven
 days.
   Leviticus|23:41  And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in
 the year. [It shall be] a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall
 celebrate it in the seventh month.
   Leviticus|23:42  Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are
 Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
   Leviticus|23:43  That your generations may know that I made the children
 of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt:
 I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|23:44  And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the
 feasts of the LORD.
   Leviticus|24:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|24:2  Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee
 pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn

 continually.
   Leviticus|24:3  Without the veil of the testimony, in the tabernacle of
 the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning
 before the LORD continually: [it shall be] a statute for ever in your
 generations.
   Leviticus|24:4  He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before
 the LORD continually.
   Leviticus|24:5  And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes
 thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
   Leviticus|24:6  And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon
 the pure table before the LORD.
   Leviticus|24:7  And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon [each] row,
 that it may be on the bread for a memorial, [even] an offering made by fire
 unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|24:8  Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD
 continually, [being taken] from the children of Israel by an everlasting
 covenant.
   Leviticus|24:9  And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat
 it in the holy place: for it [is] most holy unto him of the offerings of
 the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
   Leviticus|24:10  And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father [was]

 an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the
 Israelitish [woman] and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
   Leviticus|24:11  And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name [of
 the LORD], and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's
 name [was] Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
   Leviticus|24:12  And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD
 might be showed them.
   Leviticus|24:13  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|24:14  Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and
 let all that heard [him] lay their hands upon his head, and let all the
 congregation stone him.
   Leviticus|24:15  And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel,
 saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
   Leviticus|24:16  And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall
 surely be put to death, [and] all the congregation shall certainly stone
 him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he
 blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death.
   Leviticus|24:17  And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to
 death.
   Leviticus|24:18  And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast
 for beast.

   Leviticus|24:19  And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he
 hath done, so shall it be done to him;
   Leviticus|24:20  Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he
 hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him [again].
   Leviticus|24:21  And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he
 that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
   Leviticus|24:22  Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the
 stranger, as for one of your own country: for I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|24:23  And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they
 should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with
 stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Leviticus|25:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
   Leviticus|25:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
 When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a
 sabbath unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|25:3  Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou
 shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
   Leviticus|25:4  But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto
 the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor
 prune thy vineyard.
   Leviticus|25:5  That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou

 shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: [for] it
 is a year of rest unto the land.
   Leviticus|25:6  And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for
 thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and
 for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
   Leviticus|25:7  And for thy cattle, and for the beast that [are] in thy
 land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
   Leviticus|25:8  And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee,
 seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall
 be unto thee forty and nine years.
   Leviticus|25:9  Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound
 on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye
 make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
   Leviticus|25:10  And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim
 liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it
 shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his
 possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
   Leviticus|25:11  A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall
 not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the
 grapes] in it of thy vine undressed.
   Leviticus|25:12  For it [is] the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye

 shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
   Leviticus|25:13  In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man
 unto his possession.
   Leviticus|25:14  And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest
 [ought] of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
   Leviticus|25:15  According to the number of years after the jubilee thou
 shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according unto the number of years of the
 fruits he shall sell unto thee:
   Leviticus|25:16  According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase
 the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt
 diminish the price of it: for [according] to the number [of the years] of
 the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
   Leviticus|25:17  Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou
 shalt fear thy God: for I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|25:18  Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my
 judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
   Leviticus|25:19  And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat
 your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
   Leviticus|25:20  And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year?
 behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
   Leviticus|25:21  Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth

 year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
   Leviticus|25:22  And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat [yet] of old
 fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat [of] the
 old [store].
   Leviticus|25:23  The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is]
 mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me.
   Leviticus|25:24  And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a
 redemption for the land.
   Leviticus|25:25  If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away [some]
 of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he
 redeem that which his brother sold.
   Leviticus|25:26  And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be
 able to redeem it;
   Leviticus|25:27  Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and
 restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return
 unto his possession.
   Leviticus|25:28  But if he be not able to restore [it] to him, then that
 which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the
 year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return
 unto his possession.
   Leviticus|25:29  And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city,

 then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; [within] a full
 year may he redeem it.
   Leviticus|25:30  And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full
 year, then the house that [is] in the walled city shall be established for
 ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out
 in the jubilee.
   Leviticus|25:31  But the houses of the villages which have no wall round
 about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be
 redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
   Leviticus|25:32  Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, [and] the
 houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any
 time.
   Leviticus|25:33  And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house
 that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in [the year
 of] jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites [are] their
 possession among the children of Israel.
   Leviticus|25:34  But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be
 sold; for it [is] their perpetual possession.
   Leviticus|25:35  And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay
 with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: [yea, though he be] a stranger, or
 a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

   Leviticus|25:36  Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy
 God; that thy brother may live with thee.
   Leviticus|25:37  Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend
 him thy victuals for increase.
   Leviticus|25:38  I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of
 the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, [and] to be your God.
   Leviticus|25:39  And if thy brother [that dwelleth] by thee be waxen
 poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a
 bondservant:
   Leviticus|25:40  [But] as an hired servant, [and] as a sojourner, he
 shall be with thee, [and] shall serve thee unto the year of jubilee:
   Leviticus|25:41  And [then] shall he depart from thee, [both] he and his
 children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the
 possession of his fathers shall he return.
   Leviticus|25:42  For they [are] my servants, which I brought forth out of
 the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
   Leviticus|25:43  Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear
 thy God.
   Leviticus|25:44  Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt
 have, [shall be] of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye
 buy bondmen and bondmaids.

   Leviticus|25:45  Moreover of the children of the strangers that do
 sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that [are]
 with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
   Leviticus|25:46  And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your
 children after you, to inherit [them for] a possession; they shall be your
 bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall
 not rule one over another with rigour.
   Leviticus|25:47  And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy
 brother [that dwelleth] by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger
 [or] sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
   Leviticus|25:48  After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of
 his brethren may redeem him:
   Leviticus|25:49  Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or
 [any] that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he
 be able, he may redeem himself.
   Leviticus|25:50  And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the
 year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his
 sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of
 an hired servant shall it be with him.
   Leviticus|25:51  If [there be] yet many years [behind], according unto
 them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that

 he was bought for.
   Leviticus|25:52  And if there remain but few years unto the year of
 jubilee, then he shall count with him, [and] according unto his years shall
 he give him again the price of his redemption.
   Leviticus|25:53  [And] as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him:
 [and the other] shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
   Leviticus|25:54  And if he be not redeemed in these [years], then he
 shall go out in the year of jubilee, [both] he, and his children with him.
   Leviticus|25:55  For unto me the children of Israel [are] servants; they
 [are] my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the
 LORD your God.
   Leviticus|26:1  Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear
 you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in
 your land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God.
   Leviticus|26:2  Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I
 [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|26:3  If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and
 do them;
   Leviticus|26:4  Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land
 shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their
 fruit.

   Leviticus|26:5  And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the
 vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to
 the full, and dwell in your land safely.
   Leviticus|26:6  And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down,
 and none shall make [you] afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the
 land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
   Leviticus|26:7  And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall
 before you by the sword.
   Leviticus|26:8  And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of
 you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before
 you by the sword.
   Leviticus|26:9  For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful,
 and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
   Leviticus|26:10  And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old
 because of the new.
   Leviticus|26:11  And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul
 shall not abhor you.
   Leviticus|26:12  And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye
 shall be my people.
   Leviticus|26:13  I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of
 the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken

 the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
   Leviticus|26:14  But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all
 these commandments;
   Leviticus|26:15  And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul
 abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, [but] that
 ye break my covenant:
   Leviticus|26:16  I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over
 you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes,
 and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your
 enemies shall eat it.
   Leviticus|26:17  And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be
 slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye
 shall flee when none pursueth you.
   Leviticus|26:18  And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me,
 then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
   Leviticus|26:19  And I will break the pride of your power; and I will
 make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
   Leviticus|26:20  And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land
 shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield
 their fruits.
   Leviticus|26:21  And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken

 unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your
 sins.
   Leviticus|26:22  I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob
 you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number;
 and your [high] ways shall be desolate.
   Leviticus|26:23  And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things,
 but will walk contrary unto me;
   Leviticus|26:24  Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish
 you yet seven times for your sins.
   Leviticus|26:25  And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the
 quarrel of [my] covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your
 cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered
 into the hand of the enemy.
   Leviticus|26:26  [And] when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten
 women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your
 bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
   Leviticus|26:27  And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but
 walk contrary unto me;
   Leviticus|26:28  Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I,
 even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
   Leviticus|26:29  And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh

 of your daughters shall ye eat.
   Leviticus|26:30  And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your
 images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul
 shall abhor you.
   Leviticus|26:31  And I will make your cities waste, and bring your
 sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet
 odours.
   Leviticus|26:32  And I will bring the land into desolation: and your
 enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
   Leviticus|26:33  And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw
 out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities
 waste.
   Leviticus|26:34  Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it
 lieth desolate, and ye [be] in your enemies' land; [even] then shall the
 land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
   Leviticus|26:35  As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it
 did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
   Leviticus|26:36  And upon them that are left [alive] of you I will send a
 faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of
 a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a
 sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

   Leviticus|26:37  And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before
 a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before
 your enemies.
   Leviticus|26:38  And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of
 your enemies shall eat you up.
   Leviticus|26:39  And they that are left of you shall pine away in their
 iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their
 fathers shall they pine away with them.
   Leviticus|26:40  If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity
 of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and
 that also they have walked contrary unto me;
   Leviticus|26:41  And [that] I also have walked contrary unto them, and
 have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their
 uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of
 their iniquity:
   Leviticus|26:42  Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my
 covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and
 I will remember the land.
   Leviticus|26:43  The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her
 sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of
 the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my

 judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
   Leviticus|26:44  And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their
 enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy
 them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I [am] the LORD their
 God.
   Leviticus|26:45  But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of
 their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight
 of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.
   Leviticus|26:46  These [are] the statutes and judgments and laws, which
 the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the
 hand of Moses.
   Leviticus|27:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Leviticus|27:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
 When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons [shall be] for the LORD
 by thy estimation.
   Leviticus|27:3  And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years
 old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels
 of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
   Leviticus|27:4  And if it [be] a female, then thy estimation shall be
 thirty shekels.
   Leviticus|27:5  And if [it be] from five years old even unto twenty years

 old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the
 female ten shekels.
   Leviticus|27:6  And if [it be] from a month old even unto five years old,
 then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for
 the female thy estimation [shall be] three shekels of silver.
   Leviticus|27:7  And if [it be] from sixty years old and above; if [it be]
 a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female
 ten shekels.
   Leviticus|27:8  But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall
 present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him;
 according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
   Leviticus|27:9  And if [it be] a beast, whereof men bring an offering
 unto the LORD, all that [any man] giveth of such unto the LORD shall be
 holy.
   Leviticus|27:10  He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad,
 or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it
 and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
   Leviticus|27:11  And if [it be] any unclean beast, of which they do not
 offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the
 priest:
   Leviticus|27:12  And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or

 bad: as thou valuest it, [who art] the priest, so shall it be.
   Leviticus|27:13  But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a
 fifth [part] thereof unto thy estimation.
   Leviticus|27:14  And when a man shall sanctify his house [to be] holy
 unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or
 bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
   Leviticus|27:15  And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then
 he shall add the fifth [part] of the money of thy estimation unto it, and
 it shall be his.
   Leviticus|27:16  And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD [some part] of
 a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the
 seed thereof: an homer of barley seed [shall be valued] at fifty shekels of
 silver.
   Leviticus|27:17  If he sanctify his field from the year of jubilee,
 according to thy estimation it shall stand.
   Leviticus|27:18  But if he sanctify his field after the jubilee, then the
 priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain,
 even unto the year of the jubilee, and it shall be abated from thy
 estimation.
   Leviticus|27:19  And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise
 redeem it, then he shall add the fifth [part] of the money of thy

 estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
   Leviticus|27:20  And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold
 the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
   Leviticus|27:21  But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee, shall
 be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be
 the priest's.
   Leviticus|27:22  And if [a man] sanctify unto the LORD a field which he
 hath bought, which [is] not of the fields of his possession;
   Leviticus|27:23  Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy
 estimation, [even] unto the year of the jubilee: and he shall give thine
 estimation in that day, [as] a holy thing unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|27:24  In the year of the jubilee the field shall return unto
 him of whom it was bought, [even] to him to whom the possession of the land
 [did belong].
   Leviticus|27:25  And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel
 of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
   Leviticus|27:26  Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the
 LORD'S firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether [it be] ox, or sheep:
 it [is] the LORD'S.
   Leviticus|27:27  And if [it be] of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem
 [it] according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth [part] of it

 thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy
 estimation.
   Leviticus|27:28  Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall
 devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, [both] of man and beast, and of
 the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing
 [is] most holy unto the LORD.
   Leviticus|27:29  None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be
 redeemed; [but] shall surely be put to death.
   Leviticus|27:30  And all the tithe of the land, [whether] of the seed of
 the land, [or] of the fruit of the tree, [is] the LORD'S: [it is] holy unto
 the LORD.
   Leviticus|27:31  And if a man will at all redeem [ought] of his tithes,
 he shall add thereto the fifth [part] thereof.
   Leviticus|27:32  And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock,
 [even] of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto
 the LORD.
   Leviticus|27:33  He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither
 shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change
 thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
   Leviticus|27:34  These [are] the commandments, which the LORD commanded
 Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

   Numbers|1:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
 the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first [day] of the second month,
 in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
   Numbers|1:2  Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of
 Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the
 number of [their] names, every male by their polls;
   Numbers|1:3  From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go
 forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies.
   Numbers|1:4  And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one
 head of the house of his fathers.

 [their] names:
   Numbers|1:18  And they assembled all the congregation together on the
 first [day] of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after
 their families, by the house of their fathers, according to the number of
 the names, from twenty years old and upward, by their polls.
   Numbers|1:19  As the LORD commanded Moses, so he numbered them in the
 wilderness of Sinai.
   Numbers|1:20  And the children of Reuben, Israel's eldest son, by their
 generations, after their families, by the house of their fathers, according
 to the number of the names, by their polls, every male from twenty years

   Numbers|1:44  These [are] those that were numbered, which Moses and Aaron
 numbered, and the princes of Israel, [being] twelve men: each one was for
 the house of his fathers.
   Numbers|1:45  So were all those that were numbered of the children of
 Israel, by the house of their fathers, from twenty years old and upward,
 all that were able to go forth to war in Israel;
   Numbers|1:46  Even all they that were numbered were six hundred thousand
 and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
   Numbers|1:47  But the Levites after the tribe of their fathers were not
 numbered among them.
   Numbers|1:48  For the LORD had spoken unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|1:49  Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take
 the sum of them among the children of Israel:
   Numbers|1:50  But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of
 testimony, and over all the vessels thereof, and over all things that
 [belong] to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all the vessels
 thereof; and they shall minister unto it, and shall encamp round about the
 tabernacle.
   Numbers|1:51  And when the tabernacle setteth forward, the Levites shall
 take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall
 set it up: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

   Numbers|1:52  And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every
 man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their
 hosts.
   Numbers|1:53  But the Levites shall pitch round about the tabernacle of
 testimony, that there be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of
 Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of
 testimony.
   Numbers|1:54  And the children of Israel did according to all that the
 LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
   Numbers|2:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   Numbers|2:2  Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own
 standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the
 tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch.
   Numbers|2:3  And on the east side toward the rising of the sun shall they
 of the standard of the camp of Judah pitch throughout their armies: and
 Nahshon the son of Amminadab [shall be] captain of the children of Judah.
   Numbers|2:4  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
 threescore and fourteen thousand and six hundred.
   Numbers|2:5  And those that do pitch next unto him [shall be] the tribe
 of Issachar: and Nethaneel the son of Zuar [shall be] captain of the
 children of Issachar.

   Numbers|2:6  And his host, and those that were numbered thereof, [were]
 fifty and four thousand and four hundred.

 [shall be] Elizur the son of Shedeur.

 forty and six thousand and five hundred.
   Numbers|2:12  And those which pitch by him [shall be] the tribe of
 Simeon: and the captain of the children of Simeon [shall be] Shelumiel the
 son of Zurishaddai.
   Numbers|2:13  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
 fifty and nine thousand and three hundred.
   Numbers|2:14  Then the tribe of Gad: and the captain of the sons of Gad
 [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Reuel.

   Numbers|2:15  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
 forty and five thousand and six hundred and fifty.
   Numbers|2:16  All that were numbered in the camp of Reuben [were] an
 hundred thousand and fifty and one thousand and four hundred and fifty,
 throughout their armies. And they shall set forth in the second rank.
   Numbers|2:17  Then the tabernacle of the congregation shall set forward
 with the camp of the Levites in the midst of the camp: as they encamp, so
 shall they set forward, every man in his place by their standards.
   Numbers|2:18  On the west side [shall be] the standard of the camp of
 Ephraim according to their armies: and the captain of the sons of Ephraim
 [shall be] Elishama the son of Ammihud.
   Numbers|2:19  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
 forty thousand and five hundred.
   Numbers|2:20  And by him [shall be] the tribe of Manasseh: and the

 Pedahzur.
   Numbers|2:21  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
 thirty and two thousand and two hundred.
   Numbers|2:22  Then the tribe of Benjamin: and the captain of the sons of
 Benjamin [shall be] Abidan the son of Gideoni.
   Numbers|2:23  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]

 thirty and five thousand and four hundred.
   Numbers|2:24  All that were numbered of the camp of Ephraim [were] an
 hundred thousand and eight thousand and an hundred, throughout their
 armies. And they shall go forward in the third rank.
   Numbers|2:25  The standard of the camp of Dan [shall be] on the north
 side by their armies: and the captain of the children of Dan [shall be]
 Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
   Numbers|2:26  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
 threescore and two thousand and seven hundred.
   Numbers|2:27  And those that encamp by him [shall be] the tribe of Asher:
 and the captain of the children of Asher [shall be] Pagiel the son of
 Ocran.
   Numbers|2:28  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
 forty and one thousand and five hundred.
   Numbers|2:29  Then the tribe of Naphtali: and the captain of the children
 of Naphtali [shall be] Ahira the son of Enan.
   Numbers|2:30  And his host, and those that were numbered of them, [were]
 fifty and three thousand and four hundred.
   Numbers|2:31  All they that were numbered in the camp of Dan [were] an
 hundred thousand and fifty and seven thousand and six hundred. They shall
 go hindmost with their standards.

   Numbers|2:32  These [are] those which were numbered of the children of
 Israel by the house of their fathers: all those that were numbered of the
 camps throughout their hosts [were] six hundred thousand and three thousand
 and five hundred and fifty.
   Numbers|2:33  But the Levites were not numbered among the children of
 Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Numbers|2:34  And the children of Israel did according to all that the
 LORD commanded Moses: so they pitched by their standards, and so they set
 forward, every one after their families, according to the house of their
 fathers.
   Numbers|3:1  These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses in the
 day [that] the LORD spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
   Numbers|3:2  And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the
 firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
   Numbers|3:3  These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests
 which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's
 office.
   Numbers|3:4  And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered
 strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no
 children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the
 sight of Aaron their father.

   Numbers|3:5  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|3:6  Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron
 the priest, that they may minister unto him.
   Numbers|3:7  And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole
 congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service
 of the tabernacle.
   Numbers|3:8  And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of
 the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the
 service of the tabernacle.
   Numbers|3:9  And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons:
 they [are] wholly given unto him out of the children of Israel.
   Numbers|3:10  And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall
 wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be
 put to death.
   Numbers|3:11  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|3:12  And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the
 children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix
 among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
   Numbers|3:13  Because all the firstborn [are] mine; [for] on the day that
 I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the
 firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I [am] the

 LORD.
   Numbers|3:14  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,
 saying,
   Numbers|3:15  Number the children of Levi after the house of their
 fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt
 thou number them.
   Numbers|3:16  And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD,
 as he was commanded.
   Numbers|3:17  And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon,
 and Kohath, and Merari.

 families; Libni, and Shimei.
   Numbers|3:19  And the sons of Kohath by their families; Amram, and
 Izehar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
   Numbers|3:20  And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi.
 These [are] the families of the Levites according to the house of their
 fathers.
   Numbers|3:21  Of Gershon [was] the family of the Libnites, and the family
 of the Shimites: these [are] the families of the Gershonites.
   Numbers|3:22  Those that were numbered of them, according to the number
 of all the males, from a month old and upward, [even] those that were

 numbered of them [were] seven thousand and five hundred.
   Numbers|3:23  The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the
 tabernacle westward.

   Numbers|3:39  All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and
 Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families,
 all the males from a month old and upward, [were] twenty and two thousand.
   Numbers|3:40  And the LORD said unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of
 the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take
 the number of their names.
   Numbers|3:41  And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the LORD)
 instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle
 of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the
 children of Israel.
   Numbers|3:42  And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the
 firstborn among the children of Israel.
   Numbers|3:43  And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a
 month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and
 two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
   Numbers|3:44  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

   Numbers|3:45  Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the
 children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle;
 and the Levites shall be mine: I [am] the LORD.
   Numbers|3:46  And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred
 and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel,
 which are more than the Levites;
   Numbers|3:47  Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after
 the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take [them]: (the shekel [is] twenty
 gerahs:)
   Numbers|3:48  And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of
 them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
   Numbers|3:49  And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over
 and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
   Numbers|3:50  Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the
 money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five [shekels], after
 the shekel of the sanctuary:
   Numbers|3:51  And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto
 Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD
 commanded Moses.
   Numbers|4:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   Numbers|4:2  Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of

 Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,
   Numbers|4:3  From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old,
 all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the
 congregation.
   Numbers|4:4  This [shall be] the service of the sons of Kohath in the
 tabernacle of the congregation, [about] the most holy things:
   Numbers|4:5  And when the camp setteth forward, Aaron shall come, and his
 sons, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of
 testimony with it:
   Numbers|4:6  And shall put thereon the covering of badgers' skins, and
 shall spread over [it] a cloth wholly of blue, and shall put in the staves
 thereof.
   Numbers|4:7  And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of

 cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put in the
 staves thereof.
   Numbers|4:9  And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the
 candlestick of the light, and his lamps, and his tongs, and his

 covering of badgers' skins, and shall put [it] upon a bar.
   Numbers|4:11  And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of
 blue, and cover it with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put to the
 staves thereof:
   Numbers|4:12  And they shall take all the instruments of ministry,
 wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and put [them] in a cloth of
 blue, and cover them with a covering of badgers' skins, and shall put
 [them] on a bar:
   Numbers|4:13  And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and
 spread a purple cloth thereon:
   Numbers|4:14  And they shall put upon it all the vessels thereof,
 wherewith they minister about it, [even] the censers, the fleshhooks, and
 the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar; and they shall
 spread upon it a covering of badgers' skins, and put to the staves of it.
   Numbers|4:15  And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering
 the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set
 forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear [it]: but they
 shall not touch [any] holy thing, lest they die. These [things are] the
 burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.

   Numbers|4:16  And to the office of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest
 [pertaineth] the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the daily
 meat offering, and the anointing oil, [and] the oversight of all the
 tabernacle, and of all that therein [is], in the sanctuary, and in the
 vessels thereof.
   Numbers|4:17  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   Numbers|4:18  Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites
 from among the Levites:
   Numbers|4:19  But thus do unto them, that they may live, and not die,
 when they approach unto the most holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go
 in, and appoint them every one to his service and to his burden:
   Numbers|4:20  But they shall not go in to see when the holy things are
 covered, lest they die.
   Numbers|4:21  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|4:22  Take also the sum of the sons of Gershon, throughout the
 houses of their fathers, by their families;
   Numbers|4:23  From thirty years old and upward until fifty years old
 shalt thou number them; all that enter in to perform the service, to do the
 work in the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Numbers|4:24  This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonites,
 to serve, and for burdens:

   Numbers|4:25  And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the
 tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the
 badgers' skins that [is] above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the
 tabernacle of the congregation,
   Numbers|4:26  And the hangings of the court, and the hanging for the door
 of the gate of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle and by the altar
 round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and
 all that is made for them: so shall they serve.
   Numbers|4:27  At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the
 service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all
 their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
   Numbers|4:28  This [is] the service of the families of the sons of
 Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge [shall be]
 under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
   Numbers|4:29  As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after
 their families, by the house of their fathers;
   Numbers|4:30  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old
 shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the
 work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Numbers|4:31  And this [is] the charge of their burden, according to all
 their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the

 tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets
 thereof,
   Numbers|4:32  And the pillars of the court round about, and their
 sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and
 with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the
 charge of their burden.
   Numbers|4:33  This [is] the service of the families of the sons of
 Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the
 congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
   Numbers|4:34  And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation
 numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families, and after the
 house of their fathers,
   Numbers|4:35  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
 every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of
 the congregation:
   Numbers|4:36  And those that were numbered of them by their families were
 two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
   Numbers|4:37  These [were] they that were numbered of the families of the
 Kohathites, all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
 congregation, which Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment
 of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

   Numbers|4:38  And those that were numbered of the sons of Gershon,
 throughout their families, and by the house of their fathers,
   Numbers|4:39  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
 every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of
 the congregation,
   Numbers|4:40  Even those that were numbered of them, throughout their
 families, by the house of their fathers, were two thousand and six hundred
 and thirty.
   Numbers|4:41  These [are] they that were numbered of the families of the
 sons of Gershon, of all that might do service in the tabernacle of the
 congregation, whom Moses and Aaron did number according to the commandment
 of the LORD.
   Numbers|4:42  And those that were numbered of the families of the sons of
 Merari, throughout their families, by the house of their fathers,
   Numbers|4:43  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
 every one that entereth into the service, for the work in the tabernacle of
 the congregation,
   Numbers|4:44  Even those that were numbered of them after their families,
 were three thousand and two hundred.
   Numbers|4:45  These [be] those that were numbered of the families of the
 sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the

 LORD by the hand of Moses.
   Numbers|4:46  All those that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and
 Aaron and the chief of Israel numbered, after their families, and after the
 house of their fathers,
   Numbers|4:47  From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old,
 every one that came to do the service of the ministry, and the service of
 the burden in the tabernacle of the congregation,
   Numbers|4:48  Even those that were numbered of them, were eight thousand
 and five hundred and fourscore.
   Numbers|4:49  According to the commandment of the LORD they were numbered
 by the hand of Moses, every one according to his service, and according to
 his burden: thus were they numbered of him, as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Numbers|5:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|5:2  Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the
 camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is
 defiled by the dead:
   Numbers|5:3  Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp
 shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I
 dwell.
   Numbers|5:4  And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without
 the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.

   Numbers|5:5  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|5:6  Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall
 commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that
 person be guilty;
   Numbers|5:7  Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and
 he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto
 it the fifth [part] thereof, and give [it] unto [him] against whom he hath
 trespassed.
   Numbers|5:8  But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass
 unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, [even] to the priest;
 beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for
 him.
   Numbers|5:9  And every offering of all the holy things of the children of
 Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
   Numbers|5:10  And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever
 any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
   Numbers|5:11  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|5:12  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If
 any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
   Numbers|5:13  And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the
 eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and [there be]

 no witness against her, neither she be taken [with the manner];
   Numbers|5:14  And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous
 of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon
 him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
   Numbers|5:15  Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he
 shall bring her offering for her, the tenth [part] of an ephah of barley
 meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it
 [is] an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to
 remembrance.
   Numbers|5:16  And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the
 LORD:
   Numbers|5:17  And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel;
 and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall
 take, and put [it] into the water:
   Numbers|5:18  And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and
 uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands,
 which [is] the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the
 bitter water that causeth the curse:
   Numbers|5:19  And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto
 the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside
 to uncleanness [with another] instead of thy husband, be thou free from

 this bitter water that causeth the curse:
   Numbers|5:20  But if thou hast gone aside [to another] instead of thy
 husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside
 thine husband:
   Numbers|5:21  Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of
 cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a
 curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to
 rot, and thy belly to swell;
   Numbers|5:22  And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy
 bowels, to make [thy] belly to swell, and [thy] thigh to rot: And the woman
 shall say, Amen, amen.
   Numbers|5:23  And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he
 shall blot [them] out with the bitter water:
   Numbers|5:24  And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that
 causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into
 her, [and become] bitter.
   Numbers|5:25  Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the
 woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it
 upon the altar:
   Numbers|5:26  And the priest shall take an handful of the offering,
 [even] the memorial thereof, and burn [it] upon the altar, and afterward

 shall cause the woman to drink the water.
   Numbers|5:27  And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall
 come to pass, [that], if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her
 husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, [and
 become] bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the
 woman shall be a curse among her people.
   Numbers|5:28  And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she
 shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
   Numbers|5:29  This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside
 [to another] instead of her husband, and is defiled;
   Numbers|5:30  Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be
 jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the
 priest shall execute upon her all this law.
   Numbers|5:31  Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this
 woman shall bear her iniquity.
   Numbers|6:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|6:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
 either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite,
 to separate [themselves] unto the LORD:
   Numbers|6:3  He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, and
 shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall

 he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
   Numbers|6:4  All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is
 made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
   Numbers|6:5  All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no
 razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he
 separateth [himself] unto the LORD, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the
 locks of the hair of his head grow.
   Numbers|6:6  All the days that he separateth [himself] unto the LORD he
 shall come at no dead body.
   Numbers|6:7  He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his
 mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the
 consecration of his God [is] upon his head.
   Numbers|6:8  All the days of his separation he [is] holy unto the LORD.
   Numbers|6:9  And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled
 the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of
 his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
   Numbers|6:10  And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two
 young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the
 congregation:
   Numbers|6:11  And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and
 the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he

 sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
   Numbers|6:12  And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his
 separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass
 offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his
 separation was defiled.
   Numbers|6:13  And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his
 separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the
 tabernacle of the congregation:
   Numbers|6:14  And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb
 of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of
 the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without
 blemish for peace offerings,
   Numbers|6:15  And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour
 mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and
 their meat offering, and their drink offerings.
   Numbers|6:16  And the priest shall bring [them] before the LORD, and
 shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
   Numbers|6:17  And he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace
 offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest
 shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
   Numbers|6:18  And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation

 [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the
 hair of the head of his separation, and put [it] in the fire which [is]
 under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
   Numbers|6:19  And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram,
 and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and
 shall put [them] upon the hands of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his
 separation is shaven:
   Numbers|6:20  And the priest shall wave them [for] a wave offering before
 the LORD: this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave
 shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
   Numbers|6:21  This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of]
 his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside [that] that his hand
 shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law
 of his separation.
   Numbers|6:22  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|6:23  Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye
 shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
   Numbers|6:24  The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
   Numbers|6:25  The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious
 unto thee:
   Numbers|6:26  The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee

 peace.
   Numbers|6:27  And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and
 I will bless them.
   Numbers|7:1  And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up
 the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the
 instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had
 anointed them, and sanctified them;
   Numbers|7:2  That the princes of Israel, heads of the house of their
 fathers, who [were] the princes of the tribes, and were over them that were
 numbered, offered:
   Numbers|7:3  And they brought their offering before the LORD, six covered
 wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one
 an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.
   Numbers|7:4  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|7:5  Take [it] of them, that they may be to do the service of the
 tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites,
 to every man according to his service.
   Numbers|7:6  And Moses took the wagons and the oxen, and gave them unto
 the Levites.
   Numbers|7:7  Two wagons and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon,
 according to their service:

   Numbers|7:8  And four wagons and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of
 Merari, according unto their service, under the hand of Ithamar the son of
 Aaron the priest.
   Numbers|7:9  But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none: because the
 service of the sanctuary belonging unto them [was that] they should bear
 upon their shoulders.
   Numbers|7:10  And the princes offered for dedicating of the altar in the
 day that it was anointed, even the princes offered their offering before
 the altar.
   Numbers|7:11  And the LORD said unto Moses, They shall offer their
 offering, each prince on his day, for the dedicating of the altar.
   Numbers|7:12  And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon
 the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah:
   Numbers|7:13  And his offering [was] one silver charger, the weight
 thereof [was] an hundred and thirty [shekels], one silver bowl of seventy

 of Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

 children of Reuben, [did offer]:
   Numbers|7:31  His offering [was] one silver charger of the weight of an
 hundred and thirty [shekels], one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the

   Numbers|7:89  And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the
 congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking
 unto him from off the mercy seat that [was] upon the ark of testimony, from
 between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him.
   Numbers|8:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|8:2  Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the

 lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
   Numbers|8:3  And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against
 the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Numbers|8:4  And this work of the candlestick [was of] beaten gold, unto
 the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, [was] beaten work: according
 unto the pattern which the LORD had showed Moses, so he made the
 candlestick.
   Numbers|8:5  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|8:6  Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and
 cleanse them.
   Numbers|8:7  And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle
 water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let
 them wash their clothes, and [so] make themselves clean.
   Numbers|8:8  Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering,
 [even] fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou
 take for a sin offering.
   Numbers|8:9  And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of
 the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children
 of Israel together:
   Numbers|8:10  And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the
 children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:

   Numbers|8:11  And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD [for] an
 offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of
 the LORD.
   Numbers|8:12  And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the
 bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one [for] a sin offering, and the other
 [for] a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the
 Levites.
   Numbers|8:13  And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his
 sons, and offer them [for] an offering unto the LORD.
   Numbers|8:14  Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the
 children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
   Numbers|8:15  And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service
 of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and
 offer them [for] an offering.
   Numbers|8:16  For they [are] wholly given unto me from among the children
 of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even instead of] the
 firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
   Numbers|8:17  For all the firstborn of the children of Israel [are] mine,
 [both] man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land
 of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
   Numbers|8:18  And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the

 children of Israel.
   Numbers|8:19  And I have given the Levites [as] a gift to Aaron and to
 his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the
 children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an
 atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the
 children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the
 sanctuary.
   Numbers|8:20  And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the
 children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD
 commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto
 them.
   Numbers|8:21  And the Levites were purified, and they washed their
 clothes; and Aaron offered them [as] an offering before the LORD; and Aaron
 made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
   Numbers|8:22  And after that went the Levites in to do their service in
 the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as
 the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
   Numbers|8:23  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|8:24  This [is it] that [belongeth] unto the Levites: from twenty
 and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of
 the tabernacle of the congregation:

   Numbers|8:25  And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting
 upon the service [thereof], and shall serve no more:
   Numbers|8:26  But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of
 the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt
 thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
   Numbers|9:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in
 the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of
 Egypt, saying,
   Numbers|9:2  Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his
 appointed season.
   Numbers|9:3  In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep
 it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according
 to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
   Numbers|9:4  And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they
 should keep the passover.
   Numbers|9:5  And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the
 first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the
 LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
   Numbers|9:6  And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead
 body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they
 came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

   Numbers|9:7  And those men said unto him, We [are] defiled by the dead
 body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an
 offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
   Numbers|9:8  And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what
 the LORD will command concerning you.
   Numbers|9:9  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|9:10  Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of
 you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or [be]
 in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
   Numbers|9:11  The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall
 keep it, [and] eat it with unleavened bread and bitter [herbs].
   Numbers|9:12  They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any
 bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep
 it.
   Numbers|9:13  But the man that [is] clean, and is not in a journey, and
 forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from
 among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his
 appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
   Numbers|9:14  And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep
 the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and
 according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one

 ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
   Numbers|9:15  And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud
 covered the tabernacle, [namely], the tent of the testimony: and at even
 there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the
 morning.
   Numbers|9:16  So it was alway: the cloud covered it [by day], and the
 appearance of fire by night.
   Numbers|9:17  And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then
 after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the
 cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
   Numbers|9:18  At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel
 journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the
 cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
   Numbers|9:19  And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many
 days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and
 journeyed not.
   Numbers|9:20  And [so] it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the
 tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their
 tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
   Numbers|9:21  And [so] it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the
 morning, and [that] the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they

 journeyed: whether [it was] by day or by night that the cloud was taken up,
 they journeyed.
   Numbers|9:22  Or [whether it were] two days, or a month, or a year, that
 the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of
 Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up,
 they journeyed.
   Numbers|9:23  At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents,
 and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of
 the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
   Numbers|10:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|10:2  Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt
 thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly,
 and for the journeying of the camps.
   Numbers|10:3  And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall
 assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the
 congregation.
   Numbers|10:4  And if they blow [but] with one [trumpet], then the
 princes, [which are] heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather
 themselves unto thee.
   Numbers|10:5  When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east
 parts shall go forward.

   Numbers|10:6  When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that
 lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm
 for their journeys.
   Numbers|10:7  But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye
 shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
   Numbers|10:8  And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the
 trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout
 your generations.
   Numbers|10:9  And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that
 oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall
 be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your
 enemies.
   Numbers|10:10  Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days,
 and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over
 your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that
 they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I [am] the LORD your
 God.
   Numbers|10:11  And it came to pass on the twentieth [day] of the second
 month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the
 tabernacle of the testimony.
   Numbers|10:12  And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the

 wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
   Numbers|10:13  And they first took their journey according to the
 commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
   Numbers|10:14  In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of the
 children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host [was]
 Nahshon the son of Amminadab.
   Numbers|10:15  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Issachar
 [was] Nethaneel the son of Zuar.
   Numbers|10:16  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Zebulun
 [was] Eliab the son of Helon.
   Numbers|10:17  And the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon
 and the sons of Merari set forward, bearing the tabernacle.
   Numbers|10:18  And the standard of the camp of Reuben set forward
 according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elizur the son of
 Shedeur.
   Numbers|10:19  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Simeon
 [was] Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.
   Numbers|10:20  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad
 [was] Eliasaph the son of Deuel.
   Numbers|10:21  And the Kohathites set forward, bearing the sanctuary: and
 [the other] did set up the tabernacle against they came.

   Numbers|10:22  And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim
 set forward according to their armies: and over his host [was] Elishama the
 son of Ammihud.
   Numbers|10:23  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Manasseh
 [was] Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.
   Numbers|10:24  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
 [was] Abidan the son of Gideoni.
   Numbers|10:25  And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set
 forward, [which was] the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts:
 and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.
   Numbers|10:26  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Asher
 [was] Pagiel the son of Ocran.
   Numbers|10:27  And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali
 [was] Ahira the son of Enan.
   Numbers|10:28  Thus [were] the journeyings of the children of Israel
 according to their armies, when they set forward.
   Numbers|10:29  And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the
 Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which
 the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee
 good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
   Numbers|10:30  And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to

 mine own land, and to my kindred.
   Numbers|10:31  And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou
 knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us
 instead of eyes.
   Numbers|10:32  And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be,
 that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto
 thee.
   Numbers|10:33  And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days'
 journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the
 three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
   Numbers|10:34  And the cloud of the LORD [was] upon them by day, when
 they went out of the camp.
   Numbers|10:35  And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses
 said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that
 hate thee flee before thee.
   Numbers|10:36  And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many
 thousands of Israel.
   Numbers|11:1  And [when] the people complained, it displeased the LORD:
 and the LORD heard [it]; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the
 LORD burnt among them, and consumed [them that were] in the uttermost parts
 of the camp.

   Numbers|11:2  And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto
 the LORD, the fire was quenched.
   Numbers|11:3  And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the
 fire of the LORD burnt among them.
   Numbers|11:4  And the mixed multitude that [was] among them fell a
 lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall
 give us flesh to eat?
   Numbers|11:5  We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the
 cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
   Numbers|11:6  But now our soul [is] dried away: [there is] nothing at
 all, beside this manna, [before] our eyes.
   Numbers|11:7  And the manna [was] as coriander seed, and the colour
 thereof as the colour of bdellium.
   Numbers|11:8  [And] the people went about, and gathered [it], and ground
 [it] in mills, or beat [it] in a mortar, and baked [it] in pans, and made
 cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
   Numbers|11:9  And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna
 fell upon it.
   Numbers|11:10  Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their
 families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was
 kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.

   Numbers|11:11  And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou
 afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight,
 that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
   Numbers|11:12  Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them,
 that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing
 father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto
 their fathers?
   Numbers|11:13  Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people?
 for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
   Numbers|11:14  I am not able to bear all this people alone, because [it
 is] too heavy for me.
   Numbers|11:15  And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out
 of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my
 wretchedness.
   Numbers|11:16  And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men
 of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people,
 and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the
 congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
   Numbers|11:17  And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will
 take of the spirit which [is] upon thee, and will put [it] upon them; and
 they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear [it] not

 thyself alone.
   Numbers|11:18  And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against
 to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the
 LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for [it was] well with us in
 Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
   Numbers|11:19  Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days,
 neither ten days, nor twenty days;
   Numbers|11:20  [But] even a whole month, until it come out at your
 nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the
 LORD which [is] among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we
 forth out of Egypt?
   Numbers|11:21  And Moses said, The people, among whom I [am], [are] six
 hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that
 they may eat a whole month.
   Numbers|11:22  Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to
 suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for
 them, to suffice them?
   Numbers|11:23  And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD'S hand waxed
 short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or
 not.
   Numbers|11:24  And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the

 LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set
 them round about the tabernacle.
   Numbers|11:25  And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and
 took of the spirit that [was] upon him, and gave [it] unto the seventy
 elders: and it came to pass, [that], when the spirit rested upon them, they
 prophesied, and did not cease.
   Numbers|11:26  But there remained two [of the] men in the camp, the name
 of the one [was] Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit
 rested upon them; and they [were] of them that were written, but went not
 out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
   Numbers|11:27  And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad
 and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
   Numbers|11:28  And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, [one] of
 his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
   Numbers|11:29  And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would
 God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and] that the LORD would put
 his spirit upon them!
   Numbers|11:30  And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of
 Israel.
   Numbers|11:31  And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought
 quails from the sea, and let [them] fall by the camp, as it were a day's

 journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side,
 round about the camp, and as it were two cubits [high] upon the face of the
 earth.
   Numbers|11:32  And the people stood up all that day, and all [that]
 night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered
 least gathered ten homers: and they spread [them] all abroad for themselves
 round about the camp.
   Numbers|11:33  And while the flesh [was] yet between their teeth, ere it
 was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the
 LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
   Numbers|11:34  And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah:
 because there they buried the people that lusted.
   Numbers|11:35  [And] the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto
 Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
   Numbers|12:1  And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the
 Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
   Numbers|12:2  And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses?
 hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].
   Numbers|12:3  (Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which
 [were] upon the face of the earth.)
   Numbers|12:4  And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and

 unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And
 they three came out.
   Numbers|12:5  And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and
 stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and
 they both came forth.
   Numbers|12:6  And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among
 you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will
 speak unto him in a dream.
   Numbers|12:7  My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine
 house.
   Numbers|12:8  With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and
 not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:
 wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
   Numbers|12:9  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he
 departed.
   Numbers|12:10  And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and,
 behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon
 Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous.
   Numbers|12:11  And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee,
 lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we
 have sinned.

   Numbers|12:12  Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half
 consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
   Numbers|12:13  And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O
 God, I beseech thee.
   Numbers|12:14  And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit
 in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from
 the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in [again].
   Numbers|12:15  And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the
 people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].
   Numbers|12:16  And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and
 pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
   Numbers|13:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|13:2  Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan,
 which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers
 shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
   Numbers|13:3  And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the
 wilderness of Paran: all those men [were] heads of the children of Israel.
   Numbers|13:4  And these [were] their names: of the tribe of Reuben,
 Shammua the son of Zaccur.
   Numbers|13:5  Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
   Numbers|13:6  Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

   Numbers|13:7  Of the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph.
   Numbers|13:8  Of the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea the son of Nun.
   Numbers|13:9  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
   Numbers|13:10  Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
   Numbers|13:11  Of the tribe of Joseph, [namely], of the tribe of
 Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
   Numbers|13:12  Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
   Numbers|13:13  Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
   Numbers|13:14  Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
   Numbers|13:15  Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
   Numbers|13:16  These [are] the names of the men which Moses sent to spy
 out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
   Numbers|13:17  And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and
 said unto them, Get you up this [way] southward, and go up into the
 mountain:
   Numbers|13:18  And see the land, what it [is]; and the people that
 dwelleth therein, whether they [be] strong or weak, few or many;
   Numbers|13:19  And what the land [is] that they dwell in, whether it [be]
 good or bad; and what cities [they be] that they dwell in, whether in
 tents, or in strong holds;
   Numbers|13:20  And what the land [is], whether it [be] fat or lean,

 whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring
 of the fruit of the land. Now the time [was] the time of the firstripe
 grapes.
   Numbers|13:21  So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness
 of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
   Numbers|13:22  And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron;
 where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, [were]. (Now
 Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
   Numbers|13:23  And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from
 thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two
 upon a staff; and [they brought] of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
   Numbers|13:24  The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the
 cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
   Numbers|13:25  And they returned from searching of the land after forty
 days.
   Numbers|13:26  And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all
 the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran,
 to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation,
 and showed them the fruit of the land.
   Numbers|13:27  And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither
 thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this [is]

 the fruit of it.
   Numbers|13:28  Nevertheless the people [be] strong that dwell in the
 land, and the cities [are] walled, [and] very great: and moreover we saw
 the children of Anak there.
   Numbers|13:29  The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the
 Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and
 the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
   Numbers|13:30  And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let
 us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
   Numbers|13:31  But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to
 go up against the people; for they [are] stronger than we.
   Numbers|13:32  And they brought up an evil report of the land which they
 had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which
 we have gone to search it, [is] a land that eateth up the inhabitants
 thereof; and all the people that we saw in it [are] men of a great stature.
   Numbers|13:33  And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, [which
 come] of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so
 we were in their sight.
   Numbers|14:1  And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried;
 and the people wept that night.
   Numbers|14:2  And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and

 against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we
 had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
   Numbers|14:3  And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to
 fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were
 it not better for us to return into Egypt?
   Numbers|14:4  And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and
 let us return into Egypt.
   Numbers|14:5  Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the
 assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
   Numbers|14:6  And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
 [which were] of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
   Numbers|14:7  And they spake unto all the company of the children of
 Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, [is] an
 exceeding good land.
   Numbers|14:8  If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this
 land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
   Numbers|14:9  Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the
 people of the land; for they [are] bread for us: their defence is departed
 from them, and the LORD [is] with us: fear them not.
   Numbers|14:10  But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And
 the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before

 all the children of Israel.
   Numbers|14:11  And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people
 provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs
 which I have showed among them?
   Numbers|14:12  I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit
 them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
   Numbers|14:13  And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall
 hear [it], (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among
 them;)
   Numbers|14:14  And they will tell [it] to the inhabitants of this land:
 [for] they have heard that thou LORD [art] among this people, that thou
 LORD art seen face to face, and [that] thy cloud standeth over them, and
 [that] thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a
 pillar of fire by night.
   Numbers|14:15  Now [if] thou shalt kill [all] this people as one man,
 then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
   Numbers|14:16  Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into
 the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the
 wilderness.
   Numbers|14:17  And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be
 great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,

   Numbers|14:18  The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving
 iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting
 the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
 [generation].
   Numbers|14:19  Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people
 according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this
 people, from Egypt even until now.
   Numbers|14:20  And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
   Numbers|14:21  But [as] truly [as] I live, all the earth shall be filled
 with the glory of the LORD.
   Numbers|14:22  Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my
 miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me
 now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
   Numbers|14:23  Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto
 their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
   Numbers|14:24  But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with
 him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto
 he went; and his seed shall possess it.
   Numbers|14:25  (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the
 valley.) To morrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of
 the Red sea.

   Numbers|14:26  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   Numbers|14:27  How long [shall I bear with] this evil congregation, which
 murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel,
 which they murmur against me.
   Numbers|14:28  Say unto them, [As truly as] I live, saith the LORD, as ye
 have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
   Numbers|14:29  Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that
 were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old
 and upward, which have murmured against me,
   Numbers|14:30  Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, [concerning]
 which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
 and Joshua the son of Nun.
   Numbers|14:31  But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them
 will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
   Numbers|14:32  But [as for] you, your carcases, they shall fall in this
 wilderness.
   Numbers|14:33  And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty
 years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the
 wilderness.
   Numbers|14:34  After the number of the days in which ye searched the
 land, [even] forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your

 iniquities, [even] forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
   Numbers|14:35  I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this
 evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this
 wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
   Numbers|14:36  And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who
 returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing
 up a slander upon the land,
   Numbers|14:37  Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the
 land, died by the plague before the LORD.
   Numbers|14:38  But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,
 [which were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still].
   Numbers|14:39  And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of
 Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
   Numbers|14:40  And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up
 into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we [be here], and will go up unto
 the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
   Numbers|14:41  And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the
 commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
   Numbers|14:42  Go not up, for the LORD [is] not among you; that ye be not
 smitten before your enemies.
   Numbers|14:43  For the Amalekites and the Canaanites [are] there before

 you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the
 LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
   Numbers|14:44  But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless
 the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the
 camp.
   Numbers|14:45  Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which
 dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, [even] unto
 Hormah.
   Numbers|15:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|15:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
 ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
   Numbers|15:3  And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
 offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or
 in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd,
 or of the flock:
   Numbers|15:4  Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD
 bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth
 [part] of an hin of oil.
   Numbers|15:5  And the fourth [part] of an hin of wine for a drink
 offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one
 lamb.

   Numbers|15:6  Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare [for] a meat offering two
 tenth deals of flour mingled with the third [part] of an hin of oil.
   Numbers|15:7  And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third [part]
 of an hin of wine, [for] a sweet savour unto the LORD.
   Numbers|15:8  And when thou preparest a bullock [for] a burnt offering,
 or [for] a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
   Numbers|15:9  Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three
 tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
   Numbers|15:10  And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of
 wine, [for] an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
   Numbers|15:11  Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or
 for a lamb, or a kid.
   Numbers|15:12  According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye
 do to every one according to their number.
   Numbers|15:13  All that are born of the country shall do these things
 after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour
 unto the LORD.
   Numbers|15:14  And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever [be]
 among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of
 a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
   Numbers|15:15  One ordinance [shall be both] for you of the congregation,

 and also for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], an ordinance for ever
 in your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
   Numbers|15:16  One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the
 stranger that sojourneth with you.
   Numbers|15:17  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|15:18  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
 ye come into the land whither I bring you,
   Numbers|15:19  Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the
 land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
   Numbers|15:20  Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough [for]
 an heave offering: as [ye do] the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so
 shall ye heave it.
   Numbers|15:21  Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an
 heave offering in your generations.
   Numbers|15:22  And if ye have erred, and not observed all these
 commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
   Numbers|15:23  [Even] all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of
 Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded [Moses], and henceforward among
 your generations;
   Numbers|15:24  Then it shall be, if [ought] be committed by ignorance
 without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall

 offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the
 LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the
 manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
   Numbers|15:25  And the priest shall make an atonement for all the
 congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for
 it [is] ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by
 fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their
 ignorance:
   Numbers|15:26  And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the
 children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all
 the people [were] in ignorance.
   Numbers|15:27  And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring
 a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
   Numbers|15:28  And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that
 sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make
 an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
   Numbers|15:29  Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through
 ignorance, [both for] him that is born among the children of Israel, and
 for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
   Numbers|15:30  But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously, [whether
 he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and

 that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
   Numbers|15:31  Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath
 broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity
 [shall be] upon him.
   Numbers|15:32  And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness,
 they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
   Numbers|15:33  And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto
 Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
   Numbers|15:34  And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what
 should be done to him.
   Numbers|15:35  And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put
 to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the
 camp.
   Numbers|15:36  And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and
 stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Numbers|15:37  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|15:38  Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they
 make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their
 generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of
 blue:
   Numbers|15:39  And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look

 upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and
 that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use
 to go a whoring:
   Numbers|15:40  That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be
 holy unto your God.
   Numbers|15:41  I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you out of the
 land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Numbers|16:1  Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of
 Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth,
 sons of Reuben, took [men]:
   Numbers|16:2  And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children
 of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the
 congregation, men of renown:
   Numbers|16:3  And they gathered themselves together against Moses and
 against Aaron, and said unto them, [Ye take] too much upon you, seeing all
 the congregation [are] holy, every one of them, and the LORD [is] among
 them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the
 LORD?
   Numbers|16:4  And when Moses heard [it], he fell upon his face:
   Numbers|16:5  And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying,
 Even to morrow the LORD will show who [are] his, and [who is] holy; and

 will cause [him] to come near unto him: even [him] whom he hath chosen will
 he cause to come near unto him.
   Numbers|16:6  This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
   Numbers|16:7  And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the
 LORD to morrow: and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD doth choose,
 he [shall be] holy: [ye take] too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
   Numbers|16:8  And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of
 Levi:
   Numbers|16:9  [Seemeth it but] a small thing unto you, that the God of
 Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you
 near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to
 stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
   Numbers|16:10  And he hath brought thee near [to him], and all thy
 brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
   Numbers|16:11  For which cause [both] thou and all thy company [are]
 gathered together against the LORD: and what [is] Aaron, that ye murmur
 against him?
   Numbers|16:12  And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of
 Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
   Numbers|16:13  [Is it] a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of
 a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness,

 except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
   Numbers|16:14  Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth
 with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt
 thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
   Numbers|16:15  And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect
 not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I
 hurt one of them.
   Numbers|16:16  And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company
 before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
   Numbers|16:17  And take every man his censer, and put incense in them,
 and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty
 censers; thou also, and Aaron, each [of you] his censer.
   Numbers|16:18  And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them,
 and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the
 congregation with Moses and Aaron.
   Numbers|16:19  And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto
 the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD
 appeared unto all the congregation.
   Numbers|16:20  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   Numbers|16:21  Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I
 may consume them in a moment.

   Numbers|16:22  And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God
 of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with
 all the congregation?
   Numbers|16:23  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|16:24  Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about
 the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
   Numbers|16:25  And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the
 elders of Israel followed him.
   Numbers|16:26  And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray
 you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest
 ye be consumed in all their sins.
   Numbers|16:27  So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and
 Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the
 door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little
 children.
   Numbers|16:28  And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath
 sent me to do all these works; for [I have] not [done them] of mine own
 mind.
   Numbers|16:29  If these men die the common death of all men, or if they
 be visited after the visitation of all men; [then] the LORD hath not sent
 me.

   Numbers|16:30  But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her
 mouth, and swallow them up, with all that [appertain] unto them, and they
 go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have
 provoked the LORD.
   Numbers|16:31  And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all
 these words, that the ground clave asunder that [was] under them:
   Numbers|16:32  And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and
 their houses, and all the men that [appertained] unto Korah, and all
 [their] goods.
   Numbers|16:33  They, and all that [appertained] to them, went down alive
 into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among
 the congregation.
   Numbers|16:34  And all Israel that [were] round about them fled at the
 cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up [also].
   Numbers|16:35  And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the
 two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
   Numbers|16:36  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|16:37  Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he
 take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder;
 for they are hallowed.
   Numbers|16:38  The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let

 them make them broad plates [for] a covering of the altar: for they offered
 them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign
 unto the children of Israel.
   Numbers|16:39  And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, wherewith
 they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad [plates for] a
 covering of the altar:
   Numbers|16:40  [To be] a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no
 stranger, which [is] not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense
 before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD
 said to him by the hand of Moses.
   Numbers|16:41  But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of
 Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the
 people of the LORD.
   Numbers|16:42  And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered
 against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of
 the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the
 LORD appeared.
   Numbers|16:43  And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the
 congregation.
   Numbers|16:44  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|16:45  Get you up from among this congregation, that I may

 consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
   Numbers|16:46  And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire
 therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the
 congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out
 from the LORD; the plague is begun.
   Numbers|16:47  And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst
 of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people:
 and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
   Numbers|16:48  And he stood between the dead and the living; and the
 plague was stayed.
   Numbers|16:49  Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand
 and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
   Numbers|16:50  And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the
 tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
   Numbers|17:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|17:2  Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of
 them a rod according to the house of [their] fathers, of all their princes
 according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's
 name upon his rod.
   Numbers|17:3  And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for
 one rod [shall be] for the head of the house of their fathers.

   Numbers|17:4  And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the
 congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
   Numbers|17:5  And it shall come to pass, [that] the man's rod, whom I
 shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the
 murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
   Numbers|17:6  And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one
 of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to
 their fathers' houses, [even] twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron [was] among
 their rods.
   Numbers|17:7  And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the
 tabernacle of witness.
   Numbers|17:8  And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the
 tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi
 was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded
 almonds.
   Numbers|17:9  And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD
 unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his
 rod.
   Numbers|17:10  And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again
 before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou
 shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.

   Numbers|17:11  And Moses did [so]: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
   Numbers|17:12  And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying,
 Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
   Numbers|17:13  Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the
 LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?  18:1  And the LORD said
 unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear
 the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear
 the iniquity of your priesthood.
   Numbers|18:2  And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of
 thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and
 minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee [shall minister] before
 the tabernacle of witness.
   Numbers|18:3  And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the
 tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and
 the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
   Numbers|18:4  And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of
 the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle:
 and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
   Numbers|18:5  And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the
 charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of
 Israel.

   Numbers|18:6  And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from
 among the children of Israel: to you [they are] given [as] a gift for the
 LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Numbers|18:7  Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your
 priest's office for every thing of the altar, and within the veil; and ye
 shall serve: I have given your priest's office [unto you] as a service of
 gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
   Numbers|18:8  And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given
 thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the
 children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing,
 and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
   Numbers|18:9  This shall be thine of the most holy things, [reserved]
 from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs and
 every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs, which
 shall render unto me, [shall be] most holy for thee and for thy sons.
   Numbers|18:10  In the most holy [place] shalt thou eat it; every male
 shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
   Numbers|18:11  And this [is] thine; the heave offering of their gift,
 with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them
 unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for
 ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.

   Numbers|18:12  All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and
 of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD,
 them have I given thee.
   Numbers|18:13  [And] whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they
 shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine
 house shall eat [of] it.
   Numbers|18:14  Everything devoted in Israel shall be thine.
   Numbers|18:15  Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which
 they bring unto the LORD, [whether it be] of men or beasts, shall be thine:
 nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the
 firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
   Numbers|18:16  And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt
 thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels,
 after the shekel of the sanctuary, which [is] twenty gerahs.
   Numbers|18:17  But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep,
 or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they [are] holy: thou
 shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar,  and shalt burn their fat [for]
 an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
   Numbers|18:18  And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast
 and as the right shoulder are thine.
   Numbers|18:19  All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the

 children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and
 thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it [is] a covenant of salt
 for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
   Numbers|18:20  And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no
 inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I
 [am] thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
   Numbers|18:21  And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the
 tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve,
 [even] the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Numbers|18:22  Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh
 the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
   Numbers|18:23  But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of
 the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: [it shall be] a
 statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of
 Israel they have no inheritance.
   Numbers|18:24  But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer
 [as] an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to
 inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they
 shall have no inheritance.
   Numbers|18:25  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|18:26  Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye

 take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them
 for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for
 the LORD, [even] a tenth [part] of the tithe.
   Numbers|18:27  And [this] your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you,
 as though [it were] the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of
 the winepress.
   Numbers|18:28  Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD
 of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye
 shall give thereof the LORD'S heave offering to Aaron the priest.
   Numbers|18:29  Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering
 of the LORD, of all the best thereof, [even] the hallowed part thereof out
 of it.
   Numbers|18:30  Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved
 the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the
 increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
   Numbers|18:31  And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your
 households: for it [is] your reward for your service in the tabernacle of
 the congregation.
   Numbers|18:32  And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have
 heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of
 the children of Israel, lest ye die.

   Numbers|19:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
   Numbers|19:2  This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath
 commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee
 a red heifer without spot, wherein [is] no blemish, [and] upon which never
 came yoke:
   Numbers|19:3  And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may
 bring her forth without the camp, and [one] shall slay her before his face:
   Numbers|19:4  And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his
 finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the
 congregation seven times:
   Numbers|19:5  And [one] shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and
 her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
   Numbers|19:6  And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and
 scarlet, and cast [it] into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
   Numbers|19:7  Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe
 his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the
 priest shall be unclean until the even.
   Numbers|19:8  And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water,
 and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
   Numbers|19:9  And a man [that is] clean shall gather up the ashes of the
 heifer, and lay [them] up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall

 be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of
 separation: it [is] a purification for sin.
   Numbers|19:10  And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash
 his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the
 children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a
 statute for ever.
   Numbers|19:11  He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean
 seven days.
   Numbers|19:12  He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on
 the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third
 day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
   Numbers|19:13  Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead,
 and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that
 soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not
 sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] yet upon him.
   Numbers|19:14  This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that
 come into the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, shall be unclean seven
 days.
   Numbers|19:15  And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon
 it, [is] unclean.
   Numbers|19:16  And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in

 the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be
 unclean seven days.
   Numbers|19:17  And for an unclean [person] they shall take of the ashes
 of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put
 thereto in a vessel:
   Numbers|19:18  And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip [it] in the
 water, and sprinkle [it] upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon
 the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one
 slain, or one dead, or a grave:
   Numbers|19:19  And the clean [person] shall sprinkle upon the unclean on
 the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall
 purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall
 be clean at even.
   Numbers|19:20  But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify
 himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he
 hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not
 been sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.
   Numbers|19:21  And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he
 that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that
 toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
   Numbers|19:22  And whatsoever the unclean [person] toucheth shall be

 unclean; and the soul that toucheth [it] shall be unclean until even.
   Numbers|20:1  Then came the children of Israel, [even] the whole
 congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people
 abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
   Numbers|20:2  And there was no water for the congregation: and they
 gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
   Numbers|20:3  And the people chided with Moses, and spake, saying, Would
 God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
   Numbers|20:4  And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD
 into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
   Numbers|20:5  And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to
 bring us in unto this evil place? it [is] no place of seed, or of figs, or
 of vines, or of pomegranates; neither [is] there any water to drink.
   Numbers|20:6  And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly
 unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon
 their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
   Numbers|20:7  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|20:8  Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou,
 and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it
 shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of
 the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

   Numbers|20:9  And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he
 commanded him.
   Numbers|20:10  And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together
 before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch
 you water out of this rock?
   Numbers|20:11  And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote
 the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation
 drank, and their beasts [also].
   Numbers|20:12  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye
 believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel,
 therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have
 given them.
   Numbers|20:13  This [is] the water of Meribah, because the children of
 Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
   Numbers|20:14  And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of
 Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath
 befallen us:
   Numbers|20:15  How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in
 Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
   Numbers|20:16  And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and
 sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we

 [are] in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
   Numbers|20:17  Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not
 pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink
 [of] the water of the wells: we will go by the king's [high] way, we will
 not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy
 borders.
   Numbers|20:18  And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I
 come out against thee with the sword.
   Numbers|20:19  And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by
 the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay
 for it: I will only, without [doing] any thing [else], go through on my
 feet.
   Numbers|20:20  And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out
 against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
   Numbers|20:21  Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his
 border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
   Numbers|20:22  And the children of Israel, [even] the whole congregation,
 journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
   Numbers|20:23  And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by
 the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
   Numbers|20:24  Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not

 enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because
 ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
   Numbers|20:25  Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto
 mount Hor:
   Numbers|20:26  And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar
 his son: and Aaron shall be gathered [unto his people], and shall die
 there.
   Numbers|20:27  And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into
 mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
   Numbers|20:28  And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them
 upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and
 Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
   Numbers|20:29  And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead,
 they mourned for Aaron thirty days, [even] all the house of Israel.
   Numbers|21:1  And [when] king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the
 south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought
 against Israel, and took [some] of them prisoners.
   Numbers|21:2  And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou
 wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy
 their cities.
   Numbers|21:3  And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and

 delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their
 cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
   Numbers|21:4  And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red
 sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much
 discouraged because of the way.
   Numbers|21:5  And the people spake against God, and against Moses,
 Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for
 [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth
 this light bread.
   Numbers|21:6  And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they
 bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
   Numbers|21:7  Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have
 sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto
 the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the
 people.
   Numbers|21:8  And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent,
 and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is
 bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
   Numbers|21:9  And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole,
 and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld
 the serpent of brass, he lived.

   Numbers|21:10  And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in
 Oboth.
   Numbers|21:11  And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim,
 in the wilderness which [is] before Moab, toward the sunrising.
   Numbers|21:12  From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of
 Zared.
   Numbers|21:13  From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of
 Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the
 Amorites: for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
   Numbers|21:14  Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD,
 What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
   Numbers|21:15  And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the
 dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
   Numbers|21:16  And from thence [they went] to Beer: that [is] the well
 whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will
 give them water.
   Numbers|21:17  Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye
 unto it:
   Numbers|21:18  The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people
 digged it, by [the direction of] the lawgiver, with their staves. And from
 the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah:

   Numbers|21:19  And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to
 Bamoth:
   Numbers|21:20  And from Bamoth [in] the valley that [is] in the country
 of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
   Numbers|21:21  And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the
 Amorites, saying,
   Numbers|21:22  Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the
 fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink [of] the waters of the
 well: [but] we will go along by the king's [high] way, until we be past thy
 borders.
   Numbers|21:23  And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his
 border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against
 Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against
 Israel.
   Numbers|21:24  And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and
 possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon:
 for the border of the children of Ammon [was] strong.
   Numbers|21:25  And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all
 the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
   Numbers|21:26  For Heshbon [was] the city of Sihon the king of the
 Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his

 land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
   Numbers|21:27  Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into
 Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
   Numbers|21:28  For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the
 city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, [and] the lords of the high
 places of Arnon.
   Numbers|21:29  Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh:
 he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto
 Sihon king of the Amorites.
   Numbers|21:30  We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon,
 and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which [reacheth] unto Medeba.
   Numbers|21:31  Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
   Numbers|21:32  And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the
 villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that [were] there.
   Numbers|21:33  And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og
 the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the
 battle at Edrei.
   Numbers|21:34  And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have
 delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou
 shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt
 at Heshbon.

   Numbers|21:35  So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until
 there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
   Numbers|22:1  And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the
 plains of Moab on this side Jordan [by] Jericho.
   Numbers|22:2  And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to
 the Amorites.
   Numbers|22:3  And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they [were]
 many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
   Numbers|22:4  And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this
 company lick up all [that are] round about us, as the ox licketh up the
 grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor [was] king of the Moabites
 at that time.
   Numbers|22:5  He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to
 Pethor, which [is] by the river of the land of the children of his people,
 to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold,
 they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
   Numbers|22:6  Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for
 they [are] too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, [that] we may
 smite them, and [that] I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he
 whom thou blessest [is] blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
   Numbers|22:7  And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed

 with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam,
 and spake unto him the words of Balak.
   Numbers|22:8  And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will
 bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of
 Moab abode with Balaam.
   Numbers|22:9  And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men [are] these
 with thee?
   Numbers|22:10  And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of
 Moab, hath sent unto me, [saying],
   Numbers|22:11  Behold, [there is] a people come out of Egypt, which
 covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I
 shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
   Numbers|22:12  And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them;
 thou shalt not curse the people: for they [are] blessed.
   Numbers|22:13  And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the
 princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me
 leave to go with you.
   Numbers|22:14  And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak,
 and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
   Numbers|22:15  And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more
 honourable than they.

   Numbers|22:16  And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak
 the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto
 me:
   Numbers|22:17  For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will
 do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me
 this people.
   Numbers|22:18  And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak,
 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go
 beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
   Numbers|22:19  Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night,
 that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
   Numbers|22:20  And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If
 the men come to call thee, rise up, [and] go with them; but yet the word
 which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
   Numbers|22:21  And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass,
 and went with the princes of Moab.
   Numbers|22:22  And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel
 of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was
 riding upon his ass, and his two servants [were] with him.
   Numbers|22:23  And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way,
 and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way,

 and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the
 way.
   Numbers|22:24  But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the
 vineyards, a wall [being] on this side, and a wall on that side.
   Numbers|22:25  And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust
 herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he
 smote her again.
   Numbers|22:26  And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a
 narrow place, where [was] no way to turn either to the right hand or to the
 left.
   Numbers|22:27  And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down
 under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a
 staff.
   Numbers|22:28  And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said
 unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these
 three times?
   Numbers|22:29  And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me:
 I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
   Numbers|22:30  And the ass said unto Balaam, [Am] not I thine ass, upon
 which thou hast ridden ever since [I was] thine unto this day? was I ever
 wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.

   Numbers|22:31  Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the
 angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and
 he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
   Numbers|22:32  And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast
 thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand
 thee, because [thy] way is perverse before me:
   Numbers|22:33  And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times:
 unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved
 her alive.
   Numbers|22:34  And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned;
 for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if
 it displease thee, I will get me back again.
   Numbers|22:35  And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the
 men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak.
 So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
   Numbers|22:36  And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to
 meet him unto a city of Moab, which [is] in the border of Arnon, which [is]
 in the utmost coast.
   Numbers|22:37  And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto
 thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed
 to promote thee to honour?

   Numbers|22:38  And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have
 I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my
 mouth, that shall I speak.
   Numbers|22:39  And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto
 Kirjathhuzoth.
   Numbers|22:40  And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and
 to the princes that [were] with him.
   Numbers|22:41  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam,
 and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see
 the utmost [part] of the people.
   Numbers|23:1  And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and
 prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
   Numbers|23:2  And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam
 offered on [every] altar a bullock and a ram.
   Numbers|23:3  And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering,
 and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever
 he showeth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
   Numbers|23:4  And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared
 seven altars, and I have offered upon [every] altar a bullock and a ram.
   Numbers|23:5  And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return
 unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.

   Numbers|23:6  And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt
 sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
   Numbers|23:7  And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of
 Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, [saying],
 Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
   Numbers|23:8  How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I
 defy, [whom] the LORD hath not defied?
   Numbers|23:9  For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills
 I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned
 among the nations.
   Numbers|23:10  Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the
 fourth [part] of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my
 last end be like his!
   Numbers|23:11  And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I
 took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed [them]
 altogether.
   Numbers|23:12  And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak
 that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
   Numbers|23:13  And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me  unto
 another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the
 utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from

 thence.
   Numbers|23:14  And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of
 Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on [every]
 altar.
   Numbers|23:15  And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering,
 while I meet [the LORD] yonder.
   Numbers|23:16  And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and
 said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
   Numbers|23:17  And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt
 offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What
 hath the LORD spoken?
   Numbers|23:18  And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and
 hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
   Numbers|23:19  God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of
 man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath
 he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
   Numbers|23:20  Behold, I have received [commandment] to bless: and he
 hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
   Numbers|23:21  He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen
 perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God [is] with him, and the shout of a
 king [is] among them.

   Numbers|23:22  God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the
 strength of an unicorn.
   Numbers|23:23  Surely [there is] no enchantment against Jacob, neither
 [is there] any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall
 be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
   Numbers|23:24  Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift
 up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat [of] the
 prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
   Numbers|23:25  And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor
 bless them at all.
   Numbers|23:26  But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee,
 saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
   Numbers|23:27  And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will
 bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou
 mayest curse me them from thence.
   Numbers|23:28  And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that
 looketh toward Jeshimon.
   Numbers|23:29  And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars,
 and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
   Numbers|23:30  And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock
 and a ram on [every] altar.

   Numbers|24:1  And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless
 Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he
 set his face toward the wilderness.
   Numbers|24:2  And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding
 [in his tents] according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon
 him.
   Numbers|24:3  And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of
 Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
   Numbers|24:4  He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the
 vision of the Almighty, falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
   Numbers|24:5  How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, [and] thy tabernacles, O
 Israel!
   Numbers|24:6  As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the
 river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, [and]
 as cedar trees beside the waters.
   Numbers|24:7  He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed
 [shall be] in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his
 kingdom shall be exalted.
   Numbers|24:8  God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the
 strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall
 break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows.

   Numbers|24:9  He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who
 shall stir him up? Blessed [is] he that blesseth thee, and cursed [is] he
 that curseth thee.
   Numbers|24:10  And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote
 his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine
 enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed [them] these three
 times.
   Numbers|24:11  Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote
 thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
   Numbers|24:12  And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy
 messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
   Numbers|24:13  If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold,
 I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do [either] good or bad
 of mine own mind; [but] what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
   Numbers|24:14  And now, behold, I go unto my people: come [therefore,
 and] I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the
 latter days.
   Numbers|24:15  And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of
 Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
   Numbers|24:16  He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the
 knowledge of the most High, [which] saw the vision of the Almighty, falling

 [into a trance], but having his eyes open:
   Numbers|24:17  I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not
 nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of
 Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children
 of Sheth.
   Numbers|24:18  And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a
 possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
   Numbers|24:19  Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and
 shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
   Numbers|24:20  And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and
 said, Amalek [was] the first of the nations; but his latter end [shall be]
 that he perish for ever.
   Numbers|24:21  And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and
 said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
   Numbers|24:22  Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur
 shall carry thee away captive.
   Numbers|24:23  And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live
 when God doeth this!
   Numbers|24:24  And ships [shall come] from the coast of Chittim, and
 shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for
 ever.

   Numbers|24:25  And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place:
 and Balak also went his way.
   Numbers|25:1  And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit
 whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
   Numbers|25:2  And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their
 gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
   Numbers|25:3  And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of
 the LORD was kindled against Israel.
   Numbers|25:4  And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the
 people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce
 anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
   Numbers|25:5  And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one
 his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
   Numbers|25:6  And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought
 unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the
 sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who [were] weeping
 [before] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Numbers|25:7  And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the
 priest, saw [it], he rose up from among the congregation, and took a
 javelin in his hand;
   Numbers|25:8  And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and

 thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her
 belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
   Numbers|25:9  And those that died in the plague were twenty and four
 thousand.
   Numbers|25:10  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|25:11  Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
 hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous
 for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my
 jealousy.
   Numbers|25:12  Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of
 peace:
   Numbers|25:13  And he shall have it, and his seed after him, [even] the
 covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God,
 and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
   Numbers|25:14  Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, [even] that
 was slain with the Midianitish woman, [was] Zimri, the son of Salu, a
 prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
   Numbers|25:15  And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain [was]
 Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he [was] head over a people, [and] of a chief
 house in Midian.
   Numbers|25:16  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

   Numbers|25:17  Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
   Numbers|25:18  For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have
 beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the
 daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of
 the plague for Peor's sake.
   Numbers|26:1  And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake
 unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
   Numbers|26:2  Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of
 Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house,
 all that are able to go to war in Israel.
   Numbers|26:3  And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the
 plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
   Numbers|26:4  [Take the sum of the people], from twenty years old and
 upward; as the LORD commanded Moses and the children of Israel, which went
 forth out of the land of Egypt.

 [is that] Dathan and Abiram, [which were] famous in the congregation, who
 strove against Moses and against Aaron in the company of Korah, when they
 strove against the LORD:
   Numbers|26:10  And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up
 together with Korah, when that company died, what time the fire devoured
 two hundred and fifty men: and they became a sign.
   Numbers|26:11  Notwithstanding the children of Korah died not.

   Numbers|26:51  These [were] the numbered of the children of Israel, six

   Numbers|26:52  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|26:53  Unto these the land shall be divided for an inheritance
 according to the number of names.
   Numbers|26:54  To many thou shalt give the more inheritance, and to few
 thou shalt give the less inheritance: to every one shall his inheritance be
 given according to those that were numbered of him.
   Numbers|26:55  Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot:
 according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.
   Numbers|26:56  According to the lot shall the possession thereof be
 divided between many and few.

 before the LORD.
   Numbers|26:62  And those that were numbered of them were twenty and three
 thousand, all males from a month old and upward: for they were not numbered
 among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them
 among the children of Israel.
   Numbers|26:63  These [are] they that were numbered by Moses and Eleazar
 the priest, who numbered the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by
 Jordan [near] Jericho.
   Numbers|26:64  But among these there was not a man of them whom Moses and
 Aaron the priest numbered, when they numbered the children of Israel in the
 wilderness of Sinai.
   Numbers|26:65  For the LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in
 the wilderness. And there was not left a man of them, save Caleb the son of
 Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
   Numbers|27:1  Then came the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher,
 the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families
 of Manasseh the son of Joseph: and these [are] the names of his daughters;
 Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.
   Numbers|27:2  And they stood before Moses, and before Eleazar the priest,

 and before the princes and all the congregation, [by] the door of the
 tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
   Numbers|27:3  Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the
 company of them that gathered themselves together against the LORD in the
 company of Korah; but died in his own sin, and had no sons.
   Numbers|27:4  Why should the name of our father be done away from among
 his family, because he hath no son? Give unto us [therefore] a possession
 among the brethren of our father.
   Numbers|27:5  And Moses brought their cause before the LORD.
   Numbers|27:6  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|27:7  The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely
 give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and
 thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.
   Numbers|27:8  And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
 If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass
 unto his daughter.
   Numbers|27:9  And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his
 inheritance unto his brethren.
   Numbers|27:10  And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his
 inheritance unto his father's brethren.
   Numbers|27:11  And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his

 inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he
 shall possess it: and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of
 judgment, as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Numbers|27:12  And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount
 Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
   Numbers|27:13  And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered
 unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
   Numbers|27:14  For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of
 Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before
 their eyes: that [is] the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of
 Zin.
   Numbers|27:15  And Moses spake unto the LORD, saying,
   Numbers|27:16  Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a
 man over the congregation,
   Numbers|27:17  Which may go out before them, and which may go in before
 them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the
 congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
   Numbers|27:18  And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of
 Nun, a man in whom [is] the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
   Numbers|27:19  And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
 congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.

   Numbers|27:20  And thou shalt put [some] of thine honour upon him, that
 all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
   Numbers|27:21  And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall
 ask [counsel] for him after the judgment of Urim before the LORD: at his
 word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, [both] he, and
 all the children of Israel with him, even all the congregation.
   Numbers|27:22  And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took
 Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the
 congregation:
   Numbers|27:23  And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as
 the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
   Numbers|28:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|28:2  Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My
 offering, [and] my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a sweet
 savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
   Numbers|28:3  And thou shalt say unto them, This [is] the offering made
 by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year
 without spot day by day, [for] a continual burnt offering.
   Numbers|28:4  The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other
 lamb shalt thou offer at even;
   Numbers|28:5  And a tenth [part] of an ephah of flour for a meat

 offering, mingled with the fourth [part] of an hin of beaten oil.
   Numbers|28:6  [It is] a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in
 mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
   Numbers|28:7  And the drink offering thereof [shall be] the fourth [part]
 of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy [place] shalt thou cause the strong
 wine to be poured unto the LORD [for] a drink offering.
   Numbers|28:8  And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat
 offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt
 offer [it], a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
   Numbers|28:9  And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without
 spot, and two tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering, mingled with oil,
 and the drink offering thereof:
   Numbers|28:10  [This is] the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the
 continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
   Numbers|28:11  And in the beginnings of your months ye shall offer a
 burnt offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, seven lambs
 of the first year without spot;
   Numbers|28:12  And three tenth deals of flour [for] a meat offering,
 mingled with oil, for one bullock; and two tenth deals of flour [for] a
 meat offering, mingled with oil, for one ram;
   Numbers|28:13  And a several tenth deal of flour mingled with oil [for] a

 meat offering unto one lamb; [for] a burnt offering of a sweet savour, a
 sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.
   Numbers|28:14  And their drink offerings shall be half an hin of wine
 unto a bullock, and the third [part] of an hin unto a ram, and a fourth
 [part] of an hin unto a lamb: this [is] the burnt offering of every month
 throughout the months of the year.
   Numbers|28:15  And one kid of the goats for a sin offering unto the LORD
 shall be offered, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink
 offering.
   Numbers|28:16  And in the fourteenth day of the first month [is] the
 passover of the LORD.
   Numbers|28:17  And in the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast:
 seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
   Numbers|28:18  In the first day [shall be] an holy convocation; ye shall
 do no manner of servile work [therein]:
   Numbers|28:19  But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire [for] a burnt
 offering unto the LORD; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs of
 the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
   Numbers|28:20  And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled with
 oil: three tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals
 for a ram;

   Numbers|28:21  A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for every lamb,
 throughout the seven lambs:
   Numbers|28:22  And one goat [for] a sin offering, to make an atonement
 for you.
   Numbers|28:23  Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the
 morning, which [is] for a continual burnt offering.
   Numbers|28:24  After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the
 seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet  savour unto
 the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his
 drink offering.
   Numbers|28:25  And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation;
 ye shall do no servile work.
   Numbers|28:26  Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new
 meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks [be out], ye shall have an
 holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work:
   Numbers|28:27  But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour
 unto the LORD; two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year;
   Numbers|28:28  And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three
 tenth deals unto one bullock, two tenth deals unto one ram,
   Numbers|28:29  A several tenth deal unto one lamb, throughout the seven
 lambs;

   Numbers|28:30  [And] one kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you.

   Numbers|28:31  Ye shall offer [them] beside the continual burnt offering,
 and his meat offering, (they shall be unto you without blemish) and their
 drink offerings.
   Numbers|29:1  And in the seventh month, on the first [day] of the month,
 ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work: it is a day
 of blowing the trumpets unto you.
   Numbers|29:2  And ye shall offer a burnt offering for a sweet savour unto
 the LORD; one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven lambs of the first year
 without blemish:
   Numbers|29:3  And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled with
 oil, three tenth deals for a bullock, [and] two tenth deals for a ram,
   Numbers|29:4  And one tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven
 lambs:
   Numbers|29:5  And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering, to make an
 atonement for you:
   Numbers|29:6  Beside the burnt offering of the month, and his meat
 offering, and the daily burnt offering, and his meat offering, and their
 drink offerings, according unto their manner, for a sweet savour, a
 sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

   Numbers|29:7  And ye shall have on the tenth [day] of this seventh month
 an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any
 work [therein]:
   Numbers|29:8  But ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD [for] a
 sweet savour; one young bullock, one ram, [and] seven lambs of the first
 year; they shall be unto you without blemish:
   Numbers|29:9  And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled with
 oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, [and] two tenth deals to one ram,
   Numbers|29:10  A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven
 lambs:
   Numbers|29:11  One kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside the sin
 offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat
 offering of it, and their drink offerings.
   Numbers|29:12  And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month ye shall
 have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work, and ye shall keep a
 feast unto the LORD seven days:
   Numbers|29:13  And ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by
 fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; thirteen young bullocks, two rams,
 [and] fourteen lambs of the first year; they shall be without blemish:
   Numbers|29:14  And their meat offering [shall be of] flour mingled with
 oil, three tenth deals unto every bullock of the thirteen bullocks, two

 tenth deals to each ram of the two rams,
   Numbers|29:15  And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen

   Numbers|29:16  And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside the
 continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
   Numbers|29:17  And on the second day [ye shall offer] twelve young
 bullocks, two rams, fourteen lambs of the first year without spot:
   Numbers|29:18  And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
 bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their
 number, after the manner:
   Numbers|29:19  And one kid of the goats [for] a sin offering; beside the

   Numbers|29:20  And on the third day eleven bullocks, two rams, fourteen

   Numbers|29:23  And on the fourth day ten bullocks, two rams, [and]

   Numbers|29:34  And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the continual
 burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.
   Numbers|29:35  On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye
 shall do no servile work [therein]:
   Numbers|29:36  But ye shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by
 fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of
 the first year without blemish:
   Numbers|29:37  Their meat offering and their drink offerings for the
 bullock, for the ram, and for the lambs, [shall be] according to their
 number, after the manner:
   Numbers|29:38  And one goat [for] a sin offering; beside the continual
 burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering.
   Numbers|29:39  These [things] ye shall do unto the LORD in your set
 feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt
 offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and
 for your peace offerings.
   Numbers|29:40  And Moses told the children of Israel according to all

 that the LORD commanded Moses.
   Numbers|30:1  And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the
 children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath
 commanded.
   Numbers|30:2  If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind
 his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to
 all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
   Numbers|30:3  If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself
 by a bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth;
   Numbers|30:4  And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she
 hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all
 her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul
 shall stand.
   Numbers|30:5  But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth;
 not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul,
 shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed
 her.
   Numbers|30:6  And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or
 uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
   Numbers|30:7  And her husband heard [it,] and held his peace at her in
 the day that he heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds

 wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
   Numbers|30:8  But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard
 [it]; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she
 uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and
 the LORD shall forgive her.
   Numbers|30:9  But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,
 wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
   Numbers|30:10  And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul
 by a bond with an oath;
   Numbers|30:11  And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her,
 [and] disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond
 wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
   Numbers|30:12  But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day
 he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her
 vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath
 made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
   Numbers|30:13  Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her
 husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
   Numbers|30:14  But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from
 day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which
 [are] upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the

 day that he heard [them].
   Numbers|30:15  But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath
 heard [them]; then he shall bear her iniquity.
   Numbers|30:16  These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses,
 between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being
 yet] in her youth in her father's house.
   Numbers|31:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|31:2  Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward
 shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
   Numbers|31:3  And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of
 yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge
 the LORD of Midian.
   Numbers|31:4  Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of
 Israel, shall ye send to the war.
   Numbers|31:5  So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a
 thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
   Numbers|31:6  And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every]
 tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with
 the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
   Numbers|31:7  And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD
 commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

   Numbers|31:8  And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them
 that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five
 kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
   Numbers|31:9  And the children of Israel took [all] the women of Midian
 captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle,
 and all their flocks, and all their goods.
   Numbers|31:10  And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and
 all their goodly castles, with fire.
   Numbers|31:11  And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of
 men and of beasts.
   Numbers|31:12  And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the
 spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the
 children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by
 Jordan [near] Jericho.
   Numbers|31:13  And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of
 the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
   Numbers|31:14  And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, [with]
 the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from
 the battle.
   Numbers|31:15  And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women
 alive?

   Numbers|31:16  Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the
 counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of
 Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
   Numbers|31:17  Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and
 kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
   Numbers|31:18  But all the women children, that have not known a man by
 lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
   Numbers|31:19  And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever
 hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify [both]
 yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
   Numbers|31:20  And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of
 skins, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood.
   Numbers|31:21  And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went
 to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded
 Moses;
   Numbers|31:22  Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the
 tin, and the lead,
   Numbers|31:23  Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] go
 through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified
 with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall
 make go through the water.

   Numbers|31:24  And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye
 shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
   Numbers|31:25  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|31:26  Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man and
 of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the
 congregation:
   Numbers|31:27  And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took
 the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the
 congregation:
   Numbers|31:28  And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which
 went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of
 the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
   Numbers|31:29  Take [it] of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the
 priest, [for] an heave offering of the LORD.
   Numbers|31:30  And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one
 portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the
 flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep
 the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
   Numbers|31:31  And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded
 Moses.
   Numbers|31:32  And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men

 of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five
 thousand sheep.
   Numbers|31:33  And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
   Numbers|31:34  And threescore and one thousand asses,
   Numbers|31:35  And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that
 had not known man by lying with him.
   Numbers|31:36  And the half, [which was] the portion of them that went
 out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty
 thousand and five hundred sheep:
   Numbers|31:37  And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and
 threescore and fifteen.
   Numbers|31:38  And the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which
 the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and twelve.
   Numbers|31:39  And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred; of
 which the LORD'S tribute [was] threescore and one.
   Numbers|31:40  And the persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which the
 LORD'S tribute [was] thirty and two persons.
   Numbers|31:41  And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD'S heave
 offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Numbers|31:42  And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided
 from the men that warred,

   Numbers|31:43  (Now the half [that pertained unto] the congregation was
 three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five
 hundred sheep,
   Numbers|31:44  And thirty and six thousand beeves,
   Numbers|31:45  And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
   Numbers|31:46  And sixteen thousand persons;)
   Numbers|31:47  Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one
 portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them unto the
 Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD
 commanded Moses.
   Numbers|31:48  And the officers which [were] over thousands of the host,
 the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
   Numbers|31:49  And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum
 of the men of war which [are] under our charge, and there lacketh not one
 man of us.
   Numbers|31:50  We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what
 every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings,
 earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
   Numbers|31:51  And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them,
 [even] all wrought jewels.
   Numbers|31:52  And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to

 the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds,
 was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
   Numbers|31:53  ([For] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for
 himself.)
   Numbers|31:54  And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the
 captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle
 of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the children of Israel before the
 LORD.
   Numbers|32:1  Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a
 very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and
 the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;
   Numbers|32:2  The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and
 spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the
 congregation, saying,
   Numbers|32:3  Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and
 Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
   Numbers|32:4  [Even] the country which the LORD smote before the
 congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have
 cattle:
   Numbers|32:5  Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight,
 let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us

 not over Jordan.
   Numbers|32:6  And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children
 of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
   Numbers|32:7  And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of
 Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
   Numbers|32:8  Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea
 to see the land.
   Numbers|32:9  For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw
 the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they
 should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
   Numbers|32:10  And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he
 sware, saying,
   Numbers|32:11  Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from
 twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham,
 unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
   Numbers|32:12  Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua
 the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
   Numbers|32:13  And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he
 made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation,
 that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
   Numbers|32:14  And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an

 increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward
 Israel.
   Numbers|32:15  For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again
 leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
   Numbers|32:16  And they came near unto him, and said, We will build
 sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
   Numbers|32:17  But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children
 of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones
 shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
   Numbers|32:18  We will not return unto our houses, until the children of
 Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
   Numbers|32:19  For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan,
 or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan
 eastward.
   Numbers|32:20  And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye
 will go armed before the LORD to war,
   Numbers|32:21  And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD,
 until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
   Numbers|32:22  And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye
 shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this
 land shall be your possession before the LORD.

   Numbers|32:23  But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against
 the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
   Numbers|32:24  Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your
 sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
   Numbers|32:25  And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake
 unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
   Numbers|32:26  Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our
 cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
   Numbers|32:27  But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war,
 before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
   Numbers|32:28  So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and
 Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children
 of Israel:
   Numbers|32:29  And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the
 children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to
 battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye
 shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
   Numbers|32:30  But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall
 have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
   Numbers|32:31  And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben
 answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

   Numbers|32:32  We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of
 Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be]
 ours.
   Numbers|32:33  And Moses gave unto them, [even] to the children of Gad,
 and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son
 of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og
 king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, [even] the
 cities of the country round about.
   Numbers|32:34  And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and
 Aroer,
   Numbers|32:35  And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
   Numbers|32:36  And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds
 for sheep.
   Numbers|32:37  And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and
 Kirjathaim,
   Numbers|32:38  And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and
 Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
   Numbers|32:39  And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to
 Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which [was] in it.
   Numbers|32:40  And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and
 he dwelt therein.

   Numbers|32:41  And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns
 thereof, and called them Havothjair.
   Numbers|32:42  And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof,
 and called it Nobah, after his own name.
   Numbers|33:1  These [are] the journeys of the children of Israel, which
 went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of
 Moses and Aaron.
   Numbers|33:2  And Moses wrote their goings out according to their
 journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these [are] their journeys
 according to their goings out.
   Numbers|33:3  And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the
 fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the
 children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the
 Egyptians.
   Numbers|33:4  For the Egyptians buried all [their] firstborn, which the
 LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed
 judgments.
   Numbers|33:5  And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and
 pitched in Succoth.
   Numbers|33:6  And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which
 [is] in the edge of the wilderness.

   Numbers|33:7  And they removed from Etham, and turned again unto
 Pihahiroth, which [is] before Baalzephon: and they pitched before Migdol.
   Numbers|33:8  And they departed from before Pihahiroth, and passed
 through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and went three days'
 journey in the wilderness of Etham, and pitched in Marah.
   Numbers|33:9  And they removed from Marah, and came unto Elim: and in
 Elim [were] twelve fountains of water, and threescore and ten palm trees;
 and they pitched there.
   Numbers|33:10  And they removed from Elim, and encamped by the Red sea.
   Numbers|33:11  And they removed from the Red sea, and encamped in the
 wilderness of Sin.
   Numbers|33:12  And they took their journey out of the wilderness of Sin,
 and encamped in Dophkah.
   Numbers|33:13  And they departed from Dophkah, and encamped in Alush.
   Numbers|33:14  And they removed from Alush, and encamped at Rephidim,
 where was no water for the people to drink.
   Numbers|33:15  And they departed from Rephidim, and pitched in the
 wilderness of Sinai.
   Numbers|33:16  And they removed from the desert of Sinai, and pitched at
 Kibrothhattaavah.
   Numbers|33:17  And they departed from Kibrothhattaavah, and encamped at

 Hazeroth.
   Numbers|33:18  And they departed from Hazeroth, and pitched in Rithmah.
   Numbers|33:19  And they departed from Rithmah, and pitched at
 Rimmonparez.
   Numbers|33:20  And they departed from Rimmonparez, and pitched in Libnah.
   Numbers|33:21  And they removed from Libnah, and pitched at Rissah.
   Numbers|33:22  And they journeyed from Rissah, and pitched in Kehelathah.
   Numbers|33:23  And they went from Kehelathah, and pitched in mount
 Shapher.
   Numbers|33:24  And they removed from mount Shapher, and encamped in
 Haradah.
   Numbers|33:25  And they removed from Haradah, and pitched in Makheloth.
   Numbers|33:26  And they removed from Makheloth, and encamped at Tahath.
   Numbers|33:27  And they departed from Tahath, and pitched at Tarah.
   Numbers|33:28  And they removed from Tarah, and pitched in Mithcah.
   Numbers|33:29  And they went from Mithcah, and pitched in Hashmonah.
   Numbers|33:30  And they departed from Hashmonah, and encamped at
 Moseroth.
   Numbers|33:31  And they departed from Moseroth, and pitched in
 Benejaakan.
   Numbers|33:32  And they removed from Benejaakan, and encamped at

 Horhagidgad.
   Numbers|33:33  And they went from Horhagidgad, and pitched in Jotbathah.
   Numbers|33:34  And they removed from Jotbathah, and encamped at Ebronah.
   Numbers|33:35  And they departed from Ebronah, and encamped at
 Eziongaber.
   Numbers|33:36  And they removed from Eziongaber, and pitched in the
 wilderness of Zin, which [is] Kadesh.
   Numbers|33:37  And they removed from Kadesh, and pitched in mount Hor, in
 the edge of the land of Edom.
   Numbers|33:38  And Aaron the priest went up into mount Hor at the
 commandment of the LORD, and died there, in the fortieth year after the
 children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first [day]
 of the fifth month.
   Numbers|33:39  And Aaron [was] an hundred and twenty and three years old
 when he died in mount Hor.
   Numbers|33:40  And king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south in
 the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.
   Numbers|33:41  And they departed from mount Hor, and pitched in Zalmonah.
   Numbers|33:42  And they departed from Zalmonah, and pitched in Punon.
   Numbers|33:43  And they departed from Punon, and pitched in Oboth.
   Numbers|33:44  And they departed from Oboth, and pitched in Ijeabarim, in

 the border of Moab.
   Numbers|33:45  And they departed from Iim, and pitched in Dibongad.
   Numbers|33:46  And they removed from Dibongad, and encamped in
 Almondiblathaim.
   Numbers|33:47  And they removed from Almondiblathaim, and pitched in the
 mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.
   Numbers|33:48  And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and
 pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.
   Numbers|33:49  And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth [even] unto
 Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
   Numbers|33:50  And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by
 Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
   Numbers|33:51  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When
 ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
   Numbers|33:52  Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land
 from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their
 molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
   Numbers|33:53  And ye shall dispossess [the inhabitants] of the land, and
 dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
   Numbers|33:54  And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance
 among your families: [and] to the more ye shall give the more inheritance,

 and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's
 [inheritance] shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the
 tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
   Numbers|33:55  But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land
 from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain
 of them [shall be] pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall
 vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
   Numbers|33:56  Moreover it shall come to pass, [that] I shall do unto
 you, as I thought to do unto them.
   Numbers|34:1  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|34:2  Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye
 come into the land of Canaan; (this [is] the land that shall fall unto you
 for an inheritance, [even] the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
   Numbers|34:3  Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin
 along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost
 coast of the salt sea eastward:
   Numbers|34:4  And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of
 Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the
 south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
   Numbers|34:5  And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the
 river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.

   Numbers|34:6  And [as for] the western border, ye shall even have the
 great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
   Numbers|34:7  And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye
 shall point out for you mount Hor:
   Numbers|34:8  From mount Hor ye shall point out [your border] unto the
 entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
   Numbers|34:9  And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out
 of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
   Numbers|34:10  And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to
 Shepham:
   Numbers|34:11  And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the
 east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the
 side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
   Numbers|34:12  And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out
 of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts
 thereof round about.
   Numbers|34:13  And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This
 [is] the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to
 give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
   Numbers|34:14  For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the
 house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to

 the house of their fathers, have received [their inheritance]; and half the
 tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
   Numbers|34:15  The two tribes and the half tribe have received their
 inheritance on this side Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward the
 sunrising.
   Numbers|34:16  And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
   Numbers|34:17  These [are] the names of the men which shall divide the
 land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
   Numbers|34:18  And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the
 land by inheritance.
   Numbers|34:19  And the names of the men [are] these: Of the tribe of
 Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
   Numbers|34:20  And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the
 son of Ammihud.
   Numbers|34:21  Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
   Numbers|34:22  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki
 the son of Jogli.
   Numbers|34:23  The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the
 children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
   Numbers|34:24  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim,
 Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.

   Numbers|34:25  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun,
 Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
   Numbers|34:26  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar,
 Paltiel the son of Azzan.
   Numbers|34:27  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher,
 Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
   Numbers|34:28  And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali,
 Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
   Numbers|34:29  These [are they] whom the LORD commanded to divide the
 inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
   Numbers|36:1  And the chief fathers of the families of the children of
 Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons
 of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the
 chief fathers of the children of Israel:
   Numbers|36:2  And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land
 for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was
 commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother
 unto his daughters.
   Numbers|36:3  And if they be married to any of the sons of the [other]
 tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken
 from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of

 the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of
 our inheritance.
   Numbers|36:4  And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be,
 then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe
 whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from
 the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
   Numbers|36:5  And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the
 word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
   Numbers|36:6  This [is] the thing which the LORD doth command concerning
 the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think
 best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
   Numbers|36:7  So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel
 remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall
 keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
   Numbers|36:8  And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any
 tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of
 the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man
 the inheritance of his fathers.
   Numbers|36:9  Neither shall the inheritance remove from [one] tribe to
 another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall
 keep himself to his own inheritance.

   Numbers|36:10  Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of
 Zelophehad:
   Numbers|36:11  For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the
 daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
   Numbers|36:12  [And] they were married into the families of the sons of
 Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of
 the family of their father.
   Numbers|36:13  These [are] the commandments and the judgments, which the
 LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the
 plains of Moab by Jordan [near] Jericho.
   Deuteronomy|1:1  These [be] the words which Moses spake unto all Israel
 on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red
 [sea], between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
   Deuteronomy|1:2  ([There are] eleven days' [journey] from Horeb by the
 way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
   Deuteronomy|1:3  And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the
 eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, [that] Moses spake unto
 the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in
 commandment unto them;
   Deuteronomy|1:4  After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which
 dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in

 Edrei:
   Deuteronomy|1:5  On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to
 declare this law, saying,
   Deuteronomy|1:6  The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have
 dwelt long enough in this mount:
   Deuteronomy|1:7  Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of
 the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the plain, in
 the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the
 land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river
 Euphrates.
   Deuteronomy|1:8  Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and
 possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac,
 and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
   Deuteronomy|1:9  And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able
 to bear you myself alone:
   Deuteronomy|1:10  The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye
 [are] this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
   Deuteronomy|1:11  (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times
 so many more as ye [are], and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
   Deuteronomy|1:12  How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your
 burden, and your strife?

   Deuteronomy|1:13  Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among
 your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
   Deuteronomy|1:14  And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast
 spoken [is] good [for us] to do.
   Deuteronomy|1:15  So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and
 known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains
 over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and
 officers among your tribes.
   Deuteronomy|1:16  And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear
 [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between [every]
 man and his brother, and the stranger [that is] with him.
   Deuteronomy|1:17  Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; [but] ye
 shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the
 face of man; for the judgment [is] God's: and the cause that is too hard
 for you, bring [it] unto me, and I will hear it.
   Deuteronomy|1:18  And I commanded you at that time all the things which
 ye should do.
   Deuteronomy|1:19  And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all
 that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain
 of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to
 Kadeshbarnea.

   Deuteronomy|1:20  And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of
 the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
   Deuteronomy|1:21  Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee:
 go up [and] possess [it], as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto
 thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
   Deuteronomy|1:22  And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We
 will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring
 us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall
 come.
   Deuteronomy|1:23  And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men
 of you, one of a tribe:
   Deuteronomy|1:24  And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came
 unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
   Deuteronomy|1:25  And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands,
 and brought [it] down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, [It is]
 a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
   Deuteronomy|1:26  Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled
 against the commandment of the LORD your God:
   Deuteronomy|1:27  And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the
 LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to
 deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.

   Deuteronomy|1:28  Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged
 our heart, saying, The people [is] greater and taller than we; the cities
 [are] great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of
 the Anakims there.
   Deuteronomy|1:29  Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of
 them.
   Deuteronomy|1:30  The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall
 fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your
 eyes;
   Deuteronomy|1:31  And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that
 the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that
 ye went, until ye came into this place.
   Deuteronomy|1:32  Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
   Deuteronomy|1:33  Who went in the way before you, to search you out a
 place to pitch your tents [in], in fire by night, to show you by what way
 ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
   Deuteronomy|1:34  And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was
 wroth, and sware, saying,
   Deuteronomy|1:35  Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil
 generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
   Deuteronomy|1:36  Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and

 to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children,
 because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
   Deuteronomy|1:37  Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying,
 Thou also shalt not go in thither.
   Deuteronomy|1:38  [But] Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before
 thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to
 inherit it.
   Deuteronomy|1:39  Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a
 prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good
 and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they
 shall possess it.
   Deuteronomy|1:40  But [as for] you, turn you, and take your journey into
 the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
   Deuteronomy|1:41  Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned
 against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD
 our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of
 war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
   Deuteronomy|1:42  And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up,
 neither fight; for I [am] not among you; lest ye be smitten before your
 enemies.
   Deuteronomy|1:43  So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but

 rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up
 into the hill.
   Deuteronomy|1:44  And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came
 out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir,
 [even] unto Hormah.
   Deuteronomy|1:45  And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD
 would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
   Deuteronomy|1:46  So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the
 days that ye abode [there].
   Deuteronomy|2:1  Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness
 by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed
 mount Seir many days.
   Deuteronomy|2:2  And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
   Deuteronomy|2:3  Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you
 northward.
   Deuteronomy|2:4  And command thou the people, saying, Ye [are] to pass
 through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in
 Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves
 therefore:
   Deuteronomy|2:5  Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their
 land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir

 unto Esau [for] a possession.
   Deuteronomy|2:6  Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat;
 and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
   Deuteronomy|2:7  For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works
 of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these
 forty years the LORD thy God [hath been] with thee; thou hast lacked
 nothing.
   Deuteronomy|2:8  And when we passed by from our brethren the children of
 Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and
 from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
   Deuteronomy|2:9  And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites,
 neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land
 [for] a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot [for]
 a possession.
   Deuteronomy|2:10  The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great,
 and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
   Deuteronomy|2:11  Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but
 the Moabites call them Emims.
   Deuteronomy|2:12  The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the
 children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before
 them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his

 possession, which the LORD gave unto them.
   Deuteronomy|2:13  Now rise up, [said I], and get you over the brook
 Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
   Deuteronomy|2:14  And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until
 we were come over the brook Zered, [was] thirty and eight years; until all
 the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as
 the LORD sware unto them.
   Deuteronomy|2:15  For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to
 destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
   Deuteronomy|2:16  So it came to pass, when all the men of war were
 consumed and dead from among the people,
   Deuteronomy|2:17  That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
   Deuteronomy|2:18  Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab,
 this day:
   Deuteronomy|2:19  And [when] thou comest nigh over against the children
 of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee
 of the land of the children of Ammon [any] possession; because I have given
 it unto the children of Lot [for] a possession.
   Deuteronomy|2:20  (That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt
 therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
   Deuteronomy|2:21  A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but

 the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in
 their stead:
   Deuteronomy|2:22  As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir,
 when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and
 dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
   Deuteronomy|2:23  And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, [even] unto
 Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and
 dwelt in their stead.)
   Deuteronomy|2:24  Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river
 Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of
 Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess [it], and contend with him in
 battle.
   Deuteronomy|2:25  This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the
 fear of thee upon the nations [that are] under the whole heaven, who shall
 hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
   Deuteronomy|2:26  And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth
 unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
   Deuteronomy|2:27  Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the
 high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
   Deuteronomy|2:28  Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and
 give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my

 feet;
   Deuteronomy|2:29  (As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the
 Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan
 into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
   Deuteronomy|2:30  But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him:
 for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate,
 that he might deliver him into thy hand, as [appeareth] this day.
   Deuteronomy|2:31  And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give
 Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit
 his land.
   Deuteronomy|2:32  Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people,
 to fight at Jahaz.
   Deuteronomy|2:33  And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we
 smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
   Deuteronomy|2:34  And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly
 destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we
 left none to remain:
   Deuteronomy|2:35  Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and
 the spoil of the cities which we took.
   Deuteronomy|2:36  From Aroer, which [is] by the brink of the river of
 Arnon, and [from] the city that [is] by the river, even unto Gilead, there

 was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:
   Deuteronomy|2:37  Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest
 not, [nor] unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the
 mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
   Deuteronomy|3:1  Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og
 the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at
 Edrei.
   Deuteronomy|3:2  And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will
 deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou
 shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which
 dwelt at Heshbon.
   Deuteronomy|3:3  So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also,
 the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was
 left to him remaining.
   Deuteronomy|3:4  And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a
 city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of
 Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
   Deuteronomy|3:5  All these cities [were] fenced with high walls, gates,
 and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
   Deuteronomy|3:6  And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king
 of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

   Deuteronomy|3:7  But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took
 for a prey to ourselves.
   Deuteronomy|3:8  And we took at that time out of the hand of the two
 kings of the Amorites the land that [was] on this side Jordan, from the
 river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;
   Deuteronomy|3:9  ([Which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the
 Amorites call it Shenir;)
   Deuteronomy|3:10  All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all
 Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
   Deuteronomy|3:11  For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of
 giants; behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in
 Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and
 four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
   Deuteronomy|3:12  And this land, [which] we possessed at that time, from
 Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities
 thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
   Deuteronomy|3:13  And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, [being] the
 kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of
 Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
   Deuteronomy|3:14  Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob
 unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own

 name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
   Deuteronomy|3:15  And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
   Deuteronomy|3:16  And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave
 from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even
 unto the river Jabbok, [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;
   Deuteronomy|3:17  The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast [thereof],
 from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, under
 Ashdothpisgah eastward.
   Deuteronomy|3:18  And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your
 God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before
 your brethren the children of Israel, all [that are] meet for the war.
   Deuteronomy|3:19  But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle,
 ([for] I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I
 have given you;
   Deuteronomy|3:20  Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as
 well as unto you, and [until] they also possess the land which the LORD
 your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and [then] shall ye return every
 man unto his possession, which I have given you.
   Deuteronomy|3:21  And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes
 have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so
 shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

   Deuteronomy|3:22  Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall
 fight for you.
   Deuteronomy|3:23  And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
   Deuteronomy|3:24  O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy
 greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God [is there] in heaven or in
 earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?
   Deuteronomy|3:25  I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that
 [is] beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
   Deuteronomy|3:26  But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and
 would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no
 more unto me of this matter.
   Deuteronomy|3:27  Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine
 eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold [it]
 with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
   Deuteronomy|3:28  But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen
 him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to
 inherit the land which thou shalt see.
   Deuteronomy|3:29  So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
   Deuteronomy|4:1  Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and
 unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do [them], that ye may live,
 and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth

 you.
   Deuteronomy|4:2  Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
 neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the
 commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
   Deuteronomy|4:3  Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of
 Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath
 destroyed them from among you.
   Deuteronomy|4:4  But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God [are]
 alive every one of you this day.
   Deuteronomy|4:5  Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even
 as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither
 ye go to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|4:6  Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom
 and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all
 these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and
 understanding people.
   Deuteronomy|4:7  For what nation [is there so] great, who [hath] God [so]
 nigh unto them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon
 him [for]?
   Deuteronomy|4:8  And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes
 and judgments [so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this

 day?
   Deuteronomy|4:9  Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently,
 lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they
 depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons,
 and thy sons' sons;
   Deuteronomy|4:10  [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD
 thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people
 together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear
 me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that] they may
 teach their children.
   Deuteronomy|4:11  And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the
 mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds,
 and thick darkness.
   Deuteronomy|4:12  And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the
 fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye
 heard] a voice.
   Deuteronomy|4:13  And he declared unto you his covenant, which he
 commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon
 two tables of stone.
   Deuteronomy|4:14  And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you
 statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go

 over to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|4:15  Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw
 no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spake unto you in Horeb
 out of the midst of the fire:
   Deuteronomy|4:16  Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make you a graven
 image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
   Deuteronomy|4:17  The likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the
 likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
   Deuteronomy|4:18  The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground,
 the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:
   Deuteronomy|4:19  And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when
 thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of
 heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD
 thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
   Deuteronomy|4:20  But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out
 of the iron furnace, [even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of
 inheritance, as [ye are] this day.
   Deuteronomy|4:21  Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes,
 and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in
 unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an
 inheritance:

   Deuteronomy|4:22  But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan:
 but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
   Deuteronomy|4:23  Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant
 of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image,
 [or] the likeness of any [thing], which the LORD thy God hath forbidden
 thee.
   Deuteronomy|4:24  For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a
 jealous God.
   Deuteronomy|4:25  When thou shalt beget children, and children's
 children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt
 [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing],
 and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to
 anger:
   Deuteronomy|4:26  I call heaven and earth to witness against you this
 day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go
 over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but
 shall utterly be destroyed.
   Deuteronomy|4:27  And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and
 ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall
 lead you.
   Deuteronomy|4:28  And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands,

 wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
   Deuteronomy|4:29  But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
 thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy
 soul.
   Deuteronomy|4:30  When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are
 come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy
 God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
   Deuteronomy|4:31  (For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God;) he will not
 forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers
 which he sware unto them.
   Deuteronomy|4:32  For ask now of the days that are past, which were
 before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and [ask]
 from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been [any
 such thing] as this great thing [is], or hath been heard like it?
   Deuteronomy|4:33  Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of
 the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
   Deuteronomy|4:34  Or hath God assayed to go [and] take him a nation from
 the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders,
 and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great
 terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt
 before your eyes?

   Deuteronomy|4:35  Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that
 the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him.
   Deuteronomy|4:36  Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he
 might instruct thee: and upon earth he showed thee his great fire; and thou
 heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
   Deuteronomy|4:37  And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose
 their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty
 power out of Egypt;
   Deuteronomy|4:38  To drive out nations from before thee greater and
 mightier than thou [art], to bring thee in, to give thee their land [for]
 an inheritance, as [it is] this day.
   Deuteronomy|4:39  Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine
 heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth
 beneath: [there is] none else.
   Deuteronomy|4:40  Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his
 commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee,
 and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong [thy] days
 upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
   Deuteronomy|4:41  Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan
 toward the sun rising;
   Deuteronomy|4:42  That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill

 his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing
 unto one of these cities he might live:
   Deuteronomy|4:43  [Namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain
 country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan
 in Bashan, of the Manassites.
   Deuteronomy|4:44  And this [is] the law which Moses set before the
 children of Israel:
   Deuteronomy|4:45  These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
 judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came
 forth out of Egypt,
   Deuteronomy|4:46  On this side Jordan, in the valley over against
 Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon,
 whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out
 of Egypt:
   Deuteronomy|4:47  And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of
 Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which [were] on this side Jordan toward
 the sun rising;
   Deuteronomy|4:48  From Aroer, which [is] by the bank of the river Arnon,
 even unto mount Sion, which [is] Hermon,
   Deuteronomy|4:49  And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even
 unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.

   Deuteronomy|5:1  And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O
 Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day,
 that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
   Deuteronomy|5:2  The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
   Deuteronomy|5:3  The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but
 with us, [even] us, who [are] all of us here alive this day.
   Deuteronomy|5:4  The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out
 of the midst of the fire,
   Deuteronomy|5:5  (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show
 you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and
 went not up into the mount;) saying,
   Deuteronomy|5:6  I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the
 land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
   Deuteronomy|5:7  Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
   Deuteronomy|5:8  Thou shalt not make thee [any] graven image, [or] any
 likeness [of any thing] that [is] in heaven above, or that [is] in the
 earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters beneath the earth:
   Deuteronomy|5:9  Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve
 them: for I the LORD thy God [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
 the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of
 them that hate me,

   Deuteronomy|5:10  And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me
 and keep my commandments.
   Deuteronomy|5:11  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in
 vain: for the LORD will not hold [him] guiltless that taketh his name in
 vain.
   Deuteronomy|5:12  Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy
 God hath commanded thee.
   Deuteronomy|5:13  Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
   Deuteronomy|5:14  But the seventh day [is] the sabbath of the LORD thy
 God: [in it] thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
 daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine
 ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that [is] within thy gates;
 that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
   Deuteronomy|5:15  And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of
 Egypt, and [that] the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty
 hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee
 to keep the sabbath day.
   Deuteronomy|5:16  Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God
 hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go
 well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
   Deuteronomy|5:17  Thou shalt not kill.

   Deuteronomy|5:18  Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
   Deuteronomy|5:19  Neither shalt thou steal.
   Deuteronomy|5:20  Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy
 neighbour.
   Deuteronomy|5:21  Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither
 shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or
 his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any [thing] that [is] thy
 neighbour's.
   Deuteronomy|5:22  These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in
 the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick
 darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in
 two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
   Deuteronomy|5:23  And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the
 midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came
 near unto me, [even] all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
   Deuteronomy|5:24  And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us
 his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst
 of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he
 liveth.
   Deuteronomy|5:25  Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire
 will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we

 shall die.
   Deuteronomy|5:26  For who [is there of] all flesh, that hath heard the
 voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we
 [have], and lived?
   Deuteronomy|5:27  Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall
 say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto
 thee; and we will hear [it], and do [it].
   Deuteronomy|5:28  And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye
 spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the
 words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said
 all that they have spoken.
   Deuteronomy|5:29  O that there were such an heart in them, that they
 would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well
 with them, and with their children for ever!
   Deuteronomy|5:30  Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
   Deuteronomy|5:31  But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will
 speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments,
 which thou shalt teach them, that they may do [them] in the land which I
 give them to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|5:32  Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God
 hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the

 left.
   Deuteronomy|5:33  Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God
 hath commanded you, that ye may live, and [that it may be] well with you,
 and [that] ye may prolong [your] days in the land which ye shall possess.
   Deuteronomy|6:1  Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the
 judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do
 [them] in the land whither ye go to possess it:
   Deuteronomy|6:2  That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all
 his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son,
 and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be
 prolonged.
   Deuteronomy|6:3  Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that
 it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD
 God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk
 and honey.
   Deuteronomy|6:4  Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:
   Deuteronomy|6:5  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine
 heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
   Deuteronomy|6:6  And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be
 in thine heart:
   Deuteronomy|6:7  And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children,

 and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou
 walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
   Deuteronomy|6:8  And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and
 they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
   Deuteronomy|6:9  And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house,
 and on thy gates.
   Deuteronomy|6:10  And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have
 brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to
 Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou
 buildedst not,
   Deuteronomy|6:11  And houses full of all good [things], which thou
 filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and
 olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be
 full;
   Deuteronomy|6:12  [Then] beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought
 thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
   Deuteronomy|6:13  Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and
 shalt swear by his name.
   Deuteronomy|6:14  Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the
 people which [are] round about you;
   Deuteronomy|6:15  (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you)

 lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy
 thee from off the face of the earth.
   Deuteronomy|6:16  Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted
 [him] in Massah.
   Deuteronomy|6:17  Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD
 your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded
 thee.
   Deuteronomy|6:18  And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the
 sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go
 in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,
   Deuteronomy|6:19  To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the
 LORD hath spoken.
   Deuteronomy|6:20  [And] when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying,
 What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the
 LORD our God hath commanded you?
   Deuteronomy|6:21  Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's
 bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
   Deuteronomy|6:22  And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore,
 upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
   Deuteronomy|6:23  And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring
 us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

   Deuteronomy|6:24  And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to
 fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us
 alive, as [it is] at this day.
   Deuteronomy|6:25  And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do
 all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
   Deuteronomy|7:1  When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land
 whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before
 thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the
 Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven
 nations greater and mightier than thou;
   Deuteronomy|7:2  And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before
 thee; thou shalt smite them, [and] utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no
 covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them:
   Deuteronomy|7:3  Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy
 daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take
 unto thy son.
   Deuteronomy|7:4  For they will turn away thy son from following me, that
 they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against
 you, and destroy thee suddenly.
   Deuteronomy|7:5  But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their
 altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn

 their graven images with fire.
   Deuteronomy|7:6  For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the
 LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above
 all people that [are] upon the face of the earth.
   Deuteronomy|7:7  The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you,
 because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of
 all people:
   Deuteronomy|7:8  But because the LORD loved you, and because he would
 keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought
 you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen,
 from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
   Deuteronomy|7:9  Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the
 faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and
 keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
   Deuteronomy|7:10  And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to
 destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay
 him to his face.
   Deuteronomy|7:11  Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the
 statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
   Deuteronomy|7:12  Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these
 judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto

 thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
   Deuteronomy|7:13  And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply
 thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land,
 thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the
 flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give
 thee.
   Deuteronomy|7:14  Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not
 be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
   Deuteronomy|7:15  And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and
 will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee;
 but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.
   Deuteronomy|7:16  And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD
 thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither
 shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare unto thee.
   Deuteronomy|7:17  If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations [are]
 more than I; how can I dispossess them?
   Deuteronomy|7:18  Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well
 remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
   Deuteronomy|7:19  The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the
 signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm,
 whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do

 unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
   Deuteronomy|7:20  Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among
 them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be
 destroyed.
   Deuteronomy|7:21  Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy
 God [is] among you, a mighty God and terrible.
   Deuteronomy|7:22  And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before
 thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the
 beasts of the field increase upon thee.
   Deuteronomy|7:23  But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and
 shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
   Deuteronomy|7:24  And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and
 thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able
 to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
   Deuteronomy|7:25  The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with
 fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take
 [it] unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it [is] an abomination to
 the LORD thy God.
   Deuteronomy|7:26  Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine
 house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest
 it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.

   Deuteronomy|8:1  All the commandments which I command thee this day shall
 ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the
 land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
   Deuteronomy|8:2  And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy
 God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to
 prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep
 his commandments, or no.
   Deuteronomy|8:3  And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and
 fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;
 that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by
 every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
   Deuteronomy|8:4  Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy
 foot swell, these forty years.
   Deuteronomy|8:5  Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man
 chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
   Deuteronomy|8:6  Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD
 thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
   Deuteronomy|8:7  For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a
 land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys
 and hills;
   Deuteronomy|8:8  A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees,

 and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
   Deuteronomy|8:9  A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness,
 thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and
 out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
   Deuteronomy|8:10  When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt
 bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
   Deuteronomy|8:11  Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not
 keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I
 command thee this day:
   Deuteronomy|8:12  Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast
 built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein];
   Deuteronomy|8:13  And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy
 silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
   Deuteronomy|8:14  Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD
 thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house
 of bondage;
   Deuteronomy|8:15  Who led thee through that great and terrible
 wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought,
 where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of
 flint;
   Deuteronomy|8:16  Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy

 fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee,
 to do thee good at thy latter end;
   Deuteronomy|8:17  And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of
 [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth.
   Deuteronomy|8:18  But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is]
 he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant
 which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day.
   Deuteronomy|8:19  And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy
 God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify
 against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
   Deuteronomy|8:20  As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your
 face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice
 of the LORD your God.
   Deuteronomy|9:1  Hear, O Israel: Thou [art] to pass over Jordan this day,
 to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great
 and fenced up to heaven,
   Deuteronomy|9:2  A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims,
 whom thou knowest, and [of whom] thou hast heard [say], Who can stand
 before the children of Anak!
   Deuteronomy|9:3  Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God
 [is] he which goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he shall

 destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou
 drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
   Deuteronomy|9:4  Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy
 God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the
 LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of
 these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
   Deuteronomy|9:5  Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of
 thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of
 these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and
 that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,
 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
   Deuteronomy|9:6  Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee
 not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou [art] a
 stiffnecked people.
   Deuteronomy|9:7  Remember, [and] forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD
 thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out
 of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been
 rebellious against the LORD.
   Deuteronomy|9:8  Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the
 LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
   Deuteronomy|9:9  When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables

 of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you,
 then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat
 bread nor drink water:
   Deuteronomy|9:10  And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone
 written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all
 the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of
 the fire in the day of the assembly.
   Deuteronomy|9:11  And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty
 nights, [that] the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, [even] the tables
 of the covenant.
   Deuteronomy|9:12  And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly
 from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have
 corrupted [themselves]; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which
 I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
   Deuteronomy|9:13  Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen
 this people, and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people:
   Deuteronomy|9:14  Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out
 their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and
 greater than they.
   Deuteronomy|9:15  So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount
 burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant [were] in my two

 hands.
   Deuteronomy|9:16  And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the
 LORD your God, [and] had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside
 quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
   Deuteronomy|9:17  And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two
 hands, and brake them before your eyes.
   Deuteronomy|9:18  And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty
 days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of
 all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD,
 to provoke him to anger.
   Deuteronomy|9:19  For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure,
 wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD
 hearkened unto me at that time also.
   Deuteronomy|9:20  And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have
 destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
   Deuteronomy|9:21  And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and
 burnt it with fire, and stamped it, [and] ground [it] very small, [even]
 until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook
 that descended out of the mount.
   Deuteronomy|9:22  And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah,
 ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

   Deuteronomy|9:23  Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea,
 saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled
 against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor
 hearkened to his voice.
   Deuteronomy|9:24  Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day
 that I knew you.
   Deuteronomy|9:25  Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty
 nights, as I fell down [at the first]; because the LORD had said he would
 destroy you.
   Deuteronomy|9:26  I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD,
 destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed
 through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a
 mighty hand.
   Deuteronomy|9:27  Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look
 not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to
 their sin:
   Deuteronomy|9:28  Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say,
 Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised
 them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in
 the wilderness.
   Deuteronomy|9:29  Yet they [are] thy people and thine inheritance, which

 thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
   Deuteronomy|10:1  At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables
 of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make
 thee an ark of wood.
   Deuteronomy|10:2  And I will write on the tables the words that were in
 the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
   Deuteronomy|10:3  And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed two
 tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the
 two tables in mine hand.
   Deuteronomy|10:4  And he wrote on the tables, according to the first
 writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount
 out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave
 them unto me.
   Deuteronomy|10:5  And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and
 put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD
 commanded me.
   Deuteronomy|10:6  And the children of Israel took their journey from
 Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he
 was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his
 stead.
   Deuteronomy|10:7  From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from

 Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
   Deuteronomy|10:8  At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to
 bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to
 minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
   Deuteronomy|10:9  Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his
 brethren; the LORD [is] his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God
 promised him.
   Deuteronomy|10:10  And I stayed in the mount, according to the first
 time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that
 time also, [and] the LORD would not destroy thee.
   Deuteronomy|10:11  And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take [thy] journey
 before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware
 unto their fathers to give unto them.
   Deuteronomy|10:12  And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of
 thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love
 him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy
 soul,
   Deuteronomy|10:13  To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his
 statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
   Deuteronomy|10:14  Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens [is] the
 LORD'S thy God, the earth [also], with all that therein [is].

   Deuteronomy|10:15  Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love
 them, and he chose their seed after them, [even] you above all people, as
 [it is] this day.
   Deuteronomy|10:16  Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and
 be no more stiffnecked.
   Deuteronomy|10:17  For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of
 lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons,
 nor taketh reward:
   Deuteronomy|10:18  He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and
 widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
   Deuteronomy|10:19  Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers
 in the land of Egypt.
   Deuteronomy|10:20  Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou
 serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
   Deuteronomy|10:21  He [is] thy praise, and he [is] thy God, that hath
 done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
   Deuteronomy|10:22  Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and
 ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven
 for multitude.
   Deuteronomy|11:1  Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep
 his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments,

 alway.
   Deuteronomy|11:2  And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your
 children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of
 the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out
 arm,
   Deuteronomy|11:3  And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the
 midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
   Deuteronomy|11:4  And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their
 horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to
 overflow them as they pursued after you, and [how] the LORD hath destroyed
 them unto this day;
   Deuteronomy|11:5  And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye
 came into this place;
   Deuteronomy|11:6  And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of
 Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed
 them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that
 [was] in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
   Deuteronomy|11:7  But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD
 which he did.
   Deuteronomy|11:8  Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I
 command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the

 land, whither ye go to possess it;
   Deuteronomy|11:9  And that ye may prolong [your] days in the land, which
 the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a
 land that floweth with milk and honey.
   Deuteronomy|11:10  For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it,
 [is] not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst
 thy seed, and wateredst [it] with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
   Deuteronomy|11:11  But the land, whither ye go to possess it, [is] a land
 of hills and valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
   Deuteronomy|11:12  A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of
 the LORD thy God [are] always upon it, from the beginning of the year even
 unto the end of the year.
   Deuteronomy|11:13  And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken
 diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the
 LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
   Deuteronomy|11:14  That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his
 due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in
 thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
   Deuteronomy|11:15  And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle,
 that thou mayest eat and be full.
   Deuteronomy|11:16  Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not

 deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
   Deuteronomy|11:17  And [then] the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you,
 and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield
 not her fruit; and [lest] ye perish quickly from off the good land which
 the LORD giveth you.
   Deuteronomy|11:18  Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart
 and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be
 as frontlets between your eyes.
   Deuteronomy|11:19  And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of
 them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way,
 when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
   Deuteronomy|11:20  And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine
 house, and upon thy gates:
   Deuteronomy|11:21  That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your
 children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them,
 as the days of heaven upon the earth.
   Deuteronomy|11:22  For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments
 which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all
 his ways, and to cleave unto him;
   Deuteronomy|11:23  Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from
 before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than

 yourselves.
   Deuteronomy|11:24  Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread
 shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river
 Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
   Deuteronomy|11:25  There shall no man be able to stand before you: [for]
 the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all
 the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
   Deuteronomy|11:26  Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a
 curse;
   Deuteronomy|11:27  A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD
 your God, which I command you this day:
   Deuteronomy|11:28  And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of
 the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this
 day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
   Deuteronomy|11:29  And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath
 brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou
 shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
   Deuteronomy|11:30  [Are] they not on the other side Jordan, by the way
 where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the
 champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
   Deuteronomy|11:31  For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the

 land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell
 therein.
   Deuteronomy|11:32  And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and
 judgments which I set before you this day.
   Deuteronomy|12:1  These [are] the statutes and judgments, which ye shall
 observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to
 possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
   Deuteronomy|12:2  Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the
 nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains,
 and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
   Deuteronomy|12:3  And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their
 pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven
 images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
   Deuteronomy|12:4  Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
   Deuteronomy|12:5  But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose
 out of all your tribes to put his name there, [even] unto his habitation
 shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
   Deuteronomy|12:6  And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and
 your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and
 your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds
 and of your flocks:

   Deuteronomy|12:7  And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye
 shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households,
 wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
   Deuteronomy|12:8  Ye shall not do after all [the things] that we do here
 this day, every man whatsoever [is] right in his own eyes.
   Deuteronomy|12:9  For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the
 inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
   Deuteronomy|12:10  But [when] ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land
 which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and [when] he giveth you
 rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
   Deuteronomy|12:11  Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God
 shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all
 that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes,
 and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow
 unto the LORD:
   Deuteronomy|12:12  And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and
 your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants,
 and the Levite that [is] within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part
 nor inheritance with you.
   Deuteronomy|12:13  Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt
 offerings in every place that thou seest:

   Deuteronomy|12:14  But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of
 thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou
 shalt do all that I command thee.
   Deuteronomy|12:15  Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all
 thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of
 the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may
 eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
   Deuteronomy|12:16  Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon
 the earth as water.
   Deuteronomy|12:17  Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy
 corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of
 thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill
 offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
   Deuteronomy|12:18  But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the
 place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy
 daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that [is]
 within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all
 that thou puttest thine hands unto.
   Deuteronomy|12:19  Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite
 as long as thou livest upon the earth.
   Deuteronomy|12:20  When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he

 hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul
 longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth
 after.
   Deuteronomy|12:21  If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put
 his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and
 of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and
 thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
   Deuteronomy|12:22  Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou
 shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat [of] them alike.
   Deuteronomy|12:23  Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the
 blood [is] the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
   Deuteronomy|12:24  Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the
 earth as water.
   Deuteronomy|12:25  Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee,
 and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do [that which is] right
 in the sight of the LORD.
   Deuteronomy|12:26  Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows,
 thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose.
   Deuteronomy|12:27  And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh
 and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy
 sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou

 shalt eat the flesh.
   Deuteronomy|12:28  Observe and hear all these words which I command thee,
 that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever,
 when thou doest [that which is] good and right in the sight of the LORD thy
 God.
   Deuteronomy|12:29  When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from
 before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them,
 and dwellest in their land;
   Deuteronomy|12:30  Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by
 following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that
 thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve
 their gods? even so will I do likewise.
   Deuteronomy|12:31  Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every
 abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods;
 for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to
 their gods.
   Deuteronomy|12:32  What thing soever I command you, observe to do it:
 thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
   Deuteronomy|13:1  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of
 dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
   Deuteronomy|13:2  And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he

 spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not
 known, and let us serve them;
   Deuteronomy|13:3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet,
 or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know
 whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your
 soul.
   Deuteronomy|13:4  Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him,
 and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and
 cleave unto him.
   Deuteronomy|13:5  And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be
 put to death; because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your
 God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of
 the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God
 commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst
 of thee.
   Deuteronomy|13:6  If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or
 thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine
 own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods,
 which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
   Deuteronomy|13:7  [Namely], of the gods of the people which [are] round
 about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the [one] end of the

 earth even unto the [other] end of the earth;
   Deuteronomy|13:8  Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him;
 neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt
 thou conceal him:
   Deuteronomy|13:9  But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be
 first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the
 people.
   Deuteronomy|13:10  And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die;
 because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which
 brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
   Deuteronomy|13:11  And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no
 more any such wickedness as this is among you.
   Deuteronomy|13:12  If thou shalt hear [say] in one of thy cities, which
 the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
   Deuteronomy|13:13  [Certain] men, the children of Belial, are gone out
 from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying,
 Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
   Deuteronomy|13:14  Then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask
 diligently; and, behold, [if it be] truth, [and] the thing certain, [that]
 such abomination is wrought among you;
   Deuteronomy|13:15  Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city

 with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that [is]
 therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
   Deuteronomy|13:16  And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the
 midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the
 spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for
 ever; it shall not be built again.
   Deuteronomy|13:17  And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to
 thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and
 show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he
 hath sworn unto thy fathers;
   Deuteronomy|13:18  When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy
 God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do
 [that which is] right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
   Deuteronomy|14:1  Ye [are] the children of the LORD your God: ye shall
 not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
   Deuteronomy|14:2  For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God,
 and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above
 all the nations that [are] upon the earth.
   Deuteronomy|14:3  Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
   Deuteronomy|14:4  These [are] the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the
 sheep, and the goat,

   Deuteronomy|14:5  The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the
 wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
   Deuteronomy|14:6  And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the
 cleft into two claws, [and] cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall
 eat.
   Deuteronomy|14:7  Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew
 the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; [as] the camel, and the
 hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof;
 [therefore] they [are] unclean unto you.
   Deuteronomy|14:8  And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet
 cheweth not the cud, it [is] unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their
 flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
   Deuteronomy|14:9  These ye shall eat of all that [are] in the waters: all
 that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
   Deuteronomy|14:10  And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not
 eat; it [is] unclean unto you.
   Deuteronomy|14:11  [Of] all clean birds ye shall eat.
   Deuteronomy|14:12  But these [are they] of which ye shall not eat: the
 eagle, and the ossifrage, and the osprey,
   Deuteronomy|14:13  And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his
 kind,

   Deuteronomy|14:14  And every raven after his kind,
   Deuteronomy|14:15  And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckoo, and
 the hawk after his kind,
   Deuteronomy|14:16  The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
   Deuteronomy|14:17  And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the
 cormorant,
   Deuteronomy|14:18  And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the
 lapwing, and the bat.
   Deuteronomy|14:19  And every creeping thing that flieth [is] unclean unto
 you: they shall not be eaten.
   Deuteronomy|14:20  [But of] all clean fowls ye may eat.
   Deuteronomy|14:21  Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself:
 thou shalt give it unto the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may
 eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou [art] an holy people
 unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
   Deuteronomy|14:22  Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed,
 that the field bringeth forth year by year.
   Deuteronomy|14:23  And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the
 place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn,
 of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy
 flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.

   Deuteronomy|14:24  And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art
 not able to carry it; [or] if the place be too far from thee, which the
 LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath
 blessed thee:
   Deuteronomy|14:25  Then shalt thou turn [it] into money, and bind up the
 money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God
 shall choose:
   Deuteronomy|14:26  And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy
 soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong
 drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before
 the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
   Deuteronomy|14:27  And the Levite that [is] within thy gates; thou shalt
 not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
   Deuteronomy|14:28  At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all
 the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay [it] up within thy
 gates:
   Deuteronomy|14:29  And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor
 inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the
 widow, which [are] within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be
 satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine
 hand which thou doest.

   Deuteronomy|15:1  At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a
 release.
   Deuteronomy|15:2  And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor
 that lendeth [ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it]; he shall not
 exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the
 LORD'S release.
   Deuteronomy|15:3  Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again]: but [that]
 which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
   Deuteronomy|15:4  Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the
 LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth
 thee [for] an inheritance to possess it:
   Deuteronomy|15:5  Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the
 LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee
 this day.
   Deuteronomy|15:6  For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised
 thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and
 thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
   Deuteronomy|15:7  If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren
 within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
 thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor
 brother:

   Deuteronomy|15:8  But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt
 surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.
   Deuteronomy|15:9  Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart,
 saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be
 evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto
 the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
   Deuteronomy|15:10  Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not
 be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD
 thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest
 thine hand unto.
   Deuteronomy|15:11  For the poor shall never cease out of the land:
 therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy
 brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
   Deuteronomy|15:12  [And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew
 woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh
 year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
   Deuteronomy|15:13  And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou
 shalt not let him go away empty:
   Deuteronomy|15:14  Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and
 out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: [of that] wherewith the LORD
 thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.

   Deuteronomy|15:15  And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in
 the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command
 thee this thing to day.
   Deuteronomy|15:16  And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go
 away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well
 with thee;
   Deuteronomy|15:17  Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust [it] through
 his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto
 thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
   Deuteronomy|15:18  It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest
 him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant [to
 thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in
 all that thou doest.
   Deuteronomy|15:19  All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of
 thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work
 with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
   Deuteronomy|15:20  Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by
 year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
   Deuteronomy|15:21  And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be]
 lame, or blind, [or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto
 the LORD thy God.

   Deuteronomy|15:22  Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and
 the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
   Deuteronomy|15:23  Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt
 pour it upon the ground as water.
   Deuteronomy|16:1  Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto
 the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee
 forth out of Egypt by night.
   Deuteronomy|16:2  Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the
 LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall
 choose to place his name there.
   Deuteronomy|16:3  Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days
 shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, [even] the bread of affliction:
 for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest
 remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the
 days of thy life.
   Deuteronomy|16:4  And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in
 all thy coast seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh,
 which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the
 morning.
   Deuteronomy|16:5  Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of
 thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:

   Deuteronomy|16:6  But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to
 place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the
 going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
   Deuteronomy|16:7  And thou shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which
 the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go
 unto thy tents.
   Deuteronomy|16:8  Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the
 seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do
 no work [therein].
   Deuteronomy|16:9  Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to
 number the seven weeks from [such time as] thou beginnest [to put] the
 sickle to the corn.
   Deuteronomy|16:10  And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD
 thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou
 shalt give [unto the LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God hath
 blessed thee:
   Deuteronomy|16:11  And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou,
 and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and
 the Levite that [is] within thy gates, and the stranger, and the
 fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you, in the place which the
 LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.

   Deuteronomy|16:12  And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in
 Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
   Deuteronomy|16:13  Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven
 days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
   Deuteronomy|16:14  And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy
 son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the
 Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within
 thy gates.
   Deuteronomy|16:15  Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the
 LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy
 God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine
 hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
   Deuteronomy|16:16  Three times in a year shall all thy males appear
 before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of
 unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of
 tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
   Deuteronomy|16:17  Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the
 blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
   Deuteronomy|16:18  Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy
 gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they
 shall judge the people with just judgment.

   Deuteronomy|16:19  Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect
 persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise,
 and pervert the words of the righteous.
   Deuteronomy|16:20  That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that
 thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
   Deuteronomy|16:21  Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near
 unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
   Deuteronomy|16:22  Neither shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which the
 LORD thy God hateth.
   Deuteronomy|17:1  Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God [any]
 bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, [or] any evilfavouredness: for that
 [is] an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
   Deuteronomy|17:2  If there be found among you, within any of thy gates
 which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought
 wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
   Deuteronomy|17:3  And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped
 them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have
 not commanded;
   Deuteronomy|17:4  And it be told thee, and thou hast heard [of it], and
 inquired diligently, and, behold, [it be] true, [and] the thing certain,
 [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel:

   Deuteronomy|17:5  Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman,
 which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, [even] that man or
 that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
   Deuteronomy|17:6  At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses,
 shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one
 witness he shall not be put to death.
   Deuteronomy|17:7  The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to
 put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt
 put the evil away from among you.
   Deuteronomy|17:8  If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment,
 between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and
 stroke, [being] matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou
 arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
   Deuteronomy|17:9  And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and
 unto the judge that shall be in those days, and inquire; and they shall
 show thee the sentence of judgment:
   Deuteronomy|17:10  And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which
 they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall show thee; and thou
 shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
   Deuteronomy|17:11  According to the sentence of the law which they shall
 teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou

 shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall show
 thee, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left.
   Deuteronomy|17:12  And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not
 hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy
 God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away
 the evil from Israel.
   Deuteronomy|17:13  And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no
 more presumptuously.
   Deuteronomy|17:14  When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy
 God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt
 say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about
 me;
   Deuteronomy|17:15  Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom
 the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set
 king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not
 thy brother.
   Deuteronomy|17:16  But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause
 the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses:
 forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no
 more that way.
   Deuteronomy|17:17  Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his

 heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver
 and gold.
   Deuteronomy|17:18  And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of
 his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of
 [that which is] before the priests the Levites:
   Deuteronomy|17:19  And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein
 all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to
 keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
   Deuteronomy|17:20  That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren,
 and that he turn not aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand, or
 [to] the left: to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom,
 he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
   Deuteronomy|18:1  The priests the Levites, [and] all the tribe of Levi,
 shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the
 offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
   Deuteronomy|18:2  Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their
 brethren: the LORD [is] their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
   Deuteronomy|18:3  And this shall be the priest's due from the people,
 from them that offer a sacrifice, whether [it be] ox or sheep; and they
 shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
   Deuteronomy|18:4  The firstfruit [also] of thy corn, of thy wine, and of

 thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
   Deuteronomy|18:5  For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy
 tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for
 ever.
   Deuteronomy|18:6  And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all
 Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto
 the place which the LORD shall choose;
   Deuteronomy|18:7  Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God,
 as all his brethren the Levites [do], which stand there before the LORD.
   Deuteronomy|18:8  They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which
 cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
   Deuteronomy|18:9  When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God
 giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those
 nations.
   Deuteronomy|18:10  There shall not be found among you [any one] that
 maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, [or] that useth
 divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
   Deuteronomy|18:11  Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or
 a wizard, or a necromancer.
   Deuteronomy|18:12  For all that do these things [are] an abomination unto
 the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive

 them out from before thee.
   Deuteronomy|18:13  Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
   Deuteronomy|18:14  For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened
 unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy
 God hath not suffered thee so [to do].
   Deuteronomy|18:15  The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet
 from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall
 hearken;
   Deuteronomy|18:16  According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy
 God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the
 voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that
 I die not.
   Deuteronomy|18:17  And the LORD said unto me, They have well [spoken
 that] which they have spoken.
   Deuteronomy|18:18  I will raise them up a Prophet from among their
 brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
 speak unto them all that I shall command him.
   Deuteronomy|18:19  And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will not
 hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [it]
 of him.
   Deuteronomy|18:20  But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word

 in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in
 the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
   Deuteronomy|18:21  And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the
 word which the LORD hath not spoken?
   Deuteronomy|18:22  When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if
 the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD
 hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou
 shalt not be afraid of him.
   Deuteronomy|19:1  When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose
 land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest
 in their cities, and in their houses;
   Deuteronomy|19:2  Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst
 of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|19:3  Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of
 thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts,
 that every slayer may flee thither.
   Deuteronomy|19:4  And this [is] the case of the slayer, which shall flee
 thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he
 hated not in time past;
   Deuteronomy|19:5  As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to
 hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree,

 and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that
 he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
   Deuteronomy|19:6  Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while
 his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him;
 whereas he [was] not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time
 past.
   Deuteronomy|19:7  Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate
 three cities for thee.
   Deuteronomy|19:8  And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath
 sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to
 give unto thy fathers;
   Deuteronomy|19:9  If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them,
 which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever
 in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these
 three:
   Deuteronomy|19:10  That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the
 LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and [so] blood be upon thee.
   Deuteronomy|19:11  But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for
 him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and
 fleeth into one of these cities:
   Deuteronomy|19:12  Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him

 thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may
 die.
   Deuteronomy|19:13  Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away
 [the guilt of] innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
   Deuteronomy|19:14  Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which
 they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in
 the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|19:15  One witness shall not rise up against a man for any
 iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two
 witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be
 established.
   Deuteronomy|19:16  If a false witness rise up against any man to testify
 against him [that which is] wrong;
   Deuteronomy|19:17  Then both the men, between whom the controversy [is],
 shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall
 be in those days;
   Deuteronomy|19:18  And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and,
 behold, [if] the witness [be] a false witness, [and] hath testified falsely
 against his brother;
   Deuteronomy|19:19  Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have
 done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

   Deuteronomy|19:20  And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall
 henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
   Deuteronomy|19:21  And thine eye shall not pity; [but] life [shall go]
 for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
   Deuteronomy|20:1  When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies,
 and seest horses, and chariots, [and] a people more than thou, be not
 afraid of them: for the LORD thy God [is] with thee, which brought thee up
 out of the land of Egypt.
   Deuteronomy|20:2  And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle,
 that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
   Deuteronomy|20:3  And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach
 this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear
 not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
   Deuteronomy|20:4  For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to
 fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
   Deuteronomy|20:5  And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying,
 What man [is there] that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it?
 let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another
 man dedicate it.
   Deuteronomy|20:6  And what man [is he] that hath planted a vineyard, and
 hath not [yet] eaten of it? let him [also] go and return unto his house,

 lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
   Deuteronomy|20:7  And what man [is there] that hath betrothed a wife, and
 hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in
 the battle, and another man take her.
   Deuteronomy|20:8  And the officers shall speak further unto the people,
 and they shall say, What man [is there that is] fearful and fainthearted?
 let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as
 well as his heart.
   Deuteronomy|20:9  And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of
 speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to
 lead the people.
   Deuteronomy|20:10  When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it,
 then proclaim peace unto it.
   Deuteronomy|20:11  And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and
 open unto thee, then it shall be, [that] all the people [that is] found
 therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
   Deuteronomy|20:12  And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make
 war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
   Deuteronomy|20:13  And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine
 hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
   Deuteronomy|20:14  But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle,

 and all that is in the city, [even] all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take
 unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD
 thy God hath given thee.
   Deuteronomy|20:15  Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities [which are]
 very far off from thee, which [are] not of the cities of these nations.
   Deuteronomy|20:16  But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy
 God doth give thee [for] an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that
 breatheth:
   Deuteronomy|20:17  But thou shalt utterly destroy them; [namely], the
 Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the
 Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
   Deuteronomy|20:18  That they teach you not to do after all their
 abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin
 against the LORD your God.
   Deuteronomy|20:19  When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making
 war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by
 forcing an ax against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not
 cut them down (for the tree of the field [is] man's [life]) to employ
 [them] in the siege:
   Deuteronomy|20:20  Only the trees which thou knowest that they [be] not
 trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build

 bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
   Deuteronomy|21:1  If [one] be found slain in the land which the LORD thy
 God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, [and] it be not known
 who hath slain him:
   Deuteronomy|21:2  Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and
 they shall measure unto the cities which [are] round about him that is
 slain:
   Deuteronomy|21:3  And it shall be, [that] the city [which is] next unto
 the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which
 hath not been wrought with, [and] which hath not drawn in the yoke;
   Deuteronomy|21:4  And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer
 unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off
 the heifer's neck there in the valley:
   Deuteronomy|21:5  And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for
 them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the
 name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every
 stroke be [tried]:
   Deuteronomy|21:6  And all the elders of that city, [that are] next unto
 the slain [man], shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in
 the valley:
   Deuteronomy|21:7  And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed

 this blood, neither have our eyes seen [it].
   Deuteronomy|21:8  Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou
 hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's
 charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
   Deuteronomy|21:9  So shalt thou put away the [guilt of] innocent blood
 from among you, when thou shalt do [that which is] right in the sight of
 the LORD.
   Deuteronomy|21:10  When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies,
 and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast
 taken them captive,
   Deuteronomy|21:11  And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and
 hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
   Deuteronomy|21:12  Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she
 shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
   Deuteronomy|21:13  And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from
 off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her
 mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her
 husband, and she shall be thy wife.
   Deuteronomy|21:14  And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then
 thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all
 for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast

 humbled her.
   Deuteronomy|21:15  If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another
 hated, and they have born him children, [both] the beloved and the hated;
 and [if] the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
   Deuteronomy|21:16  Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit
 [that] which he hath, [that] he may not make the son of the beloved
 firstborn before the son of the hated, [which is indeed] the firstborn:
   Deuteronomy|21:17  But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated [for]
 the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he
 [is] the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn [is] his.
   Deuteronomy|21:18  If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which
 will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and
 [that], when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
   Deuteronomy|21:19  Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him,
 and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his
 place;
   Deuteronomy|21:20  And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This
 our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a
 glutton, and a drunkard.
   Deuteronomy|21:21  And all the men of his city shall stone him with
 stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all

 Israel shall hear, and fear.
   Deuteronomy|21:22  And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and
 he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
   Deuteronomy|21:23  His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but
 thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is]
 accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God
 giveth thee [for] an inheritance.
   Deuteronomy|22:1  Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go
 astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again
 unto thy brother.
   Deuteronomy|22:2  And if thy brother [be] not nigh unto thee, or if thou
 know him not, then thou shalt bring it unto thine own house, and it shall
 be with thee until thy brother seek after it, and thou shalt restore it to
 him again.
   Deuteronomy|22:3  In like manner shalt thou do with his ass; and so shalt
 thou do with his raiment; and with all lost thing of thy brother's, which
 he hath lost, and thou hast found, shalt thou do likewise: thou mayest not
 hide thyself.
   Deuteronomy|22:4  Thou shalt not see thy brother's ass or his ox fall
 down by the way, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt surely help him to
 lift [them] up again.

   Deuteronomy|22:5  The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a
 man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so [are]
 abomination unto the LORD thy God.
   Deuteronomy|22:6  If a bird's nest chance to be before thee in the way in
 any tree, or on the ground, [whether they be] young ones, or eggs, and the
 dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam
 with the young:
   Deuteronomy|22:7  [But] thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take
 the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and [that] thou mayest
 prolong [thy] days.
   Deuteronomy|22:8  When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a
 battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any
 man fall from thence.
   Deuteronomy|22:9  Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest
 the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard,
 be defiled.
   Deuteronomy|22:10  Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together.
   Deuteronomy|22:11  Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, [as] of
 woollen and linen together.
   Deuteronomy|22:12  Thou shalt make thee fringes upon the four quarters of
 thy vesture, wherewith thou coverest [thyself].

   Deuteronomy|22:13  If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate
 her,
   Deuteronomy|22:14  And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up
 an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her,
 I found her not a maid:
   Deuteronomy|22:15  Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother,
 take and bring forth [the tokens of] the damsel's virginity unto the elders
 of the city in the gate:
   Deuteronomy|22:16  And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I
 gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
   Deuteronomy|22:17  And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech [against
 her], saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these [are the
 tokens of] my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before
 the elders of the city.
   Deuteronomy|22:18  And the elders of that city shall take that man and
 chastise him;
   Deuteronomy|22:19  And they shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of
 silver, and give [them] unto the father of the damsel, because he hath
 brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife;
 he may not put her away all his days.
   Deuteronomy|22:20  But if this thing be true, [and the tokens of]

 virginity be not found for the damsel:
   Deuteronomy|22:21  Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of
 her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones
 that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore
 in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
   Deuteronomy|22:22  If a man be found lying with a woman married to an
 husband, then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the
 woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
   Deuteronomy|22:23  If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed unto an
 husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
   Deuteronomy|22:24  Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of
 that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel,
 because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he hath
 humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
   Deuteronomy|22:25  But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and
 the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her
 shall die:
   Deuteronomy|22:26  But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is]
 in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against
 his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:
   Deuteronomy|22:27  For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed

 damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her.
   Deuteronomy|22:28  If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is
 not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
   Deuteronomy|22:29  Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the
 damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife;
 because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

 LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation
 of the LORD.
   Deuteronomy|23:3  An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the
 congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not
 enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever:
   Deuteronomy|23:4  Because they met you not with bread and with water in
 the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against
 thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
   Deuteronomy|23:5  Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto
 Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee,

 because the LORD thy God loved thee.

 all thy days for ever.

 brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in
 his land.

 the congregation of the LORD in their third generation.

 reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad
 out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
   Deuteronomy|23:11  But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash
 [himself] with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp
 [again].
   Deuteronomy|23:12  Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither
 thou shalt go forth abroad:
   Deuteronomy|23:13  And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it
 shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and
 shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

   Deuteronomy|23:14  For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp,
 to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall
 thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from
 thee.
   Deuteronomy|23:15  Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant
 which is escaped from his master unto thee:
   Deuteronomy|23:16  He shall dwell with thee, [even] among you, in that
 place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best:
 thou shalt not oppress him.
   Deuteronomy|23:17  There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel,
 nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.

 these [are] abomination unto the LORD thy God.
   Deuteronomy|23:19  Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury
 of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:

 thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless
 thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest
 to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|23:21  When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou

 shalt not slack to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of
 thee; and it would be sin in thee.
   Deuteronomy|23:22  But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin
 in thee.
   Deuteronomy|23:23  That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and
 perform; [even] a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the
 LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
   Deuteronomy|23:24  When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then
 thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not
 put [any] in thy vessel.

 neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt
 not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.

 come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found
 some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and
 give [it] in her hand, and send her out of his house.
   Deuteronomy|24:2  And when she is departed out of his house, she may go
 and be another man's [wife].
   Deuteronomy|24:3  And [if] the latter husband hate her, and write her a
 bill of divorcement, and giveth [it] in her hand, and sendeth her out of

 his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her [to be] his wife;
   Deuteronomy|24:4  Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take
 her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that [is]
 abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin,
 which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance.

 lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee.
   Deuteronomy|24:12  And if the man [be] poor, thou shalt not sleep with
 his pledge:
   Deuteronomy|24:13  In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again
 when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless
 thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God.
   Deuteronomy|24:14  Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant [that is] poor
 and needy, [whether he be] of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that [are]
 in thy land within thy gates:

 shall the sun go down upon it; for he [is] poor, and setteth his heart upon
 it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee.

 [nor] of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:

 Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee
 to do this thing.
   Deuteronomy|24:19  When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and

 the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

 corn].

 have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a
 stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him
 to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her.

 shall succeed in the name of his brother [which is] dead, that his name be
 not put out of Israel.

 then let his brother's wife go up to the gate unto the elders, and say, My
 husband's brother refuseth to raise up unto his brother a name in Israel,
 he will not perform the duty of my husband's brother.
   Deuteronomy|25:8  Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak
 unto him: and [if] he stand [to it], and say, I like not to take her;
   Deuteronomy|25:9  Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the
 presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in
 his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that
 will not build up his brother's house.

 pity [her].
   Deuteronomy|25:13  Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great
 and a small.

 thee, [even] all [that were] feeble behind thee, when thou [wast] faint and
 weary; and he feared not God.
   Deuteronomy|25:19  Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath
 given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the

 LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it, [that] thou
 shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not
 forget [it].
   Deuteronomy|26:1  And it shall be, when thou [art] come in unto the land
 which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance, and possessest it,
 and dwellest therein;
   Deuteronomy|26:2  That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of
 the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth
 thee, and shalt put [it] in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the
 LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there.

 and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.

 Syrian ready to perish [was] my father, and he went down into Egypt, and
 sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and
 populous:
   Deuteronomy|26:6  And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us,

 and laid upon us hard bondage:
   Deuteronomy|26:7  And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the
 LORD heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our
 oppression:
   Deuteronomy|26:8  And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a
 mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and
 with signs, and with wonders:
   Deuteronomy|26:9  And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given
 us this land, [even] a land that floweth with milk and honey.
   Deuteronomy|26:10  And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the
 land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the
 LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God:
   Deuteronomy|26:11  And thou shalt rejoice in every good [thing] which the
 LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the
 Levite, and the stranger that [is] among you.
   Deuteronomy|26:12  When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes
 of thine increase the third year, [which is] the year of tithing, and hast
 given [it] unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow,
 that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
   Deuteronomy|26:13  Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have
 brought away the hallowed things out of [mine] house, and also have given

 them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the
 widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I
 have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten [them]:
   Deuteronomy|26:14  I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have
 I taken away [ought] thereof for [any] unclean [use], nor given [ought]
 thereof for the dead: [but] I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my
 God, [and] have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

 bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou
 swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

 and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments,

 peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that [thou] shouldest keep
 all his commandments;
   Deuteronomy|26:19  And to make thee high above all nations which he hath
 made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an

 holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

 people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
   Deuteronomy|27:2  And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over
 Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt
 set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:

 law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which
 the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as

 stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:

 God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this
 day.

 in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only
 oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save [thee].

 hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his
 commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
   Deuteronomy|28:46  And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a
 wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
   Deuteronomy|28:47  Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with
 joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all [things];

   Deuteronomy|28:48  Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the
 LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness,

 until he have destroyed thee.

 the person of the old, nor show favour to the young:

 fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which [also] shall not leave
 thee [either] corn, wine, or oil, [or] the increase of thy kine, or flocks
 of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

   Deuteronomy|28:53  And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the
 flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given
 thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall
 distress thee:

   Deuteronomy|28:54  [So that] the man [that is] tender among you, and very
 delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of
 his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:

 siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee
 in all thy gates.

 not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness
 and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and
 toward her son, and toward her daughter,
   Deuteronomy|28:57  And toward her young one that cometh out from between
 her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat
 them for want of all [things] secretly in the siege and straitness,
 wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.
   Deuteronomy|28:58  If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this
 law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and
 fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;
   Deuteronomy|28:59  Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the
 plagues of thy seed, [even] great plagues, and of long continuance, and
 sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

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

 written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until
 thou be destroyed.

 the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice
 of the LORD thy God.
   Deuteronomy|28:63  And it shall come to pass, [that] as the LORD rejoiced
 over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over
 you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked
 from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|28:64  And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from
 the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve
 other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, [even] wood and
 stone.
   Deuteronomy|28:65  And among these nations shalt thou find no ease,
 neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee
 there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
   Deuteronomy|28:66  And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou
 shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

   Deuteronomy|28:67  In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even!
 and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of
 thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes
 which thou shalt see.
   Deuteronomy|28:68  And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with
 ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more
 again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and
 bondwomen, and no man shall buy [you].
   Deuteronomy|29:1  These [are] the words of the covenant, which the LORD
 commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab,
 beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
   Deuteronomy|29:2  And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them,
 Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt
 unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
   Deuteronomy|29:3  The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the
 signs, and those great miracles:
   Deuteronomy|29:4  Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive,
 and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
   Deuteronomy|29:5  And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your
 clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy
 foot.

   Deuteronomy|29:6  Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or
 strong drink: that ye might know that I [am] the LORD your God.
   Deuteronomy|29:7  And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of
 Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we
 smote them:
   Deuteronomy|29:8  And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance
 unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
   Deuteronomy|29:9  Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them,
 that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
   Deuteronomy|29:10  Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God;
 your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all
 the men of Israel,
   Deuteronomy|29:11  Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that
 [is] in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
   Deuteronomy|29:12  That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD
 thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this
 day:
   Deuteronomy|29:13  That he may establish thee to day for a people unto
 himself, and [that] he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee,
 and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
   Deuteronomy|29:14  Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this

 oath;
   Deuteronomy|29:15  But with [him] that standeth here with us this day
 before the LORD our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us
 this day:
   Deuteronomy|29:16  (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt;
 and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
   Deuteronomy|29:17  And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols,
 wood and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them:)
   Deuteronomy|29:18  Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or
 family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God,
 to go [and] serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you
 a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
   Deuteronomy|29:19  And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this
 curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace,
 though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to
 thirst:
   Deuteronomy|29:20  The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the
 LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that
 are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out
 his name from under heaven.
   Deuteronomy|29:21  And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all

 the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are
 written in this book of the law:
   Deuteronomy|29:22  So that the generation to come of your children that
 shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land,
 shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which
 the LORD hath laid upon it;
   Deuteronomy|29:23  [And that] the whole land thereof [is] brimstone, and
 salt, [and] burning, [that] it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass
 groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and
 Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
   Deuteronomy|29:24  Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD
 done thus unto this land? what [meaneth] the heat of this great anger?
   Deuteronomy|29:25  Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the
 covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he
 brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
   Deuteronomy|29:26  For they went and served other gods, and worshipped
 them, gods whom they knew not, and [whom] he had not given unto them:
   Deuteronomy|29:27  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this
 land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
   Deuteronomy|29:28  And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger,
 and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as

 [it is] this day.
   Deuteronomy|29:29  The secret [things belong] unto the LORD our God: but
 those [things which are] revealed [belong] unto us and to our children for
 ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law.
   Deuteronomy|30:1  And it shall come to pass, when all these things are
 come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee,
 and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD
 thy God hath driven thee,
   Deuteronomy|30:2  And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey
 his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy
 children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
   Deuteronomy|30:3  That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and
 have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the
 nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
   Deuteronomy|30:4  If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost
 [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from
 thence will he fetch thee:
   Deuteronomy|30:5  And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land
 which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee
 good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
   Deuteronomy|30:6  And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and

 the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and
 with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
   Deuteronomy|30:7  And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon
 thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
   Deuteronomy|30:8  And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD,
 and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
   Deuteronomy|30:9  And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every
 work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy
 cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again
 rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
   Deuteronomy|30:10  If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy
 God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this
 book of the law, [and] if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine
 heart, and with all thy soul.
   Deuteronomy|30:11  For this commandment which I command thee this day, it
 [is] not hidden from thee, neither [is] it far off.
   Deuteronomy|30:12  It [is] not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who
 shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it,
 and do it?
   Deuteronomy|30:13  Neither [is] it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest
 say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may

 hear it, and do it?
   Deuteronomy|30:14  But the word [is] very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth,
 and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
   Deuteronomy|30:15  See, I have set before thee this day life and good,
 and death and evil;
   Deuteronomy|30:16  In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy
 God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and
 his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God
 shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|30:17  But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not
 hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
   Deuteronomy|30:18  I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely
 perish, [and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, whither
 thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against
 you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
 therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
   Deuteronomy|30:20  That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that
 thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he
 [is] thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the
 land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to

 Jacob, to give them.
   Deuteronomy|31:1  And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
   Deuteronomy|31:2  And he said unto them, I [am] an hundred and twenty
 years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath
 said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
   Deuteronomy|31:3  The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, [and] he
 will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them:
 [and] Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.
   Deuteronomy|31:4  And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and
 to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
   Deuteronomy|31:5  And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that
 ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have
 commanded you.
   Deuteronomy|31:6  Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be
 afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he
 will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
   Deuteronomy|31:7  And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the
 sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with
 this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to
 give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
   Deuteronomy|31:8  And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he

 will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not,
 neither be dismayed.
   Deuteronomy|31:9  And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the
 priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD,
 and unto all the elders of Israel.
   Deuteronomy|31:10  And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of
 [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast
 of tabernacles,
   Deuteronomy|31:11  When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy
 God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all
 Israel in their hearing.
   Deuteronomy|31:12  Gather the people together, men, and women, and
 children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear,
 and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all
 the words of this law:
   Deuteronomy|31:13  And [that] their children, which have not known [any
 thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live
 in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|31:14  And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days
 approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the
 tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and

 Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the
 congregation.
   Deuteronomy|31:15  And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of
 a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
   Deuteronomy|31:16  And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep
 with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the
 gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go [to be] among them, and
 will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
   Deuteronomy|31:17  Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that
 day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they
 shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that
 they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our
 God [is] not among us?
   Deuteronomy|31:18  And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the
 evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other
 gods.
   Deuteronomy|31:19  Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it
 the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a
 witness for me against the children of Israel.
   Deuteronomy|31:20  For when I shall have brought them into the land which
 I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they

 shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn
 unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
   Deuteronomy|31:21  And it shall come to pass, when many evils and
 troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a
 witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for
 I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have
 brought them into the land which I sware.
   Deuteronomy|31:22  Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and
 taught it the children of Israel.
   Deuteronomy|31:23  And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said,
 Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of
 Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
   Deuteronomy|31:24  And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of
 writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
   Deuteronomy|31:25  That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark
 of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
   Deuteronomy|31:26  Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of
 the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a
 witness against thee.
   Deuteronomy|31:27  For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold,
 while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the

 LORD; and how much more after my death?
   Deuteronomy|31:28  Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your
 officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and
 earth to record against them.
   Deuteronomy|31:29  For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt
 [yourselves], and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and
 evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the
 m to anger through the work of your hands.
   Deuteronomy|31:30  And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of
 Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
   Deuteronomy|32:1  Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O
 earth, the words of my mouth.
   Deuteronomy|32:2  My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall
 distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the
 showers upon the grass:
   Deuteronomy|32:3  Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye
 greatness unto our God.
   Deuteronomy|32:4  [He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his
 ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right
 [is] he.
   Deuteronomy|32:5  They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not

 [the spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked generation.
   Deuteronomy|32:6  Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and
 unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought thee? hath he not made
 thee, and established thee?
   Deuteronomy|32:7  Remember the days of old, consider the years of many
 generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they
 will tell thee.
   Deuteronomy|32:8  When the Most High divided to the nations their
 inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the
 people according to the number of the children of Israel.
   Deuteronomy|32:9  For the LORD'S portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the
 lot of his inheritance.
   Deuteronomy|32:10  He found him in a desert land, and in the waste
 howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the
 apple of his eye.
   Deuteronomy|32:11  As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her
 young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
   Deuteronomy|32:12  [So] the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no
 strange god with him.
   Deuteronomy|32:13  He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that
 he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out

 of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
   Deuteronomy|32:14  Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs,
 and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of
 wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
   Deuteronomy|32:15  But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen
 fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he forsook
 God [which] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
   Deuteronomy|32:16  They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods],
 with abominations provoked they him to anger.
   Deuteronomy|32:17  They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom
 they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared
 not.
   Deuteronomy|32:18  Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and
 hast forgotten God that formed thee.
   Deuteronomy|32:19  And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them],
 because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
   Deuteronomy|32:20  And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see
 what their end [shall be]: for they [are] a very froward generation,
 children in whom [is] no faith.
   Deuteronomy|32:21  They have moved me to jealousy with [that which is]
 not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will

 move them to jealousy with [those which are] not a people; I will provoke
 them to anger with a foolish nation.
   Deuteronomy|32:22  For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn
 unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and
 set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
   Deuteronomy|32:23  I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine
 arrows upon them.
   Deuteronomy|32:24  [They shall be] burnt with hunger, and devoured with
 burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of
 beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
   Deuteronomy|32:25  The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy
 both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the man of gray
 hairs.
   Deuteronomy|32:26  I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would
 make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
   Deuteronomy|32:27  Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest
 their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, [and] lest they
 should say, Our hand [is] high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
   Deuteronomy|32:28  For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is
 there any] understanding in them.
   Deuteronomy|32:29  O that they were wise, [that] they understood this,

 [that] they would consider their latter end!
   Deuteronomy|32:30  How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten
 thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut
 them up?
   Deuteronomy|32:31  For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies
 themselves [being] judges.
   Deuteronomy|32:32  For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the
 fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are]
 bitter:
   Deuteronomy|32:33  Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel
 venom of asps.
   Deuteronomy|32:34  [Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed
 up among my treasures?
   Deuteronomy|32:35  To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompense; their
 foot shall slide in [due] time: for the day of their calamity [is] at hand,
 and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
   Deuteronomy|32:36  For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent
 himself for his servants, when he seeth that [their] power is gone, and
 [there is] none shut up, or left.
   Deuteronomy|32:37  And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock
 in whom they trusted,

   Deuteronomy|32:38  Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, [and] drank
 the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, [and] be
 your protection.
   Deuteronomy|32:39  See now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no
 god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither [is
 there any] that can deliver out of my hand.
   Deuteronomy|32:40  For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for
 ever.
   Deuteronomy|32:41  If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold
 on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them
 that hate me.
   Deuteronomy|32:42  I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword
 shall devour flesh; [and that] with the blood of the slain and of the
 captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
   Deuteronomy|32:43  Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people: for he will
 avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his
 adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, [and] to his people.
   Deuteronomy|32:44  And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in
 the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
   Deuteronomy|32:45  And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to
 all Israel:

   Deuteronomy|32:46  And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the
 words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your
 children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
   Deuteronomy|32:47  For it [is] not a vain thing for you; because it [is]
 your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days in the land,
 whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
   Deuteronomy|32:48  And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day,
 saying,
   Deuteronomy|32:49  Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, [unto] mount
 Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] over against Jericho; and
 behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a
 possession:
   Deuteronomy|32:50  And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be
 gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was
 gathered unto his people:
   Deuteronomy|32:51  Because ye trespassed against me among the children of
 Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because
 ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
   Deuteronomy|32:52  Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou
 shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
   Deuteronomy|33:1  And this [is] the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of

 God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
   Deuteronomy|33:2  And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from
 Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten
 thousands of saints: from his right hand [went] a fiery law for them.
   Deuteronomy|33:3  Yea, he loved the people; all his saints [are] in thy
 hand: and they sat down at thy feet; [every one] shall receive of thy
 words.
   Deuteronomy|33:4  Moses commanded us a law, [even] the inheritance of the
 congregation of Jacob.
   Deuteronomy|33:5  And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the
 people [and] the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
   Deuteronomy|33:6  Let Reuben live, and not die; and let [not] his men be
 few.
   Deuteronomy|33:7  And this [is the blessing] of Judah: and he said, Hear,
 LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be
 sufficient for him; and be thou an help [to him] from his enemies.
   Deuteronomy|33:8  And of Levi he said, [Let] thy Thummim and thy Urim
 [be] with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, [and with] whom
 thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
   Deuteronomy|33:9  Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not
 seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own

 children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
   Deuteronomy|33:10  They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy
 law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon
 thine altar.
   Deuteronomy|33:11  Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his
 hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them
 that hate him, that they rise not again.
   Deuteronomy|33:12  [And] of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD
 shall dwell in safety by him; [and the LORD] shall cover him all the day
 long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
   Deuteronomy|33:13  And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD [be] his
 land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that
 coucheth beneath,
   Deuteronomy|33:14  And for the precious fruits [brought forth] by the
 sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
   Deuteronomy|33:15  And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and
 for the precious things of the lasting hills,
   Deuteronomy|33:16  And for the precious things of the earth and fulness
 thereof, and [for] the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let [the
 blessing] come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him
 [that was] separated from his brethren.

   Deuteronomy|33:17  His glory [is like] the firstling of his bullock, and
 his horns [are like] the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the
 people together to the ends of the earth: and they [are] the ten thousands
 of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
   Deuteronomy|33:18  And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going
 out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
   Deuteronomy|33:19  They shall call the people unto the mountain; there
 they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck [of] the
 abundance of the seas, and [of] treasures hid in the sand.
   Deuteronomy|33:20  And of Gad he said, Blessed [be] he that enlargeth
 Gad; he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
   Deuteronomy|33:21  And he provided the first part for himself, because
 there, [in] a portion of the lawgiver, [was he] seated; and he came with
 the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his
 judgments with Israel.
   Deuteronomy|33:22  And of Dan he said, Dan [is] a lion's whelp: he shall
 leap from Bashan.
   Deuteronomy|33:23  And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with
 favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and
 the south.
   Deuteronomy|33:24  And of Asher he said, [Let] Asher [be] blessed with

 children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot
 in oil.
   Deuteronomy|33:25  Thy shoes [shall be] iron and brass; and as thy days,
 [so shall] thy strength [be].
   Deuteronomy|33:26  [There is] none like unto the God of Jeshurun, [who]
 rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
   Deuteronomy|33:27  The eternal God [is thy] refuge, and underneath [are]
 the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee;
 and shall say, Destroy [them].
   Deuteronomy|33:28  Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain
 of Jacob [shall be] upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall
 drop down dew.
   Deuteronomy|33:29  Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like unto thee, O
 people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who [is] the sword of
 thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou
 shalt tread upon their high places.
   Deuteronomy|34:1  And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the
 mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that [is] over against Jericho. And
 the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
   Deuteronomy|34:2  And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and
 Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,

   Deuteronomy|34:3  And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho,
 the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
   Deuteronomy|34:4  And the LORD said unto him, This [is] the land which I
 sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto
 thy seed: I have caused thee to see [it] with thine eyes, but thou shalt
 not go over thither.
   Deuteronomy|34:5  So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land
 of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
   Deuteronomy|34:6  And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over
 against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
   Deuteronomy|34:7  And Moses [was] an hundred and twenty years old when he
 died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
   Deuteronomy|34:8  And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains
 of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses were
 ended.
   Deuteronomy|34:9  And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of
 wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel
 hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
   Deuteronomy|34:10  And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like
 unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
   Deuteronomy|34:11  In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent

 him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to
 all his land,
   Deuteronomy|34:12  And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great
 terror which Moses showed in the sight of all Israel.
   Joshua|1:1  Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came
 to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister,
 saying,
   Joshua|1:2  Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this
 Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them,
 [even] to the children of Israel.
   Joshua|1:3  Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that
 have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
   Joshua|1:4  From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great
 river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the
 great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
   Joshua|1:5  There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the
 days of thy life: as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with thee: I will not
 fail thee, nor forsake thee.
   Joshua|1:6  Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt
 thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers
 to give them.

   Joshua|1:7  Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest
 observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded
 thee: turn not from it [to] the right hand or [to] the left, that thou
 mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
   Joshua|1:8  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
 thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do
 according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way
 prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
   Joshua|1:9  Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage;
 be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God [is] with
 thee whithersoever thou goest.
   Joshua|1:10  Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
   Joshua|1:11  Pass through the host, and command the people, saying,
 Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan,
 to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess
 it.
   Joshua|1:12  And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the
 tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
   Joshua|1:13  Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD
 commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath
 given you this land.

   Joshua|1:14  Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain
 in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass
 before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
   Joshua|1:15  Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as [he hath
 given] you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God
 giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and
 enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan
 toward the sunrising.
   Joshua|1:16  And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest
 us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
   Joshua|1:17  According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will
 we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with
 Moses.
   Joshua|1:18  Whosoever [he be] that doth rebel against thy commandment,
 and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he
 shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
   Joshua|2:1  And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy
 secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came
 into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
   Joshua|2:2  And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there
 came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the

 country.
   Joshua|2:3  And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth
 the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they
 be come to search out all the country.
   Joshua|2:4  And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus,
 There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they [were]:
   Joshua|2:5  And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting of the gate,
 when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not:
 pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
   Joshua|2:6  But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid
 them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
   Joshua|2:7  And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the
 fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they
 shut the gate.
   Joshua|2:8  And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon
 the roof;
   Joshua|2:9  And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given
 you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the
 inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
   Joshua|2:10  For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red
 sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings

 of the Amorites, that [were] on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom
 ye utterly destroyed.
   Joshua|2:11  And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did
 melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you:
 for the LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
   Joshua|2:12  Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since
 I have showed you kindness, that ye will also show kindness unto my
 father's house, and give me a true token:
   Joshua|2:13  And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and
 my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives
 from death.
   Joshua|2:14  And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter
 not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the
 land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
   Joshua|2:15  Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her
 house [was] upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
   Joshua|2:16  And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the
 pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers
 be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
   Joshua|2:17  And the men said unto her, We [will be] blameless of this
 thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

   Joshua|2:18  Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind this
 line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and
 thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy
 father's household, home unto thee.
   Joshua|2:19  And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go out of the doors
 of thy house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we
 [will be] guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his
 blood [shall be] on our head, if [any] hand be upon him.
   Joshua|2:20  And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of
 thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
   Joshua|2:21  And she said, According unto your words, so [be] it. And she
 sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the
 window.
   Joshua|2:22  And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there
 three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought
 [them] throughout all the way, but found [them] not.
   Joshua|2:23  So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain,
 and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all
 [things] that befell them:
   Joshua|2:24  And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered
 into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do

 faint because of us.
   Joshua|3:1  And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from
 Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged
 there before they passed over.
   Joshua|3:2  And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went
 through the host;
   Joshua|3:3  And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of
 the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it,
 then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
   Joshua|3:4  Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two
 thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way
 by which ye must go: for ye have not passed [this] way heretofore.
   Joshua|3:5  And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for
 tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
   Joshua|3:6  And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of
 the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of
 the covenant, and went before the people.
   Joshua|3:7  And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to
 magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was
 with Moses, [so] I will be with thee.
   Joshua|3:8  And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the

 covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye
 shall stand still in Jordan.
   Joshua|3:9  And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and
 hear the words of the LORD your God.
   Joshua|3:10  And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God
 [is] among you, and [that] he will without fail drive out from before you
 the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and
 the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
   Joshua|3:11  Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth
 passeth over before you into Jordan.
   Joshua|3:12  Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of
 Israel, out of every tribe a man.
   Joshua|3:13  And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet
 of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth,
 shall rest in the waters of Jordan, [that] the waters of Jordan shall be
 cut off [from] the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand
 upon an heap.
   Joshua|3:14  And it came to pass, when the people removed from their
 tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant
 before the people;
   Joshua|3:15  And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the

 feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water,
 (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
   Joshua|3:16  That the waters which came down from above stood [and] rose
 up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that [is] beside Zaretan: and
 those that came down toward the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea,
 failed, [and] were cut off: and the people passed over right against
 Jericho.
   Joshua|3:17  And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the
 LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the
 Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed
 clean over Jordan.
   Joshua|4:1  And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed
 over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
   Joshua|4:2  Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a
 man,
   Joshua|4:3  And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst
 of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve
 stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the
 lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
   Joshua|4:4  Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of
 the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:

   Joshua|4:5  And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the
 LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a
 stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the
 children of Israel:
   Joshua|4:6  That this may be a sign among you, [that] when your children
 ask [their fathers] in time to come, saying, What [mean] ye by these
 stones?
   Joshua|4:7  Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut
 off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan,
 the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial
 unto the children of Israel for ever.
   Joshua|4:8  And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and
 took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto
 Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,
 and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid
 them down there.
   Joshua|4:9  And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in
 the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant
 stood: and they are there unto this day.
   Joshua|4:10  For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of
 Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to

 speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and
 the people hasted and passed over.
   Joshua|4:11  And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed
 over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the
 presence of the people.
   Joshua|4:12  And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and
 half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of
 Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
   Joshua|4:13  About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the
 LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
   Joshua|4:14  On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all
 Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his
 life.
   Joshua|4:15  And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
   Joshua|4:16  Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that
 they come up out of Jordan.
   Joshua|4:17  Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up
 out of Jordan.
   Joshua|4:18  And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of
 the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, [and] the
 soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the

 waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks,
 as [they did] before.
   Joshua|4:19  And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth [day] of
 the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
   Joshua|4:20  And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did
 Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
   Joshua|4:21  And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your
 children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What [mean] these
 stones?
   Joshua|4:22  Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came
 over this Jordan on dry land.
   Joshua|4:23  For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from
 before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red
 sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
   Joshua|4:24  That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the
 LORD, that it [is] mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.
   Joshua|5:1  And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites,
 which [were] on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the
 Canaanites, which [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the
 waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed
 over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more,

 because of the children of Israel.
   Joshua|5:2  At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp
 knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
   Joshua|5:3  And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the
 children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
   Joshua|5:4  And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the
 people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] all the men of
 war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
   Joshua|5:5  Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all
 the people [that were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth
 out of Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised.
   Joshua|5:6  For the children of Israel walked forty years in the
 wilderness, till all the people [that were] men of war, which came out of
 Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto
 whom the LORD sware that he would not show them the land, which the LORD
 sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with
 milk and honey.
   Joshua|5:7  And their children, [whom] he raised up in their stead, them
 Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not
 circumcised them by the way.
   Joshua|5:8  And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the

 people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
   Joshua|5:9  And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away
 the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is
 called Gilgal unto this day.
   Joshua|5:10  And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the
 passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of
 Jericho.
   Joshua|5:11  And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow
 after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn] in the selfsame
 day.
   Joshua|5:12  And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of
 the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any
 more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
   Joshua|5:13  And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he
 lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against
 him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said
 unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries?
   Joshua|5:14  And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the LORD
 am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship,
 and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
   Joshua|5:15  And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose

 thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest [is] holy.
 And Joshua did so.
   Joshua|6:1  Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of
 Israel: none went out, and none came in.
   Joshua|6:2  And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine
 hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty men of valour.
   Joshua|6:3  And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go
 round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
   Joshua|6:4  And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of
 rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and
 the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
   Joshua|6:5  And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [blast]
 with the ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the
 people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall
 down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
   Joshua|6:6  And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto
 them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven
 trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.
   Joshua|6:7  And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city,
 and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
   Joshua|6:8  And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people,

 that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on
 before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of
 the LORD followed them.
   Joshua|6:9  And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the
 trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, [the priests] going on, and
 blowing with the trumpets.
   Joshua|6:10  And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not
 shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall [any] word proceed
 out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
   Joshua|6:11  So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about [it]
 once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
   Joshua|6:12  And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took
 up the ark of the LORD.
   Joshua|6:13  And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns
 before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets:
 and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of
 the LORD, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
   Joshua|6:14  And the second day they compassed the city once, and
 returned into the camp: so they did six days.
   Joshua|6:15  And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early
 about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner

 seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
   Joshua|6:16  And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests
 blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD
 hath given you the city.
   Joshua|6:17  And the city shall be accursed, [even] it, and all that
 [are] therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all
 that [are] with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we
 sent.
   Joshua|6:18  And ye, in any wise keep [yourselves] from the accursed
 thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed, when ye take of the accursed
 thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
   Joshua|6:19  But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron,
 [are] consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the
 LORD.
   Joshua|6:20  So the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the
 trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the
 trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down
 flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before
 him, and they took the city.
   Joshua|6:21  And they utterly destroyed all that [was] in the city, both
 man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of

 the sword.
   Joshua|6:22  But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the
 country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and
 all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
   Joshua|6:23  And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out
 Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she
 had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp
 of Israel.
   Joshua|6:24  And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was]
 therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of
 iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
   Joshua|6:25  And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's
 household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel [even] unto
 this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out
 Jericho.
   Joshua|6:26  And Joshua adjured [them] at that time, saying, Cursed [be]
 the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he
 shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest
 [son] shall he set up the gates of it.
   Joshua|6:27  So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was [noised]
 throughout all the country.

   Joshua|7:1  But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the
 accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of
 Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of
 the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
   Joshua|7:2  And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] beside
 Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up
 and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.
   Joshua|7:3  And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all
 the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite
 Ai; [and] make not all the people to labour thither; for they [are but]
 few.
   Joshua|7:4  So there went up thither of the people about three thousand
 men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
   Joshua|7:5  And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for
 they chased them [from] before the gate [even] unto Shebarim, and smote
 them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and
 became as water.
   Joshua|7:6  And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his
 face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of
 Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
   Joshua|7:7  And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all

 brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the
 Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the
 other side Jordan!
   Joshua|7:8  O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs
 before their enemies!
   Joshua|7:9  For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall
 hear [of it], and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the
 earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
   Joshua|7:10  And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest
 thou thus upon thy face?
   Joshua|7:11  Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my
 covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed
 thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put [it]
 even among their own stuff.
   Joshua|7:12  Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before
 their enemies, [but] turned [their] backs before their enemies, because
 they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy
 the accursed from among you.
   Joshua|7:13  Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves
 against tomorrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [There is] an
 accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before

 thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
   Joshua|7:14  In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to
 your tribes: and it shall be, [that] the tribe which the LORD taketh shall
 come according to the families [thereof]; and the family which the LORD
 shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall
 take shall come man by man.
   Joshua|7:15  And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed
 thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath
 transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in
 Israel.
   Joshua|7:16  So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel
 by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
   Joshua|7:17  And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family
 of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and
 Zabdi was taken:
   Joshua|7:18  And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son
 of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was
 taken.
   Joshua|7:19  And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory
 to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now
 what thou hast done; hide [it] not from me.

   Joshua|7:20  And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned
 against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
   Joshua|7:21  When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and
 two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight,
 then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they [are] hid in the
 earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
   Joshua|7:22  So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and,
 behold, [it was] hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
   Joshua|7:23  And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought
 them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out
 before the LORD.
   Joshua|7:24  And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of
 Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his
 sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and
 his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of
 Achor.
   Joshua|7:25  And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall
 trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned
 them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
   Joshua|7:26  And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this
 day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the

 name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
   Joshua|8:1  And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou
 dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai:
 see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his
 city, and his land:
   Joshua|8:2  And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto
 Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall
 ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind
 it.
   Joshua|8:3  So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against
 Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent
 them away by night.
   Joshua|8:4  And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait
 against the city, [even] behind the city: go not very far from the city,
 but be ye all ready:
   Joshua|8:5  And I, and all the people that [are] with me, will approach
 unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as
 at the first, that we will flee before them,
   Joshua|8:6  (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them
 from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first:
 therefore we will flee before them.

   Joshua|8:7  Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the
 city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
   Joshua|8:8  And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, [that] ye shall
 set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do.
 See, I have commanded you.
   Joshua|8:9  Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in
 ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua
 lodged that night among the people.
   Joshua|8:10  And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the
 people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
   Joshua|8:11  And all the people, [even the people] of war that [were]
 with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on
 the north side of Ai: now [there was] a valley between them and Ai.
   Joshua|8:12  And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in
 ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
   Joshua|8:13  And when they had set the people, [even] all the host that
 [was] on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the
 city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
   Joshua|8:14  And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it], that they
 hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel
 to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain;

 but he wist not that [there were] liers in ambush against him behind the
 city.
   Joshua|8:15  And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before
 them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
   Joshua|8:16  And all the people that [were] in Ai were called together to
 pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from
 the city.
   Joshua|8:17  And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not
 out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
   Joshua|8:18  And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that
 [is] in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua
 stretched out the spear that [he had] in his hand toward the city.
   Joshua|8:19  And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they
 ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the
 city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
   Joshua|8:20  And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and,
 behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power
 to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness
 turned back upon the pursuers.
   Joshua|8:21  And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken
 the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again,

 and slew the men of Ai.
   Joshua|8:22  And the other issued out of the city against them; so they
 were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and
 they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
   Joshua|8:23  And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to
 Joshua.
   Joshua|8:24  And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying
 all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they
 chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until
 they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it
 with the edge of the sword.
   Joshua|8:25  And [so] it was, [that] all that fell that day, both of men
 and women, [were] twelve thousand, [even] all the men of Ai.
   Joshua|8:26  For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched
 out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
   Joshua|8:27  Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a
 prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he
 commanded Joshua.
   Joshua|8:28  And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, [even] a
 desolation unto this day.
   Joshua|8:29  And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and

 as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his
 carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the
 city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, [that remaineth] unto this
 day.
   Joshua|8:30  Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in
 mount Ebal,
   Joshua|8:31  As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of
 Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole
 stones, over which no man hath lift up [any] iron: and they offered thereon
 burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
   Joshua|8:32  And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of
 Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
   Joshua|8:33  And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their
 judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the
 Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the
 stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount
 Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of
 the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
   Joshua|8:34  And afterward he read all the words of the law, the
 blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the
 law.

   Joshua|8:35  There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which
 Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and
 the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
   Joshua|9:1  And it came to pass, when all the kings which [were] on this
 side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the
 great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the
 Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard [thereof];
   Joshua|9:2  That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua
 and with Israel, with one accord.
   Joshua|9:3  And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done
 unto Jericho and to Ai,
   Joshua|9:4  They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been
 ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old,
 and rent, and bound up;
   Joshua|9:5  And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments
 upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] mouldy.
   Joshua|9:6  And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said
 unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now
 therefore make ye a league with us.
   Joshua|9:7  And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye
 dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

   Joshua|9:8  And they said unto Joshua, We [are] thy servants. And Joshua
 said unto them, Who [are] ye? and from whence come ye?
   Joshua|9:9  And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants
 are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the
 fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
   Joshua|9:10  And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that
 [were] beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan,
 which [was] at Ashtaroth.
   Joshua|9:11  Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country
 spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet
 them, and say unto them, We [are] your servants: therefore now make ye a
 league with us.
   Joshua|9:12  This our bread we took hot [for] our provision out of our
 houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry,
 and it is mouldy:
   Joshua|9:13  And these bottles of wine, which we filled, [were] new; and,
 behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old
 by reason of the very long journey.
   Joshua|9:14  And the men took of their victuals, and asked not [counsel]
 at the mouth of the LORD.
   Joshua|9:15  And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with

 them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto
 them.
   Joshua|9:16  And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had
 made a league with them, that they heard that they [were] their neighbours,
 and [that] they dwelt among them.
   Joshua|9:17  And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their
 cities on the third day. Now their cities [were] Gibeon, and Chephirah, and
 Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
   Joshua|9:18  And the children of Israel smote them not, because the
 princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel.
 And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
   Joshua|9:19  But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have
 sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch
 them.
   Joshua|9:20  This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest
 wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
   Joshua|9:21  And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them
 be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the
 princes had promised them.
   Joshua|9:22  And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying,
 Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We [are] very far from you; when ye

 dwell among us?
   Joshua|9:23  Now therefore ye [are] cursed, and there shall none of you
 be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for
 the house of my God.
   Joshua|9:24  And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly
 told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to
 give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from
 before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and
 have done this thing.
   Joshua|9:25  And now, behold, we [are] in thine hand: as it seemeth good
 and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
   Joshua|9:26  And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand
 of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
   Joshua|9:27  And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of
 water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this
 day, in the place which he should choose.
   Joshua|10:1  Now it came to pass, when Adonizedek king of Jerusalem had
 heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done
 to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the
 inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
   Joshua|10:2  That they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great city,

 as one of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater than Ai, and all
 the men thereof [were] mighty.
   Joshua|10:3  Wherefore Adonizedek king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king
 of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish,
 and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
   Joshua|10:4  Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for
 it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
   Joshua|10:5  Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of
 Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish,
 the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all
 their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
   Joshua|10:6  And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to
 Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us
 quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that
 dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
   Joshua|10:7  So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of
 war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
   Joshua|10:8  And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have
 delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before
 thee.
   Joshua|10:9  Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, [and] went up from

 Gilgal all night.
   Joshua|10:10  And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them
 with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth
 up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
   Joshua|10:11  And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, [and]
 were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones
 from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: [they were] more which
 died with hailstones than [they] whom the children of Israel slew with the
 sword.
   Joshua|10:12  Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD
 delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the
 sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the
 valley of Ajalon.
   Joshua|10:13  And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the
 people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. [Is] not this written in
 the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and
 hasted not to go down about a whole day.
   Joshua|10:14  And there was no day like that before it or after it, that
 the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
   Joshua|10:15  And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp
 to Gilgal.

   Joshua|10:16  But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at
 Makkedah.
   Joshua|10:17  And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found
 hid in a cave at Makkedah.
   Joshua|10:18  And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the
 cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
   Joshua|10:19  And stay ye not, [but] pursue after your enemies, and smite
 the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the
 LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
   Joshua|10:20  And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel
 had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were
 consumed, that the rest [which] remained of them entered into fenced
 cities.
   Joshua|10:21  And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at
 Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of
 Israel.
   Joshua|10:22  Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out
 those five kings unto me out of the cave.
   Joshua|10:23  And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto
 him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of
 Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon.

   Joshua|10:24  And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto
 Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the
 captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet
 upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon
 the necks of them.
   Joshua|10:25  And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be
 strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies
 against whom ye fight.
   Joshua|10:26  And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged
 them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
   Joshua|10:27  And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the
 sun, [that] Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and
 cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in
 the cave's mouth, [which remain] until this very day.
   Joshua|10:28  And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the
 edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all
 the souls that [were] therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king
 of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
   Joshua|10:29  Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him,
 unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
   Joshua|10:30  And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into

 the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the
 souls that [were] therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king
 thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
   Joshua|10:31  And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him,
 unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
   Joshua|10:32  And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel,
 which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword,
 and all the souls that [were] therein, according to all that he had done to
 Libnah.
   Joshua|10:33  Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and
 Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
   Joshua|10:34  And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel
 with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
   Joshua|10:35  And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of
 the sword, and all the souls that [were] therein he utterly destroyed that
 day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
   Joshua|10:36  And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him,
 unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
   Joshua|10:37  And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword,
 and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that
 [were] therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done

 to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that [were] therein.
   Joshua|10:38  And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and
 fought against it:
   Joshua|10:39  And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities
 thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly
 destroyed all the souls that [were] therein; he left none remaining: as he
 had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had
 done also to Libnah, and to her king.
   Joshua|10:40  So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the
 south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left
 none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of
 Israel commanded.
   Joshua|10:41  And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and
 all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
   Joshua|10:42  And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one
 time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
   Joshua|10:43  And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp
 to Gilgal.
   Joshua|11:1  And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard
 [those things], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of
 Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

   Joshua|11:2  And to the kings that [were] on the north of the mountains,
 and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the
 borders of Dor on the west,
   Joshua|11:3  [And to] the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and [to]
 the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the
 mountains, and [to] the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
   Joshua|11:4  And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much
 people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in multitude, with
 horses and chariots very many.
   Joshua|11:5  And when all these kings were met together, they came and
 pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
   Joshua|11:6  And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of
 them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before
 Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
   Joshua|11:7  So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against
 them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
   Joshua|11:8  And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who
 smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and
 unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left
 them none remaining.
   Joshua|11:9  And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he hocked

 their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
   Joshua|11:10  And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and
 smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of
 all those kingdoms.
   Joshua|11:11  And they smote all the souls that [were] therein with the
 edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there was not any left to
 breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
   Joshua|11:12  And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of
 them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, [and] he
 utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
   Joshua|11:13  But [as for] the cities that stood still in their strength,
 Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; [that] did Joshua burn.
   Joshua|11:14  And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the
 children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they
 smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither
 left they any to breathe.
   Joshua|11:15  As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses
 command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the
 LORD commanded Moses.
   Joshua|11:16  So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south
 country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the

 mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
   Joshua|11:17  [Even] from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even
 unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their
 kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
   Joshua|11:18  Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
   Joshua|11:19  There was not a city that made peace with the children of
 Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all [other] they took
 in battle.
   Joshua|11:20  For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they
 should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly,
 [and] that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as
 the LORD commanded Moses.
   Joshua|11:21  And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from
 the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the
 mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed
 them utterly with their cities.
   Joshua|11:22  There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the
 children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
   Joshua|11:23  So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the
 LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel
 according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

   Joshua|12:1  Now these [are] the kings of the land, which the children of
 Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the
 rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the
 plain on the east:
   Joshua|12:2  Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, [and]
 ruled from Aroer, which [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the
 middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok,
 [which is] the border of the children of Ammon;
   Joshua|12:3  And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and
 unto the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea on the east, the way to
 Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:
   Joshua|12:4  And the coast of Og king of Bashan, [which was] of the
 remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
   Joshua|12:5  And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all
 Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half
 Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
   Joshua|12:6  Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of
 Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it [for] a possession
 unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
   Joshua|12:7  And these [are] the kings of the country which Joshua and
 the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad

 in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir;
 which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel [for] a possession according to
 their divisions;
   Joshua|12:8  In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and
 in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the
 Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites,
 and the Jebusites:
   Joshua|12:9  The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which [is] beside
 Bethel, one;
   Joshua|12:10  The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
   Joshua|12:11  The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;
   Joshua|12:12  The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;
   Joshua|12:13  The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;
   Joshua|12:14  The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
   Joshua|12:15  The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;
   Joshua|12:16  The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;
   Joshua|12:17  The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;
   Joshua|12:18  The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;
   Joshua|12:19  The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;
   Joshua|12:20  The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
   Joshua|12:21  The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

   Joshua|12:22  The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel,
 one;
   Joshua|12:23  The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the
 nations of Gilgal, one;
   Joshua|12:24  The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.
   Joshua|13:1  Now Joshua was old [and] stricken in years; and the LORD
 said unto him, Thou art old [and] stricken in years, and there remaineth
 yet very much land to be possessed.
   Joshua|13:2  This [is] the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of
 the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
   Joshua|13:3  From Sihor, which [is] before Egypt, even unto the borders
 of Ekron northward, [which] is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the
 Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the
 Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
   Joshua|13:4  From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah
 that [is] beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
   Joshua|13:5  And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the
 sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
   Joshua|13:6  All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto
 Misrephothmaim, [and] all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before
 the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for

 an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
   Joshua|13:7  Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the
 nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
   Joshua|13:8  With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their
 inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, [even] as Moses
 the servant of the LORD gave them;
   Joshua|13:9  From Aroer, that [is] upon the bank of the river Arnon, and
 the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba
 unto Dibon;
   Joshua|13:10  And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which
 reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
   Joshua|13:11  And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and
 Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
   Joshua|13:12  All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth
 and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did
 Moses smite, and cast them out.
   Joshua|13:13  Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the
 Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites
 dwell among the Israelites until this day.
   Joshua|13:14  Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the
 sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire [are] their inheritance,

 as he said unto them.
   Joshua|13:15  And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben
 [inheritance] according to their families.
   Joshua|13:16  And their coast was from Aroer, that [is] on the bank of
 the river Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the river, and all
 the plain by Medeba;
   Joshua|13:17  Heshbon, and all her cities that [are] in the plain; Dibon,
 and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
   Joshua|13:18  And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
   Joshua|13:19  And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount
 of the valley,
   Joshua|13:20  And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
   Joshua|13:21  And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of
 Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with
 the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, [which
 were] dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
   Joshua|13:22  Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the
 children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
   Joshua|13:23  And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and
 the border [thereof]. This [was] the inheritance of the children of Reuben
 after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.

   Joshua|13:24  And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the tribe of Gad, [even]
 unto the children of Gad according to their families.
   Joshua|13:25  And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead,
 and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that [is] before
 Rabbah;
   Joshua|13:26  And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from
 Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
   Joshua|13:27  And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth,
 and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and
 [his] border, [even] unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other
 side Jordan eastward.
   Joshua|13:28  This [is] the inheritance of the children of Gad after
 their families, the cities, and their villages.
   Joshua|13:29  And Moses gave [inheritance] unto the half tribe of
 Manasseh: and [this] was [the possession] of the half tribe of the children
 of Manasseh by their families.
   Joshua|13:30  And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the
 kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which [are] in
 Bashan, threescore cities:
   Joshua|13:31  And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the
 kingdom of Og in Bashan, [were pertaining] unto the children of Machir the

 son of Manasseh, [even] to the one half of the children of Machir by their
 families.
   Joshua|13:32  These [are the countries] which Moses did distribute for
 inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho,
 eastward.
   Joshua|13:33  But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not [any]
 inheritance: the LORD God of Israel [was] their inheritance, as he said
 unto them.
   Joshua|14:1  And these [are the countries] which the children of Israel
 inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the
 son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of
 Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
   Joshua|14:2  By lot [was] their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the
 hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and [for] the half tribe.
   Joshua|14:3  For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an
 half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none
 inheritance among them.
   Joshua|14:4  For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and
 Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save
 cities to dwell [in], with their suburbs for their cattle and for their
 substance.

   Joshua|14:5  As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did,
 and they divided the land.
   Joshua|14:6  Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and
 Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the
 thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee
 in Kadeshbarnea.
   Joshua|14:7  Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the LORD
 sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word
 again as [it was] in mine heart.
   Joshua|14:8  Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart
 of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
   Joshua|14:9  And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon
 thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for
 ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
   Joshua|14:10  And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said,
 these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses,
 while [the children of] Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I
 [am] this day fourscore and five years old.
   Joshua|14:11  As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that
 Moses sent me: as my strength [was] then, even so [is] my strength now, for
 war, both to go out, and to come in.

   Joshua|14:12  Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake
 in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims [were] there,
 and [that] the cities [were] great [and] fenced: if so be the LORD [will
 be] with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
   Joshua|14:13  And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of
 Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
   Joshua|14:14  Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of
 Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the
 LORD God of Israel.
   Joshua|14:15  And the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba; [which
 Arba was] a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
   Joshua|15:1  [This] then was the lot of the tribe of the children of
 Judah by their families; [even] to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin
 southward [was] the uttermost part of the south coast.
   Joshua|15:2  And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea,
 from the bay that looketh southward:
   Joshua|15:3  And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and
 passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea,
 and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to
 Karkaa:
   Joshua|15:4  [From thence] it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the

 river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this
 shall be your south coast.
   Joshua|15:5  And the east border [was] the salt sea, [even] unto the end
 of Jordan. And [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of
 the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:
   Joshua|15:6  And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the
 north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son
 of Reuben:
   Joshua|15:7  And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of
 Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that [is] before the going
 up to Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the river: and the border
 passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at
 Enrogel:
   Joshua|15:8  And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom
 unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same [is] Jerusalem: and the
 border went up to the top of the mountain that [lieth] before the valley of
 Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants
 northward:
   Joshua|15:9  And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the
 fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount
 Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which [is] Kirjathjearim:

   Joshua|15:10  And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount
 Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which [is] Chesalon,
 on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
   Joshua|15:11  And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward:
 and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and
 went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
   Joshua|15:12  And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the coast
 [thereof]. This [is] the coast of the children of Judah round about
 according to their families.
   Joshua|15:13  And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among
 the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua,
 [even] the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is] Hebron.
   Joshua|15:14  And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and
 Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
   Joshua|15:15  And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the
 name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher.
   Joshua|15:16  And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh
 it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
   Joshua|15:17  And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took
 it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
   Joshua|15:18  And it came to pass, as she came [unto him], that she moved

 him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off [her] ass; and Caleb
 said unto her, What wouldest thou?
   Joshua|15:19  Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a
 south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper
 springs, and the nether springs.
   Joshua|15:20  This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of
 Judah according to their families.
   Joshua|15:21  And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of
 Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,
   Joshua|15:22  And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
   Joshua|15:23  And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,
   Joshua|15:24  Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,

   Joshua|15:31  And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,
   Joshua|15:32  And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the

 cities [are] twenty and nine, with their villages:
   Joshua|15:33  [And] in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,
   Joshua|15:34  And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam,
   Joshua|15:35  Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,
   Joshua|15:36  And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim;
 fourteen cities with their villages:
   Joshua|15:37  Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad,
   Joshua|15:38  And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,
   Joshua|15:39  Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,
   Joshua|15:40  And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish,
   Joshua|15:41  And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen
 cities with their villages:
   Joshua|15:42  Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,
   Joshua|15:43  And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,
   Joshua|15:44  And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with
 their villages:
   Joshua|15:45  Ekron, with her towns and her villages:
   Joshua|15:46  From Ekron even unto the sea, all that [lay] near Ashdod,
 with their villages:
   Joshua|15:47  Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns
 and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the

 border [thereof]:
   Joshua|15:48  And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,
   Joshua|15:49  And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which [is] Debir,
   Joshua|15:50  And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,
   Joshua|15:51  And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their
 villages:
   Joshua|15:52  Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,
   Joshua|15:53  And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah,
   Joshua|15:54  And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which [is] Hebron, and Zior;

   Joshua|15:56  And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,
   Joshua|15:57  Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:
   Joshua|15:58  Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor,
   Joshua|15:59  And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with
 their villages:
   Joshua|15:60  Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two
 cities with their villages:
   Joshua|15:61  In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah,
   Joshua|15:62  And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities
 with their villages.

   Joshua|15:63  As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the
 children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with
 the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
   Joshua|16:1  And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by
 Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that
 goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel.
   Joshua|16:2  And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the
 borders of Archi to Ataroth,
   Joshua|16:3  And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the
 coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings out thereof are
 at the sea.
   Joshua|16:4  So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their
 inheritance.
   Joshua|16:5  And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their
 families was [thus]: even the border of their inheritance on the east side
 was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
   Joshua|16:6  And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the
 north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and
 passed by it on the east to Janohah;
   Joshua|16:7  And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath,
 and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.

   Joshua|16:8  The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river
 Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This [is] the
 inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
   Joshua|16:9  And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim [were]
 among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with
 their villages.
   Joshua|16:10  And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer:
 but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve
 under tribute.
   Joshua|17:1  There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he [was]
 the firstborn of Joseph; [to wit], for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh,
 the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead
 and Bashan.
   Joshua|17:2  There was also [a lot] for the rest of the children of
 Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the
 children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of
 Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida:
 these [were] the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their
 families.
   Joshua|17:3  But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the
 son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these

 [are] the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and
 Tirzah.
   Joshua|17:4  And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before
 Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded
 Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to
 the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren
 of their father.
   Joshua|17:5  And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of
 Gilead and Bashan, which [were] on the other side Jordan;
   Joshua|17:6  Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among
 his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
   Joshua|17:7  And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that
 [lieth] before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto
 the inhabitants of Entappuah.
   Joshua|17:8  [Now] Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the
 border of Manasseh [belonged] to the children of Ephraim;
   Joshua|17:9  And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of
 the river: these cities of Ephraim [are] among the cities of Manasseh: the
 coast of Manasseh also [was] on the north side of the river, and the
 outgoings of it were at the sea:
   Joshua|17:10  Southward [it was] Ephraim's, and northward [it was]

 Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on
 the north, and in Issachar on the east.
   Joshua|17:11  And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her
 towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns,
 and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach
 and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, [even] three
 countries.
   Joshua|17:12  Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out [the
 inhabitants of] those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
   Joshua|17:13  Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen
 strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute; but did not utterly drive
 them out.
   Joshua|17:14  And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why
 hast thou given me [but] one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I [am]
 a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
   Joshua|17:15  And Joshua answered them, If thou [be] a great people,
 [then] get thee up to the wood [country], and cut down for thyself there in
 the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too
 narrow for thee.
   Joshua|17:16  And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for
 us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have

 chariots of iron, [both they] who [are] of Bethshean and her towns, and
 [they] who [are] of the valley of Jezreel.
   Joshua|17:17  And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, [even] to
 Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou [art] a great people, and hast great
 power: thou shalt not have one lot [only]:
   Joshua|17:18  But the mountain shall be thine; for it [is] a wood, and
 thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou
 shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, [and]
 though they [be] strong.
   Joshua|18:1  And the whole congregation of the children of Israel
 assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation
 there. And the land was subdued before them.
   Joshua|18:2  And there remained among the children of Israel seven
 tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
   Joshua|18:3  And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long [are]
 ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath
 given you?
   Joshua|18:4  Give out from among you three men for [each] tribe: and I
 will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe
 it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come [again] to me.
   Joshua|18:5  And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide

 in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their
 coasts on the north.
   Joshua|18:6  Ye shall therefore describe the land [into] seven parts, and
 bring [the description] hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here
 before the LORD our God.
   Joshua|18:7  But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood
 of the LORD [is] their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe
 of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east,
 which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
   Joshua|18:8  And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them
 that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and
 describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before
 the LORD in Shiloh.
   Joshua|18:9  And the men went and passed through the land, and described
 it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came [again] to Joshua to the
 host at Shiloh.
   Joshua|18:10  And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD:
 and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to
 their divisions.
   Joshua|18:11  And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came
 up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth

 between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
   Joshua|18:12  And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the
 border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up
 through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the
 wilderness of Bethaven.
   Joshua|18:13  And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the
 side of Luz, which [is] Bethel, southward; and the border descended to
 Atarothadar, near the hill that [lieth] on the south side of the nether
 Bethhoron.
   Joshua|18:14  And the border was drawn [thence], and compassed the corner
 of the sea southward, from the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron
 southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which [is]
 Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this [was] the west
 quarter.
   Joshua|18:15  And the south quarter [was] from the end of Kirjathjearim,
 and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of
 Nephtoah:
   Joshua|18:16  And the border came down to the end of the mountain that
 [lieth] before the valley of the son of Hinnom, [and] which [is] in the
 valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom,
 to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,

   Joshua|18:17  And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh,
 and went forth toward Geliloth, which [is] over against the going up of
 Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
   Joshua|18:18  And passed along toward the side over against Arabah
 northward, and went down unto Arabah:
   Joshua|18:19  And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah
 northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the
 salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this [was] the south coast.
   Joshua|18:20  And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This
 [was] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof
 round about, according to their families.
   Joshua|18:21  Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin
 according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of
 Keziz.
   Joshua|18:22  And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
   Joshua|18:23  And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
   Joshua|18:24  And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities
 with their villages:
   Joshua|18:25  Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
   Joshua|18:26  And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
   Joshua|18:27  And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,

   Joshua|18:28  And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which [is] Jerusalem,
 Gibeath, [and] Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This [is] the
 inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
   Joshua|19:1  And the second lot came forth to Simeon, [even] for the
 tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their
 inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.
   Joshua|19:2  And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and
 Moladah,
   Joshua|19:3  And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,
   Joshua|19:4  And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
   Joshua|19:5  And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,
   Joshua|19:6  And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their
 villages:
   Joshua|19:7  Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their
 villages:
   Joshua|19:8  And all the villages that [were] round about these cities to
 Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of
 the children of Simeon according to their families.
   Joshua|19:9  Out of the portion of the children of Judah [was] the
 inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of
 Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their

 inheritance within the inheritance of them.
   Joshua|19:10  And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun
 according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto
 Sarid:
   Joshua|19:11  And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and
 reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that [is] before Jokneam;
   Joshua|19:12  And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto
 the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up
 to Japhia.
   Joshua|19:13  And from thence passeth on along on the east to
 Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;
   Joshua|19:14  And the border compasseth it on the north side to
 Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel:
   Joshua|19:15  And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and
 Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.
   Joshua|19:16  This [is] the inheritance of the children of Zebulun
 according to their families, these cities with their villages.
   Joshua|19:17  [And] the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children
 of Issachar according to their families.
   Joshua|19:18  And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and
 Shunem,

   Joshua|19:19  And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,
   Joshua|19:20  And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,
   Joshua|19:21  And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez;
   Joshua|19:22  And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and
 Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen
 cities with their villages.
   Joshua|19:23  This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of
 Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.
   Joshua|19:24  And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of
 Asher according to their families.
   Joshua|19:25  And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and
 Achshaph,
   Joshua|19:26  And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to
 Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;
   Joshua|19:27  And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth
 to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of
 Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,
   Joshua|19:28  And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, [even] unto
 great Zidon;
   Joshua|19:29  And [then] the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong
 city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at

 the sea from the coast to Achzib:
   Joshua|19:30  Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities
 with their villages.
   Joshua|19:31  This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of
 Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.
   Joshua|19:32  The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, [even]
 for the children of Naphtali according to their families.
   Joshua|19:33  And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim,
 and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were
 at Jordan:
   Joshua|19:34  And [then] the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and
 goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side,
 and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the
 sunrising.
   Joshua|19:35  And the fenced cities [are] Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath,
 Rakkath, and Chinnereth,
   Joshua|19:36  And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
   Joshua|19:37  And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,
   Joshua|19:38  And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and
 Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.
   Joshua|19:39  This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of

 Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.
   Joshua|19:40  [And] the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the
 children of Dan according to their families.
   Joshua|19:41  And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol,
 and Irshemesh,
   Joshua|19:42  And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,
   Joshua|19:43  And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,
   Joshua|19:44  And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,
   Joshua|19:45  And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,
   Joshua|19:46  And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.
   Joshua|19:47  And the coast of the children of Dan went out [too little]
 for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem,
 and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and
 dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
   Joshua|19:48  This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of
 Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
   Joshua|19:49  When they had made an end of dividing the land for
 inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to
 Joshua the son of Nun among them:
   Joshua|19:50  According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city
 which he asked, [even] Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the

 city, and dwelt therein.
   Joshua|19:51  These [are] the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and
 Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the
 children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the
 LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an
 end of dividing the country.
   Joshua|20:1  The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
   Joshua|20:2  Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you
 cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
   Joshua|20:3  That the slayer that killeth [any] person unawares [and]
 unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the
 avenger of blood.
   Joshua|20:4  And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall
 stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause
 in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city
 unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
   Joshua|20:5  And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they
 shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his
 neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
   Joshua|20:6  And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the
 congregation for judgment, [and] until the death of the high priest that

 shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own
 city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
   Joshua|20:7  And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and
 Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which [is] Hebron, in the
 mountain of Judah.
   Joshua|20:8  And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they
 assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben,
 and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of
 the tribe of Manasseh.
   Joshua|20:9  These were the cities appointed for all the children of
 Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever
 killeth [any] person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the
 hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
   Joshua|21:1  Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto
 Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of
 the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
   Joshua|21:2  And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan,
 saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell
 in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
   Joshua|21:3  And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of
 their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their

 suburbs.
   Joshua|21:4  And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and
 the children of Aaron the priest, [which were] of the Levites, had by lot
 out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the
 tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
   Joshua|21:5  And the rest of the children of Kohath [had] by lot out of
 the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out
 of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
   Joshua|21:6  And the children of Gershon [had] by lot out of the families
 of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the
 tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan,
 thirteen cities.
   Joshua|21:7  The children of Merari by their families [had] out of the
 tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of
 Zebulun, twelve cities.
   Joshua|21:8  And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites
 these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of
 Moses.
   Joshua|21:9  And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and
 out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are [here]
 mentioned by name,

   Joshua|21:10  Which the children of Aaron, [being] of the families of the
 Kohathites, [who were] of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the
 first lot.
   Joshua|21:11  And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak,
 which [city is] Hebron, in the hill [country] of Judah, with the suburbs
 thereof round about it.
   Joshua|21:12  But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave
 they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
   Joshua|21:13  Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron
 with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with
 her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:14  And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:15  And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:16  And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs,
 [and] Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
   Joshua|21:17  And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs,
 Geba with her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:18  Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four
 cities.
   Joshua|21:19  All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests,
 [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.

   Joshua|21:20  And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites
 which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their
 lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
   Joshua|21:21  For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount
 Ephraim, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her
 suburbs,
   Joshua|21:22  And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her
 suburbs; four cities.
   Joshua|21:23  And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs,
 Gibbethon with her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:24  Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four
 cities.
   Joshua|21:25  And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her
 suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.
   Joshua|21:26  All the cities [were] ten with their suburbs for the
 families of the children of Kohath that remained.
   Joshua|21:27  And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the
 Levites, out of the [other] half tribe of Manasseh [they gave] Golan in
 Bashan with her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and
 Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.
   Joshua|21:28  And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs,

 Dabareh with her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:29  Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four
 cities.
   Joshua|21:30  And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs,
 Abdon with her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:31  Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four
 cities.
   Joshua|21:32  And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with
 her suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with
 her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.
   Joshua|21:33  All the cities of the Gershonites according to their
 families [were] thirteen cities with their suburbs.
   Joshua|21:34  And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest
 of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and
 Kartah with her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:35  Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four
 cities.
   Joshua|21:36  And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and
 Jahazah with her suburbs,
   Joshua|21:37  Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs;
 four cities.

   Joshua|21:38  And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her
 suburbs, [to be] a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her
 suburbs,
   Joshua|21:39  Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four
 cities in all.
   Joshua|21:40  So all the cities for the children of Merari by their
 families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were [by]
 their lot twelve cities.
   Joshua|21:41  All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the
 children of Israel [were] forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
   Joshua|21:42  These cities were every one with their suburbs round about
 them: thus [were] all these cities.
   Joshua|21:43  And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware
 to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
   Joshua|21:44  And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all
 that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their
 enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
   Joshua|21:45  There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had
 spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
   Joshua|22:1  Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the
 half tribe of Manasseh,

   Joshua|22:2  And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant
 of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded
 you:
   Joshua|22:3  Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this
 day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.
   Joshua|22:4  And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your
 brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto
 your tents, [and] unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant
 of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
   Joshua|22:5  But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law,
 which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God,
 and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave
 unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
   Joshua|22:6  So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went
 unto their tents.
   Joshua|22:7  Now to the [one] half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had
 given [possession] in Bashan: but unto the [other] half thereof gave Joshua
 among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent
 them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,
   Joshua|22:8  And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto
 your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with

 brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your
 enemies with your brethren.
   Joshua|22:9  And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
 half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel
 out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of
 Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed,
 according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
   Joshua|22:10  And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that [are]
 in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and
 the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to
 see to.
   Joshua|22:11  And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children
 of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built
 an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the
 passage of the children of Israel.
   Joshua|22:12  And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole
 congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at
 Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
   Joshua|22:13  And the children of Israel sent unto the children of
 Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into
 the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

   Joshua|22:14  And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince
 throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one [was] an head of the
 house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
   Joshua|22:15  And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the
 children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of
 Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,
   Joshua|22:16  Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What
 trespass [is] this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to
 turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an
 altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
   Joshua|22:17  [Is] the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we
 are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the
 congregation of the LORD,
   Joshua|22:18  But that ye must turn away this day from following the
 LORD? and it will be, [seeing] ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to
 morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
   Joshua|22:19  Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession [be]
 unclean, [then] pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD,
 wherein the LORD'S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but
 rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar
 beside the altar of the LORD our God.

   Joshua|22:20  Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the
 accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that
 man perished not alone in his iniquity.
   Joshua|22:21  Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
 half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands
 of Israel,
   Joshua|22:22  The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and
 Israel he shall know; if [it be] in rebellion, or if in transgression
 against the LORD, (save us not this day,)
   Joshua|22:23  That we have built us an altar to turn from following the
 LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to
 offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require [it];
   Joshua|22:24  And if we have not [rather] done it for fear of [this]
 thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children,
 saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?
   Joshua|22:25  For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you,
 ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so
 shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.
   Joshua|22:26  Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar,
 not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
   Joshua|22:27  But [that] it [may be] a witness between us, and you, and

 our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before
 him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace
 offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come,
 Ye have no part in the LORD.
   Joshua|22:28  Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should [so]
 say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say [again],
 Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not
 for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it [is] a witness between us
 and you.
   Joshua|22:29  God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn
 this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings,
 for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God
 that [is] before his tabernacle.
   Joshua|22:30  And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the
 congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which [were] with him,
 heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the
 children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
   Joshua|22:31  And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the
 children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of
 Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD [is] among us, because ye have
 not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the

 children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.
   Joshua|22:32  And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the
 princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of
 Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of
 Israel, and brought them word again.
   Joshua|22:33  And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the
 children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in
 battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
   Joshua|22:34  And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called
 the altar [Ed]: for it [shall be] a witness between us that the LORD [is]
 God.
   Joshua|23:1  And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had
 given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua
 waxed old [and] stricken in age.
   Joshua|23:2  And Joshua called for all Israel, [and] for their elders,
 and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said
 unto them, I am old [and] stricken in age:
   Joshua|23:3  And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto
 all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God [is] he that hath
 fought for you.
   Joshua|23:4  Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that

 remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the
 nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.
   Joshua|23:5  And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you,
 and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as
 the LORD your God hath promised unto you.
   Joshua|23:6  Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that
 is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside
 therefrom [to] the right hand or [to] the left;
   Joshua|23:7  That ye come not among these nations, these that remain
 among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to
 swear [by them], neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
   Joshua|23:8  But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this
 day.
   Joshua|23:9  For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations
 and strong: but [as for] you, no man hath been able to stand before you
 unto this day.
   Joshua|23:10  One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your
 God, he [it is] that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
   Joshua|23:11  Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the
 LORD your God.
   Joshua|23:12  Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the

 remnant of these nations, [even] these that remain among you, and shall
 make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:
   Joshua|23:13  Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more
 drive out [any of] these nations from before you; but they shall be snares
 and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes,
 until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given
 you.
   Joshua|23:14  And, behold, this day I [am] going the way of all the
 earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one
 thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake
 concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, [and] not one thing hath
 failed thereof.
   Joshua|23:15  Therefore it shall come to pass, [that] as all good things
 are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD
 bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this
 good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
   Joshua|23:16  When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your
 God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed
 yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against
 you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given
 unto you.

   Joshua|24:1  And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and
 called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges,
 and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
   Joshua|24:2  And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God
 of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time,
 [even] Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they
 served other gods.
   Joshua|24:3  And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the
 flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his
 seed, and gave him Isaac.
   Joshua|24:4  And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau
 mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
   Joshua|24:5  I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according
 to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
   Joshua|24:6  And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto
 the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and
 horsemen unto the Red sea.
   Joshua|24:7  And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between
 you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and
 your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the
 wilderness a long season.

   Joshua|24:8  And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt
 on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into
 your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from
 before you.
   Joshua|24:9  Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred
 against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
   Joshua|24:10  But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed
 you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
   Joshua|24:11  And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men
 of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the
 Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the
 Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
   Joshua|24:12  And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from
 before you, [even] the two kings of the Amorites; [but] not with thy sword,
 nor with thy bow.
   Joshua|24:13  And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour,
 and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and
 oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
   Joshua|24:14  Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and
 in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side
 of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.

   Joshua|24:15  And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you
 this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served
 that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in
 whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
   Joshua|24:16  And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should
 forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
   Joshua|24:17  For the LORD our God, he [it is] that brought us up and our
 fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did
 those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we
 went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
   Joshua|24:18  And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even
 the Amorites which dwelt in the land: [therefore] will we also serve the
 LORD; for he [is] our God.
   Joshua|24:19  And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD:
 for he [is] an holy God; he [is] a jealous God; he will not forgive your
 transgressions nor your sins.
   Joshua|24:20  If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he
 will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you
 good.
   Joshua|24:21  And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the
 LORD.

   Joshua|24:22  And Joshua said unto the people, Ye [are] witnesses against
 yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said,
 [We are] witnesses.
   Joshua|24:23  Now therefore put away, [said he], the strange gods which
 [are] among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.
   Joshua|24:24  And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we
 serve, and his voice will we obey.
   Joshua|24:25  So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set
 them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
   Joshua|24:26  And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God,
 and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that [was] by the
 sanctuary of the LORD.
   Joshua|24:27  And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone
 shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD
 which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye
 deny your God.
   Joshua|24:28  So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his
 inheritance.
   Joshua|24:29  And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son
 of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, [being] an hundred and ten years
 old.

   Joshua|24:30  And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in
 Timnathserah, which [is] in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of
 Gaash.
   Joshua|24:31  And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all
 the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the
 works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.
   Joshua|24:32  And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel
 brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground
 which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an
 hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of
 Joseph.
   Joshua|24:33  And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a
 hill [that pertained to] Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount
 Ephraim.
   Judges|1:1  Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the
 children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against
 the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
   Judges|1:2  And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have
 delivered the land into his hand.
   Judges|1:3  And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into
 my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go

 with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
   Judges|1:4  And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and
 the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand
 men.
   Judges|1:5  And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against
 him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
   Judges|1:6  But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught
 him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
   Judges|1:7  And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their
 thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered [their meat] under my table:
 as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem,
 and there he died.
   Judges|1:8  Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and
 had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city
 on fire.
   Judges|1:9  And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight
 against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and
 in the valley.
   Judges|1:10  And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron:
 (now the name of Hebron before [was] Kirjatharba:) and they slew Sheshai,
 and Ahiman, and Talmai.

   Judges|1:11  And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir:
 and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher:
   Judges|1:12  And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh
 it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
   Judges|1:13  And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took
 it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
   Judges|1:14  And it came to pass, when she came [to him], that she moved
 him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off [her] ass; and
 Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?
   Judges|1:15  And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast
 given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her
 the upper springs and the nether springs.
   Judges|1:16  And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went
 up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the
 wilderness of Judah, which [lieth] in the south of Arad; and they went and
 dwelt among the people.
   Judges|1:17  And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the
 Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name
 of the city was called Hormah.
   Judges|1:18  Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon
 with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

   Judges|1:19  And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out [the
 inhabitants of] the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of
 the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
   Judges|1:20  And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he
 expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
   Judges|1:21  And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites
 that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of
 Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
   Judges|1:22  And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel:
 and the LORD [was] with them.
   Judges|1:23  And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name
 of the city before [was] Luz.)
   Judges|1:24  And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they
 said unto him, Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we
 will show thee mercy.
   Judges|1:25  And when he showed them the entrance into the city, they
 smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all
 his family.
   Judges|1:26  And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a
 city, and called the name thereof Luz: which [is] the name thereof unto
 this day.

   Judges|1:27  Neither did Manasseh drive out [the inhabitants of]
 Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of
 Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the
 inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in
 that land.
   Judges|1:28  And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put
 the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
   Judges|1:29  Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in
 Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
   Judges|1:30  Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor
 the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became
 tributaries.
   Judges|1:31  Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor
 the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor
 of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
   Judges|1:32  But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the
 inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
   Judges|1:33  Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of
 Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the
 Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of
 Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them.

   Judges|1:34  And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the
 mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
   Judges|1:35  But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and
 in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they
 became tributaries.
   Judges|1:36  And the coast of the Amorites [was] from the going up to
 Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
   Judges|2:1  And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and
 said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land
 which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant
 with you.
   Judges|2:2  And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this
 land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice:
 why have ye done this?
   Judges|2:3  Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before
 you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a
 snare unto you.
   Judges|2:4  And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these
 words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their
 voice, and wept.
   Judges|2:5  And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they

 sacrificed there unto the LORD.
   Judges|2:6  And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel
 went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
   Judges|2:7  And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and
 all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great
 works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
   Judges|2:8  And Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died,
 [being] an hundred and ten years old.
   Judges|2:9  And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in
 Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
   Judges|2:10  And also all that generation were gathered unto their
 fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the
 LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
   Judges|2:11  And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the
 LORD, and served Baalim:
   Judges|2:12  And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which
 brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods
 of the people that [were] round about them, and bowed themselves unto them,
 and provoked the LORD to anger.
   Judges|2:13  And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
   Judges|2:14  And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he

 delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold
 them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not
 any longer stand before their enemies.
   Judges|2:15  Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was
 against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto
 them: and they were greatly distressed.
   Judges|2:16  Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them
 out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
   Judges|2:17  And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they
 went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they
 turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the
 commandments of the LORD; [but] they did not so.
   Judges|2:18  And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was
 with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the
 days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by
 reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
   Judges|2:19  And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, [that] they
 returned, and corrupted [themselves] more than their fathers, in following
 other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from
 their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
   Judges|2:20  And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he

 said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I
 commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
   Judges|2:21  I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of
 the nations which Joshua left when he died:
   Judges|2:22  That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep
 the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep [it], or
 not.
   Judges|2:23  Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them
 out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
   Judges|3:1  Now these [are] the nations which the LORD left, to prove
 Israel by them, [even] as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of
 Canaan;
   Judges|3:2  Only that the generations of the children of Israel might
 know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
   Judges|3:3  [Namely], five lords of the Philistines, and all the
 Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon,
 from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
   Judges|3:4  And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they
 would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their
 fathers by the hand of Moses.
   Judges|3:5  And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites,

 Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
   Judges|3:6  And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave
 their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
   Judges|3:7  And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD,
 and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
   Judges|3:8  Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and
 he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and
 the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
   Judges|3:9  And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD
 raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, [even]
 Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
   Judges|3:10  And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged
 Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king
 of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against
 Chushanrishathaim.
   Judges|3:11  And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of
 Kenaz died.
   Judges|3:12  And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of
 the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel,
 because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
   Judges|3:13  And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek,

 and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
   Judges|3:14  So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab
 eighteen years.
   Judges|3:15  But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the
 LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man
 lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the
 king of Moab.
   Judges|3:16  But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit
 length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
   Judges|3:17  And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and
 Eglon [was] a very fat man.
   Judges|3:18  And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent
 away the people that bare the present.
   Judges|3:19  But he himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by
 Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep
 silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
   Judges|3:20  And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer
 parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message
 from God unto thee. And he arose out of [his] seat.
   Judges|3:21  And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from
 his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

   Judges|3:22  And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat
 closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his
 belly; and the dirt came out.
   Judges|3:23  Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors
 of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
   Judges|3:24  When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw
 that, behold, the doors of the parlour [were] locked, they said, Surely he
 covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
   Judges|3:25  And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he
 opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened
 [them]: and, behold, their lord [was] fallen down dead on the earth.
   Judges|3:26  And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the
 quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
   Judges|3:27  And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a
 trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down
 with him from the mount, and he before them.
   Judges|3:28  And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath
 delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down
 after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man
 to pass over.
   Judges|3:29  And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men,

 all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
   Judges|3:30  So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And
 the land had rest fourscore years.
   Judges|3:31  And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of
 the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered
 Israel.
   Judges|4:1  And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the
 LORD, when Ehud was dead.
   Judges|4:2  And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan,
 that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host [was] Sisera, which dwelt
 in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
   Judges|4:3  And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had
 nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the
 children of Israel.
   Judges|4:4  And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged
 Israel at that time.
   Judges|4:5  And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah
 and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for
 judgment.
   Judges|4:6  And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of
 Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel

 commanded, [saying], Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten
 thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
   Judges|4:7  And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the
 captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will
 deliver him into thine hand.
   Judges|4:8  And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will
 go: but if thou wilt not go with me, [then] I will not go.
   Judges|4:9  And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the
 journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall
 sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with
 Barak to Kedesh.
   Judges|4:10  And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went
 up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
   Judges|4:11  Now Heber the Kenite, [which was] of the children of Hobab
 the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and
 pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh.
   Judges|4:12  And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was
 gone up to mount Tabor.
   Judges|4:13  And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, [even] nine
 hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that [were] with him, from
 Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.

   Judges|4:14  And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this [is] the day in
 which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone
 out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men
 after him.
   Judges|4:15  And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all [his] chariots, and
 all [his] host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera
 lighted down off [his] chariot, and fled away on his feet.
   Judges|4:16  But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host,
 unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the
 edge of the sword; [and] there was not a man left.
   Judges|4:17  Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the
 wife of Heber the Kenite: for [there was] peace between Jabin the king of
 Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
   Judges|4:18  And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn
 in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her
 into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
   Judges|4:19  And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water
 to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him
 drink, and covered him.
   Judges|4:20  Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and
 it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there

 any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
   Judges|4:21  Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an
 hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his
 temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary.
 So he died.
   Judges|4:22  And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet
 him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou
 seekest. And when he came into her [tent], behold, Sisera lay dead, and the
 nail [was] in his temples.
   Judges|4:23  So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before
 the children of Israel.
   Judges|4:24  And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and
 prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin
 king of Canaan.
   Judges|5:1  Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day,
 saying,
   Judges|5:2  Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the
 people willingly offered themselves.
   Judges|5:3  Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will
 sing unto the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD God of Israel.
   Judges|5:4  LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out

 of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the
 clouds also dropped water.
   Judges|5:5  The mountains melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai
 from before the LORD God of Israel.
   Judges|5:6  In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael,
 the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
   Judges|5:7  [The inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in
 Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
   Judges|5:8  They chose new gods; then [was] war in the gates: was there a
 shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
   Judges|5:9  My heart [is] toward the governors of Israel, that offered
 themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
   Judges|5:10  Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment,
 and walk by the way.
   Judges|5:11  [They that are delivered] from the noise of archers in the
 places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of
 the LORD, [even] the righteous acts [toward the inhabitants] of his
 villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
   Judges|5:12  Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise,
 Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
   Judges|5:13  Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the

 nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
   Judges|5:14  Out of Ephraim [was there] a root of them against Amalek;
 after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors,
 and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
   Judges|5:15  And the princes of Issachar [were] with Deborah; even
 Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the
 divisions of Reuben [there were] great thoughts of heart.
   Judges|5:16  Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings
 of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great searchings of
 heart.
   Judges|5:17  Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships?
 Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
   Judges|5:18  Zebulun and Naphtali [were] a people [that] jeoparded their
 lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
   Judges|5:19  The kings came [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan
 in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
   Judges|5:20  They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought
 against Sisera.
   Judges|5:21  The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the
 river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
   Judges|5:22  Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the

 prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
   Judges|5:23  Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye
 bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the
 LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
   Judges|5:24  Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite
 be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
   Judges|5:25  He asked water, [and] she gave [him] milk; she brought forth
 butter in a lordly dish.
   Judges|5:26  She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the
 workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his
 head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
   Judges|5:27  At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he
 bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
   Judges|5:28  The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried
 through the lattice, Why is his chariot [so] long in coming? why tarry the
 wheels of his chariots?
   Judges|5:29  Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to
 herself,
   Judges|5:30  Have they not sped? have they [not] divided the prey; to
 every man a damsel [or] two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of
 divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both

 sides, [meet] for the necks of [them that take] the spoil?
   Judges|5:31  So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but [let] them that
 love him [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had
 rest forty years.
   Judges|6:1  And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD:
 and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
   Judges|6:2  And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: [and]
 because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which
 [are] in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
   Judges|6:3  And [so] it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites
 came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came
 up against them;
   Judges|6:4  And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of
 the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel,
 neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
   Judges|6:5  For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they
 came as grasshoppers for multitude; [for] both they and their camels were
 without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
   Judges|6:6  And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the
 Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
   Judges|6:7  And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto

 the LORD because of the Midianites,
   Judges|6:8  That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel,
 which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up
 from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
   Judges|6:9  And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out
 of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you,
 and gave you their land;
   Judges|6:10  And I said unto you, I [am] the LORD your God; fear not the
 gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my
 voice.
   Judges|6:11  And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak
 which [was] in Ophrah, that [pertained] unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his
 son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide [it] from the
 Midianites.
   Judges|6:12  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto
 him, The LORD [is] with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
   Judges|6:13  And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with
 us, why then is all this befallen us? and where [be] all his miracles which
 our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?
 but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the
 Midianites.

   Judges|6:14  And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy
 might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not
 I sent thee?
   Judges|6:15  And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save
 Israel? behold, my family [is] poor in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in my
 father's house.
   Judges|6:16  And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and
 thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
   Judges|6:17  And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy
 sight, then show me a sign that thou talkest with me.
   Judges|6:18  Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and
 bring forth my present, and set [it] before thee. And he said, I will tarry
 until thou come again.
   Judges|6:19  And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened
 cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the
 broth in a pot, and brought [it] out unto him under the oak, and presented
 [it].
   Judges|6:20  And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the
 unleavened cakes, and lay [them] upon this rock, and pour out the broth.
 And he did so.
   Judges|6:21  Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff

 that [was] in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and
 there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the
 unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.
   Judges|6:22  And when Gideon perceived that he [was] an angel of the
 LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of
 the LORD face to face.
   Judges|6:23  And the LORD said unto him, Peace [be] unto thee; fear not:
 thou shalt not die.
   Judges|6:24  Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called
 it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
   Judges|6:25  And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto
 him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven
 years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut
 down the grove that [is] by it:
   Judges|6:26  And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of
 this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a
 burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
   Judges|6:27  Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the
 LORD had said unto him: and [so] it was, because he feared his father's
 household, and the men of the city, that he could not do [it] by day, that
 he did [it] by night.

   Judges|6:28  And when the men of the city arose early in the morning,
 behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that
 [was] by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar [that was]
 built.
   Judges|6:29  And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And
 when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done
 this thing.
   Judges|6:30  Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son,
 that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because
 he hath cut down the grove that [was] by it.
   Judges|6:31  And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye
 plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be
 put to death whilst [it is yet] morning: if he [be] a god, let him plead
 for himself, because [one] hath cast down his altar.
   Judges|6:32  Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let
 Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
   Judges|6:33  Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children
 of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the
 valley of Jezreel.
   Judges|6:34  But the spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a
 trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.

   Judges|6:35  And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was
 gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun,
 and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
   Judges|6:36  And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine
 hand, as thou hast said,
   Judges|6:37  Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; [and] if
 the dew be on the fleece only, and [it be] dry upon all the earth [beside],
 then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast
 said.
   Judges|6:38  And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and
 thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl
 full of water.
   Judges|6:39  And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against
 me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this
 once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all
 the ground let there be dew.
   Judges|6:40  And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece
 only, and there was dew on all the ground.
   Judges|7:1  Then Jerubbaal, who [is] Gideon, and all the people that
 [were] with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so
 that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill

 of Moreh, in the valley.
   Judges|7:2  And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that [are] with
 thee [are] too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest
 Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
   Judges|7:3  Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people,
 saying, Whosoever [is] fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early
 from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two
 thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
   Judges|7:4  And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people [are] yet [too]
 many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there:
 and it shall be, [that] of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee,
 the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall
 not go with thee, the same shall not go.
   Judges|7:5  So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD
 said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a
 dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth
 down upon his knees to drink.
   Judges|7:6  And the number of them that lapped, [putting] their hand to
 their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed
 down upon their knees to drink water.
   Judges|7:7  And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that

 lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let
 all the [other] people go every man unto his place.
   Judges|7:8  So the people took victuals in their hand, and their
 trumpets: and he sent all [the rest of] Israel every man unto his tent, and
 retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in
 the valley.
   Judges|7:9  And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto
 him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine
 hand.
   Judges|7:10  But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant
 down to the host:
   Judges|7:11  And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine
 hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with
 Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that [were] in the
 host.
   Judges|7:12  And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children
 of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and
 their camels [were] without number, as the sand by the sea side for
 multitude.
   Judges|7:13  And when Gideon was come, behold, [there was] a man that
 told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo,

 a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a
 tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay
 along.
   Judges|7:14  And his fellow answered and said, This [is] nothing else
 save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: [for] into his
 hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
   Judges|7:15  And it was [so], when Gideon heard the telling of the dream,
 and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the
 host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand
 the host of Midian.
   Judges|7:16  And he divided the three hundred men [into] three companies,
 and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps
 within the pitchers.
   Judges|7:17  And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and,
 behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be [that], as I
 do, so shall ye do.
   Judges|7:18  When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that [are] with me,
 then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, [The
 sword] of the LORD, and of Gideon.
   Judges|7:19  So Gideon, and the hundred men that [were] with him, came
 unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they

 had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the
 pitchers that [were] in their hands.
   Judges|7:20  And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the
 pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their
 right hands to blow [withal]: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of
 Gideon.
   Judges|7:21  And they stood every man in his place round about the camp:
 and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
   Judges|7:22  And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set
 every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the
 host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, [and] to the border of Abelmeholah,
 unto Tabbath.
   Judges|7:23  And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of
 Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the
 Midianites.
   Judges|7:24  And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim,
 saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters
 unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves
 together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
   Judges|7:25  And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb;
 and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress

 of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to
 Gideon on the other side Jordan.
   Judges|8:1  And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us
 thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the
 Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
   Judges|8:2  And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of
 you? [Is] not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage
 of Abiezer?
   Judges|8:3  God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian,
 Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their
 anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
   Judges|8:4  And Gideon came to Jordan, [and] passed over, he, and the
 three hundred men that [were] with him, faint, yet pursuing [them].
   Judges|8:5  And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves
 of bread unto the people that follow me; for they [be] faint, and I am
 pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
   Judges|8:6  And the princes of Succoth said, [Are] the hands of Zebah and
 Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?
   Judges|8:7  And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah
 and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of
 the wilderness and with briers.

   Judges|8:8  And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them
 likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had
 answered [him].
   Judges|8:9  And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come
 again in peace, I will break down this tower.
   Judges|8:10  Now Zebah and Zalmunna [were] in Karkor, and their hosts
 with them, about fifteen thousand [men], all that were left of all the
 hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty
 thousand men that drew sword.
   Judges|8:11  And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on
 the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was
 secure.
   Judges|8:12  And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and
 took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the
 host.
   Judges|8:13  And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the
 sun [was up],
   Judges|8:14  And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and inquired
 of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders
 thereof, [even] threescore and seventeen men.
   Judges|8:15  And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah

 and Zalmunna with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, [Are] the hands of Zebah
 and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men
 [that are] weary?
   Judges|8:16  And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the
 wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
   Judges|8:17  And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of
 the city.
   Judges|8:18  Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men
 [were they] whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou [art], so
 [were] they; each one resembled the children of a king.
   Judges|8:19  And he said, They [were] my brethren, [even] the sons of my
 mother: [as] the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay
 you.
   Judges|8:20  And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, [and] slay them.
 But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he [was] yet a
 youth.
   Judges|8:21  Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us:
 for as the man [is, so is] his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah
 and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that [were] on their camels'
 necks.
   Judges|8:22  Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us,

 both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us
 from the hand of Midian.
   Judges|8:23  And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither
 shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
   Judges|8:24  And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you,
 that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had
 golden earrings, because they [were] Ishmaelites.)
   Judges|8:25  And they answered, We will willingly give [them]. And they
 spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
   Judges|8:26  And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was
 a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold; beside ornaments, and
 collars, and purple raiment that [was] on the kings of Midian, and beside
 the chains that [were] about their camels' necks.
   Judges|8:27  And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city,
 [even] in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which
 thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
   Judges|8:28  Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so
 that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness
 forty years in the days of Gideon.
   Judges|8:29  And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own
 house.

   Judges|8:30  And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten:
 for he had many wives.
   Judges|8:31  And his concubine that [was] in Shechem, she also bare him a
 son, whose name he called Abimelech.
   Judges|8:32  And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was
 buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
   Judges|8:33  And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the
 children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made
 Baalberith their god.
   Judges|8:34  And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their
 God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every
 side:
   Judges|8:35  Neither showed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal,
 [namely], Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had showed unto
 Israel.
   Judges|9:1  And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his
 mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the
 house of his mother's father, saying,
   Judges|9:2  Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem,
 Whether [is] better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, [which
 are] threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over

 you? remember also that I [am] your bone and your flesh.
   Judges|9:3  And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the
 men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow
 Abimelech; for they said, He [is] our brother.
   Judges|9:4  And they gave him threescore and ten [pieces] of silver out
 of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light
 persons, which followed him.
   Judges|9:5  And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his
 brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, [being] threescore and ten persons, upon
 one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was
 left; for he hid himself.
   Judges|9:6  And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the
 house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the
 pillar that [was] in Shechem.
   Judges|9:7  And when they told [it] to Jotham, he went and stood in the
 top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto
 them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
   Judges|9:8  The trees went forth [on a time] to anoint a king over them;
 and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
   Judges|9:9  But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness,
 wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the

 trees?
   Judges|9:10  And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, [and] reign
 over us.
   Judges|9:11  But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my
 sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
   Judges|9:12  Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, [and] reign
 over us.
   Judges|9:13  And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which
 cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
   Judges|9:14  Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, [and]
 reign over us.
   Judges|9:15  And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint
 me king over you, [then] come [and] put your trust in my shadow: and if
 not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
   Judges|9:16  Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that
 ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and
 his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
   Judges|9:17  (For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far,
 and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:
   Judges|9:18  And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and
 have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have

 made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem,
 because he [is] your brother;)
   Judges|9:19  If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and
 with his house this day, [then] rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also
 rejoice in you:
   Judges|9:20  But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the
 men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men
 of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
   Judges|9:21  And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt
 there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
   Judges|9:22  When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
   Judges|9:23  Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men
 of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
   Judges|9:24  That the cruelty [done] to the threescore and ten sons of
 Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother,
 which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the
 killing of his brethren.
   Judges|9:25  And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top
 of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and
 it was told Abimelech.
   Judges|9:26  And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went

 over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
   Judges|9:27  And they went out into the fields, and gathered their
 vineyards, and trode [the grapes], and made merry, and went into the house
 of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
   Judges|9:28  And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who [is] Abimelech, and who
 [is] Shechem, that we should serve him? [is] not [he] the son of Jerubbaal?
 and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for
 why should we serve him?
   Judges|9:29  And would to God this people were under my hand! then would
 I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come
 out.
   Judges|9:30  And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal
 the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
   Judges|9:31  And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying,
 Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and,
 behold, they fortify the city against thee.
   Judges|9:32  Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that [is]
 with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
   Judges|9:33  And it shall be, [that] in the morning, as soon as the sun
 is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, [when] he
 and the people that [is] with him come out against thee, then mayest thou

 do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
   Judges|9:34  And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that [were] with
 him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
   Judges|9:35  And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering
 of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that [were]
 with him, from lying in wait.
   Judges|9:36  And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold,
 there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto
 him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as [if they were] men.
   Judges|9:37  And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by
 the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of
 Meonenim.
   Judges|9:38  Then said Zebul unto him, Where [is] now thy mouth,
 wherewith thou saidst, Who [is] Abimelech, that we should serve him? [is]
 not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight
 with them.
   Judges|9:39  And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with
 Abimelech.
   Judges|9:40  And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many
 were overthrown [and] wounded, [even] unto the entering of the gate.
   Judges|9:41  And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and

 his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
   Judges|9:42  And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out
 into the field; and they told Abimelech.
   Judges|9:43  And he took the people, and divided them into three
 companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people
 [were] come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote
 them.
   Judges|9:44  And Abimelech, and the company that [was] with him, rushed
 forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two
 [other] companies ran upon all [the people] that [were] in the fields, and
 slew them.
   Judges|9:45  And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he
 took the city, and slew the people that [was] therein, and beat down the
 city, and sowed it with salt.
   Judges|9:46  And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard [that],
 they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
   Judges|9:47  And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of
 Shechem were gathered together.
   Judges|9:48  And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the
 people that [were] with him; and Abimelech took an ax in his hand, and cut
 down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid [it] on his shoulder,

 and said unto the people that [were] with him, What ye have seen me do,
 make haste, [and] do as I [have done].
   Judges|9:49  And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough,
 and followed Abimelech, and put [them] to the hold, and set the hold on
 fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also,
 about a thousand men and women.
   Judges|9:50  Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez,
 and took it.
   Judges|9:51  But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither
 fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut [it] to
 them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.
   Judges|9:52  And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it,
 and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
   Judges|9:53  And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon
 Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.
   Judges|9:54  Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer,
 and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A
 woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
   Judges|9:55  And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they
 departed every man unto his place.
   Judges|9:56  Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did

 unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
   Judges|9:57  And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon
 their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
   Judges|10:1  And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the
 son of Puah the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he dwelt in Shamir in
 mount Ephraim.
   Judges|10:2  And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and
 was buried in Shamir.
   Judges|10:3  And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel
 twenty and two years.
   Judges|10:4  And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and
 they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which
 [are] in the land of Gilead.
   Judges|10:5  And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
   Judges|10:6  And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of
 the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the
 gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon,
 and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
   Judges|10:7  And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he
 sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the
 children of Ammon.

   Judges|10:8  And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of
 Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that [were] on the other
 side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which [is] in Gilead.
   Judges|10:9  Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight
 also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim;
 so that Israel was sore distressed.
   Judges|10:10  And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We
 have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also
 served Baalim.
   Judges|10:11  And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did] not [I
 deliver you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children
 of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
   Judges|10:12  The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites,
 did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
   Judges|10:13  Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I
 will deliver you no more.
   Judges|10:14  Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them
 deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
   Judges|10:15  And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have
 sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only,
 we pray thee, this day.

   Judges|10:16  And they put away the strange gods from among them, and
 served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
   Judges|10:17  Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and
 encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves
 together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
   Judges|10:18  And the people [and] princes of Gilead said one to another,
 What man [is he] that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he
 shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
   Judges|11:1  Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and
 he [was] the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
   Judges|11:2  And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew
 up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit
 in our father's house; for thou [art] the son of a strange woman.
   Judges|11:3  Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land
 of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with
 him.
   Judges|11:4  And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of
 Ammon made war against Israel.
   Judges|11:5  And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war
 against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land
 of Tob:

   Judges|11:6  And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that
 we may fight with the children of Ammon.
   Judges|11:7  And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate
 me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now
 when ye are in distress?
   Judges|11:8  And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we
 turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the
 children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
   Judges|11:9  And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me
 home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver
 them before me, shall I be your head?
   Judges|11:10  And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be
 witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
   Judges|11:11  Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the
 people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his
 words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
   Judges|11:12  And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children
 of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against
 me to fight in my land?
   Judges|11:13  And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the
 messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up

 out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore
 restore those [lands] again peaceably.
   Judges|11:14  And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the
 children of Ammon:
   Judges|11:15  And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not
 away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
   Judges|11:16  But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the
 wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
   Judges|11:17  Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying,
 Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not
 hearken [thereto]. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but
 he would not [consent]: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
   Judges|11:18  Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed
 the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the
 land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within
 the border of Moab: for Arnon [was] the border of Moab.
   Judges|11:19  And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites,
 the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee,
 through thy land into my place.
   Judges|11:20  But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but
 Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought

 against Israel.
   Judges|11:21  And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his
 people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed
 all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
   Judges|11:22  And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from
 Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
   Judges|11:23  So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the
 Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
   Judges|11:24  Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth
 thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before
 us, them will we possess.
   Judges|11:25  And now [art] thou any thing better than Balak the son of
 Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever
 fight against them,
   Judges|11:26  While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer
 and her towns, and in all the cities that [be] along by the coasts of
 Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover [them] within
 that time?
   Judges|11:27  Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me
 wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the
 children of Israel and the children of Ammon.

   Judges|11:28  Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not
 unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
   Judges|11:29  Then the spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he
 passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and
 from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [unto] the children of Ammon.
   Judges|11:30  And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou
 shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
   Judges|11:31  Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors
 of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon,
 shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
   Judges|11:32  So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight
 against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
   Judges|11:33  And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to
 Minnith, [even] twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a
 very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the
 children of Israel.
   Judges|11:34  And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold,
 his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she
 [was his] only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
   Judges|11:35  And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his
 clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and

 thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the
 LORD, and I cannot go back.
   Judges|11:36  And she said unto him, My father, [if] thou hast opened thy
 mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of
 thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine
 enemies, [even] of the children of Ammon.
   Judges|11:37  And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for
 me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains,
 and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
   Judges|11:38  And he said, Go. And he sent her away [for] two months: and
 she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the
 mountains.
   Judges|11:39  And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she
 returned unto her father, who did with her [according] to his vow which he
 had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
   Judges|11:40  [That] the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the
 daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
   Judges|12:1  And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and
 went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to
 fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee?
 we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.

   Judges|12:2  And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great
 strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me
 not out of their hands.
   Judges|12:3  And when I saw that ye delivered [me] not, I put my life in
 my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD
 delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this
 t against me?
   Judges|12:4  Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and
 fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they
 said, Ye Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, [and]
 among the Manassites.
   Judges|12:5  And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the
 Ephraimites: and it was [so] that when those Ephraimites which were escaped
 said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, [Art] thou an
 Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
   Judges|12:6  Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said
 Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce [it] right. Then they took
 him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of
 the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
   Judges|12:7  And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the
 Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.

   Judges|12:8  And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
   Judges|12:9  And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, [whom] he sent
 abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he
 judged Israel seven years.
   Judges|12:10  Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
   Judges|12:11  And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he
 judged Israel ten years.
   Judges|12:12  And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in
 the country of Zebulun.
   Judges|12:13  And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite,
 judged Israel.
   Judges|12:14  And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on
 threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
   Judges|12:15  And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was
 buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
   Judges|13:1  And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of
 the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines
 forty years.
   Judges|13:2  And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the
 Danites, whose name [was] Manoah; and his wife [was] barren, and bare not.
   Judges|13:3  And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said

 unto her, Behold now, thou [art] barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt
 conceive, and bear a son.
   Judges|13:4  Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor
 strong drink, and eat not any unclean [thing]:
   Judges|13:5  For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor
 shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the
 womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the
 Philistines.
   Judges|13:6  Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of
 God came unto me, and his countenance [was] like the countenance of an
 angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he [was], neither
 told he me his name:
   Judges|13:7  But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a
 son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean
 [thing]: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day
 of his death.
   Judges|13:8  Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the
 man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we
 shall do unto the child that shall be born.
   Judges|13:9  And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of
 God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her

 husband [was] not with her.
   Judges|13:10  And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her husband,
 and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me
 the [other] day.
   Judges|13:11  And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the
 man, and said unto him, [Art] thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And
 he said, I [am].
   Judges|13:12  And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall
 we order the child, and [how] shall we do unto him?
   Judges|13:13  And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I
 said unto the woman let her beware.
   Judges|13:14  She may not eat of any [thing] that cometh of the vine,
 neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean [thing]:
 all that I commanded her let her observe.
   Judges|13:15  And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee,
 let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
   Judges|13:16  And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou
 detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt
 offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he
 [was] an angel of the LORD.
   Judges|13:17  And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What [is] thy

 name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
   Judges|13:18  And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou
 thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret?
   Judges|13:19  So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered [it]
 upon a rock unto the LORD: and [the angel] did wonderously; and Manoah and
 his wife looked on.
   Judges|13:20  For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven
 from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the
 altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on [it], and fell on their faces to
 the ground.
   Judges|13:21  But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and
 to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he [was] an angel of the LORD.
   Judges|13:22  And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because
 we have seen God.
   Judges|13:23  But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to
 kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at
 our hands, neither would he have showed us all these [things], nor would as
 at this time have told us [such things] as these.
   Judges|13:24  And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and
 the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
   Judges|13:25  And the spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in

 the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
   Judges|14:1  And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath
 of the daughters of the Philistines.
   Judges|14:2  And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and
 said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines:
 now therefore get her for me to wife.
   Judges|14:3  Then his father and his mother said unto him, [Is there]
 never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people,
 that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson
 said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
   Judges|14:4  But his father and his mother knew not that it [was] of the
 LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time
 the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
   Judges|14:5  Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to
 Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion
 roared against him.
   Judges|14:6  And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he
 rent him as he would have rent a kid, and [he had] nothing in his hand: but
 he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
   Judges|14:7  And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased
 Samson well.

   Judges|14:8  And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned
 aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, [there was] a swarm of
 bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
   Judges|14:9  And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and
 came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he
 told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
   Judges|14:10  So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made
 there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
   Judges|14:11  And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought
 thirty companions to be with him.
   Judges|14:12  And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle
 unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the
 feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty
 change of garments:
   Judges|14:13  But if ye cannot declare [it] me, then shall ye give me
 thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put
 forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
   Judges|14:14  And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat,
 and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three
 days expound the riddle.
   Judges|14:15  And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto

 Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle,
 lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to
 take that we have? [is it] not [so]?
   Judges|14:16  And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but
 hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children
 of my people, and hast not told [it] me. And he said unto her, Behold, I
 have not told [it] my father nor my mother, and shall I tell [it] thee?
   Judges|14:17  And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast
 lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because
 she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her
 people.
   Judges|14:18  And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day
 before the sun went down, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is]
 stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my
 heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
   Judges|14:19  And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down
 to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave
 change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was
 kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
   Judges|14:20  But Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had
 used as his friend.

   Judges|15:1  But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of
 wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will
 go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to
 go in.
   Judges|15:2  And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst
 utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: [is] not her
 younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
   Judges|15:3  And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more
 blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
   Judges|15:4  And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took
 firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst
 between two tails.
   Judges|15:5  And when he had set the brands on fire, he let [them] go
 into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks,
 and also the standing corn, with the vineyards [and] olives.
   Judges|15:6  Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they
 answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his
 wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and
 burnt her and her father with fire.
   Judges|15:7  And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet
 will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.

   Judges|15:8  And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and
 he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
   Judges|15:9  Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and
 spread themselves in Lehi.
   Judges|15:10  And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us?
 And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath
 done to us.
   Judges|15:11  Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the
 rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines [are]
 rulers over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done unto us? And he said
 unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
   Judges|15:12  And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that
 we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto
 them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
   Judges|15:13  And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee
 fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee.
 And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
   Judges|15:14  [And] when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted
 against him: and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the
 cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire,
 and his bands loosed from off his hands.

   Judges|15:15  And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his
 hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
   Judges|15:16  And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon
 heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
   Judges|15:17  And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking,
 that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place
 Ramathlehi.
   Judges|15:18  And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said,
 Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and
 now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
   Judges|15:19  But God clave an hollow place that [was] in the jaw, and
 there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again,
 and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which [is]
 in Lehi unto this day.
   Judges|15:20  And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty
 years.
   Judges|16:1  Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went
 in unto her.
   Judges|16:2  [And it was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come
 hither. And they compassed [him] in, and laid wait for him all night in the
 gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning,

 when it is day, we shall kill him.
   Judges|16:3  And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and
 took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away
 with them, bar and all, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them
 up to the top of an hill that [is] before Hebron.
   Judges|16:4  And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the
 valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah.
   Judges|16:5  And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said
 unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength [lieth], and by
 what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict
 him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred [pieces] of
 silver.
   Judges|16:6  And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein
 thy great strength [lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict
 thee.
   Judges|16:7  And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green
 withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
   Judges|16:8  Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven
 green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
   Judges|16:9  Now [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the
 chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And

 he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire.
 So his strength was not known.
   Judges|16:10  And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me,
 and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be
 bound.
   Judges|16:11  And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes
 that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
   Judges|16:12  Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith,
 and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And [there were]
 liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms
 like a thread.
   Judges|16:13  And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me,
 and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said
 unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
   Judges|16:14  And she fastened [it] with the pin, and said unto him, The
 Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and
 went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
   Judges|16:15  And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee,
 when thine heart [is] not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times,
 and hast not told me wherein thy great strength [lieth].
   Judges|16:16  And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her

 words, and urged him, [so] that his soul was vexed unto death;
   Judges|16:17  That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There
 hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I [have been] a Nazarite unto God
 from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me,
 and I shall become weak, and be like any [other] man.
   Judges|16:18  And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart,
 she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this
 once, for he hath showed me all his heart. Then the lords of the
 Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
   Judges|16:19  And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a
 man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she
 began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
   Judges|16:20  And she said, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And
 he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times
 before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from
 him.
   Judges|16:21  But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and
 brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did
 grind in the prison house.
   Judges|16:22  Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he
 was shaven.

   Judges|16:23  Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together
 for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for
 they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
   Judges|16:24  And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for
 they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the
 destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
   Judges|16:25  And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that
 they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for
 Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him
 between the pillars.
   Judges|16:26  And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand,
 Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I
 may lean upon them.
   Judges|16:27  Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords
 of the Philistines [were] there; and [there were] upon the roof about three
 thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
   Judges|16:28  And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD,
 remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O
 God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
   Judges|16:29  And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which
 the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right

 hand, and of the other with his left.
   Judges|16:30  And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he
 bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and
 upon all the people that [were] therein. So the dead which he slew at his
 death were more than [they] which he slew in his life.
   Judges|16:31  Then his brethren and all the house of his father came
 down, and took him, and brought [him] up, and buried him between Zorah and
 Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel
 twenty years.
   Judges|17:1  And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name [was]
 Micah.
   Judges|17:2  And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred [shekels] of
 silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of
 also in mine ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it. And his
 mother said, Blessed [be thou] of the LORD, my son.
   Judges|17:3  And when he had restored the eleven hundred [shekels] of
 silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver
 unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten
 image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
   Judges|17:4  Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother
 took two hundred [shekels] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who

 made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house
 of Micah.
   Judges|17:5  And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod,
 and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
   Judges|17:6  In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every man
 did [that which was] right in his own eyes.
   Judges|17:7  And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the
 family of Judah, who [was] a Levite, and he sojourned there.
   Judges|17:8  And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to
 sojourn where he could find [a place]: and he came to mount Ephraim to the
 house of Micah, as he journeyed.
   Judges|17:9  And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said
 unto him, I [am] a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I
 may find [a place].
   Judges|17:10  And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a
 father and a priest, and I will give thee ten [shekels] of silver by the
 year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
   Judges|17:11  And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the
 young man was unto him as one of his sons.
   Judges|17:12  And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became
 his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

   Judges|17:13  Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good,
 seeing I have a Levite to [my] priest.
   Judges|18:1  In those days [there was] no king in Israel: and in those
 days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for
 unto that day [all their] inheritance had not fallen unto them among the
 tribes of Israel.
   Judges|18:2  And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from
 their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the
 land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who
 when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
   Judges|18:3  When they [were] by the house of Micah, they knew the voice
 of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him,
 Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this [place]? and what
 hast thou here?
   Judges|18:4  And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me,
 and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
   Judges|18:5  And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God,
 that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
   Judges|18:6  And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD
 [is] your way wherein ye go.
   Judges|18:7  Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the

 people that [were] therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of
 the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and [there was] no magistrate in the land,
 that might put [them] to shame in [any] thing; and they [were] far from the
 Zidonians, and had no business with [any] man.
   Judges|18:8  And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and
 their brethren said unto them, What [say] ye?
   Judges|18:9  And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we
 have seen the land, and, behold, it [is] very good: and [are] ye still? be
 not slothful to go, [and] to enter to possess the land.
   Judges|18:10  When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a
 large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where [there is]
 no want of any thing that [is] in the earth.
   Judges|18:11  And there went from thence of the family of the Danites,
 out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of
 war.
   Judges|18:12  And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah:
 wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, [it is]
 behind Kirjathjearim.
   Judges|18:13  And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto
 the house of Micah.
   Judges|18:14  Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country

 of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these
 houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now
 therefore consider what ye have to do.
   Judges|18:15  And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the
 young man the Levite, [even] unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
   Judges|18:16  And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of
 war, which [were] of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the
 gate.
   Judges|18:17  And the five men that went to spy out the land went up,
 [and] came in thither, [and] took the graven image, and the ephod, and the
 teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the
 gate with the six hundred men [that were] appointed with weapons of war.
   Judges|18:18  And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved
 image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the
 priest unto them, What do ye?
   Judges|18:19  And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon
 thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: [is it]
 better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a
 priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
   Judges|18:20  And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and
 the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.

   Judges|18:21  So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and
 the cattle and the carriage before them.
   Judges|18:22  [And] when they were a good way from the house of Micah,
 the men that [were] in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered
 together, and overtook the children of Dan.
   Judges|18:23  And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned
 their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with
 such a company?
   Judges|18:24  And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and
 the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what [is] this
 [that] ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
   Judges|18:25  And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be
 heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life,
 with the lives of thy household.
   Judges|18:26  And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw
 that they [were] too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his
 house.
   Judges|18:27  And they took [the things] which Micah had made, and the
 priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people [that were] at
 quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt
 the city with fire.

   Judges|18:28  And [there was] no deliverer, because it [was] far from
 Zidon, and they had no business with [any] man; and it was in the valley
 that [lieth] by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
   Judges|18:29  And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of
 Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city
 [was] Laish at the first.
   Judges|18:30  And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and
 Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were
 priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
   Judges|18:31  And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made,
 all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
   Judges|19:1  And it came to pass in those days, when [there was] no king
 in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount
 Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah.
   Judges|19:2  And his concubine played the whore against him, and went
 away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four
 whole months.
   Judges|19:3  And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly
 unto her, [and] to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a
 couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the
 father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.

   Judges|19:4  And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him;
 and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged
 there.
   Judges|19:5  And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early
 in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father said
 unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and
 afterward go your way.
   Judges|19:6  And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them
 together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray
 thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
   Judges|19:7  And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged
 him: therefore he lodged there again.
   Judges|19:8  And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to
 depart: and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And
 they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
   Judges|19:9  And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine,
 and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him,
 Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night:
 behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be
 merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
   Judges|19:10  But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and

 departed, and came over against Jebus, which [is] Jerusalem; and [there
 were] with him two asses saddled, his concubine also [was] with him.
   Judges|19:11  [And] when they [were] by Jebus, the day was far spent; and
 the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in
 into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
   Judges|19:12  And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither
 into the city of a stranger, that [is] not of the children of Israel; we
 will pass over to Gibeah.
   Judges|19:13  And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to
 one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
   Judges|19:14  And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went
 down upon them [when they were] by Gibeah, which [belongeth] to Benjamin.
   Judges|19:15  And they turned aside thither, to go in [and] to lodge in
 Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for
 [there was] no man that took them into his house to lodging.
   Judges|19:16  And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the
 field at even, which [was] also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in
 Gibeah: but the men of the place [were] Benjamites.
   Judges|19:17  And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man
 in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and
 whence comest thou?

   Judges|19:18  And he said unto him, We [are] passing from Bethlehemjudah
 toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence [am] I: and I went to
 Bethlehemjudah, but I [am now] going to the house of the LORD; and there
 [is] no man that receiveth me to house.
   Judges|19:19  Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and
 there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the
 young man [which is] with thy servants: [there is] no want of any thing.
   Judges|19:20  And the old man said, Peace [be] with thee; howsoever [let]
 all thy wants [lie] upon me; only lodge not in the street.
   Judges|19:21  So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto
 the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
   Judges|19:22  [Now] as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the
 men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, [and]
 beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man,
 saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know
 him.
   Judges|19:23  And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them,
 and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, [nay], I pray you, do not [so]
 wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
   Judges|19:24  Behold, [here is] my daughter a maiden, and his concubine;
 them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what

 seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
   Judges|19:25  But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his
 concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused
 her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they
 let her go.
   Judges|19:26  Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell
 down at the door of the man's house where her lord [was], till it was
 light.
   Judges|19:27  And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors
 of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his
 concubine was fallen down [at] the door of the house, and her hands [were]
 upon the threshold.
   Judges|19:28  And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none
 answered. Then the man took her [up] upon an ass, and the man rose up, and
 gat him unto his place.
   Judges|19:29  And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and
 laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, [together] with her bones,
 into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
   Judges|19:30  And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such
 deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of
 the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak

 [your minds].
   Judges|20:1  Then all the children of Israel went out, and the
 congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba,
 with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
   Judges|20:2  And the chief of all the people, [even] of all the tribes of
 Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four
 hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
   Judges|20:3  (Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of
 Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell
 [us], how was this wickedness?
   Judges|20:4  And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain,
 answered and said, I came into Gibeah that [belongeth] to Benjamin, I and
 my concubine, to lodge.
   Judges|20:5  And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house
 round about upon me by night, [and] thought to have slain me: and my
 concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
   Judges|20:6  And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her
 throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have
 committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
   Judges|20:7  Behold, ye [are] all children of Israel; give here your
 advice and counsel.

   Judges|20:8  And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any
 [of us] go to his tent, neither will we any [of us] turn into his house.
   Judges|20:9  But now this [shall be] the thing which we will do to
 Gibeah; [we will go up] by lot against it;
   Judges|20:10  And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the
 tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten
 thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come
 to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in
 Israel.
   Judges|20:11  So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city,
 knit together as one man.
   Judges|20:12  And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of
 Benjamin, saying, What wickedness [is] this that is done among you?
   Judges|20:13  Now therefore deliver [us] the men, the children of Belial,
 which [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil
 from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of
 their brethren the children of Israel:
   Judges|20:14  But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together
 out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of
 Israel.
   Judges|20:15  And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out

 of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the
 inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
   Judges|20:16  Among all this people [there were] seven hundred chosen men
 lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair [breadth], and not
 miss.
   Judges|20:17  And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four
 hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these [were] men of war.
   Judges|20:18  And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house
 of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first
 to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah
 [shall go up] first.
   Judges|20:19  And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and
 encamped against Gibeah.
   Judges|20:20  And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin;
 and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at
 Gibeah.
   Judges|20:21  And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and
 destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two
 thousand men.
   Judges|20:22  And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and
 set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in

 array the first day.
   Judges|20:23  (And the children of Israel went up and wept before the
 LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again
 to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said,
 Go up against him.)
   Judges|20:24  And the children of Israel came near against the children
 of Benjamin the second day.
   Judges|20:25  And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the
 second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel
 again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
   Judges|20:26  Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went
 up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the
 LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace
 offerings before the LORD.
   Judges|20:27  And the children of Israel inquired of the LORD, (for the
 ark of the covenant of God [was] there in those days,
   Judges|20:28  And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood
 before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle
 against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD
 said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.
   Judges|20:29  And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.

   Judges|20:30  And the children of Israel went up against the children of
 Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as
 at other times.
   Judges|20:31  And the children of Benjamin went out against the people,
 [and] were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people,
 [and] kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to
 the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of
 Israel.
   Judges|20:32  And the children of Benjamin said, They [are] smitten down
 before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee,
 and draw them from the city unto the highways.
   Judges|20:33  And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and
 put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came
 forth out of their places, [even] out of the meadows of Gibeah.
   Judges|20:34  And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out
 of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil [was]
 near them.
   Judges|20:35  And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children
 of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and
 an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
   Judges|20:36  So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for

 the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto
 the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
   Judges|20:37  And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and
 the liers in wait drew [themselves] along, and smote all the city with the
 edge of the sword.
   Judges|20:38  Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel
 and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise
 up out of the city.
   Judges|20:39  And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin
 began to smite [and] kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for
 they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as [in] the first
 battle.
   Judges|20:40  But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a
 pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame
 of the city ascended up to heaven.
   Judges|20:41  And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of
 Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
   Judges|20:42  Therefore they turned [their backs] before the men of
 Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and
 them which [came] out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
   Judges|20:43  [Thus] they enclosed the Benjamites round about, [and]

 chased them, [and] trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the
 sunrising.
   Judges|20:44  And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these
 [were] men of valour.
   Judges|20:45  And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the
 rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men;
 and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
   Judges|20:46  So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and
 five thousand men that drew the sword; all these [were] men of valour.
   Judges|20:47  But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto
 the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.
   Judges|20:48  And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of
 Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of
 [every] city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on
 fire all the cities that they came to.
   Judges|21:1  Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There
 shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
   Judges|21:2  And the people came to the house of God, and abode there
 till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
   Judges|21:3  And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in
 Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?

   Judges|21:4  And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose
 early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace
 offerings.
   Judges|21:5  And the children of Israel said, Who [is there] among all
 the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD?
 For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD
 to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
   Judges|21:6  And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their
 brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
   Judges|21:7  How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we
 have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to
 wives?
   Judges|21:8  And they said, What one [is there] of the tribes of Israel
 that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the
 camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.
   Judges|21:9  For the people were numbered, and, behold, [there were] none
 of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
   Judges|21:10  And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of
 the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of
 Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
   Judges|21:11  And this [is] the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly

 destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
   Judges|21:12  And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four
 hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and
 they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which [is] in the land of
 Canaan.
   Judges|21:13  And the whole congregation sent [some] to speak to the
 children of Benjamin that [were] in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably
 unto them.
   Judges|21:14  And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them
 wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so
 they sufficed them not.
   Judges|21:15  And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the
 LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
   Judges|21:16  Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do
 for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of
 Benjamin?
   Judges|21:17  And they said, [There must be] an inheritance for them that
 be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
   Judges|21:18  Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for
 the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed [be] he that giveth a
 wife to Benjamin.

   Judges|21:19  Then they said, Behold, [there is] a feast of the LORD in
 Shiloh yearly [in a place] which [is] on the north side of Bethel, on the
 east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the
 south of Lebonah.
   Judges|21:20  Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying,
 Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
   Judges|21:21  And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out
 to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every
 man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
   Judges|21:22  And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come
 unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them
 for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for
 ye did not give unto them at this time, [that] ye should be guilty.
   Judges|21:23  And the children of Benjamin did so, and took [them] wives,
 according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they
 went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and
 dwelt in them.
   Judges|21:24  And the children of Israel departed thence at that time,
 every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence
 every man to his inheritance.
   Judges|21:25  In those days [there was] no king in Israel: every man did

 [that which was] right in his own eyes.
   Ruth|1:1  Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that
 there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to
 sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
   Ruth|1:2  And the name of the man [was] Elimelech, and the name of his
 wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of
 Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued
 there.
   Ruth|1:3  And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her
 two sons.
   Ruth|1:4  And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the
 one [was] Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there
 about ten years.
   Ruth|1:5  And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman
 was left of her two sons and her husband.
   Ruth|1:6  Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return
 from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that
 the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread.
   Ruth|1:7  Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and
 her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto
 the land of Judah.

   Ruth|1:8  And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each
 to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with
 the dead, and with me.
   Ruth|1:9  The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each [of you] in the
 house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice,
 and wept.
   Ruth|1:10  And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto
 thy people.
   Ruth|1:11  And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with
 me? [are] there yet [any more] sons in my womb, that they may be your
 husbands?
   Ruth|1:12  Turn again, my daughters, go [your way]; for I am too old to
 have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, [if] I should have an
 husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
   Ruth|1:13  Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay
 for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much
 for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.
   Ruth|1:14  And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah
 kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
   Ruth|1:15  And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her
 people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.

   Ruth|1:16  And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, [or] to return
 from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where
 thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people [shall be] my people, and thy God my
 God:
   Ruth|1:17  Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the
 LORD do so to me, and more also, [if ought] but death part thee and me.
   Ruth|1:18  When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her,
 then she left speaking unto her.
   Ruth|1:19  So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to
 pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about
 them, and they said, [Is] this Naomi?
   Ruth|1:20  And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for
 the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
   Ruth|1:21  I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again
 empty: why [then] call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against
 me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
   Ruth|1:22  So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in
 law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to
 Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
   Ruth|2:1  And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of
 wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name [was] Boaz.

   Ruth|2:2  And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the
 field, and glean ears of corn after [him] in whose sight I shall find
 grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
   Ruth|2:3  And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the
 reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field [belonging] unto
 Boaz, who [was] of the kindred of Elimelech.
   Ruth|2:4  And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the
 reapers, The LORD [be] with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless
 thee.
   Ruth|2:5  Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers,
 Whose damsel [is] this?
   Ruth|2:6  And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and
 said, It [is] the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the
 country of Moab:
   Ruth|2:7  And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the
 reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the
 morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
   Ruth|2:8  Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not
 to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my
 maidens:
   Ruth|2:9  [Let] thine eyes [be] on the field that they do reap, and go

 thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch
 thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of [that]
 which the young men have drawn.
   Ruth|2:10  Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
 and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou
 shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I [am] a stranger?
   Ruth|2:11  And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been showed
 me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine
 husband: and [how] thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land
 of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not
 heretofore.
   Ruth|2:12  The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee
 of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
   Ruth|2:13  Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for
 that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto
 thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
   Ruth|2:14  And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat
 of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the
 reapers: and he reached her parched [corn], and she did eat, and was
 sufficed, and left.
   Ruth|2:15  And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young

 men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
   Ruth|2:16  And let fall also [some] of the handfuls of purpose for her,
 and leave [them], that she may glean [them], and rebuke her not.
   Ruth|2:17  So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she
 had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
   Ruth|2:18  And she took [it] up, and went into the city: and her mother
 in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her
 that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
   Ruth|2:19  And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned
 to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of
 thee. And she showed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said,
 The man's name with whom I wrought to day [is] Boaz.
   Ruth|2:20  And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed [be] he of
 the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead.
 And Naomi said unto her, The man [is] near of kin unto us, one of our next
 kinsmen.
   Ruth|2:21  And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt
 keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
   Ruth|2:22  And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, [It is] good, my
 daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any
 other field.

   Ruth|2:23  So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end
 of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
   Ruth|3:1  Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall
 I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
   Ruth|3:2  And now [is] not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou
 wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
   Ruth|3:3  Wash thy self therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment
 upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: [but] make not thyself known
 unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
   Ruth|3:4  And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the
 place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and
 lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
   Ruth|3:5  And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
   Ruth|3:6  And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that
 her mother in law bade her.
   Ruth|3:7  And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he
 went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and
 uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
   Ruth|3:8  And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and
 turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
   Ruth|3:9  And he said, Who [art] thou? And she answered, I [am] Ruth

 thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou
 [art] a near kinsman.
   Ruth|3:10  And he said, Blessed [be] thou of the LORD, my daughter: [for]
 thou hast showed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning,
 inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
   Ruth|3:11  And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that
 thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou [art] a
 virtuous woman.
   Ruth|3:12  And now it is true that I [am thy] near kinsman: howbeit there
 is a kinsman nearer than I.
   Ruth|3:13  Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, [that] if he
 will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the
 kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then
 will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, [as] the LORD liveth: lie down
 until the morning.
   Ruth|3:14  And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up
 before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a
 woman came into the floor.
   Ruth|3:15  Also he said, Bring the veil that [thou hast] upon thee, and
 hold it. And when she held it, he measured six [measures] of barley, and
 laid [it] on her: and she went into the city.

   Ruth|3:16  And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who [art]
 thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
   Ruth|3:17  And she said, These six [measures] of barley gave he me; for
 he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
   Ruth|3:18  Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the
 matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished
 the thing this day.
   Ruth|4:1  Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and,
 behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such
 a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
   Ruth|4:2  And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye
 down here. And they sat down.
   Ruth|4:3  And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of
 the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which [was] our brother
 Elimelech's:
   Ruth|4:4  And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy [it] before the
 inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem [it],
 redeem [it]: but if thou wilt not redeem [it, then] tell me, that I may
 know: for [there is] none to redeem [it] beside thee; and I [am] after
 thee. And he said, I will redeem [it].
   Ruth|4:5  Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of

 Naomi, thou must buy [it] also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead,
 to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
   Ruth|4:6  And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem [it] for myself, lest I
 mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot
 redeem [it].
   Ruth|4:7  Now this [was the manner] in former time in Israel concerning
 redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked
 off his shoe, and gave [it] to his neighbour: and this [was] a testimony in
 Israel.
   Ruth|4:8  Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy [it] for thee. So he
 drew off his shoe.
   Ruth|4:9  And Boaz said unto the elders, and [unto] all the people, Ye
 [are] witnesses this day, that I have bought all that [was] Elimelech's,
 and all that [was] Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
   Ruth|4:10  Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I
 purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his
 inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his
 brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye [are] witnesses this day.
   Ruth|4:11  And all the people that [were] in the gate, and the elders,
 said, [We are] witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine
 house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel:

 and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
   Ruth|4:12  And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare
 unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
   Ruth|4:13  So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in
 unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
   Ruth|4:14  And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed [be] the LORD, which
 hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous
 in Israel.
   Ruth|4:15  And he shall be unto thee a restorer of [thy] life, and a
 nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee,
 which is better to thee than seven sons, hath borne him.
   Ruth|4:16  And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became
 nurse unto it.
   Ruth|4:17  And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is
 a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he [is] the father of
 Jesse, the father of David.
   Ruth|4:18  Now these [are] the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat
 Hezron,
   Ruth|4:19  And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
   Ruth|4:20  And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
   Ruth|4:21  And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,

   Ruth|4:22  And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
   Samuel-1|1:1  Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount
 Ephraim, and his name [was] Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu,
 the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
   Samuel-1|1:2  And he had two wives; the name of the one [was] Hannah, and
 the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had
 no children.
   Samuel-1|1:3  And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and
 to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli,
 Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, [were] there.
   Samuel-1|1:4  And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to
 Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
   Samuel-1|1:5  But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved
 Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
   Samuel-1|1:6  And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her
 fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
   Samuel-1|1:7  And [as] he did so year by year, when she went up to the
 house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not
 eat.
   Samuel-1|1:8  Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest
 thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? [am] not I

 better to thee than ten sons?
   Samuel-1|1:9  So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after
 they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple
 of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|1:10  And she [was] in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the
 LORD, and wept sore.
   Samuel-1|1:11  And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou
 wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and
 not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child,
 then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there
 shall no razor come upon his head.
   Samuel-1|1:12  And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the
 LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
   Samuel-1|1:13  Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved,
 but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
   Samuel-1|1:14  And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put
 away thy wine from thee.
   Samuel-1|1:15  And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I [am] a woman
 of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have
 poured out my soul before the LORD.
   Samuel-1|1:16  Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out

 of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
   Samuel-1|1:17  Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of
 Israel grant [thee] thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
   Samuel-1|1:18  And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight.
 So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more
 [sad].
   Samuel-1|1:19  And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped
 before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and
 Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
   Samuel-1|1:20  Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about
 after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name
 Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|1:21  And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer
 unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
   Samuel-1|1:22  But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, [I
 will not go up] until the child be weaned, and [then] I will bring him,
 that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
   Samuel-1|1:23  And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth
 thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his
 word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
   Samuel-1|1:24  And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her,

 with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and
 brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child [was]
 young.
   Samuel-1|1:25  And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
   Samuel-1|1:26  And she said, Oh my lord, [as] thy soul liveth, my lord, I
 [am] the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
   Samuel-1|1:27  For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my
 petition which I asked of him:
   Samuel-1|1:28  Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he
 liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
   Samuel-1|2:1  And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the
 LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine
 enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
   Samuel-1|2:2  [There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none
 beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.
   Samuel-1|2:3  Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy come
 out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and by him actions
 are weighed.
   Samuel-1|2:4  The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that
 stumbled are girded with strength.
   Samuel-1|2:5  [They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread;

 and [they that were] hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and
 she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
   Samuel-1|2:6  The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the
 grave, and bringeth up.
   Samuel-1|2:7  The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and
 lifteth up.
   Samuel-1|2:8  He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up
 the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them
 inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD's,
 and he hath set the world upon them.
   Samuel-1|2:9  He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall
 be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
   Samuel-1|2:10  The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out
 of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the
 earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his
 anointed.
   Samuel-1|2:11  And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did
 minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
   Samuel-1|2:12  Now the sons of Eli [were] sons of Belial; they knew not
 the LORD.
   Samuel-1|2:13  And the priests' custom with the people [was, that], when

 any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was
 in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
   Samuel-1|2:14  And he struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or
 pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they
 did in Shiloh, unto all the Israelites that came thither.
   Samuel-1|2:15  Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came,
 and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest;
 for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
   Samuel-1|2:16  And [if] any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn
 the fat presently, and [then] take [as much] as thy soul desireth; then he
 would answer him, [Nay]; but thou shalt give [it me] now: and if not, I
 will take [it] by force.
   Samuel-1|2:17  Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before
 the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|2:18  But Samuel ministered before the LORD, [being] a child,
 girded with a linen ephod.
   Samuel-1|2:19  Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought
 [it] to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer
 the yearly sacrifice.
   Samuel-1|2:20  And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD
 give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And

 they went unto their own home.
   Samuel-1|2:21  And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and
 bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the
 LORD.
   Samuel-1|2:22  Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto
 all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled [at] the door of
 the tabernacle of the congregation.
   Samuel-1|2:23  And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear
 of your evil dealings by all this people.
   Samuel-1|2:24  Nay, my sons; for [it is] no good report that I hear: ye
 make the LORD's people to transgress.
   Samuel-1|2:25  If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him:
 but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him?
 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because
 the LORD would slay them.
   Samuel-1|2:26  And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with
 the LORD, and also with men.
   Samuel-1|2:27  And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him,
 Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father,
 when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
   Samuel-1|2:28  And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel [to

 be] my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod
 before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings
 made by fire of the children of Israel?
   Samuel-1|2:29  Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering,
 which I have commanded [in my] habitation; and honourest thy sons above me,
 to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my
 people?
   Samuel-1|2:30  Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed
 [that] thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for
 ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I
 will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
   Samuel-1|2:31  Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and
 the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine
 house.
   Samuel-1|2:32  And thou shalt see an enemy [in my] habitation, in all
 [the wealth] which [God] shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old
 man in thine house for ever.
   Samuel-1|2:33  And the man of thine, [whom] I shall not cut off from mine
 altar, [shall be] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all
 the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
   Samuel-1|2:34  And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, that shall come upon

 thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of
 them.
   Samuel-1|2:35  And I will raise me up a faithful priest, [that] shall do
 according to [that] which [is] in mine heart and in my mind: and I will
 build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
   Samuel-1|2:36  And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left
 in thine house shall come [and] crouch to him for a piece of silver and a
 morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the
 priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
   Samuel-1|3:1  And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli.
 And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; [there was] no open
 vision.
   Samuel-1|3:2  And it came to pass at that time, when Eli [was] laid down
 in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, [that] he could not see;
   Samuel-1|3:3  And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD,
 where the ark of God [was], and Samuel was laid down [to sleep];
   Samuel-1|3:4  That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here [am] I.
   Samuel-1|3:5  And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou
 calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay
 down.
   Samuel-1|3:6  And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and

 went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And he
 answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
   Samuel-1|3:7  Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word
 of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
   Samuel-1|3:8  And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he
 arose and went to Eli, and said, Here [am] I; for thou didst call me. And
 Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
   Samuel-1|3:9  Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall
 be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant
 heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
   Samuel-1|3:10  And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other
 times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant
 heareth.
   Samuel-1|3:11  And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in
 Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
   Samuel-1|3:12  In that day I will perform against Eli all [things] which
 I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
   Samuel-1|3:13  For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever
 for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile,
 and he restrained them not.
   Samuel-1|3:14  And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the

 iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for
 ever.
   Samuel-1|3:15  And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of
 the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to show Eli the vision.
   Samuel-1|3:16  Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he
 answered, Here [am] I.
   Samuel-1|3:17  And he said, What [is] the thing that [the LORD] hath said
 unto thee? I pray thee hide [it] not from me: God do so to thee, and more
 also, if thou hide [any] thing from me of all the things that he said unto
 thee.
   Samuel-1|3:18  And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him.
 And he said, It [is] the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
   Samuel-1|3:19  And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let
 none of his words fall to the ground.
   Samuel-1|3:20  And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel
 [was] established [to be] a prophet of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|3:21  And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD
 revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|4:1  And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went
 out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the
 Philistines pitched in Aphek.

   Samuel-1|4:2  And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel:
 and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and
 they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
   Samuel-1|4:3  And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of
 Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the
 Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh
 unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of
 our enemies.
   Samuel-1|4:4  So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from
 thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth
 [between] the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,
 [were] there with the ark of the covenant of God.
   Samuel-1|4:5  And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the
 camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
   Samuel-1|4:6  And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they
 said, What [meaneth] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the
 Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the
 camp.
   Samuel-1|4:7  And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come
 into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a
 thing heretofore.

   Samuel-1|4:8  Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these
 mighty Gods? these [are] the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the
 plagues in the wilderness.
   Samuel-1|4:9  Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines,
 that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit
 yourselves like men, and fight.
   Samuel-1|4:10  And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and
 they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter;
 for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
   Samuel-1|4:11  And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli,
 Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
   Samuel-1|4:12  And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came
 to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
   Samuel-1|4:13  And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside
 watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came
 into the city, and told [it], all the city cried out.
   Samuel-1|4:14  And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What
 [meaneth] the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told
 Eli.
   Samuel-1|4:15  Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were
 dim, that he could not see.

   Samuel-1|4:16  And the man said unto Eli, I [am] he that came out of the
 army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done,
 my son?
   Samuel-1|4:17  And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before
 the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the
 people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark
 of God is taken.
   Samuel-1|4:18  And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of
 God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and
 his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had
 judged Israel forty years.
   Samuel-1|4:19  And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child,
 [near] to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God
 was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed
 herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
   Samuel-1|4:20  And about the time of her death the women that stood by
 her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast borne a son. But she answered
 not, neither did she regard [it].
   Samuel-1|4:21  And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is
 departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her
 father in law and her husband.

   Samuel-1|4:22  And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the
 ark of God is taken.
   Samuel-1|5:1  And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it
 from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
   Samuel-1|5:2  When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it
 into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
   Samuel-1|5:3  And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold,
 Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD.
 And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
   Samuel-1|5:4  And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold,
 Dagon [was] fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD;
 and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands [were] cut off upon
 the threshold; only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him.
   Samuel-1|5:5  Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come
 into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this
 day.
   Samuel-1|5:6  But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and
 he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, [even] Ashdod and the
 coasts thereof.
   Samuel-1|5:7  And when the men of Ashdod saw that [it was] so, they said,
 The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore

 upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
   Samuel-1|5:8  They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the
 Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God
 of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried
 about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about
 [thither].
   Samuel-1|5:9  And it was [so], that, after they had carried it about, the
 hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he
 smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in
 their secret parts.
   Samuel-1|5:10  Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came
 to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out,
 saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay
 us and our people.
   Samuel-1|5:11  So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the
 Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it
 go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there
 was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very
 heavy there.
   Samuel-1|5:12  And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods:
 and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

   Samuel-1|6:1  And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the
 Philistines seven months.
   Samuel-1|6:2  And the Philistines called for the priests and the
 diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us
 wherewith we shall send it to his place.
   Samuel-1|6:3  And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of
 Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering:
 then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not
 removed from you.
   Samuel-1|6:4  Then said they, What [shall be] the trespass offering which
 we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden
 mice, [according to] the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one
 plague [was] on you all, and on your lords.
   Samuel-1|6:5  Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images
 of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of
 Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off
 your gods, and from off your land.
   Samuel-1|6:6  Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians
 and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among
 them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
   Samuel-1|6:7  Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on

 which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring
 their calves home from them:
   Samuel-1|6:8  And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and
 put the jewels of gold, which ye return him [for] a trespass offering, in a
 coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
   Samuel-1|6:9  And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to
 Bethshemesh, [then] he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we
 shall know that [it is] not his hand [that] smote us: it [was] a chance
 [that] happened to us.
   Samuel-1|6:10  And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them
 to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
   Samuel-1|6:11  And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the
 coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
   Samuel-1|6:12  And the kine took the straight way to the way of
 Bethshemesh, [and] went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned
 not aside [to] the right hand or [to] the left; and the lords of the
 Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.
   Samuel-1|6:13  And [they of] Bethshemesh [were] reaping their wheat
 harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and
 rejoiced to see [it].
   Samuel-1|6:14  And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite,

 and stood there, where [there was] a great stone: and they clave the wood
 of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.
   Samuel-1|6:15  And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the
 coffer that [was] with it, wherein the jewels of gold [were], and put
 [them] on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt
 offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.
   Samuel-1|6:16  And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it],
 they returned to Ekron the same day.
   Samuel-1|6:17  And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines
 returned [for] a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza
 one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
   Samuel-1|6:18  And the golden mice, [according to] the number of all the
 cities of the Philistines [belonging] to the five lords, [both] of fenced
 cities, and of country villages, even unto the great [stone of] Abel,
 whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: [which stone remaineth] unto
 this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
   Samuel-1|6:19  And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had
 looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand
 and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had
 smitten [many] of the people with a great slaughter.
   Samuel-1|6:20  And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand

 before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
   Samuel-1|6:21  And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of
 Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the
 LORD; come ye down, [and] fetch it up to you.
   Samuel-1|7:1  And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark
 of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and
 sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|7:2  And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim,
 that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of
 Israel lamented after the LORD.
   Samuel-1|7:3  And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If
 ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the
 strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the
 LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the
 Philistines.
   Samuel-1|7:4  Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and
 Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
   Samuel-1|7:5  And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will
 pray for you unto the LORD.
   Samuel-1|7:6  And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and
 poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We

 have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in
 Mizpeh.
   Samuel-1|7:7  And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel
 were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up
 against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were
 afraid of the Philistines.
   Samuel-1|7:8  And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry
 unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the
 Philistines.
   Samuel-1|7:9  And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a
 burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for
 Israel; and the LORD heard him.
   Samuel-1|7:10  And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the
 Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with
 a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and
 they were smitten before Israel.
   Samuel-1|7:11  And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the
 Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Bethcar.
   Samuel-1|7:12  Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and
 Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD
 helped us.

   Samuel-1|7:13  So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more
 into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the
 Philistines all the days of Samuel.
   Samuel-1|7:14  And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel
 were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof
 did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace
 between Israel and the Amorites.
   Samuel-1|7:15  And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
   Samuel-1|7:16  And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and
 Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
   Samuel-1|7:17  And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house;
 and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
   Samuel-1|8:1  And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his
 sons judges over Israel.
   Samuel-1|8:2  Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his
 second, Abiah: [they were] judges in Beersheba.
   Samuel-1|8:3  And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after
 lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
   Samuel-1|8:4  Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together,
 and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
   Samuel-1|8:5  And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk

 not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
   Samuel-1|8:6  But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a
 king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
   Samuel-1|8:7  And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of
 the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee,
 but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
   Samuel-1|8:8  According to all the works which they have done since the
 day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they
 have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
   Samuel-1|8:9  Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest
 solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign
 over them.
   Samuel-1|8:10  And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people
 that asked of him a king.
   Samuel-1|8:11  And he said, This will be the manner of the king that
 shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint [them] for
 himself, for his chariots, and [to be] his horsemen; and [some] shall run
 before his chariots.
   Samuel-1|8:12  And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and
 captains over fifties; and [will set them] to ear his ground, and to reap
 his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his

 chariots.
   Samuel-1|8:13  And he will take your daughters [to be] confectionaries,
 and [to be] cooks, and [to be] bakers.
   Samuel-1|8:14  And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your
 oliveyards, [even] the best [of them], and give [them] to his servants.
   Samuel-1|8:15  And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your
 vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
   Samuel-1|8:16  And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants,
 and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put [them] to his work.
   Samuel-1|8:17  He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his
 servants.
   Samuel-1|8:18  And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king
 which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
   Samuel-1|8:19  Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of
 Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
   Samuel-1|8:20  That we also may be like all the nations; and that our
 king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
   Samuel-1|8:21  And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he
 rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|8:22  And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and
 make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man

 unto his city.
   Samuel-1|9:1  Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name [was] Kish, the
 son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a
 Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
   Samuel-1|9:2  And he had a son, whose name [was] Saul, a choice young
 man, and a goodly: and [there was] not among the children of Israel a
 goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward [he was] higher than
 any of the people.
   Samuel-1|9:3  And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish
 said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go
 seek the asses.
   Samuel-1|9:4  And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the
 land of Shalisha, but they found [them] not: then they passed through the
 land of Shalim, and [there they were] not: and he passed through the land
 of the Benjamites, but they found [them] not.
   Samuel-1|9:5  [And] when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to
 his servant that [was] with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father
 leave [caring] for the asses, and take thought for us.
   Samuel-1|9:6  And he said unto him, Behold now, [there is] in this city a
 man of God, and [he is] an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely
 to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can show us our way that we

 should go.
   Samuel-1|9:7  Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, [if] we go,
 what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and
 [there is] not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
   Samuel-1|9:8  And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I
 have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: [that] will I give
 to the man of God, to tell us our way.
   Samuel-1|9:9  (Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God,
 thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for [he that is] now
 [called] a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
   Samuel-1|9:10  Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go.
 So they went unto the city where the man of God [was].
   Samuel-1|9:11  [And] as they went up the hill to the city, they found
 young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer
 here?
   Samuel-1|9:12  And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, [he is]
 before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for [there is]
 a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
   Samuel-1|9:13  As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway
 find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not
 eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; [and] afterwards

 they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye
 shall find him.
   Samuel-1|9:14  And they went up into the city: [and] when they were come
 into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the
 high place.
   Samuel-1|9:15  Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul
 came, saying,
   Samuel-1|9:16  To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of
 the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him [to be] captain over my
 people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the
 Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come
 unto me.
   Samuel-1|9:17  And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold
 the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
   Samuel-1|9:18  Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell
 me, I pray thee, where the seer's house [is].
   Samuel-1|9:19  And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I [am] the seer: go up
 before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to
 morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that [is] in thine heart.
   Samuel-1|9:20  And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set
 not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom [is] all the desire

 of Israel? [Is it] not on thee, and on all thy father's house?
   Samuel-1|9:21  And Saul answered and said, [Am] not I a Benjamite, of the
 smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the
 families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
   Samuel-1|9:22  And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them
 into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that
 were bidden, which [were] about thirty persons.
   Samuel-1|9:23  And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I
 gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.
   Samuel-1|9:24  And the cook took up the shoulder, and [that] which [was]
 upon it, and set [it] before Saul. And [Samuel] said, Behold that which is
 left! set [it] before thee, [and] eat: for unto this time hath it been kept
 for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with
 Samuel that day.
   Samuel-1|9:25  And when they were come down from the high place into the
 city, [Samuel] communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
   Samuel-1|9:26  And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring
 of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up,
 that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them,
 he and Samuel, abroad.
   Samuel-1|9:27  [And] as they were going down to the end of the city,

 Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on,)
 but stand thou still a while, that I may show thee the word of God.
   Samuel-1|10:1  Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] upon his
 head, and kissed him, and said, [Is it] not because the LORD hath anointed
 thee [to be] captain over his inheritance?
   Samuel-1|10:2  When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt
 find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and
 they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found:
 and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you,
 saying, What shall I do for my son?
   Samuel-1|10:3  Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt
 come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to
 God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves
 of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
   Samuel-1|10:4  And they will salute thee, and give thee two [loaves] of
 bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
   Samuel-1|10:5  After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where [is]
 the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art
 come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming
 down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a
 harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:

   Samuel-1|10:6  And the spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou
 shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
   Samuel-1|10:7  And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, [that]
 thou do as occasion serve thee; for God [is] with thee.
   Samuel-1|10:8  And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I
 will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, [and] to sacrifice
 sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to
 thee, and show thee what thou shalt do.
   Samuel-1|10:9  And it was [so], that when he had turned his back to go
 from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass
 that day.
   Samuel-1|10:10  And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company
 of prophets met him; and the spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied
 among them.
   Samuel-1|10:11  And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime
 saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said
 one to another, What [is] this [that] is come unto the son of Kish? [Is]
 Saul also among the prophets?
   Samuel-1|10:12  And one of the same place answered and said, But who [is]
 their father? Therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also among the
 prophets?

   Samuel-1|10:13  And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to
 the high place.
   Samuel-1|10:14  And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant,
 Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that [they
 were] no where, we came to Samuel.
   Samuel-1|10:15  And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel
 said unto you.
   Samuel-1|10:16  And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the
 asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake,
 he told him not.
   Samuel-1|10:17  And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to
 Mizpeh;
   Samuel-1|10:18  And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD
 God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of
 the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, [and] of
 them that oppressed you:
   Samuel-1|10:19  And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved
 you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said
 unto him, [Nay], but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves
 before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
   Samuel-1|10:20  And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to

 come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
   Samuel-1|10:21  When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by
 their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was
 taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
   Samuel-1|10:22  Therefore they inquired of the LORD further, if the man
 should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself
 among the stuff.
   Samuel-1|10:23  And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood
 among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders
 and upward.
   Samuel-1|10:24  And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the
 LORD hath chosen, that [there is] none like him among all the people? And
 all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
   Samuel-1|10:25  Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom,
 and wrote [it] in a book, and laid [it] up before the LORD. And Samuel sent
 all the people away, every man to his house.
   Samuel-1|10:26  And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with
 him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
   Samuel-1|10:27  But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save
 us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his
 peace.

   Samuel-1|11:1  Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against
 Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant
 with us, and we will serve thee.
   Samuel-1|11:2  And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this [condition]
 will I make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out all your right
 eyes, and lay it [for] a reproach upon all Israel.
   Samuel-1|11:3  And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven
 days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel:
 and then, if [there be] no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
   Samuel-1|11:4  Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the
 tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their
 voices, and wept.
   Samuel-1|11:5  And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field;
 and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they told him
 the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
   Samuel-1|11:6  And the spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those
 tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
   Samuel-1|11:7  And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and
 sent [them] throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers,
 saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it
 be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and

 they came out with one consent.
   Samuel-1|11:8  And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel
 were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
   Samuel-1|11:9  And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye
 say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by [that time] the sun be hot,
 ye shall have help. And the messengers came and showed [it] to the men of
 Jabesh; and they were glad.
   Samuel-1|11:10  Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come
 out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
   Samuel-1|11:11  And it was [so] on the morrow, that Saul put the people
 in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning
 watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to
 pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not
 left together.
   Samuel-1|11:12  And the people said unto Samuel, Who [is] he that said,
 Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
   Samuel-1|11:13  And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this
 day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
   Samuel-1|11:14  Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to
 Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
   Samuel-1|11:15  And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made

 Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices
 of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of
 Israel rejoiced greatly.
   Samuel-1|12:1  And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened
 unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
   Samuel-1|12:2  And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old
 and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons [are] with you: and I have walked
 before you from my childhood unto this day.
   Samuel-1|12:3  Behold, here I [am]: witness against me before the LORD,
 and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken?
 or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I
 received [any] bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it
 you.
   Samuel-1|12:4  And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed
 us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
   Samuel-1|12:5  And he said unto them, The LORD [is] witness against you,
 and his anointed [is] witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my
 hand. And they answered, [He is] witness.
   Samuel-1|12:6  And Samuel said unto the people, [It is] the LORD that
 advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land
 of Egypt.

   Samuel-1|12:7  Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you
 before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you
 and to your fathers.
   Samuel-1|12:8  When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried
 unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your
 fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
   Samuel-1|12:9  And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into
 the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the
 Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against
 them.
   Samuel-1|12:10  And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned,
 because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth:
 but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
   Samuel-1|12:11  And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and
 Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side,
 and ye dwelled safe.
   Samuel-1|12:12  And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of
 Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over
 us: when the LORD your God [was] your king.
   Samuel-1|12:13  Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, [and]
 whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.

   Samuel-1|12:14  If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his
 voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both
 ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD
 your God:
   Samuel-1|12:15  But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel
 against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be
 against you, as [it was] against your fathers.
   Samuel-1|12:16  Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the
 LORD will do before your eyes.
   Samuel-1|12:17  [Is it] not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the
 LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that
 your wickedness [is] great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in
 asking you a king.
   Samuel-1|12:18  So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder
 and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
   Samuel-1|12:19  And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy
 servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all
 our sins [this] evil, to ask us a king.
   Samuel-1|12:20  And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done
 all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve
 the LORD with all your heart;

   Samuel-1|12:21  And turn ye not aside: for [then should ye go] after vain
 [things], which cannot profit nor deliver; for they [are] vain.
   Samuel-1|12:22  For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great
 name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
   Samuel-1|12:23  Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against
 the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the
 right way:
   Samuel-1|12:24  Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your
 heart; for consider how great [things] he hath done for you.
   Samuel-1|12:25  But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed,
 both ye and your king.
   Samuel-1|13:1  Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years
 over Israel,
   Samuel-1|13:2  Saul chose him three thousand [men] of Israel; [whereof]
 two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand
 were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he
 sent every man to his tent.
   Samuel-1|13:3  And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that
 [was] in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the trumpet
 throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
   Samuel-1|13:4  And all Israel heard say [that] Saul had smitten a

 garrison of the Philistines, and [that] Israel also was had in abomination
 with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to
 Gilgal.
   Samuel-1|13:5  And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight
 with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and
 people as the sand which [is] on the sea shore in multitude: and they came
 up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.
   Samuel-1|13:6  When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait,
 (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in
 caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
   Samuel-1|13:7  And [some of] the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of
 Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he [was] yet in Gilgal, and all the people
 followed him trembling.
   Samuel-1|13:8  And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that
 Samuel [had appointed]: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were
 scattered from him.
   Samuel-1|13:9  And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and
 peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
   Samuel-1|13:10  And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end
 of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to
 meet him, that he might salute him.

   Samuel-1|13:11  And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said,
 Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and [that] thou
 camest not within the days appointed, and [that] the Philistines gathered
 themselves together at Michmash;
   Samuel-1|13:12  Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon
 me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced
 myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.
   Samuel-1|13:13  And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou
 hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee:
 for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
   Samuel-1|13:14  But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath
 sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him [to
 be] captain over his people, because thou hast not kept [that] which the
 LORD commanded thee.
   Samuel-1|13:15  And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah
 of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people [that were] present with him,
 about six hundred men.
   Samuel-1|13:16  And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people [that
 were] present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines
 encamped in Michmash.
   Samuel-1|13:17  And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines

 in three companies: one company turned unto the way [that leadeth to]
 Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
   Samuel-1|13:18  And another company turned the way [to] Bethhoron: and
 another company turned [to] the way of the border that looketh to the
 valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
   Samuel-1|13:19  Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of
 Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make [them] swords or
 spears:
   Samuel-1|13:20  But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to
 sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his ax, and his mattock.
   Samuel-1|13:21  Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the
 coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
   Samuel-1|13:22  So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was
 neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that [were]
 with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there
 found.
   Samuel-1|13:23  And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the
 passage of Michmash.
   Samuel-1|14:1  Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of
 Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over
 to the Philistines' garrison, that [is] on the other side. But he told not

 his father.
   Samuel-1|14:2  And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a
 pomegranate tree which [is] in Migron: and the people that [were] with him
 [were] about six hundred men;
   Samuel-1|14:3  And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son
 of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD'S priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod.
 And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
   Samuel-1|14:4  And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go
 over unto the Philistines' garrison, [there was] a sharp rock on the one
 side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one [was]
 Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
   Samuel-1|14:5  The forefront of the one [was] situate northward over
 against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
   Samuel-1|14:6  And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour,
 Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may
 be that the LORD will work for us: for [there is] no restraint to the LORD
 to save by many or by few.
   Samuel-1|14:7  And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that [is] in
 thine heart: turn thee; behold, I [am] with thee according to thy heart.
   Samuel-1|14:8  Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto [these]
 men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.

   Samuel-1|14:9  If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then
 we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.
   Samuel-1|14:10  But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go
 up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this [shall be] a
 sign unto us.
   Samuel-1|14:11  And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison
 of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come
 forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
   Samuel-1|14:12  And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his
 armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And
 Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath
 delivered them into the hand of Israel.
   Samuel-1|14:13  And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet,
 and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his
 armourbearer slew after him.
   Samuel-1|14:14  And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his
 armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of
 land, [which] a yoke [of oxen might plow].
   Samuel-1|14:15  And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and
 among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled,
 and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.

   Samuel-1|14:16  And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked;
 and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down [one
 another].
   Samuel-1|14:17  Then said Saul unto the people that [were] with him,
 Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered,
 behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer [were] not [there].
   Samuel-1|14:18  And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God.
 For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
   Samuel-1|14:19  And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest,
 that the noise that [was] in the host of the Philistines went on and
 increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.
   Samuel-1|14:20  And Saul and all the people that [were] with him
 assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's
 sword was against his fellow, [and there was] a very great discomfiture.
   Samuel-1|14:21  Moreover the Hebrews [that] were with the Philistines
 before that time, which went up with them into the camp [from the country]
 round about, even they also [turned] to be with the Israelites that [were]
 with Saul and Jonathan.
   Samuel-1|14:22  Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves
 in mount Ephraim, [when] they heard that the Philistines fled, even they
 also followed hard after them in the battle.

   Samuel-1|14:23  So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed
 over unto Bethaven.
   Samuel-1|14:24  And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul
 had adjured the people, saying, Cursed [be] the man that eateth [any] food
 until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people
 tasted [any] food.
   Samuel-1|14:25  And all [they of] the land came to a wood; and there was
 honey upon the ground.
   Samuel-1|14:26  And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the
 honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared
 the oath.
   Samuel-1|14:27  But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people
 with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that [was] in his
 hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his
 eyes were enlightened.
   Samuel-1|14:28  Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father
 straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed [be] the man that
 eateth [any] food this day. And the people were faint.
   Samuel-1|14:29  Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land:
 see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a
 little of this honey.

   Samuel-1|14:30  How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to
 day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been
 now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
   Samuel-1|14:31  And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to
 Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
   Samuel-1|14:32  And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and
 oxen, and calves, and slew [them] on the ground: and the people did eat
 [them] with the blood.
   Samuel-1|14:33  Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin
 against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have
 transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
   Samuel-1|14:34  And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and
 say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep,
 and slay [them] here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with
 the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night,
 and slew [them] there.
   Samuel-1|14:35  And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the
 first altar that he built unto the LORD.
   Samuel-1|14:36  And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by
 night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man
 of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the

 priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
   Samuel-1|14:37  And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the
 Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he
 answered him not that day.
   Samuel-1|14:38  And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the
 people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
   Samuel-1|14:39  For, [as] the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it
 be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But [there was] not a man among
 all the people [that] answered him.
   Samuel-1|14:40  Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I
 and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto
 Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
   Samuel-1|14:41  Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a
 perfect [lot]. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
   Samuel-1|14:42  And Saul said, Cast [lots] between me and Jonathan my
 son. And Jonathan was taken.
   Samuel-1|14:43  Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done.
 And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the
 end of the rod that [was] in mine hand, [and], lo, I must die.
   Samuel-1|14:44  And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou
 shalt surely die, Jonathan.

   Samuel-1|14:45  And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who
 hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: [as] the LORD
 liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he
 hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he
 died not.
   Samuel-1|14:46  Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the
 Philistines went to their own place.
   Samuel-1|14:47  So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against
 all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of
 Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the
 Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed [them].
   Samuel-1|14:48  And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and
 delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.
   Samuel-1|14:49  Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and
 Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters [were these]; the name of
 the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
   Samuel-1|14:50  And the name of Saul's wife [was] Ahinoam, the daughter
 of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host [was] Abner, the son of
 Ner, Saul's uncle.
   Samuel-1|14:51  And Kish [was] the father of Saul; and Ner the father of
 Abner [was] the son of Abiel.

   Samuel-1|14:52  And there was sore war against the Philistines all the
 days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took
 him unto him.
   Samuel-1|15:1  Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint
 thee [to be] king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou
 unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|15:2  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember [that] which
 Amalek did to Israel, how he laid [wait] for him in the way, when he came
 up from Egypt.
   Samuel-1|15:3  Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they
 have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling,
 ox and sheep, camel and ass.
   Samuel-1|15:4  And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them
 in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
   Samuel-1|15:5  And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the
 valley.
   Samuel-1|15:6  And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down
 from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye showed
 kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So
 the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
   Samuel-1|15:7  And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah [until] thou

 comest to Shur, that [is] over against Egypt.
   Samuel-1|15:8  And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and
 utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
   Samuel-1|15:9  But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the
 sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all [that
 was] good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing [that was]
 vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
   Samuel-1|15:10  Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
   Samuel-1|15:11  It repenteth me that I have set up Saul [to be] king: for
 he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my
 commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
   Samuel-1|15:12  And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning,
 it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up
 a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
   Samuel-1|15:13  And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed
 [be] thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|15:14  And Samuel said, What [meaneth] then this bleating of the
 sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
   Samuel-1|15:15  And Saul said, They have brought them from the
 Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to
 sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.

   Samuel-1|15:16  Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee
 what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
   Samuel-1|15:17  And Samuel said, When thou [wast] little in thine own
 sight, [wast] thou not [made] the head of the tribes of Israel, and the
 LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
   Samuel-1|15:18  And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and
 utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until
 they be consumed.
   Samuel-1|15:19  Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD,
 but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
   Samuel-1|15:20  And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice
 of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought
 Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
   Samuel-1|15:21  But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the
 chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice
 unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
   Samuel-1|15:22  And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in
 burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?
 Behold, to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat
 of rams.
   Samuel-1|15:23  For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and

 stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the
 word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king.
   Samuel-1|15:24  And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have
 transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared
 the people, and obeyed their voice.
   Samuel-1|15:25  Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again
 with me, that I may worship the LORD.
   Samuel-1|15:26  And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee:
 for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected
 thee from being king over Israel.
   Samuel-1|15:27  And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon
 the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
   Samuel-1|15:28  And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom
 of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine,
 [that is] better than thou.
   Samuel-1|15:29  And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent:
 for he [is] not a man, that he should repent.
   Samuel-1|15:30  Then he said, I have sinned: [yet] honour me now, I pray
 thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again
 with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
   Samuel-1|15:31  So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped

 the LORD.
   Samuel-1|15:32  Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of
 the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely
 the bitterness of death is past.
   Samuel-1|15:33  And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless,
 so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in
 pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
   Samuel-1|15:34  Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house
 to Gibeah of Saul.
   Samuel-1|15:35  And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his
 death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he
 had made Saul king over Israel.
   Samuel-1|16:1  And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn
 for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine
 horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I
 have provided me a king among his sons.
   Samuel-1|16:2  And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear [it], he will
 kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to
 sacrifice to the LORD.
   Samuel-1|16:3  And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what
 thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me [him] whom I name unto thee.

   Samuel-1|16:4  And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to
 Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said,
 Comest thou peaceably?
   Samuel-1|16:5  And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the
 LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he
 sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
   Samuel-1|16:6  And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked
 on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed [is] before him.
   Samuel-1|16:7  But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his
 countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him:
 for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward
 appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
   Samuel-1|16:8  Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before
 Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
   Samuel-1|16:9  Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither
 hath the LORD chosen this.
   Samuel-1|16:10  Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before
 Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
   Samuel-1|16:11  And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy] children?
 And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the
 sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit

 down till he come hither.
   Samuel-1|16:12  And he sent, and brought him in. Now he [was] ruddy,
 [and] withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the
 LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this [is] he.
   Samuel-1|16:13  Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the
 midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the LORD came upon David from that
 day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
   Samuel-1|16:14  But the spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an
 evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
   Samuel-1|16:15  And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil
 spirit from God troubleth thee.
   Samuel-1|16:16  Let our lord now command thy servants, [which are] before
 thee, to seek out a man, [who is] a cunning player on an harp: and it shall
 come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall
 play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
   Samuel-1|16:17  And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man
 that can play well, and bring [him] to me.
   Samuel-1|16:18  Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I
 have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, [that is] cunning in playing,
 and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a
 comely person, and the LORD [is] with him.

   Samuel-1|16:19  Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send
 me David thy son, which [is] with the sheep.
   Samuel-1|16:20  And Jesse took an ass [laden] with bread, and a bottle of
 wine, and a kid, and sent [them] by David his son unto Saul.
   Samuel-1|16:21  And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he
 loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
   Samuel-1|16:22  And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee,
 stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
   Samuel-1|16:23  And it came to pass, when the [evil] spirit from God was
 upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was
 refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
   Samuel-1|17:1  Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to
 battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which [belongeth] to Judah,
 and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
   Samuel-1|17:2  And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and
 pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the
 Philistines.
   Samuel-1|17:3  And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side,
 and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and [there was] a valley
 between them.
   Samuel-1|17:4  And there went out a champion out of the camp of the

 Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height [was] six cubits and a
 span.
   Samuel-1|17:5  And [he had] an helmet of brass upon his head, and he
 [was] armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat [was] five
 thousand shekels of brass.
   Samuel-1|17:6  And [he had] greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target
 of brass between his shoulders.
   Samuel-1|17:7  And the staff of his spear [was] like a weaver's beam; and
 his spear's head [weighed] six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a
 shield went before him.
   Samuel-1|17:8  And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said
 unto them, Why are ye come out to set [your] battle in array? [am] not I a
 Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him
 come down to me.
   Samuel-1|17:9  If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will
 we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall
 ye be our servants, and serve us.
   Samuel-1|17:10  And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this
 day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
   Samuel-1|17:11  When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the
 Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.

   Samuel-1|17:12  Now David [was] the son of that Ephrathite of
 Bethlehemjudah, whose name [was] Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man
 went among men [for] an old man in the days of Saul.
   Samuel-1|17:13  And the three eldest sons of Jesse went [and] followed
 Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle
 [were] Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third
 Shammah.
   Samuel-1|17:14  And David [was] the youngest: and the three eldest
 followed Saul.
   Samuel-1|17:15  But David went and returned from Saul to feed his
 father's sheep at Bethlehem.
   Samuel-1|17:16  And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and
 presented himself forty days.
   Samuel-1|17:17  And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy
 brethren an ephah of this parched [corn], and these ten loaves, and run to
 the camp to thy brethren;
   Samuel-1|17:18  And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of [their]
 thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
   Samuel-1|17:19  Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in
 the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
   Samuel-1|17:20  And David rose up early in the morning, and left the

 sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he
 came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted
 for the battle.
   Samuel-1|17:21  For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in
 array, army against army.
   Samuel-1|17:22  And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of
 the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
   Samuel-1|17:23  And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the
 champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the
 Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard [them].
   Samuel-1|17:24  And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled
 from him, and were sore afraid.
   Samuel-1|17:25  And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is
 come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, [that] the
 man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will
 give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
   Samuel-1|17:26  And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying,
 What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away
 the reproach from Israel? for who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that
 he should defy the armies of the living God?
   Samuel-1|17:27  And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So

 shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
   Samuel-1|17:28  And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the
 men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest
 thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the
 wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou
 art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
   Samuel-1|17:29  And David said, What have I now done? [Is there] not a
 cause?
   Samuel-1|17:30  And he turned from him toward another, and spake after
 the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
   Samuel-1|17:31  And when the words were heard which David spake, they
 rehearsed [them] before Saul: and he sent for him.
   Samuel-1|17:32  And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because
 of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
   Samuel-1|17:33  And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against
 this Philistine to fight with him: for thou [art but] a youth, and he a man
 of war from his youth.
   Samuel-1|17:34  And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's
 sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
   Samuel-1|17:35  And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered
 [it] out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught [him] by his

 beard, and smote him, and slew him.
   Samuel-1|17:36  Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this
 uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the
 armies of the living God.
   Samuel-1|17:37  David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of
 the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out
 of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD
 be with thee.
   Samuel-1|17:38  And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an
 helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
   Samuel-1|17:39  And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he
 assayed to go; for he had not proved [it]. And David said unto Saul, I
 cannot go with these; for I have not proved [them]. And David put them off
 him.
   Samuel-1|17:40  And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five
 smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he
 had, even in a scrip; and his sling [was] in his hand: and he drew near to
 the Philistine.
   Samuel-1|17:41  And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and
 the man that bare the shield [went] before him.
   Samuel-1|17:42  And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he

 disdained him: for he was [but] a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair
 countenance.
   Samuel-1|17:43  And the Philistine said unto David, [Am] I a dog, that
 thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
   Samuel-1|17:44  And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will
 give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
   Samuel-1|17:45  Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with
 a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the
 name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast
 defied.
   Samuel-1|17:46  This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I
 will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the
 carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air,
 and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there
 is a God in Israel.
   Samuel-1|17:47  And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not
 with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD's, and he will give you
 into our hands.
   Samuel-1|17:48  And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came
 and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to
 meet the Philistine.

   Samuel-1|17:49  And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a
 stone, and slang [it], and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the
 stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
   Samuel-1|17:50  So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and
 with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but [there was] no
 sword in the hand of David.
   Samuel-1|17:51  Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and
 took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and
 cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was
 dead, they fled.
   Samuel-1|17:52  And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted,
 and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the
 gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to
 Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
   Samuel-1|17:53  And the children of Israel returned from chasing after
 the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
   Samuel-1|17:54  And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it
 to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
   Samuel-1|17:55  And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine,
 he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son [is] this
 youth? And Abner said, [As] thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.

   Samuel-1|17:56  And the king said, Inquire thou whose son the stripling
 [is].
   Samuel-1|17:57  And as David returned from the slaughter of the
 Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of
 the Philistine in his hand.
   Samuel-1|17:58  And Saul said to him, Whose son [art] thou, [thou] young
 man? And David answered, I [am] the son of thy servant Jesse the
 Bethlehemite.
   Samuel-1|18:1  And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking
 unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and
 Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
   Samuel-1|18:2  And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more
 home to his father's house.
   Samuel-1|18:3  Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved
 him as his own soul.
   Samuel-1|18:4  And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that [was] upon
 him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his
 bow, and to his girdle.
   Samuel-1|18:5  And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and]
 behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was
 accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's

 servants.
   Samuel-1|18:6  And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned
 from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities
 of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy,
 and with instruments of music.
   Samuel-1|18:7  And the women answered [one another] as they played, and
 said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
   Samuel-1|18:8  And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him;
 and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they
 have ascribed [but] thousands: and [what] can he have more but the kingdom?
   Samuel-1|18:9  And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
   Samuel-1|18:10  And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit
 from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and
 David played with his hand, as at other times: and [there was] a javelin in
 Saul's hand.
   Samuel-1|18:11  And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite
 David even to the wall [with it]. And David avoided out of his presence
 twice.
   Samuel-1|18:12  And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with
 him, and was departed from Saul.
   Samuel-1|18:13  Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his

 captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
   Samuel-1|18:14  And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the
 LORD [was] with him.
   Samuel-1|18:15  Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very
 wisely, he was afraid of him.
   Samuel-1|18:16  But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out
 and came in before them.
   Samuel-1|18:17  And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab,
 her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the
 LORD'S battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the
 hand of the Philistines be upon him.
   Samuel-1|18:18  And David said unto Saul, Who [am] I? and what [is] my
 life, [or] my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the
 king?
   Samuel-1|18:19  But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's
 daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel
 the Meholathite to wife.
   Samuel-1|18:20  And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told
 Saul, and the thing pleased him.
   Samuel-1|18:21  And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a
 snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.

 Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in [the
 one of] the twain.
   Samuel-1|18:22  And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with
 David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his
 servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law.
   Samuel-1|18:23  And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of
 David. And David said, Seemeth it to you [a] light [thing] to be a king's
 son in law, seeing that I [am] a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
   Samuel-1|18:24  And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner
 spake David.
   Samuel-1|18:25  And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king
 desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be
 avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the
 hand of the Philistines.
   Samuel-1|18:26  And when his servants told David these words, it pleased
 David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired.
   Samuel-1|18:27  Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew
 of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and
 they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in
 law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
   Samuel-1|18:28  And Saul saw and knew that the LORD [was] with David, and

 [that] Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
   Samuel-1|18:29  And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul
 became David's enemy continually.
   Samuel-1|18:30  Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it
 came to pass, after they went forth, [that] David behaved himself more
 wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
   Samuel-1|19:1  And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his
 servants, that they should kill David.
   Samuel-1|19:2  But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and
 Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now
 therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide
 in a secret [place], and hide thyself:
   Samuel-1|19:3  And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field
 where thou [art], and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I
 see, that I will tell thee.
   Samuel-1|19:4  And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and
 said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David;
 because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works [have been]
 to thee-ward very good:
   Samuel-1|19:5  For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the
 Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou

 sawest [it], and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against
 innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
   Samuel-1|19:6  And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul
 sware, [As] the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
   Samuel-1|19:7  And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all
 those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his
 presence, as in times past.
   Samuel-1|19:8  And there was war again: and David went out, and fought
 with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled
 from him.
   Samuel-1|19:9  And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat
 in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with [his]
 hand.
   Samuel-1|19:10  And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the
 javelin; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the
 javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
   Samuel-1|19:11  Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch
 him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him,
 saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
   Samuel-1|19:12  So Michal let David down through a window: and he went,
 and fled, and escaped.

   Samuel-1|19:13  And Michal took an image, and laid [it] in the bed, and
 put a pillow of goats' [hair] for his bolster, and covered [it] with a
 cloth.
   Samuel-1|19:14  And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He
 [is] sick.
   Samuel-1|19:15  And Saul sent the messengers [again] to see David,
 saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
   Samuel-1|19:16  And when the messengers were come in, behold, [there was]
 an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' [hair] for his bolster.
   Samuel-1|19:17  And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so,
 and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He
 said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
   Samuel-1|19:18  So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah,
 and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and
 dwelt in Naioth.
   Samuel-1|19:19  And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David [is] at
 Naioth in Ramah.
   Samuel-1|19:20  And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw
 the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing [as] appointed
 over them, the spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also
 prophesied.

   Samuel-1|19:21  And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and
 they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time,
 and they prophesied also.
   Samuel-1|19:22  Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that
 [is] in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where [are] Samuel and David? And
 [one] said, Behold, [they be] at Naioth in Ramah.
   Samuel-1|19:23  And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of
 God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to
 Naioth in Ramah.
   Samuel-1|19:24  And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied
 before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that
 night. Wherefore they say, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
   Samuel-1|20:1  And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said
 before Jonathan, What have I done? what [is] mine iniquity? and what [is]
 my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
   Samuel-1|20:2  And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die:
 behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will
 show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it [is] not
 [so].
   Samuel-1|20:3  And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly
 knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not

 Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly [as] the LORD liveth, and
 [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a step between me and death.
   Samuel-1|20:4  Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul
 desireth, I will even do [it] for thee.
   Samuel-1|20:5  And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow [is] the
 new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me
 go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third [day] at even.
   Samuel-1|20:6  If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly
 asked [leave] of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for [there is]
 a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
   Samuel-1|20:7  If he say thus, [It is] well; thy servant shall have
 peace: but if he be very wroth, [then] be sure that evil is determined by
 him.
   Samuel-1|20:8  Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for
 thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee:
 notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why
 shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
   Samuel-1|20:9  And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew
 certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then
 would not I tell it thee?
   Samuel-1|20:10  Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what

 [if] thy father answer thee roughly?
   Samuel-1|20:11  And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out
 into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
   Samuel-1|20:12  And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when
 I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, [or] the third [day],
 and, behold, [if there be] good toward David, and I then send not unto
 thee, and show it thee;
   Samuel-1|20:13  The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it
 please my father [to do] thee evil, then I will show it thee, and send thee
 away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath
 been with my father.
   Samuel-1|20:14  And thou shalt not only while yet I live show me the
 kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
   Samuel-1|20:15  But [also] thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my
 house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David
 every one from the face of the earth.
   Samuel-1|20:16  So Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David,
 [saying], Let the LORD even require [it] at the hand of David's enemies.
   Samuel-1|20:17  And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he
 loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
   Samuel-1|20:18  Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow [is] the new moon:

 and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
   Samuel-1|20:19  And [when] thou hast stayed three days, [then] thou shalt
 go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when
 the business was [in hand], and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
   Samuel-1|20:20  And I will shoot three arrows on the side [thereof], as
 though I shot at a mark.
   Samuel-1|20:21  And, behold, I will send a lad, [saying], Go, find out
 the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows [are] on
 this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for [there is] peace to thee,
 and no hurt; [as] the LORD liveth.
   Samuel-1|20:22  But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows
 [are] beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.
   Samuel-1|20:23  And [as touching] the matter which thou and I have spoken
 of, behold, the LORD [be] between thee and me for ever.
   Samuel-1|20:24  So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon
 was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
   Samuel-1|20:25  And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, [even]
 upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side,
 and David's place was empty.
   Samuel-1|20:26  Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he
 thought, Something hath befallen him, he [is] not clean; surely he [is] not

 clean.
   Samuel-1|20:27  And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the second
 [day] of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto
 Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither
 yesterday, nor to day?
   Samuel-1|20:28  And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked [leave]
 of me [to go] to Bethlehem:
   Samuel-1|20:29  And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath
 a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me [to be
 there]: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I
 pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's
 table.
   Samuel-1|20:30  Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he
 said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman], do not I know
 that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the
 confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
   Samuel-1|20:31  For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground,
 thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and
 fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
   Samuel-1|20:32  And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him,
 Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?

   Samuel-1|20:33  And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby
 Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
   Samuel-1|20:34  So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did
 eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David,
 because his father had done him shame.
   Samuel-1|20:35  And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went
 out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with
 him.
   Samuel-1|20:36  And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows
 which I shoot. [And] as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
   Samuel-1|20:37  And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which
 Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, [Is] not the
 arrow beyond thee?
   Samuel-1|20:38  And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay
 not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
   Samuel-1|20:39  But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David
 knew the matter.
   Samuel-1|20:40  And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said
 unto him, Go, carry [them] to the city.
   Samuel-1|20:41  [And] as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a
 place] toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed

 himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with
 another, until David exceeded.
   Samuel-1|20:42  And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we
 have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between
 me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and
 departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
   Samuel-1|21:1  Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and
 Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why [art]
 thou alone, and no man with thee?
   Samuel-1|21:2  And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath
 commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing
 of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and
 I have appointed [my] servants to such and such a place.
   Samuel-1|21:3  Now therefore what is under thine hand? give [me] five
 [loaves of] bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
   Samuel-1|21:4  And the priest answered David, and said, [There is] no
 common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men
 have kept themselves at least from women.
   Samuel-1|21:5  And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a
 truth women [have been] kept from us about these three days, since I came
 out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and [the bread is] in a

 manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
   Samuel-1|21:6  So the priest gave him hallowed [bread]: for there was no
 bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put
 hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
   Samuel-1|21:7  Now a certain man of the servants of Saul [was] there that
 day, detained before the LORD; and his name [was] Doeg, an Edomite, the
 chiefest of the herdmen that [belonged] to Saul.
   Samuel-1|21:8  And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under
 thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my
 weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
   Samuel-1|21:9  And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine,
 whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it [is here] wrapped in a
 cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take [it]: for [there is]
  [There is] none like that; give it me.
   Samuel-1|21:10  And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and
 went to Achish the king of Gath.
   Samuel-1|21:11  And the servants of Achish said unto him, [Is] not this
 David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in
 dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
   Samuel-1|21:12  And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore
 afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

   Samuel-1|21:13  And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned
 himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let
 his spittle fall down upon his beard.
   Samuel-1|21:14  Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is
 mad: wherefore [then] have ye brought him to me?
   Samuel-1|21:15  Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this
 [fellow] to play the mad man in my presence? shall this [fellow] come into
 my house?
   Samuel-1|22:1  David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave
 Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard [it], they
 went down thither to him.
   Samuel-1|22:2  And every one [that was] in distress, and every one that
 [was] in debt, and every one [that was] discontented, gathered themselves
 unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about
 four hundred men.
   Samuel-1|22:3  And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto
 the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth,
 [and be] with you, till I know what God will do for me.
   Samuel-1|22:4  And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they
 dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
   Samuel-1|22:5  And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the

 hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and
 came into the forest of Hareth.
   Samuel-1|22:6  When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men
 that [were] with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah,
 having his spear in his hand, and all his servants [were] standing about
 him;)
   Samuel-1|22:7  Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him,
 Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields
 and vineyards, [and] make you all captains of thousands, and captains of
 hundreds;
   Samuel-1|22:8  That all of you have conspired against me, and [there is]
 none that showeth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse,
 and [there is] none of you that is sorry for me, or showeth unto me that my
 son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
   Samuel-1|22:9  Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the
 servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to
 Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
   Samuel-1|22:10  And he inquired of the LORD for him, and gave him
 victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
   Samuel-1|22:11  Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son
 of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that [were] in Nob: and

 they came all of them to the king.
   Samuel-1|22:12  And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he
 answered, Here I [am], my lord.
   Samuel-1|22:13  And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me,
 thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword,
 and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in
 wait, as at this day?
   Samuel-1|22:14  Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who [is
 so] faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in
 law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
   Samuel-1|22:15  Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? be it far
 from me: let not the king impute [any] thing unto his servant, [nor] to all
 the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or
 more.
   Samuel-1|22:16  And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech,
 thou, and all thy father's house.
   Samuel-1|22:17  And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him,
 Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also [is] with
 David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not show it to me. But
 the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the
 priests of the LORD.

   Samuel-1|22:18  And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the
 priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and
 slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
   Samuel-1|22:19  And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge
 of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and
 asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
   Samuel-1|22:20  And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named
 Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
   Samuel-1|22:21  And Abiathar showed David that Saul had slain the LORD'S
 priests.
   Samuel-1|22:22  And David said unto Abiathar, I knew [it] that day, when
 Doeg the Edomite [was] there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have
 occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy father's house.
   Samuel-1|22:23  Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life
 seeketh thy life: but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard.
   Samuel-1|23:1  Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines
 fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.
   Samuel-1|23:2  Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go
 and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite
 the Philistines, and save Keilah.
   Samuel-1|23:3  And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here

 in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the
 Philistines?
   Samuel-1|23:4  Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD
 answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah: for I will deliver the
 Philistines into thine hand.
   Samuel-1|23:5  So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the
 Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great
 slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
   Samuel-1|23:6  And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech
 fled to David to Keilah, [that] he came down [with] an ephod in his hand.
   Samuel-1|23:7  And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And
 Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by
 entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
   Samuel-1|23:8  And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down
 to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
   Samuel-1|23:9  And David knew that Saul secretly practiced mischief
 against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
   Samuel-1|23:10  Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath
 certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city
 for my sake.
   Samuel-1|23:11  Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will

 Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech
 thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down.
   Samuel-1|23:12  Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my
 men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver [thee] up.
   Samuel-1|23:13  Then David and his men, [which were] about six hundred,
 arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And
 it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go
 forth.
   Samuel-1|23:14  And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and
 remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every
 day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
   Samuel-1|23:15  And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life:
 and David [was] in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
   Samuel-1|23:16  And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the
 wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
   Samuel-1|23:17  And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my
 father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall
 be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
   Samuel-1|23:18  And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David
 abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
   Samuel-1|23:19  Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth

 not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of
 Hachilah, which [is] on the south of Jeshimon?
   Samuel-1|23:20  Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the
 desire of thy soul to come down; and our part [shall be] to deliver him
 into the king's hand.
   Samuel-1|23:21  And Saul said, Blessed [be] ye of the LORD; for ye have
 compassion on me.
   Samuel-1|23:22  Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place
 where his haunt is, [and] who hath seen him there: for it is told me [that]
 he dealeth very subtly.
   Samuel-1|23:23  See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking
 places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty,
 and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land,
 that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
   Samuel-1|23:24  And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David
 and his men [were] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of
 Jeshimon.
   Samuel-1|23:25  Saul also and his men went to seek [him]. And they told
 David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of
 Maon. And when Saul heard [that], he pursued after David in the wilderness
 of Maon.

   Samuel-1|23:26  And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and
 his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for
 fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about
 to take them.
   Samuel-1|23:27  But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee,
 and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
   Samuel-1|23:28  Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and
 went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place
 Selahammahlekoth.
   Samuel-1|23:29  And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds
 at Engedi.
   Samuel-1|24:1  And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following
 the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David [is] in the
 wilderness of Engedi.
   Samuel-1|24:2  Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all
 Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild
 goats.
   Samuel-1|24:3  And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where [was] a
 cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in
 the sides of the cave.
   Samuel-1|24:4  And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of

 which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into
 thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee.
 Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
   Samuel-1|24:5  And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote
 him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
   Samuel-1|24:6  And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do
 this thing unto my master, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch forth mine hand
 against him, seeing he [is] the anointed of the LORD.
   Samuel-1|24:7  So David stayed his servants with these words, and
 suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave,
 and went on [his] way.
   Samuel-1|24:8  David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and
 cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind
 him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
   Samuel-1|24:9  And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's
 words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
   Samuel-1|24:10  Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD
 had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and [some] bade [me]
 kill thee: but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth
 mine hand against my lord; for he [is] the LORD'S anointed.
   Samuel-1|24:11  Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe

 in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee
 not, know thou and see that [there is] neither evil nor transgression in
 mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to
 take it.
   Samuel-1|24:12  The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge
 me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
   Samuel-1|24:13  As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness
 proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
   Samuel-1|24:14  After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom
 dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
   Samuel-1|24:15  The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and
 thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.
   Samuel-1|24:16  And it came to pass, when David had made an end of
 speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, [Is] this thy voice, my son
 David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
   Samuel-1|24:17  And he said to David, Thou [art] more righteous than I:
 for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
   Samuel-1|24:18  And thou hast showed this day how that thou hast dealt
 well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand,
 thou killedst me not.
   Samuel-1|24:19  For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well

 away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me
 this day.
   Samuel-1|24:20  And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be
 king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.
   Samuel-1|24:21  Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt
 not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of
 my father's house.
   Samuel-1|24:22  And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David
 and his men gat them up unto the hold.
   Samuel-1|25:1  And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered
 together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David
 arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
   Samuel-1|25:2  And [there was] a man in Maon, whose possessions [were] in
 Carmel; and the man [was] very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and
 a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
   Samuel-1|25:3  Now the name of the man [was] Nabal; and the name of his
 wife Abigail: and [she was] a woman of good understanding, and of a
 beautiful countenance: but the man [was] churlish and evil in his doings;
 and he [was] of the house of Caleb.
   Samuel-1|25:4  And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his
 sheep.

   Samuel-1|25:5  And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the
 young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
   Samuel-1|25:6  And thus shall ye say to him that liveth [in prosperity],
 Peace [be] both to thee, and peace [be] to thine house, and peace [be] unto
 all that thou hast.
   Samuel-1|25:7  And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy
 shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought
 missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
   Samuel-1|25:8  Ask thy young men, and they will show thee. Wherefore let
 the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I
 pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy
 son David.
   Samuel-1|25:9  And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal
 according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
   Samuel-1|25:10  And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who [is]
 David? and who [is] the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days
 that break away every man from his master.
   Samuel-1|25:11  Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh
 that I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] unto men, whom I know not
 whence they [be]?
   Samuel-1|25:12  So David's young men turned their way, and went again,

 and came and told him all those sayings.
   Samuel-1|25:13  And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his
 sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his
 sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two
 hundred abode by the stuff.
   Samuel-1|25:14  But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife,
 saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our
 master; and he railed on them.
   Samuel-1|25:15  But the men [were] very good unto us, and we were not
 hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them,
 when we were in the fields:
   Samuel-1|25:16  They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the
 while we were with them keeping the sheep.
   Samuel-1|25:17  Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for
 evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for
 he [is such] a son of Belial, that [a man] cannot speak to him.
   Samuel-1|25:18  Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and
 two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of
 parched [corn], and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes
 of figs, and laid [them] on asses.
   Samuel-1|25:19  And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold,

 I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
   Samuel-1|25:20  And it was [so, as] she rode on the ass, that she came
 down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down
 against her; and she met them.
   Samuel-1|25:21  Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that
 this [fellow] hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all
 that [pertained] unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
   Samuel-1|25:22  So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I
 leave of all that [pertain] to him by the morning light any that pisseth
 against the wall.
   Samuel-1|25:23  And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off
 the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the
 ground,
   Samuel-1|25:24  And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon]
 me [let this] iniquity [be]: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in
 thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
   Samuel-1|25:25  Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial,
 [even] Nabal: for as his name [is], so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and
 folly [is] with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord,
 whom thou didst send.
   Samuel-1|25:26  Now therefore, my lord, [as] the LORD liveth, and [as]

 thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to [shed]
 blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine
 enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
   Samuel-1|25:27  And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought
 unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
   Samuel-1|25:28  I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for
 the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth
 the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee [all] thy
 days.
   Samuel-1|25:29  Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul:
 but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD
 thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, [as out]
 of the middle of a sling.
   Samuel-1|25:30  And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done
 to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee,
 and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
   Samuel-1|25:31  That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of
 heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my
 lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my
 lord, then remember thine handmaid.
   Samuel-1|25:32  And David said to Abigail, Blessed [be] the LORD God of

 Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
   Samuel-1|25:33  And blessed [be] thy advice, and blessed [be] thou, which
 hast kept me this day from coming to [shed] blood, and from avenging myself
 with mine own hand.
   Samuel-1|25:34  For in very deed, [as] the LORD God of Israel liveth,
 which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and
 come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning
 light any that pisseth against the wall.
   Samuel-1|25:35  So David received of her hand [that] which she had
 brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have
 hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
   Samuel-1|25:36  And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast
 in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart [was] merry
 within him, for he [was] very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less
 or more, until the morning light.
   Samuel-1|25:37  But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was
 gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart
 died within him, and he became [as] a stone.
   Samuel-1|25:38  And it came to pass about ten days [after], that the LORD
 smote Nabal, that he died.
   Samuel-1|25:39  And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said,

 Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the
 hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath
 returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and
 communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
   Samuel-1|25:40  And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to
 Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee
 to him to wife.
   Samuel-1|25:41  And she arose, and bowed herself on [her] face to the
 earth, and said, Behold, [let] thine handmaid [be] a servant to wash the
 feet of the servants of my lord.
   Samuel-1|25:42  And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with
 five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers
 of David, and became his wife.
   Samuel-1|25:43  David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also
 both of them his wives.
   Samuel-1|25:44  But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to
 Phalti the son of Laish, which [was] of Gallim.
   Samuel-1|26:1  And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth
 not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, [which is] before Jeshimon?
   Samuel-1|26:2  Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph,
 having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the

 wilderness of Ziph.
   Samuel-1|26:3  And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which [is]
 before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw
 that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
   Samuel-1|26:4  David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul
 was come in very deed.
   Samuel-1|26:5  And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had
 pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of
 Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people
 pitched round about him.
   Samuel-1|26:6  Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and
 to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down
 with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
   Samuel-1|26:7  So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and,
 behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the
 ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
   Samuel-1|26:8  Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy
 into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with
 the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not [smite] him the second
 time.
   Samuel-1|26:9  And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can

 stretch forth his hand against the LORD'S anointed, and be guiltless?
   Samuel-1|26:10  David said furthermore, [As] the LORD liveth, the LORD
 shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into
 battle, and perish.
   Samuel-1|26:11  The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand
 against the LORD'S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that
 [is] at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
   Samuel-1|26:12  So David took the spear and the cruse of water from
 Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw [it], nor knew [it],
 neither awaked: for they [were] all asleep; because a deep sleep from the
 LORD was fallen upon them.
   Samuel-1|26:13  Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the
 top of an hill afar off; a great space [being] between them:
   Samuel-1|26:14  And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of
 Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who
 [art] thou [that] criest to the king?
   Samuel-1|26:15  And David said to Abner, [Art] not thou a [valiant] man?
 and who [is] like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy
 lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy
 lord.
   Samuel-1|26:16  This thing [is] not good that thou hast done. [As] the

 LORD liveth, ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master,
 the LORD'S anointed. And now see where the king's spear [is], and the cruse
 of water that [was] at his bolster.
   Samuel-1|26:17  And Saul knew David's voice, and said, [Is] this thy
 voice, my son David? And David said, [It is] my voice, my lord, O king.
   Samuel-1|26:18  And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his
 servant? for what have I done? or what evil [is] in mine hand?
   Samuel-1|26:19  Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the
 words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him
 accept an offering: but if [they be] the children of men, cursed [be] they
 before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the
 inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
   Samuel-1|26:20  Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before
 the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as
 when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
   Samuel-1|26:21  Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for
 I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes
 this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
   Samuel-1|26:22  And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and
 let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
   Samuel-1|26:23  The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his

 faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into [my] hand to day, but I
 would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD'S anointed.
   Samuel-1|26:24  And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine
 eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him
 deliver me out of all tribulation.
   Samuel-1|26:25  Then Saul said to David, Blessed [be] thou, my son David:
 thou shalt both do great [things], and also shalt still prevail. So David
 went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
   Samuel-1|27:1  And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by
 the hand of Saul: [there is] nothing better for me than that I should
 speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of
 me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of
 his hand.
   Samuel-1|27:2  And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred
 men that [were] with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
   Samuel-1|27:3  And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every
 man with his household, [even] David with his two wives, Ahinoam the
 Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
   Samuel-1|27:4  And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he
 sought no more again for him.
   Samuel-1|27:5  And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in

 thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I
 may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with
 thee?
   Samuel-1|27:6  Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag
 pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
   Samuel-1|27:7  And the time that David dwelt in the country of the
 Philistines was a full year and four months.
   Samuel-1|27:8  And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites,
 and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those [nations were] of old the
 inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of
 Egypt.
   Samuel-1|27:9  And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman
 alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the
 camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
   Samuel-1|27:10  And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And
 David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the
 Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
   Samuel-1|27:11  And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring
 [tidings] to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did
 David, and so [will be] his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country
 of the Philistines.

   Samuel-1|27:12  And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his
 people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for
 ever.
   Samuel-1|28:1  And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines
 gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And
 Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me
 to battle, thou and thy men.
   Samuel-1|28:2  And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy
 servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper
 of mine head for ever.
   Samuel-1|28:3  Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and
 buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that
 had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
   Samuel-1|28:4  And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came
 and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they
 pitched in Gilboa.
   Samuel-1|28:5  And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was
 afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
   Samuel-1|28:6  And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him
 not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
   Samuel-1|28:7  Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that

 hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his
 servants said to him, Behold, [there is] a woman that hath a familiar
 spirit at Endor.
   Samuel-1|28:8  And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and
 he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he
 said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me
 [him] up, whom I shall name unto thee.
   Samuel-1|28:9  And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what
 Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and
 the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my
 life, to cause me to die?
   Samuel-1|28:10  And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, [As] the LORD
 liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
   Samuel-1|28:11  Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And
 he said, Bring me up Samuel.
   Samuel-1|28:12  And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud
 voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for
 thou [art] Saul.
   Samuel-1|28:13  And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what
 sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the
 earth.

   Samuel-1|28:14  And he said unto her, What form [is] he of? And she said,
 An old man cometh up; and he [is] covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived
 that it [was] Samuel, and he stooped with [his] face to the ground, and
 bowed himself.
   Samuel-1|28:15  And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to
 bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines
 make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more,
 neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou
 mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
   Samuel-1|28:16  Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me,
 seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
   Samuel-1|28:17  And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the
 LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy
 neighbour, [even] to David:
   Samuel-1|28:18  Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor
 executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this
 thing unto thee this day.
   Samuel-1|28:19  Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into
 the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow [shalt] thou and thy sons [be]
 with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of
 the Philistines.

   Samuel-1|28:20  Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and
 was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength
 in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
   Samuel-1|28:21  And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore
 troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice,
 and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which
 thou spakest unto me.
   Samuel-1|28:22  Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the
 voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and
 eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.
   Samuel-1|28:23  But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his
 servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto
 their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
   Samuel-1|28:24  And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she
 hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded [it], and did bake
 unleavened bread thereof:
   Samuel-1|28:25  And she brought [it] before Saul, and before his
 servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
   Samuel-1|29:1  Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to
 Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which [is] in Jezreel.
   Samuel-1|29:2  And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds,

 and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with
 Achish.
   Samuel-1|29:3  Then said the princes of the Philistines, What [do] these
 Hebrews [here]? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, [Is]
 not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been
 with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since
 he fell [unto me] unto this day?
   Samuel-1|29:4  And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him;
 and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return,
 that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let
 him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to
 us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? [should it]
 not [be] with the heads of these men?
   Samuel-1|29:5  [Is] not this David, of whom they sang one to another in
 dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
   Samuel-1|29:6  Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, [as]
 the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming
 in with me in the host [is] good in my sight: for I have not found evil in
 thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the
 lords favour thee not.
   Samuel-1|29:7  Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease

 not the lords of the Philistines.
   Samuel-1|29:8  And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what
 hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this
 day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
   Samuel-1|29:9  And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou
 [art] good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of
 the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
   Samuel-1|29:10  Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy
 master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in
 the morning, and have light, depart.
   Samuel-1|29:11  So David and his men rose up early to depart in the
 morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines
 went up to Jezreel.
   Samuel-1|30:1  And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to
 Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and
 Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
   Samuel-1|30:2  And had taken the women captives, that [were] therein:
 they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went
 on their way.
   Samuel-1|30:3  So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, [it
 was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their

 daughters, were taken captives.
   Samuel-1|30:4  Then David and the people that [were] with him lifted up
 their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
   Samuel-1|30:5  And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the
 Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
   Samuel-1|30:6  And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of
 stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for
 his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD
 his God.
   Samuel-1|30:7  And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I
 pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the
 ephod to David.
   Samuel-1|30:8  And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue
 after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for
 thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
   Samuel-1|30:9  So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with
 him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
   Samuel-1|30:10  But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two
 hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the
 brook Besor.
   Samuel-1|30:11  And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him

 to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink
 water;
   Samuel-1|30:12  And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two
 clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him:
 for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk [any] water, three days and three
 nights.
   Samuel-1|30:13  And David said unto him, To whom [belongest] thou? and
 whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an
 Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
   Samuel-1|30:14  We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites,
 and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of
 Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
   Samuel-1|30:15  And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this
 company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me,
 nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to
 this company.
   Samuel-1|30:16  And when he had brought him down, behold, [they were]
 spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because
 of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the
 Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
   Samuel-1|30:17  And David smote them from the twilight even unto the

 evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four
 hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
   Samuel-1|30:18  And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried
 away: and David rescued his two wives.
   Samuel-1|30:19  And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor
 great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they
 had taken to them: David recovered all.
   Samuel-1|30:20  And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they
 drave before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil.
   Samuel-1|30:21  And David came to the two hundred men, which were so
 faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at
 the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people
 that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted
 them.
   Samuel-1|30:22  Then answered all the wicked men and [men] of Belial, of
 those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we
 will not give them [ought] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to
 every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and
 depart.
   Samuel-1|30:23  Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with
 that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the

 company that came against us into our hand.
   Samuel-1|30:24  For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his
 part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that
 tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
   Samuel-1|30:25  And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a
 statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
   Samuel-1|30:26  And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto
 the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for
 you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
   Samuel-1|30:27  To [them] which [were] in Bethel, and to [them] which
 [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] which [were] in Jattir,
   Samuel-1|30:28  And to [them] which [were] in Aroer, and to [them] which
 [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] which [were] in Eshtemoa,
   Samuel-1|30:29  And to [them] which [were] in Rachal, and to [them] which
 [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] which [were] in
 the cities of the Kenites,
   Samuel-1|30:30  And to [them] which [were] in Hormah, and to [them] which
 [were] in Chorashan, and to [them] which [were] in Athach,
   Samuel-1|30:31  And to [them] which [were] in Hebron, and to all the
 places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
   Samuel-1|31:1  Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of

 Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount
 Gilboa.
   Samuel-1|31:2  And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his
 sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua,
 Saul's sons.
   Samuel-1|31:3  And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit
 him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
   Samuel-1|31:4  Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and
 thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me
 through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore
 afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
   Samuel-1|31:5  And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell
 likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
   Samuel-1|31:6  So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer,
 and all his men, that same day together.
   Samuel-1|31:7  And when the men of Israel that [were] on the other side
 of the valley, and [they] that [were] on the other side Jordan, saw that
 the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook
 the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
   Samuel-1|31:8  And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines
 came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in

 mount Gilboa.
   Samuel-1|31:9  And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour,
 and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish [it in]
 the house of their idols, and among the people.
   Samuel-1|31:10  And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and
 they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
   Samuel-1|31:11  And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that
 which the Philistines had done to Saul;
   Samuel-1|31:12  All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took
 the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and
 came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
   Samuel-1|31:13  And they took their bones, and buried [them] under a tree
 at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
   Samuel-2|1:1  Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was
 returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days
 in Ziklag;
   Samuel-2|1:2  It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man
 came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his
 head: and [so] it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth,
 and did obeisance.
   Samuel-2|1:3  And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he

 said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
   Samuel-2|1:4  And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee,
 tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and
 many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son
 are dead also.
   Samuel-2|1:5  And David said unto the young man that told him, How
 knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
   Samuel-2|1:6  And the young man that told him said, As I happened by
 chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the
 chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
   Samuel-2|1:7  And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto
 me. And I answered, Here [am] I.
   Samuel-2|1:8  And he said unto me, Who [art] thou? And I answered him, I
 [am] an Amalekite.
   Samuel-2|1:9  He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and
 slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life [is] yet whole in me.
   Samuel-2|1:10  So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that
 he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that [was]
 upon his head, and the bracelet that [was] on his arm, and have brought
 them hither unto my lord.
   Samuel-2|1:11  Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and

 likewise all the men that [were] with him:
   Samuel-2|1:12  And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for
 Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the
 house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
   Samuel-2|1:13  And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence
 [art] thou? And he answered, I [am] the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
   Samuel-2|1:14  And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to
 stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD'S anointed?
   Samuel-2|1:15  And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near,
 [and] fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
   Samuel-2|1:16  And David said unto him, Thy blood [be] upon thy head; for
 thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD'S
 anointed.
   Samuel-2|1:17  And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and
 over Jonathan his son:
   Samuel-2|1:18  (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah [the use
 of] the bow: behold, [it is] written in the book of Jasher.)
   Samuel-2|1:19  The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how
 are the mighty fallen!
   Samuel-2|1:20  Tell [it] not in Gath, publish [it] not in the streets of
 Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters

 of the uncircumcised triumph.
   Samuel-2|1:21  Ye mountains of Gilboa, [let there be] no dew, neither
 [let there be] rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the
 shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, [as though he
 had] not [been] anointed with oil.
   Samuel-2|1:22  From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty,
 the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not
 empty.
   Samuel-2|1:23  Saul and Jonathan [were] lovely and pleasant in their
 lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than
 eagles, they were stronger than lions.
   Samuel-2|1:24  Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in
 scarlet, with [other] delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your
 apparel.
   Samuel-2|1:25  How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O
 Jonathan, [thou wast] slain in thine high places.
   Samuel-2|1:26  I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very
 pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the
 love of women.
   Samuel-2|1:27  How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war
 perished!

   Samuel-2|2:1  And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the
 LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD
 said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said,
 Unto Hebron.
   Samuel-2|2:2  So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam
 the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
   Samuel-2|2:3  And his men that [were] with him did David bring up, every
 man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
   Samuel-2|2:4  And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David
 king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, [That] the men
 of Jabeshgilead [were they] that buried Saul.
   Samuel-2|2:5  And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and
 said unto them, Blessed [be] ye of the LORD, that ye have showed this
 kindness unto your lord, [even] unto Saul, and have buried him.
   Samuel-2|2:6  And now the LORD show kindness and truth unto you: and I
 also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
   Samuel-2|2:7  Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye
 valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have
 anointed me king over them.
   Samuel-2|2:8  But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took
 Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;

   Samuel-2|2:9  And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and
 over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
   Samuel-2|2:10  Ishbosheth Saul's son [was] forty years old when he began
 to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah
 followed David.
   Samuel-2|2:11  And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house
 of Judah was seven years and six months.
   Samuel-2|2:12  And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth
 the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
   Samuel-2|2:13  And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David,
 went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the
 one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the
 pool.
   Samuel-2|2:14  And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and
 play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
   Samuel-2|2:15  Then there arose and went over by number twelve of
 Benjamin, which [pertained] to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of
 the servants of David.
   Samuel-2|2:16  And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and
 [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together:
 wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which [is] in Gibeon.

   Samuel-2|2:17  And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was
 beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
   Samuel-2|2:18  And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and
 Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel [was as] light of foot as a wild roe.
   Samuel-2|2:19  And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not
 to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
   Samuel-2|2:20  Then Abner looked behind him, and said, [Art] thou Asahel?
 And he answered, I [am].
   Samuel-2|2:21  And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand
 or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee
 his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
   Samuel-2|2:22  And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from
 following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should
 I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
   Samuel-2|2:23  Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the
 hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth [rib], that the spear
 came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place:
 and it came to pass, [that] as many as came to the place where Asahel fell
 down and died stood still.
   Samuel-2|2:24  Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun
 went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that [lieth] before

 Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
   Samuel-2|2:25  And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together
 after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
   Samuel-2|2:26  Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword
 devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter
 end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from
 following their brethren?
   Samuel-2|2:27  And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken,
 surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following
 his brother.
   Samuel-2|2:28  So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still,
 and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
   Samuel-2|2:29  And Abner and his men walked all that night through the
 plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came
 to Mahanaim.
   Samuel-2|2:30  And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had
 gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen
 men and Asahel.
   Samuel-2|2:31  But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of
 Abner's men, [so that] three hundred and threescore men died.
   Samuel-2|2:32  And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre

 of his father, which [was in] Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all
 night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
   Samuel-2|3:1  Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the
 house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of
 Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
   Samuel-2|3:2  And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn
 was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
   Samuel-2|3:3  And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the
 Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai
 king of Geshur;
   Samuel-2|3:4  And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth,
 Shephatiah the son of Abital;
   Samuel-2|3:5  And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were
 born to David in Hebron.
   Samuel-2|3:6  And it came to pass, while there was war between the house
 of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the
 house of Saul.
   Samuel-2|3:7  And Saul had a concubine, whose name [was] Rizpah, the
 daughter of Aiah: and [Ishbosheth] said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone
 in unto my father's concubine?
   Samuel-2|3:8  Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and

 said, [Am] I a dog's head, which against Judah do show kindness this day
 unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and
 have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to
 day with a fault concerning this woman?
   Samuel-2|3:9  So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath
 sworn to David, even so I do to him;
   Samuel-2|3:10  To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to
 set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to
 Beersheba.
   Samuel-2|3:11  And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he
 feared him.
   Samuel-2|3:12  And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying,
 Whose [is] the land? saying [also], Make thy league with me, and, behold,
 my hand [shall be] with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.
   Samuel-2|3:13  And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one
 thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou
 first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
   Samuel-2|3:14  And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son,
 saying, Deliver [me] my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred
 foreskins of the Philistines.
   Samuel-2|3:15  And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from [her] husband,

 [even] from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
   Samuel-2|3:16  And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to
 Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
   Samuel-2|3:17  And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel,
 saying, Ye sought for David in times past [to be] king over you:
   Samuel-2|3:18  Now then do [it]: for the LORD hath spoken of David,
 saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of
 the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
   Samuel-2|3:19  And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner
 went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to
 Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
   Samuel-2|3:20  So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him.
 And David made Abner and the men that [were] with him a feast.
   Samuel-2|3:21  And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will
 gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with
 thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And
 David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
   Samuel-2|3:22  And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from
 [pursuing] a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner [was]
 not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in
 peace.

   Samuel-2|3:23  When Joab and all the host that [was] with him were come,
 they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath
 sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
   Samuel-2|3:24  Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done?
 behold, Abner came unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast sent him away,
 and he is quite gone?
   Samuel-2|3:25  Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive
 thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that
 thou doest.
   Samuel-2|3:26  And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers
 after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew
 [it] not.
   Samuel-2|3:27  And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside
 in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth
 [rib], that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
   Samuel-2|3:28  And afterward when David heard [it], he said, I and my
 kingdom [are] guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner
 the son of Ner:
   Samuel-2|3:29  Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's
 house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an
 issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on

 the sword, or that lacketh bread.
   Samuel-2|3:30  So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had
 slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
   Samuel-2|3:31  And David said to Joab, and to all the people that [were]
 with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before
 Abner. And king David [himself] followed the bier.
   Samuel-2|3:32  And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up
 his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
   Samuel-2|3:33  And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as
 a fool dieth?
   Samuel-2|3:34  Thy hands [were] not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters:
 as a man falleth before wicked men, [so] fellest thou. And all the people
 wept again over him.
   Samuel-2|3:35  And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat
 while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also,
 if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
   Samuel-2|3:36  And all the people took notice [of it], and it pleased
 them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
   Samuel-2|3:37  For all the people and all Israel understood that day that
 it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
   Samuel-2|3:38  And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that

 there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
   Samuel-2|3:39  And I [am] this day weak, though anointed king; and these
 men the sons of Zeruiah [be] too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the
 doer of evil according to his wickedness.
   Samuel-2|4:1  And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron,
 his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
   Samuel-2|4:2  And Saul's son had two men [that were] captains of bands:
 the name of the one [was] Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the
 sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also
 was reckoned to Benjamin.
   Samuel-2|4:3  And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners
 there until this day.)
   Samuel-2|4:4  And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son [that was] lame of
 [his] feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and
 Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came
 to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his
 name [was] Mephibosheth.
   Samuel-2|4:5  And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah,
 went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who
 lay on a bed at noon.
   Samuel-2|4:6  And they came thither into the midst of the house, [as

 though] they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth
 [rib]: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
   Samuel-2|4:7  For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his
 bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took
 his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
   Samuel-2|4:8  And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to
 Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul
 thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the
 king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
   Samuel-2|4:9  And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons
 of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, [As] the LORD liveth, who
 hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
   Samuel-2|4:10  When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking
 to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag,
 who [thought] that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
   Samuel-2|4:11  How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous
 person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his
 blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
   Samuel-2|4:12  And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and
 cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged [them] up over the pool in
 Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried [it] in the

 sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
   Samuel-2|5:1  Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron,
 and spake, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.
   Samuel-2|5:2  Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he
 that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou
 shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
   Samuel-2|5:3  So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and
 king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they
 anointed David king over Israel.
   Samuel-2|5:4  David [was] thirty years old when he began to reign, [and]
 he reigned forty years.
   Samuel-2|5:5  In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months:
 and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and
 Judah.
   Samuel-2|5:6  And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the
 Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying,
 Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in
 hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.
   Samuel-2|5:7  Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same
 [is] the city of David.
   Samuel-2|5:8  And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the

 gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, [that are]
 hated of David's soul, [he shall be chief and captain]. Wherefore they
 said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
   Samuel-2|5:9  So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of
 David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
   Samuel-2|5:10  And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of
 hosts [was] with him.
   Samuel-2|5:11  And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar
 trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.
   Samuel-2|5:12  And David perceived that the LORD had established him king
 over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's
 sake.
   Samuel-2|5:13  And David took [him] more concubines and wives out of
 Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and
 daughters born to David.
   Samuel-2|5:14  And these [be] the names of those that were born unto him
 in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
   Samuel-2|5:15  Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
   Samuel-2|5:16  And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
   Samuel-2|5:17  But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed
 David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and

 David heard [of it], and went down to the hold.
   Samuel-2|5:18  The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the
 valley of Rephaim.
   Samuel-2|5:19  And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to
 the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said
 unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine
 hand.
   Samuel-2|5:20  And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there,
 and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the
 breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
   Samuel-2|5:21  And there they left their images, and David and his men
 burned them.
   Samuel-2|5:22  And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread
 themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
   Samuel-2|5:23  And when David inquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt
 not go up; [but] fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over
 against the mulberry trees.
   Samuel-2|5:24  And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in
 the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for
 then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the
 Philistines.

   Samuel-2|5:25  And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote
 the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
   Samuel-2|6:1  Again, David gathered together all [the] chosen [men] of
 Israel, thirty thousand.
   Samuel-2|6:2  And David arose, and went with all the people that [were]
 with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose
 name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth [between] the
 cherubims.
   Samuel-2|6:3  And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it
 out of the house of Abinadab that [was] in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the
 sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
   Samuel-2|6:4  And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which
 [was] at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
   Samuel-2|6:5  And David and all the house of Israel played before the
 LORD on all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, even on harps, and on
 psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
   Samuel-2|6:6  And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put
 forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook
 [it].
   Samuel-2|6:7  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and
 God smote him there for [his] error; and there he died by the ark of God.

   Samuel-2|6:8  And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a
 breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this
 day.
   Samuel-2|6:9  And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How
 shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
   Samuel-2|6:10  So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him
 into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of
 Obededom the Gittite.
   Samuel-2|6:11  And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom
 the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his
 household.
   Samuel-2|6:12  And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed
 the house of Obededom, and all that [pertaineth] unto him, because of the
 ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of
 Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
   Samuel-2|6:13  And it was [so], that when they that bare the ark of the
 LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
   Samuel-2|6:14  And David danced before the LORD with all [his] might; and
 David [was] girded with a linen ephod.
   Samuel-2|6:15  So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of
 the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

   Samuel-2|6:16  And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David,
 Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping
 and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
   Samuel-2|6:17  And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his
 place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and
 David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
   Samuel-2|6:18  And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt
 offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the
 LORD of hosts.
   Samuel-2|6:19  And he dealt among all the people, [even] among the whole
 multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of
 bread, and a good piece [of flesh], and a flagon [of wine]. So all the
 people departed every one to his house.
   Samuel-2|6:20  Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the
 daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the
 king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the
 handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly
 uncovereth himself!
   Samuel-2|6:21  And David said unto Michal, [It was] before the LORD,
 which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me
 ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play

 before the LORD.
   Samuel-2|6:22  And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in
 mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them
 shall I be had in honour.
   Samuel-2|6:23  Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto
 the day of her death.
   Samuel-2|7:1  And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and
 the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
   Samuel-2|7:2  That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I
 dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
   Samuel-2|7:3  And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that [is] in thine
 heart; for the LORD [is] with thee.
   Samuel-2|7:4  And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD
 came unto Nathan, saying,
   Samuel-2|7:5  Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt
 thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
   Samuel-2|7:6  Whereas I have not dwelt in [any] house since the time that
 I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but
 have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
   Samuel-2|7:7  In all [the places] wherein I have walked with all the
 children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I

 commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of
 cedar?
   Samuel-2|7:8  Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus
 saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the
 sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
   Samuel-2|7:9  And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have
 cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great
 name, like unto the name of the great [men] that [are] in the earth.
   Samuel-2|7:10  Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and
 will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no
 more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as
 beforetime,
   Samuel-2|7:11  And as since the time that I commanded judges [to be] over
 my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also
 the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
   Samuel-2|7:12  And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with
 thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of
 thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
   Samuel-2|7:13  He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish
 the throne of his kingdom for ever.
   Samuel-2|7:14  I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit

 iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of
 the children of men:
   Samuel-2|7:15  But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took
 [it] from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
   Samuel-2|7:16  And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for
 ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
   Samuel-2|7:17  According to all these words, and according to all this
 vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
   Samuel-2|7:18  Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he
 said, Who [am] I, O Lord GOD? and what [is] my house, that thou hast
 brought me hitherto?
   Samuel-2|7:19  And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD;
 but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come.
 And [is] this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
   Samuel-2|7:20  And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD,
 knowest thy servant.
   Samuel-2|7:21  For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart,
 hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know [them].
   Samuel-2|7:22  Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for [there is] none
 like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee, according to all that we
 have heard with our ears.

   Samuel-2|7:23  And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people,
 [even] like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to
 make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land,
 before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, [from] the
 nations and their gods?
   Samuel-2|7:24  For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel [to
 be] a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.
   Samuel-2|7:25  And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken
 concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish [it] for ever,
 and do as thou hast said.
   Samuel-2|7:26  And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD
 of hosts [is] the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David
 be established before thee.
   Samuel-2|7:27  For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to
 thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant
 found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
   Samuel-2|7:28  And now, O Lord GOD, thou [art] that God, and thy words be
 true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
   Samuel-2|7:29  Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy
 servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD,
 hast spoken [it]: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be

 blessed for ever.
   Samuel-2|8:1  And after this it came to pass, that David smote the
 Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand
 of the Philistines.
   Samuel-2|8:2  And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting
 them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death,
 and with one full line to keep alive. And [so] the Moabites became David's
 servants, [and] brought gifts.
   Samuel-2|8:3  David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of
 Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
   Samuel-2|8:4  And David took from him a thousand [chariots], and seven
 hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David hocked all the
 chariot [horses], but reserved of them [for] an hundred chariots.
   Samuel-2|8:5  And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer
 king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
   Samuel-2|8:6  Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the
 Syrians became servants to David, [and] brought gifts. And the LORD
 preserved David whithersoever he went.
   Samuel-2|8:7  And David took the shields of gold that were on the
 servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|8:8  And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer,

 king David took exceeding much brass.
   Samuel-2|8:9  When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all
 the host of Hadadezer,
   Samuel-2|8:10  Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute
 him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten
 him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And [Joram] brought with him vessels
 of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
   Samuel-2|8:11  Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the
 silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
   Samuel-2|8:12  Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and
 of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of
 Rehob, king of Zobah.
   Samuel-2|8:13  And David gat [him] a name when he returned from smiting
 of the Syrians in the valley of salt, [being] eighteen thousand [men].
   Samuel-2|8:14  And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he
 garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD
 preserved David whithersoever he went.
   Samuel-2|8:15  And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed
 judgment and justice unto all his people.
   Samuel-2|8:16  And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and
 Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder;

   Samuel-2|8:17  And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of
 Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Seraiah [was] the scribe;
   Samuel-2|8:18  And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was over] both the
 Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
   Samuel-2|9:1  And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house
 of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
   Samuel-2|9:2  And [there was] of the house of Saul a servant whose name
 [was] Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto
 him, [Art] thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant [is he].
   Samuel-2|9:3  And the king said, [Is] there not yet any of the house of
 Saul, that I may show the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the
 king, Jonathan hath yet a son, [which is] lame on [his] feet.
   Samuel-2|9:4  And the king said unto him, Where [is] he? And Ziba said
 unto the king, Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel,
 in Lodebar.
   Samuel-2|9:5  Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of
 Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
   Samuel-2|9:6  Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of
 Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And
 David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
   Samuel-2|9:7  And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely show

 thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the
 land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
   Samuel-2|9:8  And he bowed himself, and said, What [is] thy servant, that
 thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I [am]?
   Samuel-2|9:9  Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto
 him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to
 all his house.
   Samuel-2|9:10  Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till
 the land for him, and thou shalt bring in [the fruits], that thy master's
 son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread
 alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
   Samuel-2|9:11  Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my
 lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for
 Mephibosheth, [said the king], he shall eat at my table, as one of the
 king's sons.
   Samuel-2|9:12  And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name [was] Micha.
 And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba [were] servants unto Mephibosheth.
   Samuel-2|9:13  So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat
 continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
   Samuel-2|10:1  And it came to pass after this, that the king of the
 children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

   Samuel-2|10:2  Then said David, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son
 of Nahash, as his father showed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort
 him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came
 into the land of the children of Ammon.
   Samuel-2|10:3  And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun
 their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath
 sent comforters unto thee? hath not David [rather] sent his servants unto
 thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
   Samuel-2|10:4  Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the
 one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, [even]
 to their buttocks, and sent them away.
   Samuel-2|10:5  When they told [it] unto David, he sent to meet them,
 because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho
 until your beards be grown, and [then] return.
   Samuel-2|10:6  And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before
 David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and
 the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand
 men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
   Samuel-2|10:7  And when David heard of [it], he sent Joab, and all the
 host of the mighty men.
   Samuel-2|10:8  And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in

 array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of
 Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, [were] by themselves in the field.
   Samuel-2|10:9  When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him
 before and behind, he chose of all the choice [men] of Israel, and put
 [them] in array against the Syrians:
   Samuel-2|10:10  And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of
 Abishai his brother, that he might put [them] in array against the children
 of Ammon.
   Samuel-2|10:11  And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then
 thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee,
 then I will come and help thee.
   Samuel-2|10:12  Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our
 people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth
 him good.
   Samuel-2|10:13  And Joab drew nigh, and the people that [were] with him,
 unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
   Samuel-2|10:14  And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were
 fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So
 Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|10:15  And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before
 Israel, they gathered themselves together.

   Samuel-2|10:16  And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that
 [were] beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of
 the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.
   Samuel-2|10:17  And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel
 together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set
 themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
   Samuel-2|10:18  And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew [the
 men of] seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen,
 and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
   Samuel-2|10:19  And when all the kings [that were] servants to Hadarezer
 saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and
 served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
   Samuel-2|11:1  And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the
 time when kings go forth [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his
 servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of
 Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|11:2  And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose
 from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from
 the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman [was] very beautiful
 to look upon.
   Samuel-2|11:3  And David sent and inquired after the woman. And [one]

 said, [Is] not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the
 Hittite?
   Samuel-2|11:4  And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in
 unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness:
 and she returned unto her house.
   Samuel-2|11:5  And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and
 said, I [am] with child.
   Samuel-2|11:6  And David sent to Joab, [saying], Send me Uriah the
 Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
   Samuel-2|11:7  And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded [of him]
 how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
   Samuel-2|11:8  And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash
 thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed
 him a mess [of meat] from the king.
   Samuel-2|11:9  But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all
 the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
   Samuel-2|11:10  And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down
 unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from [thy] journey?
 why [then] didst thou not go down unto thine house?
   Samuel-2|11:11  And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and
 Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are

 encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to
 drink, and to lie with my wife? [as] thou livest, and [as] thy soul liveth,
 I will not do this thing.
   Samuel-2|11:12  And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to
 morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and
 the morrow.
   Samuel-2|11:13  And when David had called him, he did eat and drink
 before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his
 bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
   Samuel-2|11:14  And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a
 letter to Joab, and sent [it] by the hand of Uriah.
   Samuel-2|11:15  And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the
 forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be
 smitten, and die.
   Samuel-2|11:16  And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he
 assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men [were].
   Samuel-2|11:17  And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab:
 and there fell [some] of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the
 Hittite died also.
   Samuel-2|11:18  Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning
 the war;

   Samuel-2|11:19  And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an
 end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
   Samuel-2|11:20  And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto
 thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew
 ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
   Samuel-2|11:21  Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a
 woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in
 Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the
 Hittite is dead also.
   Samuel-2|11:22  So the messenger went, and came and showed David all that
 Joab had sent him for.
   Samuel-2|11:23  And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men
 prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon
 them even unto the entering of the gate.
   Samuel-2|11:24  And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy
 servants; and [some] of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah
 the Hittite is dead also.
   Samuel-2|11:25  Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say
 unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one
 as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and
 overthrow it: and encourage thou him.

   Samuel-2|11:26  And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband
 was dead, she mourned for her husband.
   Samuel-2|11:27  And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched
 her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the
 thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
   Samuel-2|12:1  And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him,
 and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the
 other poor.
   Samuel-2|12:2  The rich [man] had exceeding many flocks and herds:
   Samuel-2|12:3  But the poor [man] had nothing, save one little ewe lamb,
 which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and
 with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, s
 unto him as a daughter.
   Samuel-2|12:4  And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he
 spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the
 wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and
 dressed it for the man that was come to him.
   Samuel-2|12:5  And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and
 he said to Nathan, [As] the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this
 [thing] shall surely die:
   Samuel-2|12:6  And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did

 this thing, and because he had no pity.
   Samuel-2|12:7  And Nathan said to David, Thou [art] the man. Thus saith
 the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered
 thee out of the hand of Saul;
   Samuel-2|12:8  And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives
 into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if
 [that had been] too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and
 such things.
   Samuel-2|12:9  Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD,
 to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword,
 and hast taken his wife [to be] thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword
 of the children of Ammon.
   Samuel-2|12:10  Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine
 house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the
 Hittite to be thy wife.
   Samuel-2|12:11  Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against
 thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes,
 and give [them] unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the
 sight of this sun.
   Samuel-2|12:12  For thou didst [it] secretly: but I will do this thing
 before all Israel, and before the sun.

   Samuel-2|12:13  And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the
 LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou
 shalt not die.
   Samuel-2|12:14  Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great
 occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also [that is]
 born unto thee shall surely die.
   Samuel-2|12:15  And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck
 the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
   Samuel-2|12:16  David therefore besought God for the child; and David
 fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
   Samuel-2|12:17  And the elders of his house arose, [and went] to him, to
 raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread
 with them.
   Samuel-2|12:18  And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child
 died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead:
 for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him,
 and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if
 we tell him that the child is dead?
   Samuel-2|12:19  But when David saw that his servants whispered, David
 perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants,
 Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

   Samuel-2|12:20  Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed
 [himself], and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD,
 and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they
 set bread before him, and he did eat.
   Samuel-2|12:21  Then said his servants unto him, What thing [is] this
 that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, [while it was]
 alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
   Samuel-2|12:22  And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and
 wept: for I said, Who can tell [whether] GOD will be gracious to me, that
 the child may live?
   Samuel-2|12:23  But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring
 him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
   Samuel-2|12:24  And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto
 her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon:
 and the LORD loved him.
   Samuel-2|12:25  And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he
 called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
   Samuel-2|12:26  And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon,
 and took the royal city.
   Samuel-2|12:27  And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have
 fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.

   Samuel-2|12:28  Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and
 encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be
 called after my name.
   Samuel-2|12:29  And David gathered all the people together, and went to
 Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
   Samuel-2|12:30  And he took their king's crown from off his head, the
 weight whereof [was] a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was
 [set] on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great
 abundance.
   Samuel-2|12:31  And he brought forth the people that [were] therein, and
 put [them] under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron,
 and made them pass through the brickkiln: and thus did he unto all the
 cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto
 Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|13:1  And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of
 David had a fair sister, whose name [was] Tamar; and Amnon the son of David
 loved her.
   Samuel-2|13:2  And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister
 Tamar; for she [was] a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any
 thing to her.
   Samuel-2|13:3  But Amnon had a friend, whose name [was] Jonadab, the son

 of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab [was] a very subtle man.
   Samuel-2|13:4  And he said unto him, Why [art] thou, [being] the king's
 son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him,
 I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
   Samuel-2|13:5  And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and
 make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I
 pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat
 in my sight, that I may see [it], and eat [it] at her hand.
   Samuel-2|13:6  So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the
 king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar
 my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat
 at her hand.
   Samuel-2|13:7  Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy
 brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
   Samuel-2|13:8  So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was
 laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded [it], and made cakes in his
 sight, and did bake the cakes.
   Samuel-2|13:9  And she took a pan, and poured [them] out before him; but
 he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went
 out every man from him.
   Samuel-2|13:10  And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the

 chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she
 had made, and brought [them] into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
   Samuel-2|13:11  And when she had brought [them] unto him to eat, he took
 hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
   Samuel-2|13:12  And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me;
 for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
   Samuel-2|13:13  And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for
 thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray
 thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
   Samuel-2|13:14  Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being
 stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
   Samuel-2|13:15  Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred
 wherewith he hated her [was] greater than the love wherewith he had loved
 her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
   Samuel-2|13:16  And she said unto him, [There is] no cause: this evil in
 sending me away [is] greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he
 would not hearken unto her.
   Samuel-2|13:17  Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and
 said, Put now this [woman] out from me, and bolt the door after her.
   Samuel-2|13:18  And [she had] a garment of divers colours upon her: for
 with such robes were the king's daughters [that were] virgins apparelled.

 Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
   Samuel-2|13:19  And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of
 divers colours that [was] on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went
 on crying.
   Samuel-2|13:20  And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy
 brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he [is] thy
 brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother
 Absalom's house.
   Samuel-2|13:21  But when king David heard of all these things, he was
 very wroth.
   Samuel-2|13:22  And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor
 bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
   Samuel-2|13:23  And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom
 had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which [is] beside Ephraim: and Absalom
 invited all the king's sons.
   Samuel-2|13:24  And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy
 servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants
 go with thy servant.
   Samuel-2|13:25  And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all
 now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he
 would not go, but blessed him.

   Samuel-2|13:26  Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother
 Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?
   Samuel-2|13:27  But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the
 king's sons go with him.
   Samuel-2|13:28  Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye
 now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite
 Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous,
 and be valiant.
   Samuel-2|13:29  And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had
 commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon
 his mule, and fled.
   Samuel-2|13:30  And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that
 tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and
 there is not one of them left.
   Samuel-2|13:31  Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on
 the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
   Samuel-2|13:32  And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered
 and said, Let not my lord suppose [that] they have slain all the young men
 the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom
 this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
   Samuel-2|13:33  Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to

 his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is
 dead.
   Samuel-2|13:34  But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch
 lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the
 way of the hill side behind him.
   Samuel-2|13:35  And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons
 come: as thy servant said, so it is.
   Samuel-2|13:36  And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of
 speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and
 wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
   Samuel-2|13:37  But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud,
 king of Geshur. And [David] mourned for his son every day.
   Samuel-2|13:38  So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three
 years.
   Samuel-2|13:39  And [the soul of] king David longed to go forth unto
 Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
   Samuel-2|14:1  Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's
 heart [was] toward Absalom.
   Samuel-2|14:2  And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman,
 and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on
 now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman

 that had a long time mourned for the dead:
   Samuel-2|14:3  And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him.
 So Joab put the words in her mouth.
   Samuel-2|14:4  And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell
 on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
   Samuel-2|14:5  And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she
 answered, I [am] indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
   Samuel-2|14:6  And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove
 together in the field, and [there was] none to part them, but the one smote
 the other, and slew him.
   Samuel-2|14:7  And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine
 handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may
 kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the
 heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not
 leave to my husband [neither] name nor remainder upon the earth.
   Samuel-2|14:8  And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I
 will give charge concerning thee.
   Samuel-2|14:9  And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O
 king, the iniquity [be] on me, and on my father's house: and the king and
 his throne [be] guiltless.
   Samuel-2|14:10  And the king said, Whosoever saith [ought] unto thee,

 bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
   Samuel-2|14:11  Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the
 LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to
 destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, [As] the LORD
 liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
   Samuel-2|14:12  Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee,
 speak [one] word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
   Samuel-2|14:13  And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such
 a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as
 one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his
 banished.
   Samuel-2|14:14  For we must needs die, and [are] as water spilled on the
 ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect [any]
 person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from
 him.
   Samuel-2|14:15  Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto
 my lord the king, [it is] because the people have made me afraid: and thy
 handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will
 perform the request of his handmaid.
   Samuel-2|14:16  For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of
 the hand of the man [that would] destroy me and my son together out of the

 inheritance of God.
   Samuel-2|14:17  Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king
 shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so [is] my lord the king
 to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
   Samuel-2|14:18  Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not
 from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said,
 Let my lord the king now speak.
   Samuel-2|14:19  And the king said, [Is not] the hand of Joab with thee in
 all this? And the woman answered and said, [As] thy soul liveth, my lord
 the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my
 lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all
 these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:
   Samuel-2|14:20  To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab
 done this thing: and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of an angel
 of God, to know all [things] that [are] in the earth.
   Samuel-2|14:21  And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this
 thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
   Samuel-2|14:22  And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed
 himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth
 that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king
 hath fulfilled the request of his servant.

   Samuel-2|14:23  So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to
 Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|14:24  And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let
 him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the
 king's face.
   Samuel-2|14:25  But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as
 Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his
 head there was no blemish in him.
   Samuel-2|14:26  And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's
 end that he polled [it]: because [the hair] was heavy on him, therefore he
 polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after
 the king's weight.
   Samuel-2|14:27  And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one
 daughter, whose name [was] Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
   Samuel-2|14:28  So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not
 the king's face.
   Samuel-2|14:29  Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the
 king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time,
 he would not come.
   Samuel-2|14:30  Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is
 near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's

 servants set the field on fire.
   Samuel-2|14:31  Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto [his] house,
 and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
   Samuel-2|14:32  And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee,
 saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am
 I come from Geshur? [it had been] good for me [to have been] there still:
 now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be [any] iniquity in
 me, let him kill me.
   Samuel-2|14:33  So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had
 called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to
 the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
   Samuel-2|15:1  And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him
 chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
   Samuel-2|15:2  And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the
 gate: and it was [so], that when any man that had a controversy came to the
 king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city
 [art] thou? And he said, Thy servant [is] of one of the tribes of Israel.
   Samuel-2|15:3  And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters [are] good and
 right; but [there is] no man [deputed] of the king to hear thee.
   Samuel-2|15:4  Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the
 land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I

 would do him justice!
   Samuel-2|15:5  And it was [so], that when any man came nigh [to him] to
 do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
   Samuel-2|15:6  And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to
 the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
   Samuel-2|15:7  And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said
 unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed
 unto the LORD, in Hebron.
   Samuel-2|15:8  For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in
 Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I
 will serve the LORD.
   Samuel-2|15:9  And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and
 went to Hebron.
   Samuel-2|15:10  But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of
 Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall
 say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
   Samuel-2|15:11  And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem,
 [that were] called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not
 any thing.
   Samuel-2|15:12  And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's
 counsellor, from his city, [even] from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices.

 And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with
 Absalom.
   Samuel-2|15:13  And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts
 of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
   Samuel-2|15:14  And David said unto all his servants that [were] with him
 at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not [else] escape from
 Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil
 upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
   Samuel-2|15:15  And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy
 servants [are ready to do] whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
   Samuel-2|15:16  And the king went forth, and all his household after him.
 And the king left ten women, [which were] concubines, to keep the house.
   Samuel-2|15:17  And the king went forth, and all the people after him,
 and tarried in a place that was far off.
   Samuel-2|15:18  And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the
 Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men
 which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
   Samuel-2|15:19  Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest
 thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou
 [art] a stranger, and also an exile.
   Samuel-2|15:20  Whereas thou camest [but] yesterday, should I this day

 make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou,
 and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth [be] with thee.
   Samuel-2|15:21  And Ittai answered the king, and said, [As] the LORD
 liveth, and [as] my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the
 king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant
 be.
   Samuel-2|15:22  And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the
 Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that [were]
 with him.
   Samuel-2|15:23  And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the
 people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and
 all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
   Samuel-2|15:24  And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites [were] with him,
 bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God;
 and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the
 city.
   Samuel-2|15:25  And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God
 into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will
 bring me again, and show me [both] it, and his habitation:
   Samuel-2|15:26  But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold,
 [here am] I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.

   Samuel-2|15:27  The king said also unto Zadok the priest, [Art not] thou
 a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz
 thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
   Samuel-2|15:28  See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until
 there come word from you to certify me.
   Samuel-2|15:29  Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again
 to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
   Samuel-2|15:30  And David went up by the ascent of [mount] Olivet, and
 wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all
 the people that [was] with him covered every man his head, and they went
 up, weeping as they went up.
   Samuel-2|15:31  And [one] told David, saying, Ahithophel [is] among the
 conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the
 counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
   Samuel-2|15:32  And it came to pass, that [when] David was come to the
 top [of the mount], where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite
 came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
   Samuel-2|15:33  Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then
 thou shalt be a burden unto me:
   Samuel-2|15:34  But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I
 will be thy servant, O king; [as] I [have been] thy father's servant

 hitherto, so [will] I now also [be] thy servant: then mayest thou for me
 defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
   Samuel-2|15:35  And [hast thou] not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar
 the priests? therefore it shall be, [that] what thing soever thou shalt
 hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell [it] to Zadok and Abiathar
 the priests.
   Samuel-2|15:36  Behold, [they have] there with them their two sons,
 Ahimaaz Zadok's [son], and Jonathan Abiathar's [son]; and by them ye shall
 send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
   Samuel-2|15:37  So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom
 came into Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|16:1  And when David was a little past the top [of the hill],
 behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses
 saddled, and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread, and an hundred
 bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
   Samuel-2|16:2  And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these?
 And Ziba said, The asses [be] for the king's household to ride on; and the
 bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as
 be faint in the wilderness may drink.
   Samuel-2|16:3  And the king said, And where [is] thy master's son? And
 Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To

 day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
   Samuel-2|16:4  Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine [are] all that
 [pertained] unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee [that]
 I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
   Samuel-2|16:5  And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came
 out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name [was] Shimei, the
 son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
   Samuel-2|16:6  And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of
 king David: and all the people and all the mighty men [were] on his right
 hand and on his left.
   Samuel-2|16:7  And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out,
 thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
   Samuel-2|16:8  The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the
 house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath
 delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou
 [art taken] in thy mischief, because thou [art] a bloody man.
   Samuel-2|16:9  Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why
 should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee,
 and take off his head.
   Samuel-2|16:10  And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of
 Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse

 David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
   Samuel-2|16:11  And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants,
 Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much
 more now [may this] Benjamite [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse;
 for the LORD hath bidden him.
   Samuel-2|16:12  It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and
 that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
   Samuel-2|16:13  And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went
 along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw
 stones at him, and cast dust.
   Samuel-2|16:14  And the king, and all the people that [were] with him,
 came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
   Samuel-2|16:15  And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came
 to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
   Samuel-2|16:16  And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's
 friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the
 king, God save the king.
   Samuel-2|16:17  And Absalom said to Hushai, [Is] this thy kindness to thy
 friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
   Samuel-2|16:18  And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and
 this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him

 will I abide.
   Samuel-2|16:19  And again, whom should I serve? [should I] not [serve] in
 the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will
 I be in thy presence.
   Samuel-2|16:20  Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you
 what we shall do.
   Samuel-2|16:21  And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's
 concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear
 that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that
 [are] with thee be strong.
   Samuel-2|16:22  So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house;
 and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all
 Israel.
   Samuel-2|16:23  And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in
 those days, [was] as if a man had inquired at the oracle of God: so [was]
 all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
   Samuel-2|17:1  Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose
 out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this
 night:
   Samuel-2|17:2  And I will come upon him while he [is] weary and weak
 handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that [are] with him

 shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
   Samuel-2|17:3  And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man
 whom thou seekest [is] as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be in
 peace.
   Samuel-2|17:4  And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of
 Israel.
   Samuel-2|17:5  Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and
 let us hear likewise what he saith.
   Samuel-2|17:6  And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto
 him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do [after]
 his saying? if not; speak thou.
   Samuel-2|17:7  And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel
 hath given [is] not good at this time.
   Samuel-2|17:8  For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men,
 that they [be] mighty men, and they [be] chafed in their minds, as a bear
 robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father [is] a man of war, and
 will not lodge with the people.
   Samuel-2|17:9  Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other]
 place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the
 first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the
 people that follow Absalom.

   Samuel-2|17:10  And he also [that is] valiant, whose heart [is] as the
 heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father
 [is] a mighty man, and [they] which [be] with him [are] valiant men.
   Samuel-2|17:11  Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered
 unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for
 multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
   Samuel-2|17:12  So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be
 found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of
 him and of all the men that [are] with him there shall not be left so much
 as one.
   Samuel-2|17:13  Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all
 Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until
 there be not one small stone found there.
   Samuel-2|17:14  And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel
 of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the
 LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent
 that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
   Samuel-2|17:15  Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests,
 Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and
 thus and thus have I counselled.
   Samuel-2|17:16  Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge

 not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over;
 lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that [are] with him.
   Samuel-2|17:17  Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they
 might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them;
 and they went and told king David.
   Samuel-2|17:18  Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they
 went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which
 had a well in his court; whither they went down.
   Samuel-2|17:19  And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's
 mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.
   Samuel-2|17:20  And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the
 house, they said, Where [is] Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto
 them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and
 could not find [them], they returned to Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|17:21  And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they
 came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David,
 Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled
 against you.
   Samuel-2|17:22  Then David arose, and all the people that [were] with
 him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one
 of them that was not gone over Jordan.

   Samuel-2|17:23  And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not
 followed, he saddled [his] ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house,
 to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died,
 and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
   Samuel-2|17:24  Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over
 Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
   Samuel-2|17:25  And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of
 Joab: which Amasa [was] a man's son, whose name [was] Ithra an Israelite,
 that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's
 mother.
   Samuel-2|17:26  So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
   Samuel-2|17:27  And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim,
 that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir
 the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
   Samuel-2|17:28  Brought beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat,
 and barley, and flour, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentiles, and
 parched [pulse],
   Samuel-2|17:29  And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for
 David, and for the people that [were] with him, to eat: for they said, The
 people [is] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
   Samuel-2|18:1  And David numbered the people that [were] with him, and

 set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
   Samuel-2|18:2  And David sent forth a third part of the people under the
 hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of
 Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the
 Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you
 myself also.
   Samuel-2|18:3  But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if
 we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will
 they care for us: but now [thou art] worth ten thousand of us: therefore
 now [it is] better that thou succour us out of the city.
   Samuel-2|18:4  And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will
 do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by
 hundreds and by thousands.
   Samuel-2|18:5  And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying,
 [Deal] gently for my sake with the young man, [even] with Absalom. And all
 the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning
 Absalom.
   Samuel-2|18:6  So the people went out into the field against Israel: and
 the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
   Samuel-2|18:7  Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants
 of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand

 [men].
   Samuel-2|18:8  For the battle was there scattered over the face of all
 the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword
 devoured.
   Samuel-2|18:9  And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode
 upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and
 his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and
 the earth; and the mule that [was] under him went away.
   Samuel-2|18:10  And a certain man saw [it], and told Joab, and said,
 Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
   Samuel-2|18:11  And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold,
 thou sawest [him], and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground?
 And I would have given thee ten [shekels] of silver, and a girdle.
   Samuel-2|18:12  And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a
 thousand [shekels] of silver in mine hand, [yet] would I not put forth mine
 hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and
 Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none [touch] the young man Absalom.
   Samuel-2|18:13  Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine
 own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself
 wouldest have set thyself against [me].
   Samuel-2|18:14  Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he

 took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom,
 while he [was] yet alive in the midst of the oak.
   Samuel-2|18:15  And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about
 and smote Absalom, and slew him.
   Samuel-2|18:16  And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from
 pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
   Samuel-2|18:17  And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in
 the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel
 fled every one to his tent.
   Samuel-2|18:18  Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for
 himself a pillar, which [is] in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son
 to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own
 name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
   Samuel-2|18:19  Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and
 bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.
   Samuel-2|18:20  And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this
 day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear
 no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
   Samuel-2|18:21  Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast
 seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
   Samuel-2|18:22  Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But

 howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said,
 Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
   Samuel-2|18:23  But howsoever, [said he], let me run. And he said unto
 him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
   Samuel-2|18:24  And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman
 went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes,
 and looked, and behold a man running alone.
   Samuel-2|18:25  And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king
 said, If he [be] alone, [there is] tidings in his mouth. And he came apace,
 and drew near.
   Samuel-2|18:26  And the watchman saw another man running: and the
 watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold [another] man running
 alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
   Samuel-2|18:27  And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the
 foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king
 said, He [is] a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
   Samuel-2|18:28  And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well.
 And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said,
 Blessed [be] the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted
 up their hand against my lord the king.
   Samuel-2|18:29  And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And

 Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and [me] thy servant,
 I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what [it was].
   Samuel-2|18:30  And the king said [unto him], Turn aside, [and] stand
 here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
   Samuel-2|18:31  And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord
 the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up
 against thee.
   Samuel-2|18:32  And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom
 safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that
 rise against thee to do [thee] hurt, be as [that] young man [is].
   Samuel-2|18:33  And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber
 over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my
 son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my
 son!
   Samuel-2|19:1  And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and
 mourneth for Absalom.
   Samuel-2|19:2  And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning unto
 all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved
 for his son.
   Samuel-2|19:3  And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city,
 as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

   Samuel-2|19:4  But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a
 loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
   Samuel-2|19:5  And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou
 hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have
 saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the
 lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
   Samuel-2|19:6  In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends.
 For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor
 servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we
 had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
   Samuel-2|19:7  Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto
 thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not
 tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all
 the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.
   Samuel-2|19:8  Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told
 unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all
 the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
   Samuel-2|19:9  And all the people were at strife throughout all the
 tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies,
 and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled
 out of the land for Absalom.

   Samuel-2|19:10  And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle.
 Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
   Samuel-2|19:11  And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests,
 saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to
 bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come
 to the king, [even] to his house.
   Samuel-2|19:12  Ye [are] my brethren, ye [are] my bones and my flesh:
 wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?
   Samuel-2|19:13  And say ye to Amasa, [Art] thou not of my bone, and of my
 flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host
 before me continually in the room of Joab.
   Samuel-2|19:14  And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as
 [the heart of] one man; so that they sent [this word] unto the king, Return
 thou, and all thy servants.
   Samuel-2|19:15  So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came
 to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.
   Samuel-2|19:16  And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which [was] of
 Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
   Samuel-2|19:17  And [there were] a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and
 Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty
 servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king.

   Samuel-2|19:18  And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's
 household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell
 down before the king, as he was come over Jordan;
   Samuel-2|19:19  And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity
 unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the
 day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take
 it to his heart.
   Samuel-2|19:20  For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore,
 behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down
 to meet my lord the king.
   Samuel-2|19:21  But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall
 not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?
   Samuel-2|19:22  And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of
 Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any
 man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I [am] this
 day king over Israel?
   Samuel-2|19:23  Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die.
 And the king sware unto him.
   Samuel-2|19:24  And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the
 king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed
 his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came [again]

 in peace.
   Samuel-2|19:25  And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to
 meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with
 me, Mephibosheth?
   Samuel-2|19:26  And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me:
 for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and
 go to the king; because thy servant [is] lame.
   Samuel-2|19:27  And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king;
 but my lord the king [is] as an angel of God: do therefore [what is] good
 in thine eyes.
   Samuel-2|19:28  For all [of] my father's house were but dead men before
 my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at
 thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the
 king?
   Samuel-2|19:29  And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of
 thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
   Samuel-2|19:30  And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take
 all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own
 house.
   Samuel-2|19:31  And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and
 went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.

   Samuel-2|19:32  Now Barzillai was a very aged man, [even] fourscore years
 old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim;
 for he [was] a very great man.
   Samuel-2|19:33  And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me,
 and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|19:34  And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to
 live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
   Samuel-2|19:35  I [am] this day fourscore years old: [and] can I discern
 between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink?
 can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore
 then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
   Samuel-2|19:36  Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the
 king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
   Samuel-2|19:37  Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may
 die in mine own city, [and be buried] by the grave of my father and of my
 mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the
 king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
   Samuel-2|19:38  And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and
 I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou
 shalt require of me, [that] will I do for thee.
   Samuel-2|19:39  And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king

 was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned
 unto his own place.
   Samuel-2|19:40  Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with
 him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the
 people of Israel.
   Samuel-2|19:41  And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and
 said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee
 away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men
 with him, over Jordan?
   Samuel-2|19:42  And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel,
 Because the king [is] near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for
 this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's [cost]? or hath he given us
 any gift?
   Samuel-2|19:43  And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and
 said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more [right] in David
 than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first
 had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were
 fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
   Samuel-2|20:1  And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name
 [was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and
 said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of

 Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
   Samuel-2|20:2  So every man of Israel went up from after David, [and]
 followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their
 king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
   Samuel-2|20:3  And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king
 took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house,
 and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were
 shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
   Samuel-2|20:4  Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah
 within three days, and be thou here present.
   Samuel-2|20:5  So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah: but he
 tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
   Samuel-2|20:6  And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of
 Bichri do us more harm than [did] Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants,
 and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
   Samuel-2|20:7  And there went out after him Joab's men, and the
 Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out
 of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
   Samuel-2|20:8  When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon,
 Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded
 unto him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword fastened upon his loins in

 the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
   Samuel-2|20:9  And Joab said to Amasa, [Art] thou in health, my brother?
 And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
   Samuel-2|20:10  But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab's
 hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth [rib], and shed out his bowels
 to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai
 his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
   Samuel-2|20:11  And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that
 favoureth Joab, and he that [is] for David, [let him go] after Joab.
   Samuel-2|20:12  And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway.
 And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out
 of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that
 every one that came by him stood still.
   Samuel-2|20:13  When he was removed out of the highway, all the people
 went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
   Samuel-2|20:14  And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel,
 and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together,
 and went also after him.
   Samuel-2|20:15  And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah,
 and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and
 all the people that [were] with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.

   Samuel-2|20:16  Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say,
 I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
   Samuel-2|20:17  And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, [Art]
 thou Joab? And he answered, I [am he]. Then she said unto him, Hear the
 words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
   Samuel-2|20:18  Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old
 time, saying, They shall surely ask [counsel] at Abel: and so they ended
 [the matter].
   Samuel-2|20:19  I [am one of them that are] peaceable [and] faithful in
 Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt
 thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
   Samuel-2|20:20  And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me,
 that I should swallow up or destroy.
   Samuel-2|20:21  The matter [is] not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba
 the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, [even]
 against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the
 woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the
 wall.
   Samuel-2|20:22  Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom.
 And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast [it] out to
 Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to

 his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
   Samuel-2|20:23  Now Joab [was] over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah
 the son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
   Samuel-2|20:24  And Adoram [was] over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the
 son of Ahilud [was] recorder:
   Samuel-2|20:25  And Sheva [was] scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar [were] the
 priests:
   Samuel-2|20:26  And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
   Samuel-2|21:1  Then there was a famine in the days of David three years,
 year after year; and David inquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, [It
 is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
   Samuel-2|21:2  And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them;
 (now the Gibeonites [were] not of the children of Israel, but of the
 remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them:
 and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and
 Judah.)
   Samuel-2|21:3  Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do
 for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the
 inheritance of the LORD?
   Samuel-2|21:4  And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver
 nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man

 in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, [that] will I do for you.
   Samuel-2|21:5  And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and
 that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any
 of the coasts of Israel,
   Samuel-2|21:6  Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we
 will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the LORD did
 choose. And the king said, I will give [them].
   Samuel-2|21:7  But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the
 son of Saul, because of the LORD'S oath that [was] between them, between
 David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
   Samuel-2|21:8  But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of
 Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons
 of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of
 Barzillai the Meholathite:
   Samuel-2|21:9  And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites,
 and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell [all] seven
 together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first
 [days], in the beginning of barley harvest.
   Samuel-2|21:10  And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and
 spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water
 dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air

 to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
   Samuel-2|21:11  And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah,
 the concubine of Saul, had done.
   Samuel-2|21:12  And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones
 of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them
 from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when
 the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
   Samuel-2|21:13  And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the
 bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were
 hanged.
   Samuel-2|21:14  And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in
 the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and
 they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was
 entreated for the land.
   Samuel-2|21:15  Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel;
 and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the
 Philistines: and David waxed faint.
   Samuel-2|21:16  And Ishbibenob, which [was] of the sons of the giant, the
 weight of whose spear [weighed] three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight,
 he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David.
   Samuel-2|21:17  But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote

 the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him,
 saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not
 the light of Israel.
   Samuel-2|21:18  And it came to pass after this, that there was again a
 battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew
 Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant.
   Samuel-2|21:19  And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines,
 where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew [the brother of]
 Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear [was] like a weaver's beam.
   Samuel-2|21:20  And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of
 [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six
 toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
   Samuel-2|21:21  And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah
 the brother of David slew him.
   Samuel-2|21:22  These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by
 the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
   Samuel-2|22:1  And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in
 the day [that] the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his
 enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
   Samuel-2|22:2  And he said, The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and
 my deliverer;

   Samuel-2|22:3  The God of my rock; in him will I trust: [he is] my
 shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my
 saviour; thou savest me from violence.
   Samuel-2|22:4  I will call on the LORD, [who is] worthy to be praised: so
 shall I be saved from mine enemies.
   Samuel-2|22:5  When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of
 ungodly men made me afraid;
   Samuel-2|22:6  The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of
 death prevented me;
   Samuel-2|22:7  In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my
 God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry [did enter]
 into his ears.
   Samuel-2|22:8  Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of
 heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
   Samuel-2|22:9  There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of
 his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
   Samuel-2|22:10  He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness
 [was] under his feet.
   Samuel-2|22:11  And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen
 upon the wings of the wind.
   Samuel-2|22:12  And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark

 waters, [and] thick clouds of the skies.
   Samuel-2|22:13  Through the brightness before him were coals of fire
 kindled.
   Samuel-2|22:14  The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered
 his voice.
   Samuel-2|22:15  And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning,
 and discomfited them.
   Samuel-2|22:16  And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of
 the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the
 breath of his nostrils.
   Samuel-2|22:17  He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many
 waters;
   Samuel-2|22:18  He delivered me from my strong enemy, [and] from them
 that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
   Samuel-2|22:19  They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD
 was my stay.
   Samuel-2|22:20  He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered
 me, because he delighted in me.
   Samuel-2|22:21  The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness:
 according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
   Samuel-2|22:22  For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not

 wickedly departed from my God.
   Samuel-2|22:23  For all his judgments [were] before me: and [as for] his
 statutes, I did not depart from them.
   Samuel-2|22:24  I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from
 mine iniquity.
   Samuel-2|22:25  Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my
 righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
   Samuel-2|22:26  With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, [and]
 with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.
   Samuel-2|22:27  With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the
 froward thou wilt show thyself unsavoury.
   Samuel-2|22:28  And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes
 [are] upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.
   Samuel-2|22:29  For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten
 my darkness.
   Samuel-2|22:30  For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I
 leaped over a wall.
   Samuel-2|22:31  [As for] God, his way [is] perfect; the word of the LORD
 [is] tried: he [is] a buckler to all them that trust in him.
   Samuel-2|22:32  For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock,
 save our God?

   Samuel-2|22:33  God [is] my strength [and] power: And he maketh my way
 perfect.
   Samuel-2|22:34  He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet]: and setteth me upon
 my high places.
   Samuel-2|22:35  He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is
 broken by mine arms.
   Samuel-2|22:36  Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and
 thy gentleness hath made me great.
   Samuel-2|22:37  Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did
 not slip.
   Samuel-2|22:38  I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and
 turned not again until I had consumed them.
   Samuel-2|22:39  And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they
 could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
   Samuel-2|22:40  For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them
 that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
   Samuel-2|22:41  Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I
 might destroy them that hate me.
   Samuel-2|22:42  They looked, but [there was] none to save; [even] unto
 the LORD, but he answered them not.
   Samuel-2|22:43  Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I

 did stamp them as the mire of the street, [and] did spread them abroad.
   Samuel-2|22:44  Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my
 people, thou hast kept me [to be] head of the heathen: a people [which] I
 knew not shall serve me.
   Samuel-2|22:45  Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as
 they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
   Samuel-2|22:46  Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out
 of their close places.
   Samuel-2|22:47  The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and exalted be
 the God of the rock of my salvation.
   Samuel-2|22:48  It [is] God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the
 people under me,
   Samuel-2|22:49  And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also
 hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast
 delivered me from the violent man.
   Samuel-2|22:50  Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the
 heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
   Samuel-2|22:51  [He is] the tower of salvation for his king: and showeth
 mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
   Samuel-2|23:1  Now these [be] the last words of David. David the son of
 Jesse said, and the man [who was] raised up on high, the anointed of the

 God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
   Samuel-2|23:2  The spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word [was] in
 my tongue.
   Samuel-2|23:3  The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He
 that ruleth over men [must be] just, ruling in the fear of God.
   Samuel-2|23:4  And [he shall be] as the light of the morning, [when] the
 sun riseth, [even] a morning without clouds; [as] the tender grass
 [springing] out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
   Samuel-2|23:5  Although my house [be] not so with God; yet he hath made
 with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all [things], and sure: for
 [this is] all my salvation, and all [my] desire, although he make [it] not
 to grow.
   Samuel-2|23:6  But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as thorns
 thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
   Samuel-2|23:7  But the man [that] shall touch them must be fenced with
 iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire
 in the [same] place.
   Samuel-2|23:8  These [be] the names of the mighty men whom David had: The
 Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same [was]
 Adino the Eznite: [he lift up his spear] against eight hundred, whom he
 slew at one time.

   Samuel-2|23:9  And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite,
 [one] of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines
 [that] were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were
 gone away:
   Samuel-2|23:10  He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was
 weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great
 victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
   Samuel-2|23:11  And after him [was] Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite.
 And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece
 of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.
   Samuel-2|23:12  But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it,
 and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
   Samuel-2|23:13  And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to
 David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the
 Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
   Samuel-2|23:14  And David [was] then in an hold, and the garrison of the
 Philistines [was] then [in] Bethlehem.
   Samuel-2|23:15  And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me
 drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which [is] by the gate!
   Samuel-2|23:16  And the three mighty men brake through the host of the
 Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that [was] by the

 gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: nevertheless he would not
 drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
   Samuel-2|23:17  And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do
 this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their
 lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty
 men.
   Samuel-2|23:18  And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was
 chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, [and]
 slew [them], and had the name among three.
   Samuel-2|23:19  Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was
 their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the [first] three.
   Samuel-2|23:20  And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant
 man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab:
 he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:
   Samuel-2|23:21  And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian
 had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked
 the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
   Samuel-2|23:22  These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had
 the name among three mighty men.
   Samuel-2|23:23  He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained
 not to the [first] three. And David set him over his guard.

   Samuel-2|23:24  Asahel the brother of Joab [was] one of the thirty;
 Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
   Samuel-2|23:25  Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,
   Samuel-2|23:26  Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,
   Samuel-2|23:27  Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,
   Samuel-2|23:28  Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,
   Samuel-2|23:29  Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of
 Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,
   Samuel-2|23:30  Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,
   Samuel-2|23:31  Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,
   Samuel-2|23:32  Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,
   Samuel-2|23:33  Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the
 Hararite,
   Samuel-2|23:34  Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite,
 Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,
   Samuel-2|23:35  Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,
   Samuel-2|23:36  Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,
   Samuel-2|23:37  Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite, armourbearer
 to Joab the son of Zeruiah,
   Samuel-2|23:38  Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite,
   Samuel-2|23:39  Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all.

   Samuel-2|24:1  And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against
 Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and
 Judah.
   Samuel-2|24:2  For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which
 [was] with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to
 Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the
 people.
   Samuel-2|24:3  And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto
 the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of
 my lord the king may see [it]: but why doth my lord the king delight in
 this thing?
   Samuel-2|24:4  Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab,
 and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host
 went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
   Samuel-2|24:5  And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the
 right side of the city that [lieth] in the midst of the river of Gad, and
 toward Jazer:
   Samuel-2|24:6  Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi;
 and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,
   Samuel-2|24:7  And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities
 of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of

 Judah, [even] to Beersheba.
   Samuel-2|24:8  So when they had gone through all the land, they came to
 Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
   Samuel-2|24:9  And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto
 the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that
 drew the sword; and the men of Judah [were] five hundred thousand men.
   Samuel-2|24:10  And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered
 the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I
 have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy
 servant; for I have done very foolishly.
   Samuel-2|24:11  For when David was up in the morning, the word of the
 LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
   Samuel-2|24:12  Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee
 three [things]; choose thee one of them, that I may [do it] unto thee.
   Samuel-2|24:13  So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him,
 Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee
 three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be
 three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall
  sent me.
   Samuel-2|24:14  And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us
 fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies [are] great: and let me

 not fall into the hand of man.
   Samuel-2|24:15  So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the
 morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan
 even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
   Samuel-2|24:16  And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem
 to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel
 that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel
 of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
   Samuel-2|24:17  And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that
 smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly:
 but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be
 against me, and against my father's house.
   Samuel-2|24:18  And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up,
 rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
   Samuel-2|24:19  And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the
 LORD commanded.
   Samuel-2|24:20  And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants
 coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the
 king on his face upon the ground.
   Samuel-2|24:21  And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to
 his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an

 altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
   Samuel-2|24:22  And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take
 and offer up what [seemeth] good unto him: behold, [here be] oxen for burnt
 sacrifice, and threshing instruments and [other] instruments of the oxen
 for wood.
   Samuel-2|24:23  All these [things] did Araunah, [as] a king, give unto
 the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
   Samuel-2|24:24  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely
 buy [it] of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the
 LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the
 threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
   Samuel-2|24:25  And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered
 burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was entreated for the
 land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
   Kings-1|1:1  Now king David was old [and] stricken in years; and they
 covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
   Kings-1|1:2  Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought
 for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and
 let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king
 may get heat.
   Kings-1|1:3  So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts

 of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
   Kings-1|1:4  And the damsel [was] very fair, and cherished the king, and
 ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
   Kings-1|1:5  Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I
 will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to
 run before him.
   Kings-1|1:6  And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying,
 Why hast thou done so? and he also [was a] very goodly [man]; and [his
 mother] bare him after Absalom.
   Kings-1|1:7  And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with
 Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped [him].
   Kings-1|1:8  But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and
 Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which
 [belonged] to David, were not with Adonijah.
   Kings-1|1:9  And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone
 of Zoheleth, which [is] by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's
 sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:
   Kings-1|1:10  But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men,
 and Solomon his brother, he called not.
   Kings-1|1:11  Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of
 Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth

 reign, and David our lord knoweth [it] not?
   Kings-1|1:12  Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel,
 that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
   Kings-1|1:13  Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst
 not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly
 Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why
 then doth Adonijah reign?
   Kings-1|1:14  Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also
 will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
   Kings-1|1:15  And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and
 the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
   Kings-1|1:16  And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And
 the king said, What wouldest thou?
   Kings-1|1:17  And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD
 thy God unto thine handmaid, [saying], Assuredly Solomon thy son shall
 reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
   Kings-1|1:18  And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the
 king, thou knowest [it] not:
   Kings-1|1:19  And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in
 abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the
 priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he

 not called.
   Kings-1|1:20  And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are]
 upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my
 lord the king after him.
   Kings-1|1:21  Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king
 shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted
 offenders.
   Kings-1|1:22  And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the
 prophet also came in.
   Kings-1|1:23  And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet.
 And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king
 with his face to the ground.
   Kings-1|1:24  And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah
 shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
   Kings-1|1:25  For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat
 cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the
 captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and
 drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
   Kings-1|1:26  But me, [even] me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and
 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.
   Kings-1|1:27  Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not

 showed [it] unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the
 king after him?
   Kings-1|1:28  Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And
 she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
   Kings-1|1:29  And the king sware, and said, [As] the LORD liveth, that
 hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
   Kings-1|1:30  Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel,
 saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit
 upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
   Kings-1|1:31  Then Bathsheba bowed with [her] face to the earth, and did
 reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
   Kings-1|1:32  And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan
 the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the
 king.
   Kings-1|1:33  The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of
 your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring
 him down to Gihon:
   Kings-1|1:34  And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him
 there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save
 king Solomon.
   Kings-1|1:35  Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit

 upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him
 to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
   Kings-1|1:36  And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and
 said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so [too].
   Kings-1|1:37  As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he
 with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king
 David.
   Kings-1|1:38  So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah
 the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down,
 and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to
 Gihon.
   Kings-1|1:39  And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the
 tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the
 people said, God save king Solomon.
   Kings-1|1:40  And all the people came up after him, and the people piped
 with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the
 sound of them.
   Kings-1|1:41  And Adonijah and all the guests that [were] with him heard
 [it] as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of
 the trumpet, he said, Wherefore [is this] noise of the city being in an
 uproar?

   Kings-1|1:42  And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of
 Abiathar the priest came: and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou
 [art] a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.
   Kings-1|1:43  And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord
 king David hath made Solomon king.
   Kings-1|1:44  And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and
 Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites,
 and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:
   Kings-1|1:45  And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed
 him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the
 city rang again. This [is] the noise that ye have heard.
   Kings-1|1:46  And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
   Kings-1|1:47  And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord
 king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and
 make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon
 the bed.
   Kings-1|1:48  And also thus said the king, Blessed [be] the LORD God of
 Israel, which hath given [one] to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even
 seeing [it].
   Kings-1|1:49  And all the guests that [were] with Adonijah were afraid,
 and rose up, and went every man his way.

   Kings-1|1:50  And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and
 went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
   Kings-1|1:51  And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth
 king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar,
 saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me to day that he will not slay his
 servant with the sword.
   Kings-1|1:52  And Solomon said, If he will show himself a worthy man,
 there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall
 be found in him, he shall die.
   Kings-1|1:53  So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the
 altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto
 him, Go to thine house.
   Kings-1|2:1  Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he
 charged Solomon his son, saying,
   Kings-1|2:2  I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and
 show thyself a man;
   Kings-1|2:3  And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his
 ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and
 his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest
 prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
   Kings-1|2:4  That the LORD may continue his word which he spake

 concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk
 before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there
 shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
   Kings-1|2:5  Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did
 to me, [and] what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto
 Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and
 shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle
 that [was] about his loins, and in his shoes that [were] on his feet.
   Kings-1|2:6  Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar
 head go down to the grave in peace.
   Kings-1|2:7  But show kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite,
 and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when
 I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
   Kings-1|2:8  And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a
 Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when
 I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to
 him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
   Kings-1|2:9  Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou [art] a wise
 man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring
 thou down to the grave with blood.
   Kings-1|2:10  So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city

 of David.
   Kings-1|2:11  And the days that David reigned over Israel [were] forty
 years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned
 he in Jerusalem.
   Kings-1|2:12  Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and
 his kingdom was established greatly.
   Kings-1|2:13  And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the
 mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said,
 Peaceably.
   Kings-1|2:14  He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she
 said, Say on.
   Kings-1|2:15  And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and
 [that] all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the
 kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from
 the LORD.
   Kings-1|2:16  And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she
 said unto him, Say on.
   Kings-1|2:17  And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king,
 (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to
 wife.
   Kings-1|2:18  And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the

 king.
   Kings-1|2:19  Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto
 him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto
 her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's
 mother; and she sat on his right hand.
   Kings-1|2:20  Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; [I pray
 thee], say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I
 will not say thee nay.
   Kings-1|2:21  And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to
 Adonijah thy brother to wife.
   Kings-1|2:22  And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why
 dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom
 also; for he [is] mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the
 priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
   Kings-1|2:23  Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to
 me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own
 life.
   Kings-1|2:24  Now therefore, [as] the LORD liveth, which hath established
 me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an
 house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
   Kings-1|2:25  And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of

 Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
   Kings-1|2:26  And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to
 Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou [art] worthy of death: but I will
 not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord
 GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all
 wherein my father was afflicted.
   Kings-1|2:27  So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the
 LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning
 the house of Eli in Shiloh.
   Kings-1|2:28  Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after
 Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the
 tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
   Kings-1|2:29  And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the
 tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, [he is] by the altar. Then Solomon
 sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
   Kings-1|2:30  And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said
 unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die
 here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and
 thus he answered me.
   Kings-1|2:31  And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall
 upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood,

 which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
   Kings-1|2:32  And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who
 fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the
 sword, my father David not knowing [thereof, to wit], Abner the son of Ner,
 captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the
 host of Judah.
   Kings-1|2:33  Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab,
 and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed,
 and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from
 the LORD.
   Kings-1|2:34  So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him,
 and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
   Kings-1|2:35  And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room
 over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of
 Abiathar.
   Kings-1|2:36  And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him,
 Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence
 any whither.
   Kings-1|2:37  For it shall be, [that] on the day thou goest out, and
 passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt
 surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

   Kings-1|2:38  And Shimei said unto the king, The saying [is] good: as my
 lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in
 Jerusalem many days.
   Kings-1|2:39  And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of
 the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath.
 And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants [be] in Gath.
   Kings-1|2:40  And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to
 Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from
 Gath.
   Kings-1|2:41  And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem
 to Gath, and was come again.
   Kings-1|2:42  And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him,
 Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying,
 Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any
 whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word
 [that] I have heard [is] good.
   Kings-1|2:43  Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the
 commandment that I have charged thee with?
   Kings-1|2:44  The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the
 wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my
 father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;

   Kings-1|2:45  And king Solomon [shall be] blessed, and the throne of
 David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
   Kings-1|2:46  So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which
 went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established
 in the hand of Solomon.
   Kings-1|3:1  And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
 took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he
 had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and
 the wall of Jerusalem round about.
   Kings-1|3:2  Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was
 no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.
   Kings-1|3:3  And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David
 his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
   Kings-1|3:4  And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that
 [was] the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer
 upon that altar.
   Kings-1|3:5  In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night:
 and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
   Kings-1|3:6  And Solomon said, Thou hast showed unto thy servant David my
 father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in
 righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept

 for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his
 throne, as [it is] this day.
   Kings-1|3:7  And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king
 instead of David my father: and I [am but] a little child: I know not [how]
 to go out or come in.
   Kings-1|3:8  And thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people which thou
 hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for
 multitude.
   Kings-1|3:9  Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge
 thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to
 judge this thy so great a people?
   Kings-1|3:10  And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked
 this thing.
   Kings-1|3:11  And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing,
 and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for
 thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for
 thyself understanding to discern judgment;
   Kings-1|3:12  Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have
 given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like
 thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
   Kings-1|3:13  And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked,

 both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings
 like unto thee all thy days.
   Kings-1|3:14  And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and
 my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy
 days.
   Kings-1|3:15  And Solomon awoke; and, behold, [it was] a dream. And he
 came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD,
 and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a
 feast to all his servants.
   Kings-1|3:16  Then came there two women, [that were] harlots, unto the
 king, and stood before him.
   Kings-1|3:17  And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell
 in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
   Kings-1|3:18  And it came to pass the third day after that I was
 delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we [were] together;
 [there was] no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
   Kings-1|3:19  And this woman's child died in the night; because she
 overlaid it.
   Kings-1|3:20  And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me,
 while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead
 child in my bosom.

   Kings-1|3:21  And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck,
 behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold,
 it was not my son, which I did bear.
   Kings-1|3:22  And the other woman said, Nay; but the living [is] my son,
 and the dead [is] thy son. And this said, No; but the dead [is] thy son,
 and the living [is] my son. Thus they spake before the king.
   Kings-1|3:23  Then said the king, The one saith, This [is] my son that
 liveth, and thy son [is] the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son
 [is] the dead, and my son [is] the living.
   Kings-1|3:24  And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a
 sword before the king.
   Kings-1|3:25  And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give
 half to the one, and half to the other.
   Kings-1|3:26  Then spake the woman whose the living child [was] unto the
 king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give
 her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be
 neither mine nor thine, [but] divide [it].
   Kings-1|3:27  Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child,
 and in no wise slay it: she [is] the mother thereof.
   Kings-1|3:28  And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had
 judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God [was]

 in him, to do judgment.
   Kings-1|4:1  So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
   Kings-1|4:2  And these [were] the princes which he had; Azariah the son
 of Zadok the priest,
   Kings-1|4:3  Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes;
 Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
   Kings-1|4:4  And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the host: and
 Zadok and Abiathar [were] the priests:
   Kings-1|4:5  And Azariah the son of Nathan [was] over the officers; and
 Zabud the son of Nathan [was] principal officer, [and] the king's friend:
   Kings-1|4:6  And Ahishar [was] over the household: and Adoniram the son
 of Abda [was] over the tribute.
   Kings-1|4:7  And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which
 provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a
 year made provision.
   Kings-1|4:8  And these [are] their names: The son of Hur, in mount
 Ephraim:
   Kings-1|4:9  The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and
 Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:
   Kings-1|4:10  The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him [pertained] Sochoh,
 and all the land of Hepher:

   Kings-1|4:11  The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had
 Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
   Kings-1|4:12  Baana the son of Ahilud; [to him pertained] Taanach and
 Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from
 Bethshean to Abelmeholah, [even] unto [the place that is] beyond Jokneam:
   Kings-1|4:13  The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him [pertained] the
 towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which [are] in Gilead; to him [also
 pertained] the region of Argob, which [is] in Bashan, threescore great
 cities with walls and brazen bars:
   Kings-1|4:14  Ahinadab the son of Iddo [had] Mahanaim:
   Kings-1|4:15  Ahimaaz [was] in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the
 daughter of Solomon to wife:
   Kings-1|4:16  Baanah the son of Hushai [was] in Asher and in Aloth:
   Kings-1|4:17  Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
   Kings-1|4:18  Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
   Kings-1|4:19  Geber the son of Uri [was] in the country of Gilead, [in]
 the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and
 [he was] the only officer which [was] in the land.
   Kings-1|4:20  Judah and Israel [were] many, as the sand which [is] by the
 sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
   Kings-1|4:21  And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto

 the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought
 presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
   Kings-1|4:22  And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of
 fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
   Kings-1|4:23  Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an
 hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.
   Kings-1|4:24  For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the
 river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the
 river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
   Kings-1|4:25  And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine
 and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of
 Solomon.
   Kings-1|4:26  And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his
 chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
   Kings-1|4:27  And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and
 for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they
 lacked nothing.
   Kings-1|4:28  Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries
 brought they unto the place where [the officers] were, every man according
 to his charge.
   Kings-1|4:29  And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding

 much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that [is] on the sea shore.
   Kings-1|4:30  And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the
 children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
   Kings-1|4:31  For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and
 Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all
 nations round about.
   Kings-1|4:32  And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a
 thousand and five.
   Kings-1|4:33  And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that [is] in
 Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also
 of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
   Kings-1|4:34  And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon,
 from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
   Kings-1|5:1  And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for
 he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for
 Hiram was ever a lover of David.
   Kings-1|5:2  And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
   Kings-1|5:3  Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an
 house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him
 on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
   Kings-1|5:4  But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side,

 [so that there is] neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
   Kings-1|5:5  And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of
 the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son,
 whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto
 my name.
   Kings-1|5:6  Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out
 of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will
 I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for
 thou knowest that [there is] not among us any that can skill to hew timber
 like unto the Sidonians.
   Kings-1|5:7  And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon,
 that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] the LORD this day, which
 hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
   Kings-1|5:8  And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the
 things which thou sentest to me for: [and] I will do all thy desire
 concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
   Kings-1|5:9  My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon unto the
 sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt
 appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt
 receive [them]: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my
 household.

   Kings-1|5:10  So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees [according
 to] all his desire.
   Kings-1|5:11  And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat
 [for] food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave
 Solomon to Hiram year by year.
   Kings-1|5:12  And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and
 there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league
 together.
   Kings-1|5:13  And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the
 levy was thirty thousand men.
   Kings-1|5:14  And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by
 courses: a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home: and
 Adoniram [was] over the levy.
   Kings-1|5:15  And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare
 burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
   Kings-1|5:16  Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which [were] over
 the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people
 that wrought in the work.
   Kings-1|5:17  And the king commanded, and they brought great stones,
 costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
   Kings-1|5:18  And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew [them],

 and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the
 house.
   Kings-1|6:1  And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year
 after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the
 fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is]
 the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
   Kings-1|6:2  And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the
 length thereof [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty
 [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits.
   Kings-1|6:3  And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits
 [was] the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten
 cubits [was] the breadth thereof before the house.
   Kings-1|6:4  And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
   Kings-1|6:5  And against the wall of the house he built chambers round
 about, [against] the walls of the house round about, [both] of the temple
 and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
   Kings-1|6:6  The nethermost chamber [was] five cubits broad, and the
 middle [was] six cubits broad, and the third [was] seven cubits broad: for
 without [in the wall] of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that
 [the beams] should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
   Kings-1|6:7  And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone

 made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer
 nor ax [nor] any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
   Kings-1|6:8  The door for the middle chamber [was] in the right side of
 the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle [chamber],
 and out of the middle into the third.
   Kings-1|6:9  So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the
 house with beams and boards of cedar.
   Kings-1|6:10  And [then] he built chambers against all the house, five
 cubits high: and they rested on the house [with] timber of cedar.
   Kings-1|6:11  And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
   Kings-1|6:12  [Concerning] this house which thou art in building, if thou
 wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my
 commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which
 I spake unto David thy father:
   Kings-1|6:13  And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not
 forsake my people Israel.
   Kings-1|6:14  So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
   Kings-1|6:15  And he built the walls of the house within with boards of
 cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: [and] he
 covered [them] on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house
 with planks of fir.

   Kings-1|6:16  And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both
 the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built [them] for it
 within, [even] for the oracle, [even] for the most holy [place].
   Kings-1|6:17  And the house, that [is], the temple before it, was forty
 cubits [long].
   Kings-1|6:18  And the cedar of the house within [was] carved with knops
 and open flowers: all [was] cedar; there was no stone seen.
   Kings-1|6:19  And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set
 there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
   Kings-1|6:20  And the oracle in the forepart [was] twenty cubits in
 length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height
 thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and [so] covered the altar
 [which was of] cedar.
   Kings-1|6:21  So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he
 made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid
 it with gold.
   Kings-1|6:22  And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had
 finished all the house: also the whole altar that [was] by the oracle he
 overlaid with gold.
   Kings-1|6:23  And within the oracle he made two cherubims [of] olive
 tree, [each] ten cubits high.

   Kings-1|6:24  And five cubits [was] the one wing of the cherub, and five
 cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one
 wing unto the uttermost part of the other [were] ten cubits.
   Kings-1|6:25  And the other cherub [was] ten cubits: both the cherubims
 [were] of one measure and one size.
   Kings-1|6:26  The height of the one cherub [was] ten cubits, and so [was
 it] of the other cherub.
   Kings-1|6:27  And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they
 stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one
 touched the [one] wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other
 wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
   Kings-1|6:28  And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
   Kings-1|6:29  And he carved all the walls of the house round about with
 carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and
 without.
   Kings-1|6:30  And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within
 and without.
   Kings-1|6:31  And for the entering of the oracle he made doors [of] olive
 tree: the lintel [and] side posts [were] a fifth part [of the wall].
   Kings-1|6:32  The two doors also [were of] olive tree; and he carved upon
 them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid

 [them] with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm
 trees.
   Kings-1|6:33  So also made he for the door of the temple posts [of] olive
 tree, a fourth part [of the wall].
   Kings-1|6:34  And the two doors [were of] fir tree: the two leaves of the
 one door [were] folding, and the two leaves of the other door [were]
 folding.
   Kings-1|6:35  And he carved [thereon] cherubims and palm trees and open
 flowers: and covered [them] with gold fitted upon the carved work.
   Kings-1|6:36  And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed
 stone, and a row of cedar beams.
   Kings-1|6:37  In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the
 LORD laid, in the month Zif:
   Kings-1|6:38  And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which [is] the
 eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and
 according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
   Kings-1|7:1  But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and
 he finished all his house.
   Kings-1|7:2  He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length
 thereof [was] an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and
 the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with

 cedar beams upon the pillars.
   Kings-1|7:3  And [it was] covered with cedar above upon the beams, that
 [lay] on forty five pillars, fifteen [in] a row.
   Kings-1|7:4  And [there were] windows [in] three rows, and light [was]
 against light [in] three ranks.
   Kings-1|7:5  And all the doors and posts [were] square, with the windows:
 and light [was] against light [in] three ranks.
   Kings-1|7:6  And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof [was]
 fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch [was]
 before them: and the [other] pillars and the thick beam [were] before them.
   Kings-1|7:7  Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge,
 [even] the porch of judgment: and [it was] covered with cedar from one side
 of the floor to the other.
   Kings-1|7:8  And his house where he dwelt [had] another court within the
 porch, [which] was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for
 Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken [to wife], like unto this porch.
   Kings-1|7:9  All these [were of] costly stones, according to the measures
 of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the
 foundation unto the coping, and [so] on the outside toward the great court.
   Kings-1|7:10  And the foundation [was of] costly stones, even great
 stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.

   Kings-1|7:11  And above [were] costly stones, after the measures of hewed
 stones, and cedars.
   Kings-1|7:12  And the great court round about [was] with three rows of
 hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the
 house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
   Kings-1|7:13  And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
   Kings-1|7:14  He [was] a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his
 father [was] a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with
 wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he
 came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
   Kings-1|7:15  For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high
 apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
   Kings-1|7:16  And he made two chapiters [of] molten brass, to set upon
 the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter [was] five cubits,
 and the height of the other chapiter [was] five cubits:
   Kings-1|7:17  [And] nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for
 the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one
 chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
   Kings-1|7:18  And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the
 one network, to cover the chapiters that [were] upon the top, with
 pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.

   Kings-1|7:19  And the chapiters that [were] upon the top of the pillars
 [were] of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
   Kings-1|7:20  And the chapiters upon the two pillars [had pomegranates]
 also above, over against the belly which [was] by the network: and the
 pomegranates [were] two hundred in rows round about upon the other
 chapiter.
   Kings-1|7:21  And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and
 he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set
 up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
   Kings-1|7:22  And upon the top of the pillars [was] lily work: so was the
 work of the pillars finished.
   Kings-1|7:23  And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to
 the other: [it was] round all about, and his height [was] five cubits: and
 a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
   Kings-1|7:24  And under the brim of it round about [there were] knops
 compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops
 [were] cast in two rows, when it was cast.
   Kings-1|7:25  It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north,
 and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and
 three looking toward the east: and the sea [was set] above upon them, and
 all their hinder parts [were] inward.

   Kings-1|7:26  And it [was] an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof
 was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained
 two thousand baths.
   Kings-1|7:27  And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits [was] the
 length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits
 the height of it.
   Kings-1|7:28  And the work of the bases [was] on this [manner]: they had
 borders, and the borders [were] between the ledges:
   Kings-1|7:29  And on the borders that [were] between the ledges [were]
 lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges [there was] a base above:
 and beneath the lions and oxen [were] certain additions made of thin work.
   Kings-1|7:30  And every base had four brazen wheels, and plates of brass:
 and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver [were]
 undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
   Kings-1|7:31  And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above [was] a
 cubit: but the mouth thereof [was] round [after] the work of the base, a
 cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it [were] gravings with their
 borders, foursquare, not round.
   Kings-1|7:32  And under the borders [were] four wheels; and the axletrees
 of the wheels [were joined] to the base: and the height of a wheel [was] a
 cubit and half a cubit.

   Kings-1|7:33  And the work of the wheels [was] like the work of a chariot
 wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their
 spokes, [were] all molten.
   Kings-1|7:34  And [there were] four undersetters to the four corners of
 one base: [and] the undersetters [were] of the very base itself.
   Kings-1|7:35  And in the top of the base [was there] a round compass of
 half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the
 borders thereof [were] of the same.
   Kings-1|7:36  For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders
 thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the
 proportion of every one, and additions round about.
   Kings-1|7:37  After this [manner] he made the ten bases: all of them had
 one casting, one measure, [and] one size.
   Kings-1|7:38  Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty
 baths: [and] every laver was four cubits: [and] upon every one of the ten
 bases one laver.
   Kings-1|7:39  And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and
 five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of
 the house eastward over against the south.
   Kings-1|7:40  And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins.
 So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for

 the house of the LORD:
   Kings-1|7:41  The two pillars, and the [two] bowls of the chapiters that
 [were] on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the
 two bowls of the chapiters which [were] upon the top of the pillars;
   Kings-1|7:42  And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, [even]
 two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the
 chapiters that [were] upon the pillars;
   Kings-1|7:43  And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
   Kings-1|7:44  And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
   Kings-1|7:45  And the pots, and the shovels, and the basins: and all
 these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD,
 [were of] bright brass.
   Kings-1|7:46  In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay
 ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
   Kings-1|7:47  And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they
 were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
   Kings-1|7:48  And Solomon made all the vessels that [pertained] unto the
 house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the
 showbread [was],
   Kings-1|7:49  And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right
 [side], and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the

 lamps, and the tongs [of] gold,
   Kings-1|7:50  And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the
 spoons, and the censers [of] pure gold; and the hinges [of] gold, [both]
 for the doors of the inner house, the most holy [place, and] for the doors
 of the house, [to wit], of the temple.
   Kings-1|7:51  So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the
 house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father
 had dedicated; [even] the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put
 among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
   Kings-1|8:1  Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the
 heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel,
 unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the
 covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] Zion.
   Kings-1|8:2  And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king
 Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which [is] the seventh month.
   Kings-1|8:3  And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up
 the ark.
   Kings-1|8:4  And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle
 of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the
 tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
   Kings-1|8:5  And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that

 were assembled unto him, [were] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep
 and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
   Kings-1|8:6  And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the
 LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy [place,
 even] under the wings of the cherubims.
   Kings-1|8:7  For the cherubims spread forth [their] two wings over the
 place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof
 above.
   Kings-1|8:8  And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves
 were seen out in the holy [place] before the oracle, and they were not seen
 without: and there they are unto this day.
   Kings-1|8:9  [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone,
 which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with the
 children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
   Kings-1|8:10  And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the
 holy [place], that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
   Kings-1|8:11  So that the priests could not stand to minister because of
 the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
   Kings-1|8:12  Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in
 the thick darkness.
   Kings-1|8:13  I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled

 place for thee to abide in for ever.
   Kings-1|8:14  And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the
 congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
   Kings-1|8:15  And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, which
 spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled
 [it], saying,
   Kings-1|8:16  Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of
 Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house,
 that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people
 Israel.
   Kings-1|8:17  And it was in the heart of David my father to build an
 house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
   Kings-1|8:18  And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in
 thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in
 thine heart.
   Kings-1|8:19  Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son
 that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my
 name.
   Kings-1|8:20  And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I
 am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of
 Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the

 LORD God of Israel.
   Kings-1|8:21  And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein [is] the
 covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them
 out of the land of Egypt.
   Kings-1|8:22  And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the
 presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands
 toward heaven:
   Kings-1|8:23  And he said, LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like
 thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy
 with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
   Kings-1|8:24  Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou
 promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it]
 with thine hand, as [it is] this day.
   Kings-1|8:25  Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant
 David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee
 a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take
 heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
   Kings-1|8:26  And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be
 verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
   Kings-1|8:27  But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven
 and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I

 have builded?
   Kings-1|8:28  Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and
 to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the
 prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:
   Kings-1|8:29  That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and
 day, [even] toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be
 there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall
 make toward this place.
   Kings-1|8:30  And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of
 thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in
 heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
   Kings-1|8:31  If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be
 laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar
 in this house:
   Kings-1|8:32  Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants,
 condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the
 righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
   Kings-1|8:33  When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy,
 because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and
 confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
   Kings-1|8:34  Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people

 Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their
 fathers.
   Kings-1|8:35  When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they
 have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy
 name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:
   Kings-1|8:36  Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy
 servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way
 wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast
 given to thy people for an inheritance.
   Kings-1|8:37  If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence,
 blasting, mildew, locust, [or] if there be caterpillar; if their enemy
 besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever
 sickness [there be];
   Kings-1|8:38  What prayer and supplication soever be [made] by any man,
 [or] by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his
 own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
   Kings-1|8:39  Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive,
 and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou
 knowest; (for thou, [even] thou only, knowest the hearts of all the
 children of men;)
   Kings-1|8:40  That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the

 land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
   Kings-1|8:41  Moreover concerning a stranger, that [is] not of thy people
 Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;
   Kings-1|8:42  (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong
 hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward
 this house;
   Kings-1|8:43  Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to
 all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may
 know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel; and that they may
 know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
   Kings-1|8:44  If thy people go out to battle against their enemy,
 whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the
 city which thou hast chosen, and [toward] the house that I have built for
 thy name:
   Kings-1|8:45  Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their
 supplication, and maintain their cause.
   Kings-1|8:46  If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man that
 sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy,
 so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or
 near;
   Kings-1|8:47  [Yet] if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither

 they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in
 the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and
 have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
   Kings-1|8:48  And [so] return unto thee with all their heart, and with
 all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive,
 and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers,
 the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy
 name:
   Kings-1|8:49  Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in
 heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
   Kings-1|8:50  And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and
 all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and
 give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may
 have compassion on them:
   Kings-1|8:51  For they [be] thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou
 broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
   Kings-1|8:52  That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy
 servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto
 them in all that they call for unto thee.
   Kings-1|8:53  For thou didst separate them from among all the people of
 the earth, [to be] thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses

 thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.
   Kings-1|8:54  And it was [so], that when Solomon had made an end of
 praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from
 before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands
 spread up to heaven.
   Kings-1|8:55  And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel
 with a loud voice, saying,
   Kings-1|8:56  Blessed [be] the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people
 Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word
 of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his
 servant.
   Kings-1|8:57  The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers:
 let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
   Kings-1|8:58  That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his
 ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments,
 which he commanded our fathers.
   Kings-1|8:59  And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication
 before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he
 maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at
 all times, as the matter shall require:
   Kings-1|8:60  That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD

 [is] God, [and that there is] none else.
   Kings-1|8:61  Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God,
 to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
   Kings-1|8:62  And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice
 before the LORD.
   Kings-1|8:63  And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which
 he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and
 twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated
 the house of the LORD.
   Kings-1|8:64  The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court
 that [was] before the house of the LORD for there he offered burnt
 offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because
 the brazen altar that [was] before the LORD [was] too little to receive the
 burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
   Kings-1|8:65  And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with
 him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of
 Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, [even] fourteen
 days.
   Kings-1|8:66  On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed
 the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the
 goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his

 people.
   Kings-1|9:1  And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building
 of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire
 which he was pleased to do,
   Kings-1|9:2  That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had
 appeared unto him at Gibeon.
   Kings-1|9:3  And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy
 supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house,
 which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and
 mine heart shall be there perpetually.
   Kings-1|9:4  And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked,
 in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I
 have commanded thee, [and] wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
   Kings-1|9:5  Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel
 for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail
 thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
   Kings-1|9:6  [But] if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your
 children, and will not keep my commandments [and] my statutes which I have
 set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
   Kings-1|9:7  Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have
 given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast

 out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all
 people:
   Kings-1|9:8  And at this house, [which] is high, every one that passeth
 by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the
 LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?
   Kings-1|9:9  And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their
 God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have
 taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them:
 therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
   Kings-1|9:10  And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when
 Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's
 house,
   Kings-1|9:11  ([Now] Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with
 cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,)
 that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
   Kings-1|9:12  And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which
 Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
   Kings-1|9:13  And he said, What cities [are] these which thou hast given
 me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
   Kings-1|9:14  And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
   Kings-1|9:15  And this [is] the reason of the levy which king Solomon

 raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo,
 and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
   Kings-1|9:16  [For] Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer,
 and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city,
 and given it [for] a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
   Kings-1|9:17  And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
   Kings-1|9:18  And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
   Kings-1|9:19  And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities
 for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon
 desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his
 dominion.
   Kings-1|9:20  [And] all the people [that were] left of the Amorites,
 Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which [were] not of the
 children of Israel,
   Kings-1|9:21  Their children that were left after them in the land, whom
 the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those
 did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
   Kings-1|9:22  But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen:
 but they [were] men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his
 captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
   Kings-1|9:23  These [were] the chief of the officers that [were] over

 Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people
 that wrought in the work.
   Kings-1|9:24  But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David
 unto her house which [Solomon] had built for her: then did he build Millo.
   Kings-1|9:25  And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings
 and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he
 burnt incense upon the altar that [was] before the LORD. So he finished the
 house.
   Kings-1|9:26  And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which
 [is] beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
   Kings-1|9:27  And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had
 knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
   Kings-1|9:28  And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four
 hundred and twenty talents, and brought [it] to king Solomon.
   Kings-1|10:1  And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon
 concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
   Kings-1|10:2  And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with
 camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when
 she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her
 heart.
   Kings-1|10:3  And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not [any]

 thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
   Kings-1|10:4  And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom,
 and the house that he had built,
   Kings-1|10:5  And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants,
 and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers,
 and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no
 more spirit in her.
   Kings-1|10:6  And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard
 in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
   Kings-1|10:7  Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine
 eyes had seen [it]: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and
 prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
   Kings-1|10:8  Happy [are] thy men, happy [are] these thy servants, which
 stand continually before thee, [and] that hear thy wisdom.
   Kings-1|10:9  Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to
 set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever,
 therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
   Kings-1|10:10  And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of
 gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no
 more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to
 king Solomon.

   Kings-1|10:11  And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir,
 brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
   Kings-1|10:12  And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house
 of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for
 singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
   Kings-1|10:13  And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her
 desire, whatsoever she asked, beside [that] which Solomon gave her of his
 royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her
 servants.
   Kings-1|10:14  Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year
 was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
   Kings-1|10:15  Beside [that he had] of the merchantmen, and of the
 traffic of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the
 governors of the country.
   Kings-1|10:16  And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten
 gold: six hundred [shekels] of gold went to one target.
   Kings-1|10:17  And [he made] three hundred shields [of] beaten gold;
 three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house
 of the forest of Lebanon.
   Kings-1|10:18  Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and
 overlaid it with the best gold.

   Kings-1|10:19  The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne [was]
 round behind: and [there were] stays on either side on the place of the
 seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
   Kings-1|10:20  And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the
 other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
   Kings-1|10:21  And all king Solomon's drinking vessels [were of] gold,
 and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [were of] pure
 gold; none [were of] silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of
 Solomon.
   Kings-1|10:22  For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy
 of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold,
 and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
   Kings-1|10:23  So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for
 riches and for wisdom.
   Kings-1|10:24  And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom,
 which God had put in his heart.
   Kings-1|10:25  And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver,
 and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and
 mules, a rate year by year.
   Kings-1|10:26  And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and
 he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen,

 whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at
 Jerusalem.
   Kings-1|10:27  And the king made silver [to be] in Jerusalem as stones,
 and cedars made he [to be] as the sycamore trees that [are] in the vale,
 for abundance.
   Kings-1|10:28  And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen
 yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
   Kings-1|10:29  And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six
 hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so
 for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they
 bring [them] out by their means.
   Kings-1|11:1  But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with
 the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites,
 Zidonians, [and] Hittites;
   Kings-1|11:2  Of the nations [concerning] which the LORD said unto the
 children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in
 unto you: [for] surely they will turn away your heart after their gods:
 Solomon clave unto these in love.
   Kings-1|11:3  And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three
 hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
   Kings-1|11:4  For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his wives

 turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with
 the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David his father.
   Kings-1|11:5  For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the
 Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
   Kings-1|11:6  And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not
 fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father.
   Kings-1|11:7  Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the
 abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] before Jerusalem, and for
 Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
   Kings-1|11:8  And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt
 incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
   Kings-1|11:9  And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was
 turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
   Kings-1|11:10  And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he
 should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD
 commanded.
   Kings-1|11:11  Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is
 done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I
 have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will
 give it to thy servant.
   Kings-1|11:12  Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy

 father's sake: [but] I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
   Kings-1|11:13  Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; [but] will
 give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's
 sake which I have chosen.
   Kings-1|11:14  And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad
 the Edomite: he [was] of the king's seed in Edom.
   Kings-1|11:15  For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the
 captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten
 every male in Edom;
   Kings-1|11:16  (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel,
 until he had cut off every male in Edom:)
   Kings-1|11:17  That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's
 servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad [being] yet a little child.
   Kings-1|11:18  And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they
 took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king
 of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him
 land.
   Kings-1|11:19  And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so
 that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes
 the queen.
   Kings-1|11:20  And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom

 Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household
 among the sons of Pharaoh.
   Kings-1|11:21  And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his
 fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to
 Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
   Kings-1|11:22  Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with
 me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered,
 Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.
   Kings-1|11:23  And God stirred him up [another] adversary, Rezon the son
 of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
   Kings-1|11:24  And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a
 band, when David slew them [of Zobah]: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt
 therein, and reigned in Damascus.
   Kings-1|11:25  And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon,
 beside the mischief that Hadad [did]: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned
 over Syria.
   Kings-1|11:26  And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda,
 Solomon's servant, whose mother's name [was] Zeruah, a widow woman, even he
 lifted up [his] hand against the king.
   Kings-1|11:27  And this [was] the cause that he lifted up [his] hand
 against the king: Solomon built Millo, [and] repaired the breaches of the

 city of David his father.
   Kings-1|11:28  And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty man of valour: and
 Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler
 over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
   Kings-1|11:29  And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of
 Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and
 he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two [were] alone in the
 field:
   Kings-1|11:30  And Ahijah caught the new garment that [was] on him, and
 rent it [in] twelve pieces:
   Kings-1|11:31  And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus
 saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of
 the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
   Kings-1|11:32  (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake,
 and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the
 tribes of Israel:)
   Kings-1|11:33  Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped
 Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites,
 and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my
 ways, to do [that which is] right in mine eyes, and [to keep] my statutes
 and my judgments, as [did] David his father.

   Kings-1|11:34  Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand:
 but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's
 sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:
   Kings-1|11:35  But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and
 will give it unto thee, [even] ten tribes.
   Kings-1|11:36  And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my
 servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I
 have chosen me to put my name there.
   Kings-1|11:37  And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to
 all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
   Kings-1|11:38  And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I
 command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do [that is] right in my sight,
 to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I
 will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and
 will give Israel unto thee.
   Kings-1|11:39  And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for
 ever.
   Kings-1|11:40  Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam
 arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt
 until the death of Solomon.
   Kings-1|11:41  And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did,

 and his wisdom, [are] they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
   Kings-1|11:42  And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all
 Israel [was] forty years.
   Kings-1|11:43  And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the
 city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-1|12:1  And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to
 Shechem to make him king.
   Kings-1|12:2  And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who
 was yet in Egypt, heard [of it], (for he was fled from the presence of king
 Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
   Kings-1|12:3  That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the
 congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
   Kings-1|12:4  Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou
 the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon
 us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
   Kings-1|12:5  And he said unto them, Depart yet [for] three days, then
 come again to me. And the people departed.
   Kings-1|12:6  And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood
 before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise
 that I may answer this people?
   Kings-1|12:7  And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant

 unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak
 good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
   Kings-1|12:8  But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had
 given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him,
 [and] which stood before him:
   Kings-1|12:9  And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may
 answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy
 father did put upon us lighter?
   Kings-1|12:10  And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto
 him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee,
 saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] lighter unto us;
 thus shalt thou say unto them, My little [finger] shall be thicker than my
 father's loins.
   Kings-1|12:11  And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke,
 I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I
 will chastise you with scorpions.
   Kings-1|12:12  So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third
 day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
   Kings-1|12:13  And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the
 old men's counsel that they gave him;
   Kings-1|12:14  And spake to them after the counsel of the young men,

 saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my
 father [also] chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with
 scorpions.
   Kings-1|12:15  Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the
 cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD
 spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
   Kings-1|12:16  So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto
 them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David?
 neither [have we] inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel:
 now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
   Kings-1|12:17  But [as for] the children of Israel which dwelt in the
 cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
   Kings-1|12:18  Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who [was] over the
 tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore
 king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to
 Jerusalem.
   Kings-1|12:19  So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this
 day.
   Kings-1|12:20  And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam
 was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and
 made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of

 David, but the tribe of Judah only.
   Kings-1|12:21  And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all
 the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore
 thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of
 Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
   Kings-1|12:22  But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God,
 saying,
   Kings-1|12:23  Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah,
 and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the
 people, saying,
   Kings-1|12:24  Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against
 your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for
 this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD,
 and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
   Kings-1|12:25  Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt
 therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
   Kings-1|12:26  And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom
 return to the house of David:
   Kings-1|12:27  If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the
 LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto
 their lord, [even] unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and

 go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
   Kings-1|12:28  Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves [of]
 gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem:
 behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
   Kings-1|12:29  And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
   Kings-1|12:30  And this thing became a sin: for the people went [to
 worship] before the one, [even] unto Dan.
   Kings-1|12:31  And he made an house of high places, and made priests of
 the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
   Kings-1|12:32  And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the
 fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that [is] in Judah, and he
 offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves
 that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places
 which he had made.
   Kings-1|12:33  So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel
 the fifteenth day of the eighth month, [even] in the month which he had
 devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel:
 and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
   Kings-1|13:1  And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the
 word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn
 incense.

   Kings-1|13:2  And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and
 said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born
 unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the
 priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones
 shall be burnt upon thee.
   Kings-1|13:3  And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the sign
 which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes
 that [are] upon it shall be poured out.
   Kings-1|13:4  And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of
 the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put
 forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which
 he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again
 to him.
   Kings-1|13:5  The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the
 altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of
 the LORD.
   Kings-1|13:6  And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat
 now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be
 restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's
 hand was restored him again, and became as [it was] before.
   Kings-1|13:7  And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me,

 and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
   Kings-1|13:8  And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me
 half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor
 drink water in this place:
   Kings-1|13:9  For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying,
 Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou
 camest.
   Kings-1|13:10  So he went another way, and returned not by the way that
 he came to Bethel.
   Kings-1|13:11  Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons
 came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in
 Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to
 their father.
   Kings-1|13:12  And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his
 sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
   Kings-1|13:13  And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they
 saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
   Kings-1|13:14  And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under
 an oak: and he said unto him, [Art] thou the man of God that camest from
 Judah? And he said, I [am].
   Kings-1|13:15  Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

   Kings-1|13:16  And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with
 thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
   Kings-1|13:17  For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt
 eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that
 thou camest.
   Kings-1|13:18  He said unto him, I [am] a prophet also as thou [art]; and
 an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with
 thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied
 unto him.
   Kings-1|13:19  So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house,
 and drank water.
   Kings-1|13:20  And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the
 word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
   Kings-1|13:21  And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah,
 saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of
 the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God
 commanded thee,
   Kings-1|13:22  But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in
 the place, of the which [the LORD] did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink
 no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
   Kings-1|13:23  And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after

 he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit], for the prophet
 whom he had brought back.
   Kings-1|13:24  And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew
 him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion
 also stood by the carcase.
   Kings-1|13:25  And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in
 the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told [it]
 in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
   Kings-1|13:26  And when the prophet that brought him back from the way
 heard [thereof], he said, It [is] the man of God, who was disobedient unto
 the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion,
 which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD,
 which he spake unto him.
   Kings-1|13:27  And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And
 they saddled [him].
   Kings-1|13:28  And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the
 ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the
 carcase, nor torn the ass.
   Kings-1|13:29  And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and
 laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the
 city, to mourn and to bury him.

   Kings-1|13:30  And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned
 over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!
   Kings-1|13:31  And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he
 spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre
 wherein the man of God [is] buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
   Kings-1|13:32  For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD
 against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places
 which [are] in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
   Kings-1|13:33  After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way,
 but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places:
 whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became [one] of the priests of
 the high places.
   Kings-1|13:34  And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even
 to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the earth.
   Kings-1|14:1  At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
   Kings-1|14:2  And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and
 disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and
 get thee to Shiloh: behold, there [is] Ahijah the prophet, which told me
 that [I should be] king over this people.
   Kings-1|14:3  And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse
 of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.

   Kings-1|14:4  And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh,
 and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes
 were set by reason of his age.
   Kings-1|14:5  And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam
 cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he [is] sick: thus and thus
 shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she
 shall feign herself [to be] another [woman].
   Kings-1|14:6  And it was [so], when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet,
 as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam;
 why feignest thou thyself [to be] another? for I [am] sent to thee [with]
 heavy [tidings].
   Kings-1|14:7  Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,
 Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince
 over my people Israel,
   Kings-1|14:8  And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave
 it thee: and [yet] thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my
 commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do [that] only
 [which was] right in mine eyes;
   Kings-1|14:9  But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for
 thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me
 to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:

   Kings-1|14:10  Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of
 Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall,
 [and] him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the
 remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all
 gone.
   Kings-1|14:11  Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat;
 and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the
 LORD hath spoken [it].
   Kings-1|14:12  Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: [and]
 when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
   Kings-1|14:13  And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he
 only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found
 [some] good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
   Kings-1|14:14  Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel,
 who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
   Kings-1|14:15  For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in
 the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave
 to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they
 have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
   Kings-1|14:16  And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of
 Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.

   Kings-1|14:17  And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to
 Tirzah: [and] when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
   Kings-1|14:18  And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him,
 according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his
 servant Ahijah the prophet.
   Kings-1|14:19  And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and
 how he reigned, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of
 the kings of Israel.
   Kings-1|14:20  And the days which Jeroboam reigned [were] two and twenty
 years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his
 stead.
   Kings-1|14:21  And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam
 [was] forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
 seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all
 the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name [was]
 Naamah an Ammonitess.
   Kings-1|14:22  And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they
 provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above
 all that their fathers had done.
   Kings-1|14:23  For they also built them high places, and images, and
 groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.

   Kings-1|14:24  And there were also sodomites in the land: [and] they did
 according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out
 before the children of Israel.
   Kings-1|14:25  And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam,
 [that] Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
   Kings-1|14:26  And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD,
 and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took
 away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
   Kings-1|14:27  And king Rehoboam made in their stead brazen shields, and
 committed [them] unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the
 door of the king's house.
   Kings-1|14:28  And it was [so], when the king went into the house of the
 LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard
 chamber.
   Kings-1|14:29  Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-1|14:30  And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all
 [their] days.
   Kings-1|14:31  And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with
 his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an
 Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.

   Kings-1|15:1  Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of
 Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
   Kings-1|15:2  Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
 [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
   Kings-1|15:3  And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had
 done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as
 the heart of David his father.
   Kings-1|15:4  Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him
 a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish
 Jerusalem:
   Kings-1|15:5  Because David did [that which was] right in the eyes of the
 LORD, and turned not aside from any [thing] that he commanded him all the
 days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
   Kings-1|15:6  And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the
 days of his life.
   Kings-1|15:7  Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
 And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
   Kings-1|15:8  And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in
 the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-1|15:9  And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel

 reigned Asa over Judah.
   Kings-1|15:10  And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his
 mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
   Kings-1|15:11  And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the
 LORD, as [did] David his father.
   Kings-1|15:12  And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and
 removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
   Kings-1|15:13  And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from
 [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed
 her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.
   Kings-1|15:14  But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's
 heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
   Kings-1|15:15  And he brought in the things which his father had
 dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of
 the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
   Kings-1|15:16  And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel
 all their days.
   Kings-1|15:17  And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built
 Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of
 Judah.
   Kings-1|15:18  Then Asa took all the silver and the gold [that were] left

 in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's
 house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent
 them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria,
 that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
   Kings-1|15:19  [There is] a league between me and thee, [and] between my
 father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver
 and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may
 depart from me.
   Kings-1|15:20  So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains
 of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and
 Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
   Kings-1|15:21  And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [thereof], that he
 left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
   Kings-1|15:22  Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah;
 none [was] exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber
 thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of
 Benjamin, and Mizpah.
   Kings-1|15:23  The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and
 all that he did, and the cities which he built, [are] they not written in
 the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time
 of his old age he was diseased in his feet.

   Kings-1|15:24  And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
 fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in
 his stead.
   Kings-1|15:25  And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel
 in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
   Kings-1|15:26  And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in
 the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
   Kings-1|15:27  And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar,
 conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged]
 to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
   Kings-1|15:28  Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha
 slay him, and reigned in his stead.
   Kings-1|15:29  And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] he smote all
 the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he
 had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by
 his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
   Kings-1|15:30  Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which
 he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God
 of Israel to anger.
   Kings-1|15:31  Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of

 Israel?
   Kings-1|15:32  And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel
 all their days.
   Kings-1|15:33  In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the
 son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
   Kings-1|15:34  And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in
 the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
   Kings-1|16:1  Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani
 against Baasha, saying,
   Kings-1|16:2  Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee
 prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam,
 and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their
 sins;
   Kings-1|16:3  Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the
 posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam
 the son of Nebat.
   Kings-1|16:4  Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat;
 and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
   Kings-1|16:5  Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and
 his might, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the
 kings of Israel?

   Kings-1|16:6  So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah:
 and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-1|16:7  And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani
 came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for
 all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to
 anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and
 because he killed him.
   Kings-1|16:8  In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began
 Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
   Kings-1|16:9  And his servant Zimri, captain of half [his] chariots,
 conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the
 house of Arza steward of [his] house in Tirzah.
   Kings-1|16:10  And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the
 twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
   Kings-1|16:11  And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he
 sat on his throne, [that] he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not
 one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his
 friends.
   Kings-1|16:12  Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according
 to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
   Kings-1|16:13  For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son,

 by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking
 the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
   Kings-1|16:14  Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
 Israel?
   Kings-1|16:15  In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did
 Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people [were] encamped against
 Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines.
   Kings-1|16:16  And the people [that were] encamped heard say, Zimri hath
 conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri,
 the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
   Kings-1|16:17  And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him,
 and they besieged Tirzah.
   Kings-1|16:18  And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was
 taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the
 king's house over him with fire, and died,
   Kings-1|16:19  For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of
 the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did,
 to make Israel to sin.
   Kings-1|16:20  Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he
 wrought, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings

 of Israel?
   Kings-1|16:21  Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts:
 half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and
 half followed Omri.
   Kings-1|16:22  But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the
 people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri
 reigned.
   Kings-1|16:23  In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began
 Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
   Kings-1|16:24  And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents
 of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he
 built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
   Kings-1|16:25  But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did
 worse than all that [were] before him.
   Kings-1|16:26  For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
 and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of
 Israel to anger with their vanities.
   Kings-1|16:27  Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his
 might that he showed, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles
 of the kings of Israel?
   Kings-1|16:28  So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria:

 and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-1|16:29  And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah
 began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri
 reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
   Kings-1|16:30  And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD
 above all that [were] before him.
   Kings-1|16:31  And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for
 him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife
 Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served
 Baal, and worshipped him.
   Kings-1|16:32  And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal,
 which he had built in Samaria.
   Kings-1|16:33  And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the
 LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before
 him.
   Kings-1|16:34  In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid
 the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates
 thereof in his youngest [son] Segub, according to the word of the LORD,
 which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
   Kings-1|17:1  And Elijah the Tishbite, [who was] of the inhabitants of
 Gilead, said unto Ahab, [As] the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I

 stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my
 word.
   Kings-1|17:2  And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
   Kings-1|17:3  Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by
 the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan.
   Kings-1|17:4  And it shall be, [that] thou shalt drink of the brook; and
 I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
   Kings-1|17:5  So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for
 he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that [is] before Jordan.
   Kings-1|17:6  And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning,
 and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
   Kings-1|17:7  And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up,
 because there had been no rain in the land.
   Kings-1|17:8  And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
   Kings-1|17:9  Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which [belongeth] to Zidon,
 and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain
 thee.
   Kings-1|17:10  So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the
 gate of the city, behold, the widow woman [was] there gathering of sticks:
 and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a
 vessel, that I may drink.

   Kings-1|17:11  And as she was going to fetch [it], he called to her, and
 said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
   Kings-1|17:12  And she said, [As] the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a
 cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and,
 behold, I [am] gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me
 at we may eat it, and die.
   Kings-1|17:13  And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go [and] do as thou
 hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring [it] unto me,
 and after make for thee and for thy son.
   Kings-1|17:14  For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal
 shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day [that]
 the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
   Kings-1|17:15  And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah:
 and she, and he, and her house, did eat [many] days.
   Kings-1|17:16  [And] the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse
 of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
   Kings-1|17:17  And it came to pass after these things, [that] the son of
 the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so
 sore, that there was no breath left in him.
   Kings-1|17:18  And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O
 thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and

 to slay my son?
   Kings-1|17:19  And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out
 of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him
 upon his own bed.
   Kings-1|17:20  And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast
 thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her
 son?
   Kings-1|17:21  And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and
 cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's
 soul come into him again.
   Kings-1|17:22  And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of
 the child came into him again, and he revived.
   Kings-1|17:23  And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the
 chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said,
 See, thy son liveth.
   Kings-1|17:24  And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou
 [art] a man of God, [and] that the word of the LORD in thy mouth [is]
 truth.
   Kings-1|18:1  And it came to pass [after] many days, that the word of the
 LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab;
 and I will send rain upon the earth.

   Kings-1|18:2  And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And [there was]
 a sore famine in Samaria.
   Kings-1|18:3  And Ahab called Obadiah, which [was] the governor of [his]
 house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
   Kings-1|18:4  For it was [so], when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the
 LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a
 cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
   Kings-1|18:5  And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all
 fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to
 save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
   Kings-1|18:6  So they divided the land between them to pass throughout
 it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
   Kings-1|18:7  And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and
 he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, [Art] thou that my lord
 Elijah?
   Kings-1|18:8  And he answered him, I [am]: go, tell thy lord, Behold,
 Elijah [is here].
   Kings-1|18:9  And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver
 thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
   Kings-1|18:10  [As] the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or
 kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said,

 [He is] not [there]; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they
 found thee not.
   Kings-1|18:11  And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is
 here].
   Kings-1|18:12  And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone from
 thee, that the spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and
 [so] when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me:
 but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
   Kings-1|18:13  Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the
 prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by
 fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
   Kings-1|18:14  And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is
 here]: and he shall slay me.
   Kings-1|18:15  And Elijah said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before
 whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to day.
   Kings-1|18:16  So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went
 to meet Elijah.
   Kings-1|18:17  And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said
 unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth Israel?
   Kings-1|18:18  And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and
 thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD,

 and thou hast followed Baalim.
   Kings-1|18:19  Now therefore send, [and] gather to me all Israel unto
 mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the
 prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
   Kings-1|18:20  So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered
 the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
   Kings-1|18:21  And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long
 halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD [be] God, follow him: but if
 Baal, [then] follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
   Kings-1|18:22  Then said Elijah unto the people, I, [even] I only, remain
 a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets [are] four hundred and fifty
 men.
   Kings-1|18:23  Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them
 choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay [it] on
 wood, and put no fire [under]: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay
 [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]:
   Kings-1|18:24  And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on
 the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God.
 And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
   Kings-1|18:25  And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one
 bullock for yourselves, and dress [it] first; for ye [are] many; and call

 on the name of your gods, but put no fire [under].
   Kings-1|18:26  And they took the bullock which was given them, and they
 dressed [it], and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon,
 saying, O Baal, hear us. But [there was] no voice, nor any that answered.
 And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
   Kings-1|18:27  And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and
 said, Cry aloud: for he [is] a god; either he is talking, or he is
 pursuing, or he is in a journey, [or] peradventure he sleepeth, and must be
 awaked.
   Kings-1|18:28  And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their
 manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
   Kings-1|18:29  And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they
 prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the [evening] sacrifice,
 that [there was] neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
   Kings-1|18:30  And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me.
 And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the
 LORD [that was] broken down.
   Kings-1|18:31  And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of
 the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came,
 saying, Israel shall be thy name:
   Kings-1|18:32  And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the

 LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two
 measures of seed.
   Kings-1|18:33  And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in
 pieces, and laid [him] on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water,
 and pour [it] on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
   Kings-1|18:34  And he said, Do [it] the second time. And they did [it]
 the second time. And he said, Do [it] the third time. And they did [it] the
 third time.
   Kings-1|18:35  And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the
 trench also with water.
   Kings-1|18:36  And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering of the
 [evening] sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God
 of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou [art]
 God in Israel, and [that] I [am] thy servant, and [that] I have done all
 these things at thy word.
   Kings-1|18:37  Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that
 thou [art] the LORD God, and [that] thou hast turned their heart back
 again.
   Kings-1|18:38  Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt
 sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the
 water that [was] in the trench.

   Kings-1|18:39  And when all the people saw [it], they fell on their
 faces: and they said, The LORD, he [is] the God; the LORD, he [is] the God.
   Kings-1|18:40  And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let
 not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to
 the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
   Kings-1|18:41  And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for
 [there is] a sound of abundance of rain.
   Kings-1|18:42  So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to
 the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his
 face between his knees,
   Kings-1|18:43  And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea.
 And he went up, and looked, and said, [There is] nothing. And he said, Go
 again seven times.
   Kings-1|18:44  And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said,
 Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And
 he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare [thy chariot], and get thee down,
 that the rain stop thee not.
   Kings-1|18:45  And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was
 black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and
 went to Jezreel.
   Kings-1|18:46  And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up

 his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
   Kings-1|19:1  And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal
 how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
   Kings-1|19:2  Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let
 the gods do [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of
 one of them by to morrow about this time.
   Kings-1|19:3  And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life,
 and came to Beersheba, which [belongeth] to Judah, and left his servant
 there.
   Kings-1|19:4  But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness,
 and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself
 that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life;
 for I [am] not better than my fathers.
   Kings-1|19:5  And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then
 an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise [and] eat.
   Kings-1|19:6  And he looked, and, behold, [there was] a cake baken on the
 coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid
 him down again.
   Kings-1|19:7  And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and
 touched him, and said, Arise [and] eat; because the journey [is] too great
 for thee.

   Kings-1|19:8  And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the
 strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of
 God.
   Kings-1|19:9  And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and,
 behold, the word of the LORD [came] to him, and he said unto him, What
 doest thou here, Elijah?
   Kings-1|19:10  And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of
 hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down
 thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I only,
 am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
   Kings-1|19:11  And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the
 LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the
 mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; [but] the LORD
 [was] not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the LORD
 [was] not in the earthquake:
   Kings-1|19:12  And after the earthquake a fire; [but] the LORD [was] not
 in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
   Kings-1|19:13  And it was [so], when Elijah heard [it] that he wrapped
 his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the
 cave. And, behold, [there came] a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou
 here, Elijah?

   Kings-1|19:14  And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of
 hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown
 down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, [even] I
 only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
   Kings-1|19:15  And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the
 wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael [to be] king
 over Syria:
   Kings-1|19:16  And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint [to be] king
 over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint
 [to be] prophet in thy room.
   Kings-1|19:17  And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the
 sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of
 Jehu shall Elisha slay.
   Kings-1|19:18  Yet I have left [me] seven thousand in Israel, all the
 knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed
 him.
   Kings-1|19:19  So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of
 Shaphat, who [was] plowing [with] twelve yoke [of oxen] before him, and he
 with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
   Kings-1|19:20  And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let
 me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and [then] I will follow

 thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
   Kings-1|19:21  And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen,
 and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and
 gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after
 Elijah, and ministered unto him.
   Kings-1|20:1  And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host
 together: and [there were] thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and
 chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
   Kings-1|20:2  And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the
 city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,
   Kings-1|20:3  Thy silver and thy gold [is] mine; thy wives also and thy
 children, [even] the goodliest, [are] mine.
   Kings-1|20:4  And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king,
 according to thy saying, I [am] thine, and all that I have.
   Kings-1|20:5  And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh
 Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt
 deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
   Kings-1|20:6  Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this
 time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants;
 and it shall be, [that] whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall
 put [it] in their hand, and take [it] away.

   Kings-1|20:7  Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land,
 and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this [man] seeketh mischief: for he
 sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for
 my gold; and I denied him not.
   Kings-1|20:8  And all the elders and all the people said unto him,
 Hearken not [unto him], nor consent.
   Kings-1|20:9  Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my
 lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I
 will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and
 brought him word again.
   Kings-1|20:10  And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto
 me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for
 all the people that follow me.
   Kings-1|20:11  And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell [him], Let
 not him that girdeth on [his harness] boast himself as he that putteth it
 off.
   Kings-1|20:12  And it came to pass, when [Benhadad] heard this message,
 as he [was] drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto
 his servants, Set [yourselves in array]. And they set [themselves in array]
 against the city.
   Kings-1|20:13  And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of

 Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great
 multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou
 shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
   Kings-1|20:14  And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD,
 [Even] by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who
 shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
   Kings-1|20:15  Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the
 provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he
 numbered all the people, [even] all the children of Israel, [being] seven
 thousand.
   Kings-1|20:16  And they went out at noon. But Benhadad [was] drinking
 himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings
 that helped him.
   Kings-1|20:17  And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out
 first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come
 out of Samaria.
   Kings-1|20:18  And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them
 alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
   Kings-1|20:19  So these young men of the princes of the provinces came
 out of the city, and the army which followed them.
   Kings-1|20:20  And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and

 Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse
 with the horsemen.
   Kings-1|20:21  And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and
 chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
   Kings-1|20:22  And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto
 him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the
 return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
   Kings-1|20:23  And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their
 gods [are] gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let
 us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than
 they.
   Kings-1|20:24  And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of
 his place, and put captains in their rooms:
   Kings-1|20:25  And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast
 lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against
 them in the plain, [and] surely we shall be stronger than they. And he
 hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
   Kings-1|20:26  And it came to pass at the return of the year, that
 Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against
 Israel.
   Kings-1|20:27  And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all

 present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before
 them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
   Kings-1|20:28  And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of
 Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The
 LORD [is] God of the hills, but he [is] not God of the valleys, therefore
 will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know
 that I [am] the LORD.
   Kings-1|20:29  And they pitched one over against the other seven days.
 And [so] it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the
 children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one
 day.
   Kings-1|20:30  But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and [there] a
 wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men [that were] left. And
 Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
   Kings-1|20:31  And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard
 that the kings of the house of Israel [are] merciful kings: let us, I pray
 thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to
 the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
   Kings-1|20:32  So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and [put] ropes
 on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant
 Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, [Is] he yet alive?

 he [is] my brother.
   Kings-1|20:33  Now the men did diligently observe whether [any thing
 would come] from him, and did hastily catch [it]: and they said, Thy
 brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth
 to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
   Kings-1|20:34  And [Benhadad] said unto him, The cities, which my father
 took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee
 in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then [said Ahab], I will send
 thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him
 away.
   Kings-1|20:35  And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto
 his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man
 refused to smite him.
   Kings-1|20:36  Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the
 voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion
 shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him,
 and slew him.
   Kings-1|20:37  Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray
 thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded [him].
   Kings-1|20:38  So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the
 way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.

   Kings-1|20:39  And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he
 said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man
 turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any
 means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou
 shalt pay a talent of silver.
   Kings-1|20:40  And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone.
 And the king of Israel said unto him, So [shall] thy judgment [be]; thyself
 hast decided [it].
   Kings-1|20:41  And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and
 the king of Israel discerned him that he [was] of the prophets.
   Kings-1|20:42  And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou
 hast let go out of [thy] hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction,
 therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
   Kings-1|20:43  And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and
 displeased, and came to Samaria.
   Kings-1|21:1  And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the
 Jezreelite had a vineyard, which [was] in Jezreel, hard by the palace of
 Ahab king of Samaria.
   Kings-1|21:2  And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard,
 that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it [is] near unto my
 house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; [or], if it

 seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
   Kings-1|21:3  And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I
 should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
   Kings-1|21:4  And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because
 of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said,
 I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down
 upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
   Kings-1|21:5  But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is
 thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
   Kings-1|21:6  And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the
 Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if
 it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he
 answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
   Kings-1|21:7  And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern
 the kingdom of Israel? arise, [and] eat bread, and let thine heart be
 merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
   Kings-1|21:8  So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed [them] with
 his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that
 [were] in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
   Kings-1|21:9  And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and
 set Naboth on high among the people:

   Kings-1|21:10  And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear
 witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And
 [then] carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
   Kings-1|21:11  And the men of his city, [even] the elders and the nobles
 who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them,
 [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
   Kings-1|21:12  They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the
 people.
   Kings-1|21:13  And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat
 before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, [even] against
 Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and
 the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with
 stones, that he died.
   Kings-1|21:14  Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and
 is dead.
   Kings-1|21:15  And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was
 stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of
 the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for
 money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
   Kings-1|21:16  And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead,
 that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to

 take possession of it.
   Kings-1|21:17  And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite,
 saying,
   Kings-1|21:18  Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which [is] in
 Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down
 to possess it.
   Kings-1|21:19  And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the
 LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak
 unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the
 blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
   Kings-1|21:20  And Ahab said to Elijah, hast thou found me, O mine enemy?
 And he answered, I have found [thee]; because thou hast sold thyself to
 work evil in the sight of the LORD.
   Kings-1|21:21  Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away
 thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the
 wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
   Kings-1|21:22  And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the
 son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the
 provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and made Israel to
 sin.
   Kings-1|21:23  And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall

 eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
   Kings-1|21:24  Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and
 him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
   Kings-1|21:25  But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself
 to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred
 up.
   Kings-1|21:26  And he did very abominably in following idols, according
 to all [things] as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the
 children of Israel.
   Kings-1|21:27  And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he
 rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in
 sackcloth, and went softly.
   Kings-1|21:28  And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite,
 saying,
   Kings-1|21:29  Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he
 humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: [but] in
 his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
   Kings-1|22:1  And they continued three years without war between Syria
 and Israel.
   Kings-1|22:2  And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the
 king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

   Kings-1|22:3  And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that
 Ramoth in Gilead [is] ours, and we [be] still, [and] take it not out of the
 hand of the king of Syria?
   Kings-1|22:4  And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to
 battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I [am]
 as thou [art], my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
   Kings-1|22:5  And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I
 pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
   Kings-1|22:6  Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together,
 about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead
 to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the Lord shall
 deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
   Kings-1|22:7  And Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the
 LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?
   Kings-1|22:8  And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [There is]
 yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of the LORD:
 but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And
 Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
   Kings-1|22:9  Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten
 [hither] Micaiah the son of Imlah.
   Kings-1|22:10  And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah

 sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the
 entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before
 them.
   Kings-1|22:11  And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron:
 and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians,
 until thou have consumed them.
   Kings-1|22:12  And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to
 Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the king's
 hand.
   Kings-1|22:13  And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto
 him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good unto the
 king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of
 them, and speak [that which is] good.
   Kings-1|22:14  And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD liveth, what the LORD
 saith unto me, that will I speak.
   Kings-1|22:15  So he came to the king. And the king said unto him,
 Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear?
 And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into
 the hand of the king.
   Kings-1|22:16  And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure
 thee that thou tell me nothing but [that which is] true in the name of the

 LORD?
   Kings-1|22:17  And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as
 sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master:
 let them return every man to his house in peace.
   Kings-1|22:18  And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not
 tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
   Kings-1|22:19  And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I
 saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by
 him on his right hand and on his left.
   Kings-1|22:20  And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go
 up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said
 on that manner.
   Kings-1|22:21  And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD,
 and said, I will persuade him.
   Kings-1|22:22  And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will
 go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.
 And he said, Thou shalt persuade [him], and prevail also: go forth, and do
 so.
   Kings-1|22:23  Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in
 the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil
 concerning thee.

   Kings-1|22:24  But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote
 Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the spirit of the LORD from
 me to speak unto thee?
   Kings-1|22:25  And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when
 thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
   Kings-1|22:26  And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him
 back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
   Kings-1|22:27  And say, Thus saith the king, Put this [fellow] in the
 prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction,
 until I come in peace.
   Kings-1|22:28  And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD
 hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
   Kings-1|22:29  So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah
 went up to Ramothgilead.
   Kings-1|22:30  And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will
 disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And
 the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
   Kings-1|22:31  But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two
 captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small
 nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
   Kings-1|22:32  And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw

 Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it [is] the king of Israel. And they
 turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
   Kings-1|22:33  And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots
 perceived that it [was] not the king of Israel, that they turned back from
 pursuing him.
   Kings-1|22:34  And a [certain] man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the
 king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto
 the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host;
 for I am wounded.
   Kings-1|22:35  And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed
 up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran
 out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
   Kings-1|22:36  And there went a proclamation throughout the host about
 the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to
 his own country.
   Kings-1|22:37  So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they
 buried the king in Samaria.
   Kings-1|22:38  And [one] washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and
 the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto
 the word of the LORD which he spake.
   Kings-1|22:39  Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and

 the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, [are] they
 not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
   Kings-1|22:40  So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son
 reigned in his stead.
   Kings-1|22:41  And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah
 in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
   Kings-1|22:42  Jehoshaphat [was] thirty and five years old when he began
 to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his
 mother's name [was] Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
   Kings-1|22:43  And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned
 not aside from it, doing [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD:
 nevertheless the high places were not taken away; [for] the people offered
 and burnt incense yet in the high places.
   Kings-1|22:44  And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
   Kings-1|22:45  Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might
 that he showed, and how he warred, [are] they not written in the book of
 the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-1|22:46  And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the
 days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
   Kings-1|22:47  [There was] then no king in Edom: a deputy [was] king.
   Kings-1|22:48  Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for

 gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
   Kings-1|22:49  Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my
 servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
   Kings-1|22:50  And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried
 with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son
 reigned in his stead.
   Kings-1|22:51  Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in
 Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two
 years over Israel.
   Kings-1|22:52  And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in
 the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
   Kings-1|22:53  For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to
 anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
   Kings-2|1:1  Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
   Kings-2|1:2  And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber
 that [was] in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto
 them, Go, inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of
 this disease.
   Kings-2|1:3  But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite,
 Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto

 them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God in Israel, [that] ye go to
 inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
   Kings-2|1:4  Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down
 from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah
 departed.
   Kings-2|1:5  And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto
 them, Why are ye now turned back?
   Kings-2|1:6  And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and
 said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him,
 Thus saith the LORD, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God in Israel,
 [that] thou sendest to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore
 thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt
 surely die.
   Kings-2|1:7  And he said unto them, What manner of man [was he] which
 came up to meet you, and told you these words?
   Kings-2|1:8  And they answered him, [He was] an hairy man, and girt with
 a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It [is] Elijah the
 Tishbite.
   Kings-2|1:9  Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his
 fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill.
 And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.

   Kings-2|1:10  And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I
 [be] a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee
 and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and
 his fifty.
   Kings-2|1:11  Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with
 his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the
 king said, Come down quickly.
   Kings-2|1:12  And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I [be] a man of
 God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And
 the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
   Kings-2|1:13  And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his
 fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his
 knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I
 pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be
 precious in thy sight.
   Kings-2|1:14  Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the
 two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my
 life now be precious in thy sight.
   Kings-2|1:15  And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with
 him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the
 king.

   Kings-2|1:16  And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as
 thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, [is it]
 not because [there is] no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore
 thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt
 surely die.
   Kings-2|1:17  So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah
 had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram
 the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
   Kings-2|1:18  Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, [are]
 they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
   Kings-2|2:1  And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into
 heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
   Kings-2|2:2  And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for
 the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said [unto him, As] the LORD
 liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down
 to Bethel.
   Kings-2|2:3  And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Bethel came
 forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take
 away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know [it]; hold
 ye your peace.
   Kings-2|2:4  And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee;

 for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth,
 and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
   Kings-2|2:5  And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Jericho came to
 Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy
 master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know [it]; hold ye
 your peace.
   Kings-2|2:6  And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the
 LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as]
 thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
   Kings-2|2:7  And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to
 view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
   Kings-2|2:8  And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and
 smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they
 two went over on dry ground.
   Kings-2|2:9  And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah
 said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from
 thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be
 upon me.
   Kings-2|2:10  And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: [nevertheless],
 if thou see me [when I am] taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but
 if not, it shall not be [so].

   Kings-2|2:11  And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked,
 that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and
 parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
   Kings-2|2:12  And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father,
 the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more:
 and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
   Kings-2|2:13  He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him,
 and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
   Kings-2|2:14  And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and
 smote the waters, and said, Where [is] the LORD God of Elijah? and when he
 also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha
 went over.
   Kings-2|2:15  And when the sons of the prophets which [were] to view at
 Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And
 they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
   Kings-2|2:16  And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy
 servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master:
 lest peradventure the spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him
 upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
   Kings-2|2:17  And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send.
 They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him

 not.
   Kings-2|2:18  And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at
 Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
   Kings-2|2:19  And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray
 thee, the situation of this city [is] pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the
 water [is] nought, and the ground barren.
   Kings-2|2:20  And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein.
 And they brought [it] to him.
   Kings-2|2:21  And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast
 the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these
 waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren [land].
   Kings-2|2:22  So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the
 saying of Elisha which he spake.
   Kings-2|2:23  And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going
 up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked
 him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
   Kings-2|2:24  And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in
 the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood,
 and tare forty and two children of them.
   Kings-2|2:25  And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he
 returned to Samaria.

   Kings-2|3:1  Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in
 Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned
 twelve years.
   Kings-2|3:2  And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like
 his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his
 father had made.
   Kings-2|3:3  Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of
 Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
   Kings-2|3:4  And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto
 the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams,
 with the wool.
   Kings-2|3:5  But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of
 Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
   Kings-2|3:6  And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and
 numbered all Israel.
   Kings-2|3:7  And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah,
 saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me
 against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I [am] as thou [art], my
 people as thy people, [and] my horses as thy horses.
   Kings-2|3:8  And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The
 way through the wilderness of Edom.

   Kings-2|3:9  So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the
 king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there
 was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
   Kings-2|3:10  And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath
 called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
   Kings-2|3:11  But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the
 LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of
 Israel's servants answered and said, Here [is] Elisha the son of Shaphat,
 which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
   Kings-2|3:12  And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So
 the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
   Kings-2|3:13  And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do
 with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of
 thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath
 called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
   Kings-2|3:14  And Elisha said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom
 I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the
 king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
   Kings-2|3:15  But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the
 minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
   Kings-2|3:16  And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of

 ditches.
   Kings-2|3:17  For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither
 shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may
 drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
   Kings-2|3:18  And this is [but] a light thing in the sight of the LORD:
 he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
   Kings-2|3:19  And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice
 city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar
 every good piece of land with stones.
   Kings-2|3:20  And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering
 was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the
 country was filled with water.
   Kings-2|3:21  And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up
 to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour,
 and upward, and stood in the border.
   Kings-2|3:22  And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone
 upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side [as] red
 as blood:
   Kings-2|3:23  And they said, This [is] blood: the kings are surely slain,
 and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
   Kings-2|3:24  And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites

 rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they
 went forward smiting the Moabites, even in [their] country.
   Kings-2|3:25  And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of
 land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the
 wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left
 they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about [it], and smote
 it.
   Kings-2|3:26  And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore
 for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break
 through [even] unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
   Kings-2|3:27  Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his
 stead, and offered him [for] a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was
 great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned
 to [their own] land.
   Kings-2|4:1  Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of
 the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou
 knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to
 take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
   Kings-2|4:2  And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me,
 what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any
 thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

   Kings-2|4:3  Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy
 neighbours, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.
   Kings-2|4:4  And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon
 thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou
 shalt set aside that which is full.
   Kings-2|4:5  So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon
 her sons, who brought [the vessels] to her; and she poured out.
   Kings-2|4:6  And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she
 said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, [There is]
 not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
   Kings-2|4:7  Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell
 the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
   Kings-2|4:8  And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where
 [was] a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And [so] it was,
 [that] as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
   Kings-2|4:9  And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that
 this [is] an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
   Kings-2|4:10  Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and
 let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a
 candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in
 thither.

   Kings-2|4:11  And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned
 into the chamber, and lay there.
   Kings-2|4:12  And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite.
 And when he had called her, she stood before him.
   Kings-2|4:13  And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast
 been careful for us with all this care; what [is] to be done for thee?
 wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And
 she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
   Kings-2|4:14  And he said, What then [is] to be done for her? And Gehazi
 answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
   Kings-2|4:15  And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she
 stood in the door.
   Kings-2|4:16  And he said, About this season, according to the time of
 life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, [thou] man of
 God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
   Kings-2|4:17  And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that
 Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
   Kings-2|4:18  And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he
 went out to his father to the reapers.
   Kings-2|4:19  And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said
 to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

   Kings-2|4:20  And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother,
 he sat on her knees till noon, and [then] died.
   Kings-2|4:21  And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God,
 and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.
   Kings-2|4:22  And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray
 thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man
 of God, and come again.
   Kings-2|4:23  And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? [it is]
 neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, [It shall be] well.
   Kings-2|4:24  Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive,
 and go forward; slack not [thy] riding for me, except I bid thee.
   Kings-2|4:25  So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel.
 And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to
 Gehazi his servant, Behold, [yonder is] that Shunammite:
   Kings-2|4:26  Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, [Is
 it] well with thee? [is it] well with thy husband? [is it] well with the
 child? And she answered, [It is] well.
   Kings-2|4:27  And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught
 him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of
 God said, Let her alone; for her soul [is] vexed within her: and the LORD
 hath hid [it] from me, and hath not told me.

   Kings-2|4:28  Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not
 say, Do not deceive me?
   Kings-2|4:29  Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my
 staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not;
 and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the
 face of the child.
   Kings-2|4:30  And the mother of the child said, [As] the LORD liveth, and
 [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed
 her.
   Kings-2|4:31  And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon
 the face of the child; but [there was] neither voice, nor hearing.
 Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not
 awaked.
   Kings-2|4:32  And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child
 was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.
   Kings-2|4:33  He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain,
 and prayed unto the LORD.
   Kings-2|4:34  And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth
 upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands:
 and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed
 warm.

   Kings-2|4:35  Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and
 went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times,
 and the child opened his eyes.
   Kings-2|4:36  And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he
 called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
   Kings-2|4:37  Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself
 to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
   Kings-2|4:38  And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and [there was] a dearth
 in the land; and the sons of the prophets [were] sitting before him: and he
 said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the
 sons of the prophets.
   Kings-2|4:39  And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found
 a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and
 shred [them] into the pot of pottage: for they knew [them] not.
   Kings-2|4:40  So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass,
 as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O [thou]
 man of God, [there is] death in the pot. And they could not eat [thereof].
   Kings-2|4:41  But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast [it] into the
 pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was
 no harm in the pot.
   Kings-2|4:42  And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man

 of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of
 corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may
 eat.
   Kings-2|4:43  And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an
 hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus
 saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave [thereof].
   Kings-2|4:44  So he set [it] before them, and they did eat, and left
 [thereof], according to the word of the LORD.
   Kings-2|5:1  Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a
 great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had
 given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, [but he
 was] a leper.
   Kings-2|5:2  And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought
 away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on
 Naaman's wife.
   Kings-2|5:3  And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord [were]
 with the prophet that [is] in Samaria! for he would recover him of his
 leprosy.
   Kings-2|5:4  And [one] went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus
 said the maid that [is] of the land of Israel.
   Kings-2|5:5  And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a

 letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten
 talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of
 raiment.
   Kings-2|5:6  And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now
 when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have [therewith] sent Naaman
 my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.
   Kings-2|5:7  And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the
 letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, [Am] I God, to kill and to make
 alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy?
 wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against
 me.
   Kings-2|5:8  And it was [so], when Elisha the man of God had heard that
 the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying,
 Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall
 know that there is a prophet in Israel.
   Kings-2|5:9  So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and
 stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
   Kings-2|5:10  And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash
 in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou
 shalt be clean.
   Kings-2|5:11  But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I

 thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of
 the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the
 leper.
   Kings-2|5:12  [Are] not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better
 than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he
 turned and went away in a rage.
   Kings-2|5:13  And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said,
 My father, [if] the prophet had bid thee [do some] great thing, wouldest
 thou not have done [it]? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash,
 and be clean?
   Kings-2|5:14  Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in
 Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again
 like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
   Kings-2|5:15  And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company,
 and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that [there
 is] no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee,
 take a blessing of thy servant.
   Kings-2|5:16  But he said, [As] the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I
 will receive none. And he urged him to take [it]; but he refused.
   Kings-2|5:17  And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be
 given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy servant will

 henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but
 unto the LORD.
   Kings-2|5:18  In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, [that] when my
 master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on
 my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in
 the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.
   Kings-2|5:19  And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him
 a little way.
   Kings-2|5:20  But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said,
 Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his
 hands that which he brought: but, [as] the LORD liveth, I will run after
 him, and take somewhat of him.
   Kings-2|5:21  So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw [him]
 running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said,
 [Is] all well?
   Kings-2|5:22  And he said, All [is] well. My master hath sent me, saying,
 Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of
 the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and
 two changes of garments.
   Kings-2|5:23  And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged
 him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of

 garments, and laid [them] upon two of his servants; and they bare [them]
 before him.
   Kings-2|5:24  And when he came to the tower, he took [them] from their
 hand, and bestowed [them] in the house: and he let the men go, and they
 departed.
   Kings-2|5:25  But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha
 said unto him, Whence [comest thou], Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went
 no whither.
   Kings-2|5:26  And he said unto him, Went not mine heart [with thee], when
 the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? [Is it] a time to
 receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and
 sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
   Kings-2|5:27  The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and
 unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper [as
 white] as snow.
   Kings-2|6:1  And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now,
 the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
   Kings-2|6:2  Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every
 man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he
 answered, Go ye.
   Kings-2|6:3  And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy

 servants. And he answered, I will go.
   Kings-2|6:4  So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut
 down wood.
   Kings-2|6:5  But as one was felling a beam, the ax head fell into the
 water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
   Kings-2|6:6  And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him
 the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast [it] in thither; and the iron
 did swim.
   Kings-2|6:7  Therefore said he, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his
 hand, and took it.
   Kings-2|6:8  Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took
 counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place [shall be] my
 camp.
   Kings-2|6:9  And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying,
 Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come
 down.
   Kings-2|6:10  And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of
 God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor
 twice.
   Kings-2|6:11  Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled
 for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not

 show me which of us [is] for the king of Israel?
   Kings-2|6:12  And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but
 Elisha, the prophet that [is] in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the
 words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
   Kings-2|6:13  And he said, Go and spy where he [is], that I may send and
 fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothan.
   Kings-2|6:14  Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great
 host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
   Kings-2|6:15  And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and
 gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and
 chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
   Kings-2|6:16  And he answered, Fear not: for they that [be] with us [are]
 more than they that [be] with them.
   Kings-2|6:17  And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his
 eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and
 he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire
 round about Elisha.
   Kings-2|6:18  And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the
 LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he
 smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
   Kings-2|6:19  And Elisha said unto them, This [is] not the way, neither

 [is] this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye
 seek. But he led them to Samaria.
   Kings-2|6:20  And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that
 Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these [men], that they may see. And the
 LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, [they were] in the midst
 of Samaria.
   Kings-2|6:21  And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them,
 My father, shall I smite [them]? shall I smite [them]?
   Kings-2|6:22  And he answered, Thou shalt not smite [them]: wouldest thou
 smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow?
 set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to
 their master.
   Kings-2|6:23  And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had
 eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the
 bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
   Kings-2|6:24  And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria
 gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
   Kings-2|6:25  And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they
 besieged it, until an ass's head was [sold] for fourscore [pieces] of
 silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five [pieces] of
 silver.

   Kings-2|6:26  And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall,
 there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
   Kings-2|6:27  And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I
 help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
   Kings-2|6:28  And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she
 answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to
 day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
   Kings-2|6:29  So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her
 on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her
 son.
   Kings-2|6:30  And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the
 woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the
 people looked, and, behold, [he had] sackcloth within upon his flesh.
   Kings-2|6:31  Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of
 Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
   Kings-2|6:32  But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him;
 and [the king] sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to
 him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to
 take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and
 hold him fast at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind
 him?

   Kings-2|6:33  And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger
 came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the LORD; what
 should I wait for the LORD any longer?
   Kings-2|7:1  Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith
 the LORD, To morrow about this time [shall] a measure of fine flour [be
 sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of
 Samaria.
   Kings-2|7:2  Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man
 of God, and said, Behold, [if] the LORD would make windows in heaven, might
 this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see [it] with thine eyes,
 but shalt not eat thereof.
   Kings-2|7:3  And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the
 gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
   Kings-2|7:4  If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine [is]
 in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also.
 Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they
 save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
   Kings-2|7:5  And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the
 Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of
 Syria, behold, [there was] no man there.
   Kings-2|7:6  For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a

 noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, [even] the noise of a great host:
 and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us
 the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
   Kings-2|7:7  Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left
 their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it [was],
 and fled for their life.
   Kings-2|7:8  And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the
 camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence
 silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid [it]; and came again, and
 entered into another tent, and carried thence [also], and went and hid
 [it].
   Kings-2|7:9  Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day [is]
 a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning
 light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go
 and tell the king's household.
   Kings-2|7:10  So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and
 they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold,
 [there was] no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses
 tied, and the tents as they [were].
   Kings-2|7:11  And he called the porters; and they told [it] to the king's
 house within.

   Kings-2|7:12  And the king arose in the night, and said unto his
 servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know
 that we [be] hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide
 themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall
 catch them alive, and get into the city.
   Kings-2|7:13  And one of his servants answered and said, Let [some] take,
 I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city,
 (behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it:
 behold, [I say], they [are] even as all the multitude of the Israelites
 that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
   Kings-2|7:14  They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent
 after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
   Kings-2|7:15  And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way
 [was] full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in
 their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
   Kings-2|7:16  And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the
 Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was [sold] for a shekel, and two
 measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
   Kings-2|7:17  And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to
 have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and
 he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to

 him.
   Kings-2|7:18  And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the
 king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine
 flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of
 Samaria:
   Kings-2|7:19  And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now,
 behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?
 And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat
 thereof.
   Kings-2|7:20  And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him
 in the gate, and he died.
   Kings-2|8:1  Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored
 to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn
 wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and
 it shall also come upon the land seven years.
   Kings-2|8:2  And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of
 God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the
 Philistines seven years.
   Kings-2|8:3  And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman
 returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto
 the king for her house and for her land.

   Kings-2|8:4  And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of
 God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath
 done.
   Kings-2|8:5  And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had
 restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had
 restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And
 Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son,
 whom Elisha restored to life.
   Kings-2|8:6  And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king
 appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that [was] hers,
 and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even
 until now.
   Kings-2|8:7  And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria
 was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
   Kings-2|8:8  And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand,
 and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall
 I recover of this disease?
   Kings-2|8:9  So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him,
 even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and
 stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to
 thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?

   Kings-2|8:10  And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest
 certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath showed me that he shall surely
 die.
   Kings-2|8:11  And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was
 ashamed: and the man of God wept.
   Kings-2|8:12  And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered,
 Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel:
 their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou
 slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women
 with child.
   Kings-2|8:13  And Hazael said, But what, [is] thy servant a dog, that he
 should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath showed me
 that thou [shalt be] king over Syria.
   Kings-2|8:14  So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who
 said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me [that]
 thou shouldest surely recover.
   Kings-2|8:15  And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick
 cloth, and dipped [it] in water, and spread [it] on his face, so that he
 died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|8:16  And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of
 Israel, Jehoshaphat [being] then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of

 Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
   Kings-2|8:17  Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and
 he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|8:18  And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the
 house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in
 the sight of the LORD.
   Kings-2|8:19  Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his
 servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, [and] to his
 children.
   Kings-2|8:20  In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and
 made a king over themselves.
   Kings-2|8:21  So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him:
 and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and
 the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
   Kings-2|8:22  Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this
 day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
   Kings-2|8:23  And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|8:24  And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
 fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|8:25  In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel

 did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
   Kings-2|8:26  Two and twenty years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to
 reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was]
 Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
   Kings-2|8:27  And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil
 in the sight of the LORD, as [did] the house of Ahab: for he [was] the son
 in law of the house of Ahab.
   Kings-2|8:28  And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against
 Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
   Kings-2|8:29  And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the
 wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against
 Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went
 down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
   Kings-2|9:1  And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the
 prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in
 thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
   Kings-2|9:2  And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of
 Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among
 his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
   Kings-2|9:3  Then take the box of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and
 say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open

 the door, and flee, and tarry not.
   Kings-2|9:4  So the young man, [even] the young man the prophet, went to
 Ramothgilead.
   Kings-2|9:5  And when he came, behold, the captains of the host [were]
 sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said,
 Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
   Kings-2|9:6  And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil
 on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have
 anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, [even] over Israel.
   Kings-2|9:7  And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I
 may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the
 servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
   Kings-2|9:8  For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off
 from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and
 left in Israel:
   Kings-2|9:9  And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam
 the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
   Kings-2|9:10  And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel,
 and [there shall be] none to bury [her]. And he opened the door, and fled.
   Kings-2|9:11  Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and [one]
 said unto him, [Is] all well? wherefore came this mad [fellow] to thee? And

 he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
   Kings-2|9:12  And they said, [It is] false; tell us now. And he said,
 Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed
 thee king over Israel.
   Kings-2|9:13  Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put
 [it] under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying,
 Jehu is king.
   Kings-2|9:14  So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired
 against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because
 of Hazael king of Syria.
   Kings-2|9:15  But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the
 wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of
 Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, [then] let none go forth [nor]
 escape out of the city to go to tell [it] in Jezreel.
   Kings-2|9:16  So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram
 lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
   Kings-2|9:17  And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he
 spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram
 said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, [Is it]
 peace?
   Kings-2|9:18  So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus

 saith the king, [Is it] peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with
 peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger
 came to them, but he cometh not again.
   Kings-2|9:19  Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them,
 and said, Thus saith the king, [Is it] peace? And Jehu answered, What hast
 thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
   Kings-2|9:20  And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and
 cometh not again: and the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu the son of
 Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
   Kings-2|9:21  And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready.
 And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his
 chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of
 Naboth the Jezreelite.
   Kings-2|9:22  And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, [Is
 it] peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of
 thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts [are so] many?
   Kings-2|9:23  And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah,
 [There is] treachery, O Ahaziah.
   Kings-2|9:24  And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote
 Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk
 down in his chariot.

   Kings-2|9:25  Then said [Jehu] to Bidkar his captain, Take up, [and] cast
 him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how
 that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid
 this burden upon him;
   Kings-2|9:26  Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the
 blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat,
 saith the LORD. Now therefore take [and] cast him into the plat [of
 ground], according to the word of the LORD.
   Kings-2|9:27  But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw [this], he fled by
 the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite
 him also in the chariot. [And they did so] at the going up to Gur, which
 [is] by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
   Kings-2|9:28  And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and
 buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
   Kings-2|9:29  And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began
 Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
   Kings-2|9:30  And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard [of it];
 and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
   Kings-2|9:31  And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, [Had] Zimri
 peace, who slew his master?
   Kings-2|9:32  And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who [is]

 on my side? who? And there looked out to him two [or] three eunuchs.
   Kings-2|9:33  And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and
 [some] of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he
 trode her under foot.
   Kings-2|9:34  And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said,
 Go, see now this cursed [woman], and bury her: for she [is] a king's
 daughter.
   Kings-2|9:35  And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her
 than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of [her] hands.
   Kings-2|9:36  Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This
 [is] the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the
 Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of
 Jezebel:
   Kings-2|9:37  And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face
 of the field in the portion of Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This
 [is] Jezebel.
   Kings-2|10:1  And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote
 letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders,
 and to them that brought up Ahab's [children], saying,
   Kings-2|10:2  Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your
 master's sons [are] with you, and [there are] with you chariots and horses,

 a fenced city also, and armour;
   Kings-2|10:3  Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons,
 and set [him] on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
   Kings-2|10:4  But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two
 kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
   Kings-2|10:5  And he that [was] over the house, and he that [was] over
 the city, the elders also, and the bringers up [of the children], sent to
 Jehu, saying, We [are] thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid
 us; we will not make any king: do thou [that which is] good in thine eyes.
   Kings-2|10:6  Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If
 ye [be] mine, and [if] ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of
 the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this
 time. Now the king's sons, [being] seventy persons, [were] with the great
 men of the city, which brought them up.
   Kings-2|10:7  And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that
 they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in
 baskets, and sent him [them] to Jezreel.
   Kings-2|10:8  And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have
 brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps
 at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
   Kings-2|10:9  And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and

 stood, and said to all the people, Ye [be] righteous: behold, I conspired
 against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
   Kings-2|10:10  Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of
 the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab:
 for the LORD hath done [that] which he spake by his servant Elijah.
   Kings-2|10:11  So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in
 Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until
 he left him none remaining.
   Kings-2|10:12  And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. [And] as
 he [was] at the shearing house in the way,
   Kings-2|10:13  Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and
 said, Who [are] ye? And they answered, We [are] the brethren of Ahaziah;
 and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the
 queen.
   Kings-2|10:14  And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive,
 and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, [even] two and forty men;
 neither left he any of them.
   Kings-2|10:15  And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab
 the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to
 him, Is thine heart right, as my heart [is] with thy heart? And Jehonadab
 answered, It is. If it be, give [me] thine hand. And he gave [him] his

 hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
   Kings-2|10:16  And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.
 So they made him ride in his chariot.
   Kings-2|10:17  And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained
 unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of
 the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.
   Kings-2|10:18  And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto
 them, Ahab served Baal a little; [but] Jehu shall serve him much.
   Kings-2|10:19  Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all
 his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great
 sacrifice [to do] to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live.
 But Jehu did [it] in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the
 worshippers of Baal.
   Kings-2|10:20  And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And
 they proclaimed [it].
   Kings-2|10:21  And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers
 of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came
 into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to
 another.
   Kings-2|10:22  And he said unto him that [was] over the vestry, Bring
 forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth

 vestments.
   Kings-2|10:23  And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the
 house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that
 there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the
 worshippers of Baal only.
   Kings-2|10:24  And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt
 offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, [If] any of the
 men whom I have brought into your hands escape, [he that letteth him go],
 his life [shall be] for the life of him.
   Kings-2|10:25  And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of
 offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the
 captains, Go in, [and] slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them
 with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast [them] out,
 and went to the city of the house of Baal.
   Kings-2|10:26  And they brought forth the images out of the house of
 Baal, and burned them.
   Kings-2|10:27  And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the
 house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
   Kings-2|10:28  Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
   Kings-2|10:29  Howbeit [from] the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who
 made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, [to wit], the golden

 calves that [were] in Bethel, and that [were] in Dan.
   Kings-2|10:30  And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well
 in executing [that which is] right in mine eyes, [and] hast done unto the
 house of Ahab according to all that [was] in mine heart, thy children of
 the fourth [generation] shall sit on the throne of Israel.
   Kings-2|10:31  But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God
 of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of
 Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
   Kings-2|10:32  In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and
 Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
   Kings-2|10:33  From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites,
 and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which [is] by the river
 Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
   Kings-2|10:34  Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and
 all his might, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the
 kings of Israel?
   Kings-2|10:35  And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in
 Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|10:36  And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria
 [was] twenty and eight years.
   Kings-2|11:1  And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son

 was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
   Kings-2|11:2  But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of
 Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's
 sons [which were] slain; and they hid him, [even] him and his nurse, in the
 bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
   Kings-2|11:3  And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years.
 And Athaliah did reign over the land.
   Kings-2|11:4  And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers
 over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him
 into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath
 of them in the house of the LORD, and showed them the king's son.
   Kings-2|11:5  And he commanded them, saying, This [is] the thing that ye
 shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be
 keepers of the watch of the king's house;
   Kings-2|11:6  And a third part [shall be] at the gate of Sur; and a third
 part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house,
 that it be not broken down.
   Kings-2|11:7  And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even
 they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.
   Kings-2|11:8  And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with
 his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be

 slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
   Kings-2|11:9  And the captains over the hundreds did according to all
 [things] that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his
 men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on
 the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
   Kings-2|11:10  And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king
 David's spears and shields, that [were] in the temple of the LORD.
   Kings-2|11:11  And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his
 hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left
 corner of the temple, [along] by the altar and the temple.
   Kings-2|11:12  And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown
 upon him, and [gave him] the testimony; and they made him king, and
 anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
   Kings-2|11:13  And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [and] of
 the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.
   Kings-2|11:14  And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar,
 as the manner [was], and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and
 all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah
 rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
   Kings-2|11:15  But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the
 hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth

 without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the
 priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|11:16  And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the
 which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
   Kings-2|11:17  And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king
 and the people, that they should be the LORD'S people; between the king
 also and the people.
   Kings-2|11:18  And all the people of the land went into the house of
 Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces
 thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the
 priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|11:19  And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains,
 and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the
 king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the
 guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
   Kings-2|11:20  And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was
 in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword [beside] the king's house.
   Kings-2|11:21  Seven years old [was] Jehoash when he began to reign.
   Kings-2|12:1  In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and
 forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Zibiah of
 Beersheba.

   Kings-2|12:2  And Jehoash did [that which was] right in the sight of the
 LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
   Kings-2|12:3  But the high places were not taken away: the people still
 sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
   Kings-2|12:4  And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the
 dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, [even] the
 money of every one that passeth [the account], the money that every man is
 set at, [and] all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into
 the house of the LORD,
   Kings-2|12:5  Let the priests take [it] to them, every man of his
 acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever
 any breach shall be found.
   Kings-2|12:6  But it was [so, that] in the three and twentieth year of
 king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
   Kings-2|12:7  Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the
 [other] priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the
 house? now therefore receive no [more] money of your acquaintance, but
 deliver it for the breaches of the house.
   Kings-2|12:8  And the priests consented to receive no [more] money of the
 people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
   Kings-2|12:9  But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in

 the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh
 into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein
 all the money [that was] brought into the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|12:10  And it was [so], when they saw that [there was] much money
 in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they
 put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|12:11  And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of
 them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD:
 and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the
 house of the LORD,
   Kings-2|12:12  And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and
 hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all
 that was laid out for the house to repair [it].
   Kings-2|12:13  Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD
 bowls of silver, snuffers, basins, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or
 vessels of silver, of the money [that was] brought into the house of the
 LORD:
   Kings-2|12:14  But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith
 the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|12:15  Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand
 they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt

 faithfully.
   Kings-2|12:16  The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the
 house of the LORD: it was the priests'.
   Kings-2|12:17  Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against
 Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|12:18  And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things
 that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah,
 had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold [that was]
 found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house,
 and sent [it] to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|12:19  And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|12:20  And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew
 Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.
   Kings-2|12:21  For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of
 Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his
 fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|13:1  In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah
 king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in
 Samaria, [and reigned] seventeen years.
   Kings-2|13:2  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,

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

 Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|13:10  In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah
 began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and
 reigned] sixteen years.
   Kings-2|13:11  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD;
 he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
 Israel sin: [but] he walked therein.
   Kings-2|13:12  And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did,
 and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, [are] they
 not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
   Kings-2|13:13  And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon
 his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
   Kings-2|13:14  Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he
 died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his
 face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the
 horsemen thereof.
   Kings-2|13:15  And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took
 unto him bow and arrows.
   Kings-2|13:16  And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the
 bow. And he put his hand [upon it]: and Elisha put his hands upon the
 king's hands.

   Kings-2|13:17  And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened [it].
 Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD'S
 deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite
 the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed [them].
   Kings-2|13:18  And he said, Take the arrows. And he took [them]. And he
 said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice,
 and stayed.
   Kings-2|13:19  And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou
 shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria
 till thou hadst consumed [it]: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria [but]
 thrice.
   Kings-2|13:20  And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the
 Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
   Kings-2|13:21  And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that,
 behold, they spied a band [of men]; and they cast the man into the
 sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones
 of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
   Kings-2|13:22  But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of
 Jehoahaz.
   Kings-2|13:23  And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on
 them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham,

 Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his
 presence as yet.
   Kings-2|13:24  So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned
 in his stead.
   Kings-2|13:25  And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand
 of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the
 hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and
 recovered the cities of Israel.
   Kings-2|14:1  In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel
 reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
   Kings-2|14:2  He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign,
 and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was]
 Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|14:3  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD,
 yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his
 father did.
   Kings-2|14:4  Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the
 people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.
   Kings-2|14:5  And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed
 in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.
   Kings-2|14:6  But the children of the murderers he slew not: according

 unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the
 LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the
 children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man
 shall be put to death for his own sin.
   Kings-2|14:7  He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and
 took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.
   Kings-2|14:8  Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of
 Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another
 in the face.
   Kings-2|14:9  And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of
 Judah, saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar that
 [was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there
 passed by a wild beast that [was] in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
   Kings-2|14:10  Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted
 thee up: glory [of this], and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle
 to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, [even] thou, and Judah with thee?
   Kings-2|14:11  But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of
 Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the
 face at Bethshemesh, which [belongeth] to Judah.
   Kings-2|14:12  And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they
 fled every man to their tents.

   Kings-2|14:13  And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the
 son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem,
 and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the
 corner gate, four hundred cubits.
   Kings-2|14:14  And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels
 that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the
 king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
   Kings-2|14:15  Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his
 might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, [are] they not written
 in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
   Kings-2|14:16  And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in
 Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his
 stead.
   Kings-2|14:17  And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the
 death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
   Kings-2|14:18  And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, [are] they not
 written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|14:19  Now they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: and
 he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
   Kings-2|14:20  And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at
 Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.

   Kings-2|14:21  And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which [was]
 sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
   Kings-2|14:22  He built Elath, and restored it to Judah, after that the
 king slept with his fathers.
   Kings-2|14:23  In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son of Joash king of
 Judah Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria,
 [and reigned] forty and one years.
   Kings-2|14:24  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD:
 he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made
 Israel to sin.
   Kings-2|14:25  He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of
 Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of
 Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of
 Amittai, the prophet, which [was] of Gathhepher.
   Kings-2|14:26  For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, [that it was]
 very bitter: for [there was] not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper
 for Israel.
   Kings-2|14:27  And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of
 Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son
 of Joash.
   Kings-2|14:28  Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did,

 and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath,
 [which belonged] to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of
 the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
   Kings-2|14:29  And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, [even] with the kings
 of Israel; and Zachariah his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|15:1  In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel
 began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
   Kings-2|15:2  Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he
 reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was]
 Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|15:3  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD,
 according to all that his father Amaziah had done;
   Kings-2|15:4  Save that the high places were not removed: the people
 sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
   Kings-2|15:5  And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto
 the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's
 son [was] over the house, judging the people of the land.
   Kings-2|15:6  And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|15:7  So Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with
 his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

   Kings-2|15:8  In the thirty and eighth year of Azariah king of Judah did
 Zachariah the son of Jeroboam reign over Israel in Samaria six months.
   Kings-2|15:9  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,
 as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son
 of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.
   Kings-2|15:10  And Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and
 smote him before the people, and slew him, and reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|15:11  And the rest of the acts of Zachariah, behold, they [are]
 written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
   Kings-2|15:12  This [was] the word of the LORD which he spake unto Jehu,
 saying, Thy sons shall sit on the throne of Israel unto the fourth
 [generation]. And so it came to pass.
   Kings-2|15:13  Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the nine and
 thirtieth year of Uzziah king of Judah; and he reigned a full month in
 Samaria.
   Kings-2|15:14  For Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, and came
 to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, and slew him,
 and reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|15:15  And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy
 which he made, behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of
 the kings of Israel.

   Kings-2|15:16  Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that [were] therein,
 and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not [to him],
 therefore he smote [it; and] all the women therein that were with child he
 ripped up.
   Kings-2|15:17  In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah
 began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, [and reigned] ten years
 in Samaria.
   Kings-2|15:18  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD:
 he departed not all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
 who made Israel to sin.
   Kings-2|15:19  [And] Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and
 Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with
 him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
   Kings-2|15:20  And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, [even] of all the
 mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the
 king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there
 in the land.
   Kings-2|15:21  And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
 Israel?
   Kings-2|15:22  And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son

 reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|15:23  In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the
 son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and reigned] two
 years.
   Kings-2|15:24  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD:
 he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel
 to sin.
   Kings-2|15:25  But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired
 against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house,
 with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he
 killed him, and reigned in his room.
   Kings-2|15:26  And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did,
 behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
 Israel.
   Kings-2|15:27  In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah
 Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, [and
 reigned] twenty years.
   Kings-2|15:28  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD:
 he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel
 to sin.
   Kings-2|15:29  In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser

 king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and
 Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and
 carried them captive to Assyria.
   Kings-2|15:30  And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah
 the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead,
 in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
   Kings-2|15:31  And the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did,
 behold, they [are] written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of
 Israel.
   Kings-2|15:32  In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of
 Israel began Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.
   Kings-2|15:33  Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign,
 and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was]
 Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
   Kings-2|15:34  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the
 LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
   Kings-2|15:35  Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people
 sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher
 gate of the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|15:36  Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

   Kings-2|15:37  In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin
 the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.
   Kings-2|15:38  And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
 fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his
 stead.
   Kings-2|16:1  In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz
 the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
   Kings-2|16:2  Twenty years old [was] Ahaz when he began to reign, and
 reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not [that which was] right in
 the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.
   Kings-2|16:3  But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and
 made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the
 heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.
   Kings-2|16:4  And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and
 on the hills, and under every green tree.
   Kings-2|16:5  Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of
 Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not
 overcome [him].
   Kings-2|16:6  At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria,
 and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt
 there unto this day.

   Kings-2|16:7  So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria,
 saying, I [am] thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the
 hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which
 rise up against me.
   Kings-2|16:8  And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the
 house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent [it
 for] a present to the king of Assyria.
   Kings-2|16:9  And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of
 Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried [the people of]
 it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
   Kings-2|16:10  And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king
 of Assyria, and saw an altar that [was] at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to
 Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it,
 according to all the workmanship thereof.
   Kings-2|16:11  And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that
 king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made [it] against
 king Ahaz came from Damascus.
   Kings-2|16:12  And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the
 altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon.
   Kings-2|16:13  And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and
 poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings,

 upon the altar.
   Kings-2|16:14  And he brought also the brazen altar, which [was] before
 the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the
 house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.
   Kings-2|16:15  And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon
 the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat
 offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the
 burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and
 their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt
 offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brazen altar shall be
 for me to inquire [by].
   Kings-2|16:16  Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king
 Ahaz commanded.
   Kings-2|16:17  And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and
 removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen
 oxen that [were] under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones.
   Kings-2|16:18  And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the
 house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD
 for the king of Assyria.
   Kings-2|16:19  Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, [are] they
 not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

   Kings-2|16:20  And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his
 fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|17:1  In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the
 son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
   Kings-2|17:2  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,
 but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
   Kings-2|17:3  Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea
 became his servant, and gave him presents.
   Kings-2|17:4  And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he
 had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king
 of Assyria, as [he had done] year by year: therefore the king of Assyria
 shut him up, and bound him in prison.
   Kings-2|17:5  Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land,
 and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
   Kings-2|17:6  In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took
 Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and
 in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
   Kings-2|17:7  For [so] it was, that the children of Israel had sinned
 against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of
 Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other
 gods,

   Kings-2|17:8  And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD
 cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel,
 which they had made.
   Kings-2|17:9  And the children of Israel did secretly [those] things that
 [were] not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high
 places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced
 city.
   Kings-2|17:10  And they set them up images and groves in every high hill,
 and under every green tree:
   Kings-2|17:11  And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as
 [did] the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought
 wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
   Kings-2|17:12  For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto
 them, Ye shall not do this thing.
   Kings-2|17:13  Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah,
 by all the prophets, [and by] all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil
 ways, and keep my commandments [and] my statutes, according to all the law
 which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the
 prophets.
   Kings-2|17:14  Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their
 necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD

 their God.
   Kings-2|17:15  And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he
 made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against
 them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen
 that [were] round about them, [concerning] whom the LORD had charged them,
 that they should not do like them.
   Kings-2|17:16  And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God,
 and made them molten images, [even] two calves, and made a grove, and
 worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
   Kings-2|17:17  And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass
 through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves
 to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
   Kings-2|17:18  Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed
 them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
   Kings-2|17:19  Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their
 God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
   Kings-2|17:20  And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and
 afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had
 cast them out of his sight.
   Kings-2|17:21  For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made
 Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following

 the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
   Kings-2|17:22  For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of
 Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
   Kings-2|17:23  Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had
 said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of
 their own land to Assyria unto this day.
   Kings-2|17:24  And the king of Assyria brought [men] from Babylon, and
 from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed
 [them] in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they
 possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
   Kings-2|17:25  And [so] it was at the beginning of their dwelling there,
 [that] they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them,
 which slew [some] of them.
   Kings-2|17:26  Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The
 nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know
 not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among
 them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the
 God of the land.
   Kings-2|17:27  Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither
 one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell
 there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

   Kings-2|17:28  Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from
 Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the
 LORD.
   Kings-2|17:29  Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put
 [them] in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made,
 every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
   Kings-2|17:30  And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of
 Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
   Kings-2|17:31  And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites
 burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of
 Sepharvaim.
   Kings-2|17:32  So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the
 lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the
 houses of the high places.
   Kings-2|17:33  They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the
 manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
   Kings-2|17:34  Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear
 not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their
 ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the
 children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
   Kings-2|17:35  With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them,

 saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve
 them, nor sacrifice to them:
   Kings-2|17:36  But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
 with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall
 ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
   Kings-2|17:37  And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the
 commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore;
 and ye shall not fear other gods.
   Kings-2|17:38  And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not
 forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
   Kings-2|17:39  But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver
 you out of the hand of all your enemies.
   Kings-2|17:40  Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their
 former manner.
   Kings-2|17:41  So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven
 images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their
 fathers, so do they unto this day.
   Kings-2|18:1  Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah
 king of Israel, [that] Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to
 reign.
   Kings-2|18:2  Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign;

 and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also
 [was] Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
   Kings-2|18:3  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD,
 according to all that David his father did.
   Kings-2|18:4  He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut
 down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had
 made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it:
 and he called it Nehushtan.
   Kings-2|18:5  He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was
 none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [any] that were before him.
   Kings-2|18:6  For he clave to the LORD, [and] departed not from following
 him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
   Kings-2|18:7  And the LORD was with him; [and] he prospered whithersoever
 he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him
 not.
   Kings-2|18:8  He smote the Philistines, [even] unto Gaza, and the borders
 thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
   Kings-2|18:9  And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah,
 which [was] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, [that]
 Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
   Kings-2|18:10  And at the end of three years they took it: [even] in the

 sixth year of Hezekiah, that [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel,
 Samaria was taken.
   Kings-2|18:11  And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto
 Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in
 the cities of the Medes:
   Kings-2|18:12  Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God,
 but transgressed his covenant, [and] all that Moses the servant of the LORD
 commanded, and would not hear [them], nor do [them].
   Kings-2|18:13  Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did
 Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah,
 and took them.
   Kings-2|18:14  And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to
 Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest
 on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of
 Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
   Kings-2|18:15  And Hezekiah gave [him] all the silver that was found in
 the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.
   Kings-2|18:16  At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the
 doors of the temple of the LORD, and [from] the pillars which Hezekiah king
 of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
   Kings-2|18:17  And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and

 Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against
 Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come
 up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which [is] in the
 highway of the fuller's field.
   Kings-2|18:18  And when they had called to the king, there came out to
 them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which [was] over the household, and Shebna
 the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
   Kings-2|18:19  And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah,
 Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence [is] this
 wherein thou trustest?
   Kings-2|18:20  Thou sayest, (but [they are but] vain words), [I have]
 counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou
 rebellest against me?
   Kings-2|18:21  Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised
 reed, [even] upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand,
 and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
   Kings-2|18:22  But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is]
 not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away,
 and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in
 Jerusalem?
   Kings-2|18:23  Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the

 king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be
 able on thy part to set riders upon them.
   Kings-2|18:24  How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of
 the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots
 and for horsemen?
   Kings-2|18:25  Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to
 destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
   Kings-2|18:26  Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and
 Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian
 language; for we understand [it]: and talk not with us in the Jews'
 language in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.
   Kings-2|18:27  But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to
 thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to
 the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink
 their own piss with you?
   Kings-2|18:28  Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the
 Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the
 king of Assyria:
   Kings-2|18:29  Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he
 shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
   Kings-2|18:30  Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying,

 The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into
 the hand of the king of Assyria.
   Kings-2|18:31  Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of
 Assyria, Make [an agreement] with me by a present, and come out to me, and
 [then] eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and
 drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
   Kings-2|18:32  Until I come and take you away to a land like your own
 land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil
 olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto
 Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.
   Kings-2|18:33  Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his
 land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
   Kings-2|18:34  Where [are] the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where [are]
 the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of
 mine hand?
   Kings-2|18:35  Who [are] they among all the gods of the countries, that
 have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver
 Jerusalem out of mine hand?
   Kings-2|18:36  But the people held their peace, and answered him not a
 word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
   Kings-2|18:37  Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which [was] over the

 household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder,
 to Hezekiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
   Kings-2|19:1  And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he
 rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the
 house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|19:2  And he sent Eliakim, which [was] over the household, and
 Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth,
 to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
   Kings-2|19:3  And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is]
 a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come
 to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
   Kings-2|19:4  It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of
 Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the
 living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard:
 wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that are left.
   Kings-2|19:5  So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
   Kings-2|19:6  And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your
 master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast
 heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
   Kings-2|19:7  Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a
 rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by

 the sword in his own land.
   Kings-2|19:8  So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria
 warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
   Kings-2|19:9  And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold,
 he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto
 Hezekiah, saying,
   Kings-2|19:10  Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let
 not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not
 be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
   Kings-2|19:11  Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have
 done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
   Kings-2|19:12  Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my
 fathers have destroyed; [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children
 of Eden which [were] in Thelasar?
   Kings-2|19:13  Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and
 the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
   Kings-2|19:14  And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the
 messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD,
 and spread it before the LORD.
   Kings-2|19:15  And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God
 of Israel, which dwellest [between] the cherubims, thou art the God, [even]

 thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and
 earth.
   Kings-2|19:16  LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine
 eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to
 reproach the living God.
   Kings-2|19:17  Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the
 nations and their lands,
   Kings-2|19:18  And have cast their gods into the fire: for they [were] no
 gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have
 destroyed them.
   Kings-2|19:19  Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou
 us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou
 [art] the LORD God, [even] thou only.
   Kings-2|19:20  Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus
 saith the LORD God of Israel, [That] which thou hast prayed to me against
 Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
   Kings-2|19:21  This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning
 him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, [and] laughed thee
 to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
   Kings-2|19:22  Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom
 hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even]

 against the Holy [One] of Israel.
   Kings-2|19:23  By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast
 said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the
 mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees
 thereof, [and] the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the
 lodgings of his borders, [and into] the forest of his Carmel.
   Kings-2|19:24  I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole
 of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
   Kings-2|19:25  Hast thou not heard long ago [how] I have done it, [and]
 of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that
 thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities [into] ruinous heaps.
   Kings-2|19:26  Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were
 dismayed and confounded; they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as]
 the green herb, [as] the grass on the house tops, and [as corn] blasted
 before it be grown up.
   Kings-2|19:27  But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming
 in, and thy rage against me.
   Kings-2|19:28  Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into
 mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy
 lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
   Kings-2|19:29  And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this

 year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which
 springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant
 vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.
   Kings-2|19:30  And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah
 shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
   Kings-2|19:31  For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they
 that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD [of hosts] shall do
 this.
   Kings-2|19:32  Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of
 Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor
 come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
   Kings-2|19:33  By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and
 shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
   Kings-2|19:34  For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own
 sake, and for my servant David's sake.
   Kings-2|19:35  And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD
 went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and
 five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they
 [were] all dead corpses.
   Kings-2|19:36  So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and
 returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

   Kings-2|19:37  And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of
 Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the
 sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son
 reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|20:1  In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet
 Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD,
 Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
   Kings-2|20:2  Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the
 LORD, saying,
   Kings-2|20:3  I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked
 before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done [that which
 is] good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
   Kings-2|20:4  And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the
 middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
   Kings-2|20:5  Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people,
 Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer,
 I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou
 shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|20:6  And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will
 deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I
 will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

   Kings-2|20:7  And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and
 laid [it] on the boil, and he recovered.
   Kings-2|20:8  And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What [shall be] the sign
 that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the
 LORD the third day?
   Kings-2|20:9  And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD,
 that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go
 forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
   Kings-2|20:10  And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow
 to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten
 degrees.
   Kings-2|20:11  And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought
 the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of
 Ahaz.
   Kings-2|20:12  At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of
 Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that
 Hezekiah had been sick.
   Kings-2|20:13  And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all the
 house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and
 the precious ointment, and [all] the house of his armour, and all that was
 found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his

 dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.
   Kings-2|20:14  Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said
 unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And
 Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, [even] from Babylon.
   Kings-2|20:15  And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And
 Hezekiah answered, All [the things] that [are] in mine house have they
 seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
   Kings-2|20:16  And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
   Kings-2|20:17  Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in thine house,
 and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be
 carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
   Kings-2|20:18  And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou
 shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace
 of the king of Babylon.
   Kings-2|20:19  Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good [is] the word of the
 LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, [Is it] not [good], if peace and
 truth be in my days?
   Kings-2|20:20  And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might,
 and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|20:21  And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son

 reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|21:1  Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to reign, and
 reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was]
 Hephzibah.
   Kings-2|21:2  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,
 after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the
 children of Israel.
   Kings-2|21:3  For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his
 father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove,
 as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and
 served them.
   Kings-2|21:4  And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the
 LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
   Kings-2|21:5  And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two
 courts of the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|21:6  And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed
 times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards:
 he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke [him] to
 anger.
   Kings-2|21:7  And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in
 the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this

 house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel,
 will I put my name for ever:
   Kings-2|21:8  Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of
 the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do
 according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law
 that my servant Moses commanded them.
   Kings-2|21:9  But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do
 more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children
 of Israel.
   Kings-2|21:10  And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
   Kings-2|21:11  Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these
 abominations, [and] hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did,
 which [were] before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
   Kings-2|21:12  Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I
 [am] bringing [such] evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth
 of it, both his ears shall tingle.
   Kings-2|21:13  And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and
 the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as [a man]
 wipeth a dish, wiping [it], and turning [it] upside down.
   Kings-2|21:14  And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and
 deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey

 and a spoil to all their enemies;
   Kings-2|21:15  Because they have done [that which was] evil in my sight,
 and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out
 of Egypt, even unto this day.
   Kings-2|21:16  Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he
 had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he
 made Judah to sin, in doing [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD.
   Kings-2|21:17  Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did,
 and his sin that he sinned, [are] they not written in the book of the
 chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|21:18  And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the
 garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in
 his stead.
   Kings-2|21:19  Amon [was] twenty and two years old when he began to
 reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was]
 Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
   Kings-2|21:20  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,
 as his father Manasseh did.
   Kings-2|21:21  And he walked in all the way that his father walked in,
 and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
   Kings-2|21:22  And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not

 in the way of the LORD.
   Kings-2|21:23  And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew
 the king in his own house.
   Kings-2|21:24  And the people of the land slew all them that had
 conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son
 king in his stead.
   Kings-2|21:25  Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, [are] they
 not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|21:26  And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza:
 and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|22:1  Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he
 reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was]
 Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
   Kings-2|22:2  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD,
 and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the
 right hand or to the left.
   Kings-2|22:3  And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah,
 [that] the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the
 scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
   Kings-2|22:4  Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the
 silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of

 the door have gathered of the people:
   Kings-2|22:5  And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the
 work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give
 it to the doers of the work which [is] in the house of the LORD, to repair
 the breaches of the house,
   Kings-2|22:6  Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy
 timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
   Kings-2|22:7  Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money
 that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
   Kings-2|22:8  And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I
 have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave
 the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
   Kings-2|22:9  And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the
 king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was
 found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the
 work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|22:10  And Shaphan the scribe showed the king, saying, Hilkiah
 the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
   Kings-2|22:11  And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of
 the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
   Kings-2|22:12  And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the

 son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and
 Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
   Kings-2|22:13  Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and
 for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great
 [is] the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers
 have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all
 that which is written concerning us.
   Kings-2|22:14  So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and
 Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum
 the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she
 dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
   Kings-2|22:15  And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,
 Tell the man that sent you to me,
   Kings-2|22:16  Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this
 place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, [even] all the words of the book
 which the king of Judah hath read:
   Kings-2|22:17  Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense
 unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of
 their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and
 shall not be quenched.
   Kings-2|22:18  But to the king of Judah which sent you to inquire of the

 LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, [As
 touching] the words which thou hast heard;
   Kings-2|22:19  Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled
 thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this
 place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a
 desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I
 also have heard [thee], saith the LORD.
   Kings-2|22:20  Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and
 thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not
 see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the
 king word again.
   Kings-2|23:1  And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the
 elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|23:2  And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all
 the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the
 priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he
 read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was
 found in the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|23:3  And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before
 the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his
 testimonies and his statutes with all [their] heart and all [their] soul,

 to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And
 all the people stood to the covenant.
   Kings-2|23:4  And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the
 priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth
 out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and
 for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without
 Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto
 Bethel.
   Kings-2|23:5  And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of
 Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of
 Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned
 incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to
 all the host of heaven.
   Kings-2|23:6  And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD,
 without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook
 Kidron, and stamped [it] small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon
 the graves of the children of the people.
   Kings-2|23:7  And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that [were]
 by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
   Kings-2|23:8  And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah,
 and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba

 to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that [were] in
 the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which
 [were] on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
   Kings-2|23:9  Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to
 the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened
 bread among their brethren.
   Kings-2|23:10  And he defiled Topheth, which [is] in the valley of the
 children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass
 through the fire to Molech.
   Kings-2|23:11  And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had
 given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the
 chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which [was] in the suburbs, and
 burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
   Kings-2|23:12  And the altars that [were] on the top of the upper chamber
 of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh
 had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat
 down, and brake [them] down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the
 brook Kidron.
   Kings-2|23:13  And the high places that [were] before Jerusalem, which
 [were] on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king
 of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and

 for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination
 of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
   Kings-2|23:14  And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the
 groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
   Kings-2|23:15  Moreover the altar that [was] at Bethel, [and] the high
 place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made,
 both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high
 place, [and] stamped [it] small to powder, and burned the grove.
   Kings-2|23:16  And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that
 [were] there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the
 sepulchres, and burned [them] upon the altar, and polluted it, according to
 the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these
 words.
   Kings-2|23:17  Then he said, What title [is] that that I see? And the men
 of the city told him, [It is] the sepulchre of the man of God, which came
 from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the
 altar of Bethel.
   Kings-2|23:18  And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So
 they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of
 Samaria.
   Kings-2|23:19  And all the houses also of the high places that [were] in

 the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke [the
 LORD] to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts
 that he had done in Bethel.
   Kings-2|23:20  And he slew all the priests of the high places that [were]
 there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to
 Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|23:21  And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the
 passover unto the LORD your God, as [it is] written in the book of this
 covenant.
   Kings-2|23:22  Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days
 of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of
 Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
   Kings-2|23:23  But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [wherein] this
 passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|23:24  Moreover the [workers with] familiar spirits, and the
 wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were
 spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he
 might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that
 Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
   Kings-2|23:25  And like unto him was there no king before him, that
 turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all

 his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there
 [any] like him.
   Kings-2|23:26  Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of
 his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of
 all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
   Kings-2|23:27  And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my
 sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem
 which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
   Kings-2|23:28  Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|23:29  In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against
 the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against
 him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
   Kings-2|23:30  And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from
 Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre.
 And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed
 him, and made him king in his father's stead.
   Kings-2|23:31  Jehoahaz [was] twenty and three years old when he began to
 reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
 [was] Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
   Kings-2|23:32  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,

 according to all that his fathers had done.
   Kings-2|23:33  And Pharaohnechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land
 of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a
 tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
   Kings-2|23:34  And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in
 the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took
 Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
   Kings-2|23:35  And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but
 he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of
 Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of
 every one according to his taxation, to give [it] unto Pharaohnechoh.
   Kings-2|23:36  Jehoiakim [was] twenty and five years old when he began to
 reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
 [was] Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
   Kings-2|23:37  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,
 according to all that his fathers had done.
   Kings-2|24:1  In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and
 Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled
 against him.
   Kings-2|24:2  And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and
 bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children

 of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word
 of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.
   Kings-2|24:3  Surely at the commandment of the LORD came [this] upon
 Judah, to remove [them] out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh,
 according to all that he did;
   Kings-2|24:4  And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled
 Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
   Kings-2|24:5  Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
   Kings-2|24:6  So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son
 reigned in his stead.
   Kings-2|24:7  And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his
 land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the
 river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
   Kings-2|24:8  Jehoiachin [was] eighteen years old when he began to reign,
 and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name [was]
 Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
   Kings-2|24:9  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,
 according to all that his father had done.
   Kings-2|24:10  At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of
 Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

   Kings-2|24:11  And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city,
 and his servants did besiege it.
   Kings-2|24:12  And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of
 Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his
 officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
   Kings-2|24:13  And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house
 of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all
 the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of
 the LORD, as the LORD had said.
   Kings-2|24:14  And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes,
 and all the mighty men of valour, [even] ten thousand captives, and all the
 craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of
 the land.
   Kings-2|24:15  And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's
 mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land,
 [those] carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
   Kings-2|24:16  And all the men of might, [even] seven thousand, and
 craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all [that were] strong [and] apt for war,
 even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
   Kings-2|24:17  And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's
 brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

   Kings-2|24:18  Zedekiah [was] twenty and one years old when he began to
 reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
 [was] Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
   Kings-2|24:19  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD,
 according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
   Kings-2|24:20  For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in
 Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that
 Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
   Kings-2|25:1  And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the
 tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadnezzar king of
 Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against
 it: and they built forts against it round about.
   Kings-2|25:2  And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king
 Zedekiah.
   Kings-2|25:3  And on the ninth [day] of the [fourth] month the famine
 prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
   Kings-2|25:4  And the city was broken up, and all the men of war [fled]
 by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which [is] by the king's
 garden: (now the Chaldees [were] against the city round about:) and [the
 king] went the way toward the plain.
   Kings-2|25:5  And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and

 overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from
 him.
   Kings-2|25:6  So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of
 Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
   Kings-2|25:7  And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put
 out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried
 him to Babylon.
   Kings-2|25:8  And in the fifth month, on the seventh [day] of the month,
 which [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came
 Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto
 Jerusalem:
   Kings-2|25:9  And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house,
 and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great [man's] house burnt he
 with fire.
   Kings-2|25:10  And all the army of the Chaldees, that [were with] the
 captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
   Kings-2|25:11  Now the rest of the people [that were] left in the city,
 and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant
 of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
   Kings-2|25:12  But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land
 [to be] vinedressers and husbandmen.

   Kings-2|25:13  And the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the
 LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that [was] in the house of the
 LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to
 Babylon.
   Kings-2|25:14  And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the
 spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they
 away.
   Kings-2|25:15  And the firepans, and the bowls, [and] such things as
 [were] of gold, [in] gold, and of silver, [in] silver, the captain of the
 guard took away.
   Kings-2|25:16  The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had
 made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without
 weight.
   Kings-2|25:17  The height of the one pillar [was] eighteen cubits, and
 the chapiter upon it [was] brass: and the height of the chapiter three
 cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round
 about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with
 wreathen work.
   Kings-2|25:18  And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief
 priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
   Kings-2|25:19  And out of the city he took an officer that was set over

 the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence,
 which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which
 mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the
 land [that were] found in the city:
   Kings-2|25:20  And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and
 brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
   Kings-2|25:21  And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at
 Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
   Kings-2|25:22  And [as for] the people that remained in the land of
 Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made
 Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
   Kings-2|25:23  And when all the captains of the armies, they and their
 men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came
 to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the
 son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and
 Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
   Kings-2|25:24  And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said
 unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land,
 and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
   Kings-2|25:25  But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the
 son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men

 with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees
 that were with him at Mizpah.
   Kings-2|25:26  And all the people, both small and great, and the captains
 of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the
 Chaldees.
   Kings-2|25:27  And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the
 captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven
 and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evilmerodach king of Babylon in
 the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of
 Judah out of prison;
   Kings-2|25:28  And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the
 throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon;
   Kings-2|25:29  And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread
 continually before him all the days of his life.
   Kings-2|25:30  And his allowance [was] a continual allowance given him of
 the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

 hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.
   Chronicles-1|10:4  Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword,
 and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse
 me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a
 sword, and fell upon it.
   Chronicles-1|10:5  And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he
 fell likewise on the sword, and died.
   Chronicles-1|10:6  So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house

 forsook their cities, and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
   Chronicles-1|10:8  And it came to pass on the morrow, when the
 Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons
 fallen in mount Gilboa.
   Chronicles-1|10:9  And when they had stripped him, they took his head,
 and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to
 carry tidings unto their idols, and to the people.

   Chronicles-1|10:10  And they put his armour in the house of their gods,
 and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.
   Chronicles-1|10:11  And when all Jabeshgilead heard all that the

   Chronicles-1|10:12  They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the
 body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and
 buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
   Chronicles-1|10:13  So Saul died for his transgression which he committed
 against the LORD, [even] against the word of the LORD, which he kept not,
 and also for asking [counsel] of [one that had] a familiar spirit, to
 inquire [of it];
   Chronicles-1|10:14  And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him,
 and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.
   Chronicles-1|11:1  Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto
 Hebron, saying, Behold, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh.
   Chronicles-1|11:2  And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king,
 thou [wast] he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy
 God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be
 ruler over my people Israel.
   Chronicles-1|11:3  Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to
 Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and

 they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by
 Samuel.
   Chronicles-1|11:4  And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which [is]
 Jebus; where the Jebusites [were], the inhabitants of the land.
   Chronicles-1|11:5  And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt
 not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of Zion, which [is] the
 city of David.
   Chronicles-1|11:6  And David said, Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first
 shall be chief and captain. So Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and
 was chief.
   Chronicles-1|11:7  And David dwelt in the castle; therefore they called
 it the city of David.
   Chronicles-1|11:8  And he built the city round about, even from Millo
 round about: and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
   Chronicles-1|11:9  So David waxed greater and greater: for the LORD of
 hosts [was] with him.
   Chronicles-1|11:10  These also [are] the chief of the mighty men whom
 David had, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, [and] with
 all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning
 Israel.
   Chronicles-1|11:11  And this [is] the number of the mighty men whom David

 had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his
 spear against three hundred slain [by him] at one time.
   Chronicles-1|11:12  And after him [was] Eleazar the son of Dodo, the
 Ahohite, who [was one] of the three mighties.
   Chronicles-1|11:13  He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the
 Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground
 full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.
   Chronicles-1|11:14  And they set themselves in the midst of [that]
 parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved
 [them] by a great deliverance.
   Chronicles-1|11:15  Now three of the thirty captains went down to the
 rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines
 encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
   Chronicles-1|11:16  And David [was] then in the hold, and the
 Philistines' garrison [was] then at Bethlehem.
   Chronicles-1|11:17  And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me
 drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, that [is] at the gate!
   Chronicles-1|11:18  And the three brake through the host of the
 Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that [was] by the
 gate, and took [it], and brought [it] to David: but David would not drink
 [of] it, but poured it out to the LORD,

   Chronicles-1|11:19  And said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this
 thing: shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in
 jeopardy? for with [the jeopardy of] their lives they brought it. Therefore
 he would not drink it. These things did these three mightiest.
   Chronicles-1|11:20  And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the
 three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew [them], and
 had a name among the three.
   Chronicles-1|11:21  Of the three, he was more honourable than the two;
 for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the [first] three.
   Chronicles-1|11:22  Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man
 of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also
 he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.
   Chronicles-1|11:23  And he slew an Egyptian, a man of [great] stature,
 five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand [was] a spear like a weaver's
 beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of
 the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
   Chronicles-1|11:24  These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and
 had the name among the three mighties.
   Chronicles-1|11:25  Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, but
 attained not to the [first] three: and David set him over his guard.
   Chronicles-1|11:26  Also the valiant men of the armies [were], Asahel the

 brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
   Chronicles-1|11:27  Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

 [were] among the mighty men, helpers of the war.
   Chronicles-1|12:2  [They were] armed with bows, and could use both the

 thousand.
   Chronicles-1|12:15  These [are] they that went over Jordan in the first
 month, when it had overflown all his banks; and they put to flight all
 [them] of the valleys, [both] toward the east, and toward the west.
   Chronicles-1|12:16  And there came of the children of Benjamin and Judah
 to the hold unto David.
   Chronicles-1|12:17  And David went out to meet them, and answered and
 said unto them, If ye be come peaceably unto me to help me, mine heart
 shall be knit unto you: but if [ye be come] to betray me to mine enemies,
 seeing [there is] no wrong in mine hands, the God of our fathers look
 [thereon], and rebuke [it].
   Chronicles-1|12:18  Then the spirit came upon Amasai, [who was] chief of
 the captains, [and he said], Thine [are we], David, and on thy side, thou
 son of Jesse: peace, peace [be] unto thee, and peace [be] to thine helpers;
 for thy God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and made them captains
 of the band.
   Chronicles-1|12:19  And there fell [some] of Manasseh to David, when he
 came with the Philistines against Saul to battle: but they helped them not:
 for the lords of the Philistines upon advisement sent him away, saying, He
 will fall to his master Saul to [the jeopardy of] our heads.
   Chronicles-1|12:20  As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh,

 Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and
 Zilthai, captains of the thousands that [were] of Manasseh.
   Chronicles-1|12:21  And they helped David against the band [of the
 rovers]: for they [were] all mighty men of valour, and were captains in the
 host.
   Chronicles-1|12:22  For at [that] time day by day there came to David to
 help him, until [it was] a great host, like the host of God.
   Chronicles-1|12:23  And these [are] the numbers of the bands [that were]

 father's house twenty and two captains.
   Chronicles-1|12:29  And of the children of Benjamin, the kindred of Saul,

 three thousand: for hitherto the greatest part of them had kept the ward of
 the house of Saul.

   Chronicles-1|12:31  And of the half tribe of Manasseh eighteen thousand,
 which were expressed by name, to come and make David king.
   Chronicles-1|12:32  And of the children of Issachar, [which were men]
 that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the
 heads of them [were] two hundred; and all their brethren [were] at their
 commandment.
   Chronicles-1|12:33  Of Zebulun, such as went forth to battle, expert in
 war, with all instruments of war, fifty thousand, which could keep rank:
 [they were] not of double heart.

   Chronicles-1|12:37  And on the other side of Jordan, of the Reubenites,

 and the Gadites, and of the half tribe of Manasseh, with all manner of
 instruments of war for the battle, an hundred and twenty thousand.
   Chronicles-1|12:38  All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with
 a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the
 rest also of Israel [were] of one heart to make David king.
   Chronicles-1|12:39  And there they were with David three days, eating and
 drinking: for their brethren had prepared for them.
   Chronicles-1|12:40  Moreover they that were nigh them, [even] unto
 Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels,
 and on mules, and on oxen, [and] meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of
 raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly: for [there was]
 joy in Israel.
   Chronicles-1|13:1  And David consulted with the captains of thousands and
 hundreds, [and] with every leader.
   Chronicles-1|13:2  And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If
 [it seem] good unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD our God, let us send
 abroad unto our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of
 Israel, and with them [also] to the priests and Levites [which are] in
 their cities [and] suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
   Chronicles-1|13:3  And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for
 we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.

   Chronicles-1|13:4  And all the congregation said that they would do so:
 for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
   Chronicles-1|13:5  So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of
 Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from
 Kirjathjearim.
   Chronicles-1|13:6  And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that
 is], to Kirjathjearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the
 ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [between] the cherubims, whose name is
 called [on it].
   Chronicles-1|13:7  And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of
 the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
   Chronicles-1|13:8  And David and all Israel played before God with all
 [their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and
 with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
   Chronicles-1|13:9  And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon,
 Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
   Chronicles-1|13:10  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza,
 and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died
 before God.
   Chronicles-1|13:11  And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a
 breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

   Chronicles-1|13:12  And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How
 shall I bring the ark of God [home] to me?
   Chronicles-1|13:13  So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to the
 city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
   Chronicles-1|13:14  And the ark of God remained with the family of
 Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of
 Obededom, and all that he had.
   Chronicles-1|14:1  Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and
 timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.
   Chronicles-1|14:2  And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him
 king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his
 people Israel.
   Chronicles-1|14:3  And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David
 begat more sons and daughters.
   Chronicles-1|14:4  Now these [are] the names of [his] children which he
 had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
   Chronicles-1|14:5  And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,
   Chronicles-1|14:6  And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
   Chronicles-1|14:7  And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
   Chronicles-1|14:8  And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed
 king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David

 heard [of it], and went out against them.
   Chronicles-1|14:9  And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the
 valley of Rephaim.
   Chronicles-1|14:10  And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up
 against the Philistines? and wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the
 LORD said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
   Chronicles-1|14:11  So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them
 there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand
 like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that
 place Baalperazim.
   Chronicles-1|14:12  And when they had left their gods there, David gave a
 commandment, and they were burned with fire.
   Chronicles-1|14:13  And the Philistines yet again spread themselves
 abroad in the valley.
   Chronicles-1|14:14  Therefore David inquired again of God; and God said
 unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them
 over against the mulberry trees.
   Chronicles-1|14:15  And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of
 going in the tops of the mulberry trees, [that] then thou shalt go out to
 battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the
 Philistines.

   Chronicles-1|14:16  David therefore did as God commanded him: and they
 smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
   Chronicles-1|14:17  And the fame of David went out into all lands; and
 the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.
   Chronicles-1|15:1  And [David] made him houses in the city of David, and
 prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
   Chronicles-1|15:2  Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God
 but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and
 to minister unto him for ever.
   Chronicles-1|15:3  And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem,
 to bring up the ark of the LORD unto his place, which he had prepared for
 it.
   Chronicles-1|15:4  And David assembled the children of Aaron, and the
 Levites:
   Chronicles-1|15:5  Of the sons of Kohath; Uriel the chief, and his
 brethren an hundred and twenty:
   Chronicles-1|15:6  Of the sons of Merari; Asaiah the chief, and his
 brethren two hundred and twenty:
   Chronicles-1|15:7  Of the sons of Gershom; Joel the chief, and his
 brethren an hundred and thirty:
   Chronicles-1|15:8  Of the sons of Elizaphan; Shemaiah the chief, and his

 brethren two hundred:
   Chronicles-1|15:9  Of the sons of Hebron; Eliel the chief, and his
 brethren fourscore:
   Chronicles-1|15:10  Of the sons of Uzziel; Amminadab the chief, and his
 brethren an hundred and twelve.
   Chronicles-1|15:11  And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests,
 and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and
 Amminadab,
   Chronicles-1|15:12  And said unto them, Ye [are] the chief of the fathers
 of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, [both] ye and your brethren, that ye
 may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto [the place that] I have
 prepared for it.
   Chronicles-1|15:13  For because ye [did it] not at the first, the LORD
 our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due
 order.
   Chronicles-1|15:14  So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves
 to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
   Chronicles-1|15:15  And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God
 upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according
 to the word of the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|15:16  And David spake to the chief of the Levites to

 appoint their brethren [to be] the singers with instruments of music,
 psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with
 joy.
   Chronicles-1|15:17  So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and
 of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari
 their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
   Chronicles-1|15:18  And with them their brethren of the second [degree],
 Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab,
 and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and
 Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters.
   Chronicles-1|15:19  So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, [were
 appointed] to sound with cymbals of brass;
   Chronicles-1|15:20  And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and
 Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on
 Alamoth;
   Chronicles-1|15:21  And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and
 Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.
   Chronicles-1|15:22  And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, [was] for song:
 he instructed about the song, because he [was] skilful.
   Chronicles-1|15:23  And Berechiah and Elkanah [were] doorkeepers for the
 ark.

   Chronicles-1|15:24  And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and
 Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with
 the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obededom and Jehiah [were]
 doorkeepers for the ark.
   Chronicles-1|15:25  So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains
 over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of
 the house of Obededom with joy.
   Chronicles-1|15:26  And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that
 bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks
 and seven rams.
   Chronicles-1|15:27  And David [was] clothed with a robe of fine linen,
 and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the
 master of the song with the singers: David also [had] upon him an ephod of
 linen.
   Chronicles-1|15:28  Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of
 the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets,
 and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps.
   Chronicles-1|15:29  And it came to pass, [as] the ark of the covenant of
 the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul
 looking out at a window saw king David dancing and playing: and she
 despised him in her heart.

   Chronicles-1|16:1  So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the
 midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt
 sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
   Chronicles-1|16:2  And when David had made an end of offering the burnt
 offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the
 LORD.
   Chronicles-1|16:3  And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and
 woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a
 flagon [of wine].
   Chronicles-1|16:4  And he appointed [certain] of the Levites to minister
 before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD
 God of Israel:
   Chronicles-1|16:5  Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and
 Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and
 Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound
 with cymbals;
   Chronicles-1|16:6  Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets
 continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
   Chronicles-1|16:7  Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to
 thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
   Chronicles-1|16:8  Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make

 known his deeds among the people.
   Chronicles-1|16:9  Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all
 his wondrous works.
   Chronicles-1|16:10  Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them
 rejoice that seek the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|16:11  Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face
 continually.
   Chronicles-1|16:12  Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his
 wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
   Chronicles-1|16:13  O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of
 Jacob, his chosen ones.
   Chronicles-1|16:14  He [is] the LORD our God; his judgments [are] in all
 the earth.
   Chronicles-1|16:15  Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word
 [which] he commanded to a thousand generations;
   Chronicles-1|16:16  [Even of the covenant] which he made with Abraham,
 and of his oath unto Isaac;
   Chronicles-1|16:17  And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, [and]
 to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant,
   Chronicles-1|16:18  Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the
 lot of your inheritance;

   Chronicles-1|16:19  When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in
 it.
   Chronicles-1|16:20  And [when] they went from nation to nation, and from
 [one] kingdom to another people;
   Chronicles-1|16:21  He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved
 kings for their sakes,
   Chronicles-1|16:22  [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets
 no harm.
   Chronicles-1|16:23  Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; show forth from
 day to day his salvation.
   Chronicles-1|16:24  Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous
 works among all nations.
   Chronicles-1|16:25  For great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised:
 he also [is] to be feared above all gods.
   Chronicles-1|16:26  For all the gods of the people [are] idols: but the
 LORD made the heavens.
   Chronicles-1|16:27  Glory and honour [are] in his presence; strength and
 gladness [are] in his place.
   Chronicles-1|16:28  Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give
 unto the LORD glory and strength.
   Chronicles-1|16:29  Give unto the LORD the glory [due] unto his name:

 bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of
 holiness.
   Chronicles-1|16:30  Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall
 be stable, that it be not moved.
   Chronicles-1|16:31  Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice:
 and let [men] say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
   Chronicles-1|16:32  Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the
 fields rejoice, and all that [is] therein.
   Chronicles-1|16:33  Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the
 presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
   Chronicles-1|16:34  O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good; for
 his mercy [endureth] for ever.
   Chronicles-1|16:35  And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and
 gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give
 thanks to thy holy name, [and] glory in thy praise.
   Chronicles-1|16:36  Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel for ever and
 ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|16:37  So he left there before the ark of the covenant of
 the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as
 every day's work required:
   Chronicles-1|16:38  And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and

 eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah [to be] porters:
   Chronicles-1|16:39  And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests,
 before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that [was] at Gibeon,
   Chronicles-1|16:40  To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar
 of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and [to do]
 according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded
 Israel;
   Chronicles-1|16:41  And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that
 were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD,
 because his mercy [endureth] for ever;
   Chronicles-1|16:42  And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and
 cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of
 God. And the sons of Jeduthun [were] porters.
   Chronicles-1|16:43  And all the people departed every man to his house:
 and David returned to bless his house.
   Chronicles-1|17:1  Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that
 David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but
 the ark of the covenant of the LORD [remaineth] under curtains.
   Chronicles-1|17:2  Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that [is] in thine
 heart; for God [is] with thee.
   Chronicles-1|17:3  And it came to pass the same night, that the word of

 God came to Nathan, saying,
   Chronicles-1|17:4  Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD,
 Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
   Chronicles-1|17:5  For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I
 brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from
 [one] tabernacle [to another].
   Chronicles-1|17:6  Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a
 word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people,
 saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
   Chronicles-1|17:7  Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant
 David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, [even]
 from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people
 Israel:
   Chronicles-1|17:8  And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast
 walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made
 thee a name like the name of the great men that [are] in the earth.
   Chronicles-1|17:9  Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and
 will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no
 more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at
 the beginning,
   Chronicles-1|17:10  And since the time that I commanded judges [to be]

 over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies.
 Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
   Chronicles-1|17:11  And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired
 that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed
 after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
   Chronicles-1|17:12  He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his
 throne for ever.
   Chronicles-1|17:13  I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I
 will not take my mercy away from him, as I took [it] from [him] that was
 before thee:
   Chronicles-1|17:14  But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom
 for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
   Chronicles-1|17:15  According to all these words, and according to all
 this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
   Chronicles-1|17:16  And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and
 said, Who [am] I, O LORD God, and what [is] mine house, that thou hast
 brought me hitherto?
   Chronicles-1|17:17  And [yet] this was a small thing in thine eyes, O
 God; for thou hast [also] spoken of thy servant's house for a great while
 to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high
 degree, O LORD God.

   Chronicles-1|17:18  What can David [speak] more to thee for the honour of
 thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
   Chronicles-1|17:19  O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to
 thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all
 [these] great things.
   Chronicles-1|17:20  O LORD, [there is] none like thee, neither [is there
 any] God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
   Chronicles-1|17:21  And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people
 Israel, whom God went to redeem [to be] his own people, to make thee a name
 of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy
 people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
   Chronicles-1|17:22  For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own
 people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
   Chronicles-1|17:23  Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast
 spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for
 ever, and do as thou hast said.
   Chronicles-1|17:24  Let it even be established, that thy name may be
 magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God of Israel,
 [even] a God to Israel: and [let] the house of David thy servant [be]
 established before thee.
   Chronicles-1|17:25  For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou

 wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found [in his heart] to
 pray before thee.
   Chronicles-1|17:26  And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this
 goodness unto thy servant:
   Chronicles-1|17:27  Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house
 of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O
 LORD, and [it shall be] blessed for ever.
   Chronicles-1|18:1  Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the
 Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand
 of the Philistines.
   Chronicles-1|18:2  And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's
 servants, [and] brought gifts.
   Chronicles-1|18:3  And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath,
 as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
   Chronicles-1|18:4  And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven
 thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also hocked all the
 chariot [horses], but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
   Chronicles-1|18:5  And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help
 Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand
 men.
   Chronicles-1|18:6  Then David put [garrisons] in Syriadamascus; and the

 Syrians became David's servants, [and] brought gifts. Thus the LORD
 preserved David whithersoever he went.
   Chronicles-1|18:7  And David took the shields of gold that were on the
 servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-1|18:8  Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of
 Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen
 sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
   Chronicles-1|18:9  Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had
 smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
   Chronicles-1|18:10  He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to inquire of
 his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against
 Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and [with
 him] all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
   Chronicles-1|18:11  Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with
 the silver and the gold that he brought from all [these] nations; from
 Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the
 Philistines, and from Amalek.
   Chronicles-1|18:12  Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the
 Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
   Chronicles-1|18:13  And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites
 became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he

 went.
   Chronicles-1|18:14  So David reigned over all Israel, and executed
 judgment and justice among all his people.
   Chronicles-1|18:15  And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and
 Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
   Chronicles-1|18:16  And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of
 Abiathar, [were] the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
   Chronicles-1|18:17  And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada [was] over the
 Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David [were] chief about
 the king.
   Chronicles-1|19:1  Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king
 of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-1|19:2  And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the
 son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent
 messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David
 came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
   Chronicles-1|19:3  But the princes of the children of Ammon said to
 Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent
 comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search,
 and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
   Chronicles-1|19:4  Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved

 them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and
 sent them away.
   Chronicles-1|19:5  Then there went [certain], and told David how the men
 were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed.
 And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and [then]
 return.
   Chronicles-1|19:6  And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made
 themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand
 talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia,
 and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
   Chronicles-1|19:7  So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and
 the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And
 the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and
 came to battle.
   Chronicles-1|19:8  And when David heard [of it], he sent Joab, and all
 the host of the mighty men.
   Chronicles-1|19:9  And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle
 in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come [were]
 by themselves in the field.
   Chronicles-1|19:10  Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him
 before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put [them]

 in array against the Syrians.
   Chronicles-1|19:11  And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand
 of Abishai his brother, and they set [themselves] in array against the
 children of Ammon.
   Chronicles-1|19:12  And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me,
 then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for
 thee, then I will help thee.
   Chronicles-1|19:13  Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves
 valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD
 do [that which is] good in his sight.
   Chronicles-1|19:14  So Joab and the people that [were] with him drew nigh
 before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
   Chronicles-1|19:15  And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians
 were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into
 the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-1|19:16  And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the
 worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that
 [were] beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer
 [went] before them.
   Chronicles-1|19:17  And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel,
 and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set [the battle] in array

 against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the
 Syrians, they fought with him.
   Chronicles-1|19:18  But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of
 the Syrians seven thousand [men which fought in] chariots, and forty
 thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
   Chronicles-1|19:19  And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were
 put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his
 servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
   Chronicles-1|20:1  And it came to pass, that after the year was expired,
 at the time that kings go out [to battle], Joab led forth the power of the
 army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and
 besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and
 destroyed it.
   Chronicles-1|20:2  And David took the crown of their king from off his
 head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and [there were] precious
 stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also
 exceeding much spoil out of the city.
   Chronicles-1|20:3  And he brought out the people that [were] in it, and
 cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so
 dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all
 the people returned to Jerusalem.

   Chronicles-1|20:4  And it came to pass after this, that there arose war
 at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew
 Sippai, [that was] of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
   Chronicles-1|20:5  And there was war again with the Philistines; and
 Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite,
 whose spear staff [was] like a weaver's beam.
   Chronicles-1|20:6  And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man
 of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty, six [on
 each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant.
   Chronicles-1|20:7  But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea
 David's brother slew him.
   Chronicles-1|20:8  These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell
 by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
   Chronicles-1|21:1  And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David
 to number Israel.
   Chronicles-1|21:2  And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the
 people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number
 of them to me, that I may know [it].
   Chronicles-1|21:3  And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred
 times so many more as they [be]: but, my lord the king, [are] they not all
 my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he

 be a cause of trespass to Israel?
   Chronicles-1|21:4  Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab.
 Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to
 Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-1|21:5  And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto
 David. And all [they of] Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred
 thousand men that drew sword: and Judah [was] four hundred threescore and
 ten thousand men that drew sword.
   Chronicles-1|21:6  But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for
 the king's word was abominable to Joab.
   Chronicles-1|21:7  And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he
 smote Israel.
   Chronicles-1|21:8  And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly,
 because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the
 iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
   Chronicles-1|21:9  And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
   Chronicles-1|21:10  Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I
 offer thee three [things]: choose thee one of them, that I may do [it] unto
 thee.
   Chronicles-1|21:11  So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith
 the LORD, Choose thee

   Chronicles-1|21:12  Either three years' famine; or three months to be
 destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh
 [thee]; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in
 the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of
 Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him
 that sent me.
   Chronicles-1|21:13  And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let
 me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great [are] his mercies:
 but let me not fall into the hand of man.
   Chronicles-1|21:14  So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there
 fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
   Chronicles-1|21:15  And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it:
 and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil,
 and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand.
 And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the
 Jebusite.
   Chronicles-1|21:16  And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of
 the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in
 his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders [of
 Israel, who were] clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
   Chronicles-1|21:17  And David said unto God, [Is it] not I [that]

 commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done
 evil indeed; but [as for] these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand,
 I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on
 thy people, that they should be plagued.
   Chronicles-1|21:18  Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to
 David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the
 threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
   Chronicles-1|21:19  And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he
 spake in the name of the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|21:20  And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his
 four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
   Chronicles-1|21:21  And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw
 David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with
 [his] face to the ground.
   Chronicles-1|21:22  Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of
 [this] threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD:
 thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed
 from the people.
   Chronicles-1|21:23  And Ornan said unto David, Take [it] to thee, and let
 my lord the king do [that which is] good in his eyes: lo, I give [thee] the
 oxen [also] for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood,

 and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
   Chronicles-1|21:24  And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily
 buy it for the full price: for I will not take [that] which [is] thine for
 the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
   Chronicles-1|21:25  So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred
 shekels of gold by weight.
   Chronicles-1|21:26  And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and
 offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and
 he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
   Chronicles-1|21:27  And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his
 sword again into the sheath thereof.
   Chronicles-1|21:28  At that time when David saw that the LORD had
 answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he
 sacrificed there.
   Chronicles-1|21:29  For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in
 the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, [were] at that season
 in the high place at Gibeon.
   Chronicles-1|21:30  But David could not go before it to inquire of God:
 for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|22:1  Then David said, This [is] the house of the LORD God,
 and this [is] the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.

   Chronicles-1|22:2  And David commanded to gather together the strangers
 that [were] in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones
 to build the house of God.
   Chronicles-1|22:3  And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for
 the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance
 without weight;
   Chronicles-1|22:4  Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and
 they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
   Chronicles-1|22:5  And David said, Solomon my son [is] young and tender,
 and the house [that is] to be builded for the LORD [must be] exceeding
 magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will
 [therefore] now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly
 before his death.
   Chronicles-1|22:6  Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to
 build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
   Chronicles-1|22:7  And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was
 in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
   Chronicles-1|22:8  But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast
 shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an
 house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my
 sight.

   Chronicles-1|22:9  Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a
 man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for
 his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel
 in his days.
   Chronicles-1|22:10  He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be
 my son, and I [will be] his father; and I will establish the throne of his
 kingdom over Israel for ever.
   Chronicles-1|22:11  Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou,
 and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
   Chronicles-1|22:12  Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and
 give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the
 LORD thy God.
   Chronicles-1|22:13  Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to
 fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with
 concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be
 dismayed.
   Chronicles-1|22:14  Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the
 house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand
 thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is
 in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add
 thereto.

   Chronicles-1|22:15  Moreover [there are] workmen with thee in abundance,
 hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for
 every manner of work.
   Chronicles-1|22:16  Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron,
 [there is] no number. Arise [therefore], and be doing, and the LORD be with
 thee.
   Chronicles-1|22:17  David also commanded all the princes of Israel to
 help Solomon his son, [saying],
   Chronicles-1|22:18  [Is] not the LORD your God with you? and hath he
 [not] given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of
 the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and
 before his people.
   Chronicles-1|22:19  Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD
 your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to
 bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God,
 into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|23:1  So when David was old and full of days, he made
 Solomon his son king over Israel.
   Chronicles-1|23:2  And he gathered together all the princes of Israel,
 with the priests and the Levites.
   Chronicles-1|23:3  Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty

 years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty
 and eight thousand.
   Chronicles-1|23:4  Of which, twenty and four thousand [were] to set
 forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand [were] officers
 and judges:
   Chronicles-1|23:5  Moreover four thousand [were] porters; and four
 thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, [said David],
 to praise [therewith].
   Chronicles-1|23:6  And David divided them into courses among the sons of
 Levi, [namely], Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
   Chronicles-1|23:7  Of the Gershonites [were], Laadan, and Shimei.
   Chronicles-1|23:8  The sons of Laadan; the chief [was] Jehiel, and
 Zetham, and Joel, three.
   Chronicles-1|23:9  The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran,
 three. These [were] the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
   Chronicles-1|23:10  And the sons of Shimei [were], Jahath, Zina, and
 Jeush, and Beriah. These four [were] the sons of Shimei.
   Chronicles-1|23:11  And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but
 Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning,
 according to [their] father's house.
   Chronicles-1|23:12  The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel,

 four.
   Chronicles-1|23:13  The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was
 separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons
 for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to
 bless in his name for ever.
   Chronicles-1|23:14  Now [concerning] Moses the man of God, his sons were
 named of the tribe of Levi.
   Chronicles-1|23:15  The sons of Moses [were], Gershom, and Eliezer.
   Chronicles-1|23:16  Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel [was] the chief.
   Chronicles-1|23:17  And the sons of Eliezer [were], Rehabiah the chief.
 And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
   Chronicles-1|23:18  Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
   Chronicles-1|23:19  Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the
 second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
   Chronicles-1|23:20  Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah
 the second.
   Chronicles-1|23:21  The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of
 Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
   Chronicles-1|23:22  And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and
 their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
   Chronicles-1|23:23  The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth,

 three.
   Chronicles-1|23:24  These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of
 their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by
 number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the
 house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.
   Chronicles-1|23:25  For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given
 rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
   Chronicles-1|23:26  And also unto the Levites; they shall no [more] carry
 the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
   Chronicles-1|23:27  For by the last words of David the Levites [were]
 numbered from twenty years old and above:
   Chronicles-1|23:28  Because their office [was] to wait on the sons of
 Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the
 chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the
 service of the house of God;
   Chronicles-1|23:29  Both for the showbread, and for the fine flour for
 meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for [that which is baked
 in] the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and
 size;
   Chronicles-1|23:30  And to stand every morning to thank and praise the
 LORD, and likewise at even;

   Chronicles-1|23:31  And to offer all burnt sacrifices unto the LORD in
 the sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according
 to the order commanded unto them, continually before the LORD:
   Chronicles-1|23:32  And that they should keep the charge of the
 tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the holy [place], and the
 charge of the sons of Aaron their brethren, in the service of the house of
 the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|24:1  Now [these are] the divisions of the sons of Aaron.
 The sons of Aaron; Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
   Chronicles-1|24:2  But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and had
 no children: therefore Eleazar and Ithamar executed the priest's office.
   Chronicles-1|24:3  And David distributed them, both Zadok of the sons of
 Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their offices
 in their service.
   Chronicles-1|24:4  And there were more chief men found of the sons of
 Eleazar than of the sons of Ithamar; and [thus] were they divided. Among
 the sons of Eleazar [there were] sixteen chief men of the house of [their]
 fathers, and eight among the sons of Ithamar according to the house of
 their fathers.
   Chronicles-1|24:5  Thus were they divided by lot, one sort with another;
 for the governors of the sanctuary, and governors [of the house] of God,

 were of the sons of Eleazar, and of the sons of Ithamar.
   Chronicles-1|24:6  And Shemaiah the son of Nethaneel the scribe, [one] of
 the Levites, wrote them before the king, and the princes, and Zadok the
 priest, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and [before] the chief of the
 fathers of the priests and Levites: one principal household being taken for
 Eleazar, and [one] taken for Ithamar.
   Chronicles-1|24:7  Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second
 to Jedaiah,
   Chronicles-1|24:8  The third to Harim, the fourth to Seorim,
   Chronicles-1|24:9  The fifth to Malchijah, the sixth to Mijamin,
   Chronicles-1|24:10  The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,
   Chronicles-1|24:11  The ninth to Jeshuah, the tenth to Shecaniah,
   Chronicles-1|24:12  The eleventh to Eliashib, the twelfth to Jakim,
   Chronicles-1|24:13  The thirteenth to Huppah, the fourteenth to
 Jeshebeab,
   Chronicles-1|24:14  The fifteenth to Bilgah, the sixteenth to Immer,
   Chronicles-1|24:15  The seventeenth to Hezir, the eighteenth to Aphses,
   Chronicles-1|24:16  The nineteenth to Pethahiah, the twentieth to
 Jehezekel,
   Chronicles-1|24:17  The one and twentieth to Jachin, the two and
 twentieth to Gamul,

   Chronicles-1|24:18  The three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and

 Hear me, my brethren, and my people: [As for me], I [had] in mine heart to
 build an house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and for the
 footstool of our God, and had made ready for the building:
   Chronicles-1|28:3  But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build an house
 for my name, because thou [hast been] a man of war, and hast shed blood.
   Chronicles-1|28:4  Howbeit the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the
 house of my father to be king over Israel for ever: for he hath chosen
 Judah [to be] the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father;
 and among the sons of my father he liked me to make [me] king over all
 Israel:
   Chronicles-1|28:5  And of all my sons, (for the LORD hath given me many
 sons,) he hath chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom

 of the LORD over Israel.
   Chronicles-1|28:6  And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build
 my house and my courts: for I have chosen him [to be] my son, and I will be
 his father.
   Chronicles-1|28:7  Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he
 be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.
   Chronicles-1|28:8  Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the
 congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for
 all the commandments of the LORD your God: that ye may possess this good
 land, and leave [it] for an inheritance for your children after you for
 ever.
   Chronicles-1|28:9  And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy
 father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the
 LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the
 thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake
 him, he will cast thee off for ever.
   Chronicles-1|28:10  Take heed now; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build
 an house for the sanctuary: be strong, and do [it].
   Chronicles-1|28:11  Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the
 porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the
 upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place

 of the mercy seat,
   Chronicles-1|28:12  And the pattern of all that he had by the spirit, of
 the courts of the house of the LORD, and of all the chambers round about,
 of the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the
 dedicated things:
   Chronicles-1|28:13  Also for the courses of the priests and the Levites,
 and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all
 the vessels of service in the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|28:14  [He gave] of gold by weight for [things] of gold, for
 all instruments of all manner of service; [silver also] for all instruments
 of silver by weight, for all instruments of every kind of service:
   Chronicles-1|28:15  Even the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for
 their lamps of gold, by weight for every candlestick, and for the lamps
 thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver by weight, [both] for the
 candlestick, and [also] for the lamps thereof, according to the use of
 every candlestick.
   Chronicles-1|28:16  And by weight [he gave] gold for the tables of
 showbread, for every table; and [likewise] silver for the tables of silver:
   Chronicles-1|28:17  Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and
 the cups: and for the golden basins [he gave gold] by weight for every
 basin; and [likewise silver] by weight for every basin of silver:

   Chronicles-1|28:18  And for the altar of incense refined gold by weight;
 and gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out
 [their wings], and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|28:19  All [this, said David], the LORD made me understand
 in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.
   Chronicles-1|28:20  And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of
 good courage, and do [it]: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God,
 [even] my God, [will be] with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake
 thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of
 the LORD.
   Chronicles-1|28:21  And, behold, the courses of the priests and the
 Levites, [even they shall be with thee] for all the service of the house of
 God: and [there shall be] with thee for all manner of workmanship every
 willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all
 the people [will be] wholly at thy commandment.
   Chronicles-1|29:1  Furthermore David the king said unto all the
 congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, [is yet] young
 and tender, and the work [is] great: for the palace [is] not for man, but
 for the LORD God.
   Chronicles-1|29:2  Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of
 my God the gold for [things to be made] of gold, and the silver for

 [things] of silver, and the brass for [things] of brass, the iron for
 [things] of iron, and wood for [things] of wood; onyx stones, and [stones]
 to be set, glistering stones, and of divers colours, and all manner of
 precious stones, and marble stones in abundance.
   Chronicles-1|29:3  Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house
 of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, [which] I
 have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared
 for the holy house,
   Chronicles-1|29:4  [Even] three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of
 Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls
 of the houses [withal]:
   Chronicles-1|29:5  The gold for [things] of gold, and the silver for
 [things] of silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of
 artificers. And who [then] is willing to consecrate his service this day
 unto the LORD?
   Chronicles-1|29:6  Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the
 tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the
 rulers of the king's work, offered willingly,
   Chronicles-1|29:7  And gave for the service of the house of God of gold
 five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand
 talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand

 talents of iron.
   Chronicles-1|29:8  And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave
 [them] to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand of Jehiel the
 Gershonite.
   Chronicles-1|29:9  Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered
 willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD:
 and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
   Chronicles-1|29:10  Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the
 congregation: and David said, Blessed [be] thou, LORD God of Israel our
 father, for ever and ever.
   Chronicles-1|29:11  Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and
 the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the
 heaven and in the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and
 thou art exalted as head above all.
   Chronicles-1|29:12  Both riches and honour [come] of thee, and thou
 reignest over all; and in thine hand [is] power and might; and in thine
 hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength unto all.
   Chronicles-1|29:13  Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy
 glorious name.
   Chronicles-1|29:14  But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we
 should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things [come]

 of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.
   Chronicles-1|29:15  For we [are] strangers before thee, and sojourners,
 as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and
 [there is] none abiding.
   Chronicles-1|29:16  O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared
 to build thee an house for thine holy name [cometh] of thine hand, and [is]
 all thine own.
   Chronicles-1|29:17  I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and
 hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I
 have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy
 people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee.
   Chronicles-1|29:18  O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our
 fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart
 of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:
   Chronicles-1|29:19  And give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep
 thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all [these
 things], and to build the palace, [for] the which I have made provision.
   Chronicles-1|29:20  And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the
 LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their
 fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.
   Chronicles-1|29:21  And they sacrificed sacrifices unto the LORD, and

 offered burnt offerings unto the LORD, on the morrow after that day, [even]
 a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a thousand lambs, with their
 drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel:
   Chronicles-1|29:22  And did eat and drink before the LORD on that day
 with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second
 time, and anointed [him] unto the LORD [to be] the chief governor, and
 Zadok [to be] priest.
   Chronicles-1|29:23  Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king
 instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
   Chronicles-1|29:24  And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the
 sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves unto Solomon the king.
   Chronicles-1|29:25  And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the
 sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty as had not
 been on any king before him in Israel.
   Chronicles-1|29:26  Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel.
   Chronicles-1|29:27  And the time that he reigned over Israel [was] forty
 years; seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three [years]
 reigned he in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-1|29:28  And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches,
 and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-1|29:29  Now the acts of David the king, first and last,

 behold, they [are] written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book
 of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
   Chronicles-1|29:30  With all his reign and his might, and the times that
 went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
   Chronicles-2|1:1  And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his
 kingdom, and the LORD his God [was] with him, and magnified him
 exceedingly.
   Chronicles-2|1:2  Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of
 thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all
 Israel, the chief of the fathers.
   Chronicles-2|1:3  So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to
 the high place that [was] at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the
 congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the
 wilderness.
   Chronicles-2|1:4  But the ark of God had David brought up from
 Kirjathjearim to [the place which] David had prepared for it: for he had
 pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|1:5  Moreover the brazen altar, that Bezaleel the son of
 Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD:
 and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
   Chronicles-2|1:6  And Solomon went up thither to the brazen altar before

 the LORD, which [was] at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a
 thousand burnt offerings upon it.
   Chronicles-2|1:7  In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said
 unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
   Chronicles-2|1:8  And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast showed great mercy
 unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|1:9  Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father
 be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of
 the earth in multitude.
   Chronicles-2|1:10  Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out
 and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, [that is
 so] great?
   Chronicles-2|1:11  And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine
 heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of
 thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and
 knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have
 made thee king:
   Chronicles-2|1:12  Wisdom and knowledge [is] granted unto thee; and I
 will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings
 have had that [have been] before thee, neither shall there any after thee
 have the like.

   Chronicles-2|1:13  Then Solomon came [from his journey] to the high place
 that [was] at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the
 congregation, and reigned over Israel.
   Chronicles-2|1:14  And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had
 a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which
 he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|1:15  And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem [as
 plenteous] as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that
 [are] in the vale for abundance.
   Chronicles-2|1:16  And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen
 yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
   Chronicles-2|1:17  And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a
 chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and an horse for an hundred
 and fifty: and so brought they out [horses] for all the kings of the
 Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.
   Chronicles-2|2:1  And Solomon determined to build an house for the name
 of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
   Chronicles-2|2:2  And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to
 bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three
 thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
   Chronicles-2|2:3  And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As

 thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build
 him an house to dwell therein, [even so deal with me].
   Chronicles-2|2:4  Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my
 God, to dedicate [it] to him, [and] to burn before him sweet incense, and
 for the continual showbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and
 evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of
 the LORD our God. This [is an ordinance] for ever to Israel.
   Chronicles-2|2:5  And the house which I build [is] great: for great [is]
 our God above all gods.
   Chronicles-2|2:6  But who is able to build him an house, seeing the
 heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who [am] I then, that I
 should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
   Chronicles-2|2:7  Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold,
 and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and
 blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that [are] with me
 in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
   Chronicles-2|2:8  Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees,
 out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in
 Lebanon; and, behold, my servants [shall be] with thy servants,
   Chronicles-2|2:9  Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house
 which I am about to build [shall be] wonderful great.

   Chronicles-2|2:10  And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers
 that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty
 thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty
 thousand baths of oil.
   Chronicles-2|2:11  Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which
 he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made
 thee king over them.
   Chronicles-2|2:12  Huram said moreover, Blessed [be] the LORD God of
 Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise
 son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for
 the LORD, and an house for his kingdom.
   Chronicles-2|2:13  And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with
 understanding, of Huram my father's,
   Chronicles-2|2:14  The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his
 father [was] a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in
 brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine
 linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out
 every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the
 cunning men of my lord David thy father.
   Chronicles-2|2:15  Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and
 the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:

   Chronicles-2|2:16  And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou
 shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and
 thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|2:17  And Solomon numbered all the strangers that [were] in
 the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had
 numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three
 thousand and six hundred.
   Chronicles-2|2:18  And he set threescore and ten thousand of them [to be]
 bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand [to be] hewers in the mountain,
 and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
   Chronicles-2|3:1  Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at
 Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where [the Lord] appeared unto David his father,
 in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the
 Jebusite.
   Chronicles-2|3:2  And he began to build in the second [day] of the second
 month, in the fourth year of his reign.
   Chronicles-2|3:3  Now these [are the things wherein] Solomon was
 instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after
 the first measure [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.
   Chronicles-2|3:4  And the porch that [was] in the front [of the house],
 the length [of it was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty

 cubits, and the height [was] an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it
 within with pure gold.
   Chronicles-2|3:5  And the greater house he ceiled with fir tree, which he
 overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains.
   Chronicles-2|3:6  And he garnished the house with precious stones for
 beauty: and the gold [was] gold of Parvaim.
   Chronicles-2|3:7  He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and
 the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims
 on the walls.
   Chronicles-2|3:8  And he made the most holy house, the length whereof
 [was] according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth
 thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, [amounting] to
 six hundred talents.
   Chronicles-2|3:9  And the weight of the nails [was] fifty shekels of
 gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.
   Chronicles-2|3:10  And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of
 image work, and overlaid them with gold.
   Chronicles-2|3:11  And the wings of the cherubims [were] twenty cubits
 long: one wing [of the one cherub was] five cubits, reaching to the wall of
 the house: and the other wing [was likewise] five cubits, reaching to the
 wing of the other cherub.

   Chronicles-2|3:12  And [one] wing of the other cherub [was] five cubits,
 reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing [was] five cubits
 [also], joining to the wing of the other cherub.
   Chronicles-2|3:13  The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth
 twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces [were] inward.
   Chronicles-2|3:14  And he made the veil [of] blue, and purple, and
 crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
   Chronicles-2|3:15  Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty
 and five cubits high, and the chapiter that [was] on the top of each of
 them [was] five cubits.
   Chronicles-2|3:16  And he made chains, [as] in the oracle, and put [them]
 on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put
 [them] on the chains.
   Chronicles-2|3:17  And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on
 the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on
 the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
   Chronicles-2|4:1  Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the
 length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the
 height thereof.
   Chronicles-2|4:2  Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to
 brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of

 thirty cubits did compass it round about.
   Chronicles-2|4:3  And under it [was] the similitude of oxen, which did
 compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two
 rows of oxen [were] cast, when it was cast.
   Chronicles-2|4:4  It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the
 north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the
 south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea [was set] above upon
 them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward.
   Chronicles-2|4:5  And the thickness of it [was] an handbreadth, and the
 brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies;
 [and] it received and held three thousand baths.
   Chronicles-2|4:6  He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right
 hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered
 for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea [was] for the
 priests to wash in.
   Chronicles-2|4:7  And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their
 form, and set [them] in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the
 left.
   Chronicles-2|4:8  He made also ten tables, and placed [them] in the
 temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an
 hundred basins of gold.

   Chronicles-2|4:9  Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the
 great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with
 brass.
   Chronicles-2|4:10  And he set the sea on the right side of the east end,
 over against the south.
   Chronicles-2|4:11  And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the
 basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon
 for the house of God;
   Chronicles-2|4:12  [To wit], the two pillars, and the pommels, and the
 chapiters [which were] on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths
 to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which [were] on the top of the
 pillars;
   Chronicles-2|4:13  And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two
 rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the
 chapiters which [were] upon the pillars.
   Chronicles-2|4:14  He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
   Chronicles-2|4:15  One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
   Chronicles-2|4:16  The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks,
 and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for
 the house of the LORD of bright brass.
   Chronicles-2|4:17  In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the

 clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
   Chronicles-2|4:18  Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great
 abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
   Chronicles-2|4:19  And Solomon made all the vessels that [were for] the
 house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the showbread
 [was set];
   Chronicles-2|4:20  Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they
 should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
   Chronicles-2|4:21  And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, [made
 he of] gold, [and] that perfect gold;
   Chronicles-2|4:22  And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and
 the censers, [of] pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors
 thereof for the most holy [place], and the doors of the house of the
 temple, [were of] gold.
   Chronicles-2|5:1  Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of
 the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in [all] the things that David
 his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the
 instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.
   Chronicles-2|5:2  Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all
 the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of
 Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out

 of the city of David, which [is] Zion.
   Chronicles-2|5:3  Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves
 unto the king in the feast which [was] in the seventh month.
   Chronicles-2|5:4  And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took
 up the ark.
   Chronicles-2|5:5  And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the
 congregation, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle, these
 did the priests [and] the Levites bring up.
   Chronicles-2|5:6  Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel
 that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen,
 which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
   Chronicles-2|5:7  And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of
 the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy
 [place, even] under the wings of the cherubims:
   Chronicles-2|5:8  For the cherubims spread forth [their] wings over the
 place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof
 above.
   Chronicles-2|5:9  And they drew out the staves [of the ark], that the
 ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were
 not seen without. And there it is unto this day.
   Chronicles-2|5:10  [There was] nothing in the ark save the two tables

 which Moses put [therein] at Horeb, when the LORD made [a covenant] with
 the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
   Chronicles-2|5:11  And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of
 the holy [place]: (for all the priests [that were] present were sanctified,
 [and] did not [then] wait by course:
   Chronicles-2|5:12  Also the Levites [which were] the singers, all of them
 of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren,
 [being] arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps,
 stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty
 priests sounding with trumpets:)
   Chronicles-2|5:13  It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers
 [were] as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the
 LORD; and when they lifted up [their] voice with the trumpets and cymbals
 and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good;
 for his mercy [endureth] for ever: that [then] the house was filled with a
 cloud, [even] the house of the LORD;
   Chronicles-2|5:14  So that the priests could not stand to minister by
 reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
   Chronicles-2|6:1  Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would
 dwell in the thick darkness.
   Chronicles-2|6:2  But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a

 place for thy dwelling for ever.
   Chronicles-2|6:3  And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole
 congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
   Chronicles-2|6:4  And he said, Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel, who
 hath with his hands fulfilled [that] which he spake with his mouth to my
 father David, saying,
   Chronicles-2|6:5  Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the
 land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an
 house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a
 ruler over my people Israel:
   Chronicles-2|6:6  But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be
 there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
   Chronicles-2|6:7  Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an
 house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|6:8  But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it
 was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that
 it was in thine heart:
   Chronicles-2|6:9  Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy
 son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for
 my name.
   Chronicles-2|6:10  The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he

 hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set
 on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for
 the name of the LORD God of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|6:11  And in it have I put the ark, wherein [is] the
 covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|6:12  And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the
 presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
   Chronicles-2|6:13  For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, of five cubits
 long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the
 midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees
 before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward
 heaven,
   Chronicles-2|6:14  And said, O LORD God of Israel, [there is] no God like
 thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and [showest]
 mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
   Chronicles-2|6:15  Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father
 that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast
 fulfilled [it] with thine hand, as [it is] this day.
   Chronicles-2|6:16  Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy
 servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There
 shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet

 so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast
 walked before me.
   Chronicles-2|6:17  Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be
 verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
   Chronicles-2|6:18  But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth?
 behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less
 this house which I have built!
   Chronicles-2|6:19  Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant,
 and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the
 prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
   Chronicles-2|6:20  That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and
 night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy
 name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward
 this place.
   Chronicles-2|6:21  Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy
 servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place:
 hear thou from thy dwelling place, [even] from heaven; and when thou
 hearest, forgive.
   Chronicles-2|6:22  If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be
 laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in
 this house;

   Chronicles-2|6:23  Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy
 servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own
 head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his
 righteousness.
   Chronicles-2|6:24  And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before
 the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and
 confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;
   Chronicles-2|6:25  Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin
 of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest
 to them and to their fathers.
   Chronicles-2|6:26  When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain,
 because they have sinned against thee; [yet] if they pray toward this
 place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost
 afflict them;
   Chronicles-2|6:27  Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy
 servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good
 way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast
 given unto thy people for an inheritance.
   Chronicles-2|6:28  If there be dearth in the land, if there be
 pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if
 their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or

 whatsoever sickness [there be]:
   Chronicles-2|6:29  [Then] what prayer [or] what supplication soever shall
 be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know
 his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this
 house:
   Chronicles-2|6:30  Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and
 forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart
 thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)
   Chronicles-2|6:31  That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long
 as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
   Chronicles-2|6:32  Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy
 people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake,
 and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in
 this house;
   Chronicles-2|6:33  Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy
 dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee
 for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as
 [doth] thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built
 is called by thy name.
   Chronicles-2|6:34  If thy people go out to war against their enemies by
 the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city

 which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;
   Chronicles-2|6:35  Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their
 supplication, and maintain their cause.
   Chronicles-2|6:36  If they sin against thee, (for [there is] no man which
 sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before
 [their] enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or
 near;
   Chronicles-2|6:37  Yet [if] they bethink themselves in the land whither
 they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their
 captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt
 wickedly;
   Chronicles-2|6:38  If they return to thee with all their heart and with
 all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried
 them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their
 fathers, and [toward] the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house
 which I have built for thy name:
   Chronicles-2|6:39  Then hear thou from the heavens, [even] from thy
 dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their
 cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.
   Chronicles-2|6:40  Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open,
 and [let] thine ears [be] attent unto the prayer [that is made] in this

 place.
   Chronicles-2|6:41  Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting
 place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be
 clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
   Chronicles-2|6:42  O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed:
 remember the mercies of David thy servant.
   Chronicles-2|7:1  Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire
 came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices;
 and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
   Chronicles-2|7:2  And the priests could not enter into the house of the
 LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house.
   Chronicles-2|7:3  And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire
 came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves
 with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and
 praised the LORD, [saying], For [he is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for
 ever.
   Chronicles-2|7:4  Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices
 before the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|7:5  And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two
 thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and
 all the people dedicated the house of God.

   Chronicles-2|7:6  And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites
 also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made
 to praise the LORD, because his mercy [endureth] for ever, when David
 praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them,
 and all Israel stood.
   Chronicles-2|7:7  Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that
 [was] before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings,
 and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar which Solomon
 had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat
 offerings, and the fat.
   Chronicles-2|7:8  Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven
 days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering
 in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
   Chronicles-2|7:9  And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for
 they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
   Chronicles-2|7:10  And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh
 month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for
 the goodness that the LORD had showed unto David, and to Solomon, and to
 Israel his people.
   Chronicles-2|7:11  Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the
 king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house

 of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
   Chronicles-2|7:12  And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said
 unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for
 an house of sacrifice.
   Chronicles-2|7:13  If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I
 command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my
 people;
   Chronicles-2|7:14  If my people, which are called by my name, shall
 humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked
 ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will
 heal their land.
   Chronicles-2|7:15  Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto
 the prayer [that is made] in this place.
   Chronicles-2|7:16  For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that
 my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there
 perpetually.
   Chronicles-2|7:17  And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David
 thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and
 shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
   Chronicles-2|7:18  Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom,
 according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall

 not fail thee a man [to be] ruler in Israel.
   Chronicles-2|7:19  But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my
 commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other
 gods, and worship them;
   Chronicles-2|7:20  Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land
 which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my
 name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it [to be] a proverb and a
 byword among all nations.
   Chronicles-2|7:21  And this house, which is high, shall be an
 astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why
 hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
   Chronicles-2|7:22  And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the
 LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of
 Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them:
 therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
   Chronicles-2|8:1  And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein
 Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
   Chronicles-2|8:2  That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon,
 Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
   Chronicles-2|8:3  And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against
 it.

   Chronicles-2|8:4  And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the
 store cities, which he built in Hamath.
   Chronicles-2|8:5  Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the
 nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
   Chronicles-2|8:6  And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had,
 and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that
 Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all
 the land of his dominion.
   Chronicles-2|8:7  [As for] all the people [that were] left of the
 Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
 Jebusites, which [were] not of Israel,
   Chronicles-2|8:8  [But] of their children, who were left after them in
 the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make
 to pay tribute until this day.
   Chronicles-2|8:9  But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no
 servants for his work; but they [were] men of war, and chief of his
 captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
   Chronicles-2|8:10  And these [were] the chief of king Solomon's officers,
 [even] two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
   Chronicles-2|8:11  And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of
 the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My

 wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because [the
 places are] holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.
   Chronicles-2|8:12  Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on
 the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
   Chronicles-2|8:13  Even after a certain rate every day, offering
 according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new
 moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, [even] in the
 feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of
 tabernacles.
   Chronicles-2|8:14  And he appointed, according to the order of David his
 father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to
 their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of
 every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so
 had David the man of God commanded.
   Chronicles-2|8:15  And they departed not from the commandment of the king
 unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the
 treasures.
   Chronicles-2|8:16  Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day
 of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. [So]
 the house of the LORD was perfected.
   Chronicles-2|8:17  Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the

 sea side in the land of Edom.
   Chronicles-2|8:18  And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships,
 and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants
 of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of
 gold, and brought [them] to king Solomon.
   Chronicles-2|9:1  And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of
 Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a
 very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and
 precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of
 all that was in her heart.
   Chronicles-2|9:2  And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was
 nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
   Chronicles-2|9:3  And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of
 Solomon, and the house that he had built,
   Chronicles-2|9:4  And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his
 servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his
 cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into
 the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
   Chronicles-2|9:5  And she said to the king, [It was] a true report which
 I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:
   Chronicles-2|9:6  Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and

 mine eyes had seen [it]: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy
 wisdom was not told me: [for] thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
   Chronicles-2|9:7  Happy [are] thy men, and happy [are] these thy
 servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
   Chronicles-2|9:8  Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to
 set thee on his throne, [to be] king for the LORD thy God: because thy God
 loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over
 them, to do judgment and justice.
   Chronicles-2|9:9  And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of
 gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there
 any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.
   Chronicles-2|9:10  And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of
 Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious
 stones.
   Chronicles-2|9:11  And the king made [of] the algum trees terraces to the
 house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for
 singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
   Chronicles-2|9:12  And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her
 desire, whatsoever she asked, beside [that] which she had brought unto the
 king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
   Chronicles-2|9:13  Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one

 year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
   Chronicles-2|9:14  Beside [that which] chapmen and merchants brought. And
 all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and
 silver to Solomon.
   Chronicles-2|9:15  And king Solomon made two hundred targets [of] beaten
 gold: six hundred [shekels] of beaten gold went to one target.
   Chronicles-2|9:16  And three hundred shields [made he of] beaten gold:
 three hundred [shekels] of gold went to one shield. And the king put them
 in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
   Chronicles-2|9:17  Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and
 overlaid it with pure gold.
   Chronicles-2|9:18  And [there were] six steps to the throne, with a
 footstool of gold, [which were] fastened to the throne, and stays on each
 side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
   Chronicles-2|9:19  And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on
 the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
   Chronicles-2|9:20  And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon [were of]
 gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [were of]
 pure gold: none [were of] silver; it was [not] any thing accounted of in
 the days of Solomon.
   Chronicles-2|9:21  For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the

 servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish
 bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
   Chronicles-2|9:22  And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in
 riches and wisdom.
   Chronicles-2|9:23  And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of
 Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
   Chronicles-2|9:24  And they brought every man his present, vessels of
 silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and
 mules, a rate year by year.
   Chronicles-2|9:25  And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and
 chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot
 cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|9:26  And he reigned over all the kings from the river even
 unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
   Chronicles-2|9:27  And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and
 cedar trees made he as the sycamore trees that [are] in the low plains in
 abundance.
   Chronicles-2|9:28  And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and
 out of all lands.
   Chronicles-2|9:29  Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last,
 [are] they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the

 prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer
 against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
   Chronicles-2|9:30  And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty
 years.
   Chronicles-2|9:31  And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried
 in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|10:1  And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all
 Israel come to make him king.
   Chronicles-2|10:2  And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat,
 who [was] in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the
 king, heard [it], that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
   Chronicles-2|10:3  And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all
 Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
   Chronicles-2|10:4  Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease
 thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that
 he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
   Chronicles-2|10:5  And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three
 days. And the people departed.
   Chronicles-2|10:6  And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that
 had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What
 counsel give ye [me] to return answer to this people?

   Chronicles-2|10:7  And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to
 this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be
 thy servants for ever.
   Chronicles-2|10:8  But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him,
 and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that
 stood before him.
   Chronicles-2|10:9  And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may
 return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease
 somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
   Chronicles-2|10:10  And the young men that were brought up with him spake
 unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee,
 saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou [it] somewhat lighter
 for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little [finger] shall be thicker
 than my father's loins.
   Chronicles-2|10:11  For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I
 will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will
 chastise you] with scorpions.
   Chronicles-2|10:12  So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on
 the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
   Chronicles-2|10:13  And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam
 forsook the counsel of the old men,

   Chronicles-2|10:14  And answered them after the advice of the young men,
 saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father
 chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
   Chronicles-2|10:15  So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the
 cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by
 the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
   Chronicles-2|10:16  And when all Israel [saw] that the king would not
 hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have
 we in David? and [we have] none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man
 to your tents, O Israel: [and] now, David, see to thine own house. So all
 Israel went to their tents.
   Chronicles-2|10:17  But [as for] the children of Israel that dwelt in the
 cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
   Chronicles-2|10:18  Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that [was] over the
 tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died.
 But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to [his] chariot, to flee to
 Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|10:19  And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto
 this day.
   Chronicles-2|11:1  And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered
 of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen

 [men], which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring
 the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
   Chronicles-2|11:2  But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of
 God, saying,
   Chronicles-2|11:3  Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah,
 and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
   Chronicles-2|11:4  Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight
 against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is
 done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going
 against Jeroboam.
   Chronicles-2|11:5  And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for
 defence in Judah.
   Chronicles-2|11:6  He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
   Chronicles-2|11:7  And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
   Chronicles-2|11:8  And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
   Chronicles-2|11:9  And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
   Chronicles-2|11:10  And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which [are] in
 Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
   Chronicles-2|11:11  And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains
 in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
   Chronicles-2|11:12  And in every several city [he put] shields and

 spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his
 side.
   Chronicles-2|11:13  And the priests and the Levites that [were] in all
 Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
   Chronicles-2|11:14  For the Levites left their suburbs and their
 possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had
 cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:
   Chronicles-2|11:15  And he ordained him priests for the high places, and
 for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
   Chronicles-2|11:16  And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such
 as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to
 sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.
   Chronicles-2|11:17  So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made
 Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they
 walked in the way of David and Solomon.
   Chronicles-2|11:18  And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of
 Jerimoth the son of David to wife, [and] Abihail the daughter of Eliab the
 son of Jesse;
   Chronicles-2|11:19  Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and
 Zaham.
   Chronicles-2|11:20  And after her he took Maachah the daughter of

 Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
   Chronicles-2|11:21  And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom
 above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and
 threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore
 daughters.)
   Chronicles-2|11:22  And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the
 chief, [to be] ruler among his brethren: for [he thought] to make him king.
   Chronicles-2|11:23  And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his
 children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every
 fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many
 wives.
   Chronicles-2|12:1  And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the
 kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and
 all Israel with him.
   Chronicles-2|12:2  And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth year of king
 Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had
 transgressed against the LORD,
   Chronicles-2|12:3  With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand
 horsemen: and the people [were] without number that came with him out of
 Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
   Chronicles-2|12:4  And he took the fenced cities which [pertained] to

 Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|12:5  Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and [to]
 the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of
 Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and
 therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
   Chronicles-2|12:6  Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled
 themselves; and they said, The LORD [is] righteous.
   Chronicles-2|12:7  And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves,
 the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled
 themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some
 deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the
 hand of Shishak.
   Chronicles-2|12:8  Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may
 know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
   Chronicles-2|12:9  So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem,
 and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of
 the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold
 which Solomon had made.
   Chronicles-2|12:10  Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass,
 and committed [them] to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the
 entrance of the king's house.

   Chronicles-2|12:11  And when the king entered into the house of the LORD,
 the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard
 chamber.
   Chronicles-2|12:12  And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD
 turned from him, that he would not destroy [him] altogether: and also in
 Judah things went well.
   Chronicles-2|12:13  So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem,
 and reigned: for Rehoboam [was] one and forty years old when he began to
 reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD
 had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his
  And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and

   Chronicles-2|12:14  And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to
 seek the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|12:15  Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, [are] they
 not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer
 concerning genealogies? And [there were] wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam
 continually.
   Chronicles-2|12:16  And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried
 in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|13:1  Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began

 Abijah to reign over Judah.
   Chronicles-2|13:2  He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name
 also [was] Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war
 between Abijah and Jeroboam.
   Chronicles-2|13:3  And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of
 valiant men of war, [even] four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also
 set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men,
 [being] mighty men of valour.
   Chronicles-2|13:4  And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which [is] in
 mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
   Chronicles-2|13:5  Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave
 the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, [even] to him and to his sons by
 a covenant of salt?
   Chronicles-2|13:6  Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon
 the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.
   Chronicles-2|13:7  And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children
 of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of
 Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand
 them.
   Chronicles-2|13:8  And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD
 in the hand of the sons of David; and ye [be] a great multitude, and [there

 are] with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
   Chronicles-2|13:9  Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons
 of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of
 the nations of [other] lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate
 himself with a young bullock and seven rams, [the same] may be a priest of
 [them that are] no gods.
   Chronicles-2|13:10  But as for us, the LORD [is] our God, and we have not
 forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, [are] the sons
 of Aaron, and the Levites [wait] upon [their] business:
   Chronicles-2|13:11  And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every
 evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the showbread also [set they in
 order] upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps
 thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God;
 but ye have forsaken him.
   Chronicles-2|13:12  And, behold, God himself [is] with us for [our]
 captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O
 children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for
 ye shall not prosper.
   Chronicles-2|13:13  But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about
 behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment [was] behind
 them.

   Chronicles-2|13:14  And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle [was]
 before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded
 with the trumpets.
   Chronicles-2|13:15  Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of
 Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel
 before Abijah and Judah.
   Chronicles-2|13:16  And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God
 delivered them into their hand.
   Chronicles-2|13:17  And Abijah and his people slew them with a great
 slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen
 men.
   Chronicles-2|13:18  Thus the children of Israel were brought under at
 that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon
 the LORD God of their fathers.
   Chronicles-2|13:19  And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities
 from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns
 thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
   Chronicles-2|13:20  Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the
 days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
   Chronicles-2|13:21  But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives,
 and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

   Chronicles-2|13:22  And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and
 his sayings, [are] written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
   Chronicles-2|14:1  So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him
 in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the
 land was quiet ten years.
   Chronicles-2|14:2  And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the
 eyes of the LORD his God:
   Chronicles-2|14:3  For he took away the altars of the strange [gods], and
 the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
   Chronicles-2|14:4  And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their
 fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
   Chronicles-2|14:5  Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the
 high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
   Chronicles-2|14:6  And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had
 rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him
 rest.
   Chronicles-2|14:7  Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these
 cities, and make about [them] walls, and towers, gates, and bars, [while]
 the land [is] yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we
 have sought [him], and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built
 and prospered.

   Chronicles-2|14:8  And Asa had an army [of men] that bare targets and
 spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare
 shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these [were]
 mighty men of valour.
   Chronicles-2|14:9  And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian
 with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came
 unto Mareshah.
   Chronicles-2|14:10  Then Asa went out against him, and they set the
 battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
   Chronicles-2|14:11  And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD,
 [it is] nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that
 have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy
 name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou [art] our God; let not man
 prevail against thee.
   Chronicles-2|14:12  So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and
 before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
   Chronicles-2|14:13  And Asa and the people that [were] with him pursued
 them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not
 recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his
 host; and they carried away very much spoil.
   Chronicles-2|14:14  And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for

 the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for
 there was exceeding much spoil in them.
   Chronicles-2|14:15  They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away
 sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|15:1  And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of
 Oded:
   Chronicles-2|15:2  And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear
 ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD [is] with you, while ye be
 with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake
 him, he will forsake you.
   Chronicles-2|15:3  Now for a long season Israel [hath been] without the
 true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
   Chronicles-2|15:4  But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD
 God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
   Chronicles-2|15:5  And in those times [there was] no peace to him that
 went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations [were] upon all the
 inhabitants of the countries.
   Chronicles-2|15:6  And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city:
 for God did vex them with all adversity.
   Chronicles-2|15:7  Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be
 weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

   Chronicles-2|15:8  And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of
 Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of
 all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had
 taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that [was]
 before the porch of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|15:9  And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the
 strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for
 they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD
 his God [was] with him.
   Chronicles-2|15:10  So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in
 the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
   Chronicles-2|15:11  And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the
 spoil [which] they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand
 sheep.
   Chronicles-2|15:12  And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God
 of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
   Chronicles-2|15:13  That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel
 should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
   Chronicles-2|15:14  And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and
 with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
   Chronicles-2|15:15  And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had

 sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he
 was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
   Chronicles-2|15:16  And also [concerning] Maachah the mother of Asa the
 king, he removed her from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a
 grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped [it], and burnt [it] at the
 brook Kidron.
   Chronicles-2|15:17  But the high places were not taken away out of
 Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
   Chronicles-2|15:18  And he brought into the house of God the things that
 his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and
 gold, and vessels.
   Chronicles-2|15:19  And there was no [more] war unto the five and
 thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
   Chronicles-2|16:1  In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa
 Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent
 that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
   Chronicles-2|16:2  Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the
 treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to
 Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
   Chronicles-2|16:3  [There is] a league between me and thee, as [there
 was] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and

 gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart
 from me.
   Chronicles-2|16:4  And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the
 captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon,
 and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
   Chronicles-2|16:5  And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [it], that he
 left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
   Chronicles-2|16:6  Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried
 away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was
 building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
   Chronicles-2|16:7  And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of
 Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria,
 and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of
 Syria escaped out of thine hand.
   Chronicles-2|16:8  Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host,
 with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the
 LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
   Chronicles-2|16:9  For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the
 whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart
 [is] perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from
 henceforth thou shalt have wars.

   Chronicles-2|16:10  Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a
 prison house; for [he was] in a rage with him because of this [thing]. And
 Asa oppressed [some] of the people the same time.
   Chronicles-2|16:11  And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo,
 they [are] written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
   Chronicles-2|16:12  And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was
 diseased in his feet, until his disease [was] exceeding [great]: yet in his
 disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
   Chronicles-2|16:13  And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one
 and fortieth year of his reign.
   Chronicles-2|16:14  And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he
 had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which
 was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the
 apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.
   Chronicles-2|17:1  And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and
 strengthened himself against Israel.
   Chronicles-2|17:2  And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of
 Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of
 Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
   Chronicles-2|17:3  And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked
 in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;

   Chronicles-2|17:4  But sought to the [LORD] God of his father, and walked
 in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|17:5  Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand;
 and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour
 in abundance.
   Chronicles-2|17:6  And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD:
 moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah.
   Chronicles-2|17:7  Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his
 princes, [even] to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to
 Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.
   Chronicles-2|17:8  And with them [he sent] Levites, [even] Shemaiah, and
 Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and
 Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and
 Jehoram, priests.
   Chronicles-2|17:9  And they taught in Judah, and [had] the book of the
 law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of
 Judah, and taught the people.
   Chronicles-2|17:10  And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms
 of the lands that [were] round about Judah, so that they made no war
 against Jehoshaphat.
   Chronicles-2|17:11  Also [some] of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat

 presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven
 thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he
 goats.
   Chronicles-2|17:12  And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built
 in Judah castles, and cities of store.
   Chronicles-2|17:13  And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and
 the men of war, mighty men of valour, [were] in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|17:14  And these [are] the numbers of them according to the
 house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the
 chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.
   Chronicles-2|17:15  And next to him [was] Jehohanan the captain, and with
 him two hundred and fourscore thousand.
   Chronicles-2|17:16  And next him [was] Amasiah the son of Zichri, who
 willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand
 mighty men of valour.
   Chronicles-2|17:17  And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and
 with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand.
   Chronicles-2|17:18  And next him [was] Jehozabad, and with him an hundred
 and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war.
   Chronicles-2|17:19  These waited on the king, beside [those] whom the
 king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.

   Chronicles-2|18:1  Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance,
 and joined affinity with Ahab.
   Chronicles-2|18:2  And after [certain] years he went down to Ahab to
 Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the
 people that [he had] with him, and persuaded him to go up [with him] to
 Ramothgilead.
   Chronicles-2|18:3  And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of
 Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I [am] as
 thou [art], and my people as thy people; and [we will be] with thee in the
 war.
   Chronicles-2|18:4  And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire,
 I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
   Chronicles-2|18:5  Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of
 prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead
 to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver
 [it] into the king's hand.
   Chronicles-2|18:6  But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of
 the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?
   Chronicles-2|18:7  And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [There
 is] yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he
 never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same [is] Micaiah the

 son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
   Chronicles-2|18:8  And the king of Israel called for one [of his]
 officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
   Chronicles-2|18:9  And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah
 sat either of them on his throne, clothed in [their] robes, and they sat in
 a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the
 prophets prophesied before them.
   Chronicles-2|18:10  And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns
 of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria
 until they be consumed.
   Chronicles-2|18:11  And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to
 Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the hand of
 the king.
   Chronicles-2|18:12  And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to
 him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king
 with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of
 theirs, and speak thou good.
   Chronicles-2|18:13  And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD liveth, even what my
 God saith, that will I speak.
   Chronicles-2|18:14  And when he was come to the king, the king said unto
 him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear?

 And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your
 hand.
   Chronicles-2|18:15  And the king said to him, How many times shall I
 adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the
 LORD?
   Chronicles-2|18:16  Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the
 mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no
 master; let them return [therefore] every man to his house in peace.
   Chronicles-2|18:17  And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not
 tell thee [that] he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
   Chronicles-2|18:18  Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I
 saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing
 on his right hand and [on] his left.
   Chronicles-2|18:19  And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of
 Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying
 after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
   Chronicles-2|18:20  Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the
 LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?
   Chronicles-2|18:21  And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in
 the mouth of all his prophets. And [the LORD] said, Thou shalt entice
 [him], and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do [even] so.

   Chronicles-2|18:22  Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying
 spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil
 against thee.
   Chronicles-2|18:23  Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and
 smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the
 LORD from me to speak unto thee?
   Chronicles-2|18:24  And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day
 when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
   Chronicles-2|18:25  Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and
 carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's
 son;
   Chronicles-2|18:26  And say, Thus saith the king, Put this [fellow] in
 the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of
 affliction, until I return in peace.
   Chronicles-2|18:27  And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace,
 [then] hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
   Chronicles-2|18:28  So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of
 Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
   Chronicles-2|18:29  And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will
 disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So
 the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

   Chronicles-2|18:30  Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of
 the chariots that [were] with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or
 great, save only with the king of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|18:31  And it came to pass, when the captains of the
 chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It [is] the king of Israel.
 Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and
 the LORD helped him; and God moved them [to depart] from him.
   Chronicles-2|18:32  For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the
 chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back
 again from pursuing him.
   Chronicles-2|18:33  And a [certain] man drew a bow at a venture, and
 smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he
 said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of
 the host; for I am wounded.
   Chronicles-2|18:34  And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king
 of Israel stayed [himself] up in [his] chariot against the Syrians until
 the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
   Chronicles-2|19:1  And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his
 house in peace to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|19:2  And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet
 him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and

 love them that hate the LORD? therefore [is] wrath upon thee from before
 the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|19:3  Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in
 that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared
 thine heart to seek God.
   Chronicles-2|19:4  And Jehoshaphat dwelt at Jerusalem: and he went out
 again through the people from Beersheba to mount Ephraim, and brought them
 back unto the LORD God of their fathers.
   Chronicles-2|19:5  And he set judges in the land throughout all the
 fenced cities of Judah, city by city,
   Chronicles-2|19:6  And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye
 judge not for man, but for the LORD, who [is] with you in the judgment.
   Chronicles-2|19:7  Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you;
 take heed and do [it]: for [there is] no iniquity with the LORD our God,
 nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.
   Chronicles-2|19:8  Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat set of the
 Levites, and [of] the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel,
 for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to
 Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|19:9  And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye do in the
 fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart.

   Chronicles-2|19:10  And what cause soever shall come to you of your
 brethren that dwell in their cities, between blood and blood, between law
 and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they
 trespass not against the LORD, and [so] wrath come upon you, and upon your
 brethren: this do, and ye shall not trespass.
   Chronicles-2|19:11  And, behold, Amariah the chief priest [is] over you
 in all matters of the LORD; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of
 the house of Judah, for all the king's matters: also the Levites [shall be]
 officers before you. Deal courageously, and the LORD shall be with the
 good.
   Chronicles-2|20:1  It came to pass after this also, [that] the children
 of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them [other] beside the
 Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
   Chronicles-2|20:2  Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying,
 There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this
 side Syria; and, behold, they [be] in Hazazontamar, which [is] Engedi.
   Chronicles-2|20:3  And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the
 LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
   Chronicles-2|20:4  And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask [help]
 of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the
 LORD.

   Chronicles-2|20:5  And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and
 Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,
   Chronicles-2|20:6  And said, O LORD God of our fathers, [art] not thou
 God in heaven? and rulest [not] thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen?
 and in thine hand [is there not] power and might, so that none is able to
 withstand thee?
   Chronicles-2|20:7  [Art] not thou our God, [who] didst drive out the
 inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the
 seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?
   Chronicles-2|20:8  And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a
 sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,
   Chronicles-2|20:9  If, [when] evil cometh upon us, [as] the sword,
 judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy
 presence, (for thy name [is] in this house,) and cry unto thee in our
 affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.
   Chronicles-2|20:10  And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and
 mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of
 the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;
   Chronicles-2|20:11  Behold, [I say, how] they reward us, to come to cast
 us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.
   Chronicles-2|20:12  O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no

 might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we
 what to do: but our eyes [are] upon thee.
   Chronicles-2|20:13  And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their
 little ones, their wives, and their children.
   Chronicles-2|20:14  Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of
 Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of
 Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;
   Chronicles-2|20:15  And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye
 inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD
 unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for
 the battle [is] not yours, but God's.
   Chronicles-2|20:16  To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come
 up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook,
 before the wilderness of Jeruel.
   Chronicles-2|20:17  Ye shall not [need] to fight in this [battle]: set
 yourselves, stand ye [still], and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O
 Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against
 them: for the LORD [will be] with you.
   Chronicles-2|20:18  And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with [his] face to the
 ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the
 LORD, worshipping the LORD.

   Chronicles-2|20:19  And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites,
 and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of
 Israel with a loud voice on high.
   Chronicles-2|20:20  And they rose early in the morning, and went forth
 into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and
 said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the
 LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall
 ye prosper.
   Chronicles-2|20:21  And when he had consulted with the people, he
 appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of
 holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD;
 for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
   Chronicles-2|20:22  And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD
 set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which
 were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
   Chronicles-2|20:23  For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against
 the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy [them]: and when
 they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to
 destroy another.
   Chronicles-2|20:24  And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the
 wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they [were] dead

 bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
   Chronicles-2|20:25  And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away
 the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the
 dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves,
 more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of
 the spoil, it was so much.
   Chronicles-2|20:26  And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in
 the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name
 of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
   Chronicles-2|20:27  Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem,
 and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with
 joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
   Chronicles-2|20:28  And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps
 and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|20:29  And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of
 [those] countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the
 enemies of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|20:30  So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God
 gave him rest round about.
   Chronicles-2|20:31  And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: [he was] thirty
 and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five

 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Azubah the daughter of
 Shilhi.
   Chronicles-2|20:32  And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and
 departed not from it, doing [that which was] right in the sight of the
 LORD.
   Chronicles-2|20:33  Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as
 yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.
   Chronicles-2|20:34  Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and
 last, behold, they [are] written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who
 [is] mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|20:35  And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join
 himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:
   Chronicles-2|20:36  And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to
 Tarshish: and they made the ships in Eziongaber.
   Chronicles-2|20:37  Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah
 prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself
 with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken,
 that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
   Chronicles-2|21:1  Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried
 with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his
 stead.

   Chronicles-2|21:2  And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah,
 and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all
 these [were] the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|21:3  And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and
 of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the
 kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he [was] the firstborn.
   Chronicles-2|21:4  Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his
 father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword,
 and [divers] also of the princes of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|21:5  Jehoram [was] thirty and two years old when he began
 to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|21:6  And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like
 as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he
 wrought [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|21:7  Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David,
 because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to
 give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
   Chronicles-2|21:8  In his days the Edomites revolted from under the
 dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
   Chronicles-2|21:9  Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his
 chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which

 compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.
   Chronicles-2|21:10  So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah
 unto this day. The same time [also] did Libnah revolt from under his hand;
 because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
   Chronicles-2|21:11  Moreover he made high places in the mountains of
 Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and
 compelled Judah [thereto].
   Chronicles-2|21:12  And there came a writing to him from Elijah the
 prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou
 hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of
 Asa king of Judah,
   Chronicles-2|21:13  But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel,
 and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like
 to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of
 thy father's house, [which were] better than thyself:
   Chronicles-2|21:14  Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy
 people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
   Chronicles-2|21:15  And thou [shalt have] great sickness by disease of
 thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
   Chronicles-2|21:16  Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the
 spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that [were] near the

 Ethiopians:
   Chronicles-2|21:17  And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and
 carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his
 sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save
 Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
   Chronicles-2|21:18  And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels
 with an incurable disease.
   Chronicles-2|21:19  And it came to pass, that in process of time, after
 the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he
 died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the
 burning of his fathers.
   Chronicles-2|21:20  Thirty and two years old was he when he began to
 reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being
 desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the
 sepulchres of the kings.
   Chronicles-2|22:1  And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his
 youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the
 Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of
 Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
   Chronicles-2|22:2  Forty and two years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to
 reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was]

 Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
   Chronicles-2|22:3  He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for
 his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
   Chronicles-2|22:4  Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like
 the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his
 father to his destruction.
   Chronicles-2|22:5  He walked also after their counsel, and went with
 Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria
 at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
   Chronicles-2|22:6  And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the
 wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of
 Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see
 Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
   Chronicles-2|22:7  And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to
 Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son
 of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
   Chronicles-2|22:8  And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing
 judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the
 sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.
   Chronicles-2|22:9  And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he
 was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him,

 they buried him: Because, said they, he [is] the son of Jehoshaphat, who
 sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to
 keep still the kingdom.
   Chronicles-2|22:10  But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her
 son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of
 Judah.
   Chronicles-2|22:11  But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took
 Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that
 were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the
 daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the
 sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
   Chronicles-2|22:12  And he was with them hid in the house of God six
 years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
   Chronicles-2|23:1  And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself,
 and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael
 the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of
 Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
   Chronicles-2|23:2  And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites
 out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and
 they came to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|23:3  And all the congregation made a covenant with the king

 in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall
 reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
   Chronicles-2|23:4  This [is] the thing that ye shall do; A third part of
 you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, [shall be]
 porters of the doors;
   Chronicles-2|23:5  And a third part [shall be] at the king's house; and a
 third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people [shall be] in
 the courts of the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|23:6  But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the
 priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they
 [are] holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|23:7  And the Levites shall compass the king round about,
 every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever [else] cometh into
 the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh
 in, and when he goeth out.
   Chronicles-2|23:8  So the Levites and all Judah did according to all
 things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men
 that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go [out] on the
 sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
   Chronicles-2|23:9  Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains
 of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that [had been] king

 David's, which [were] in the house of God.
   Chronicles-2|23:10  And he set all the people, every man having his
 weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of
 the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
   Chronicles-2|23:11  Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon
 him the crown, and [gave him] the testimony, and made him king. And
 Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
   Chronicles-2|23:12  Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people
 running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the
 LORD:
   Chronicles-2|23:13  And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his
 pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king:
 and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also
 the singers with instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise.
 Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
   Chronicles-2|23:14  Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of
 hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of
 the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For
 the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|23:15  So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to
 the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.

   Chronicles-2|23:16  And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between
 all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD'S
 people.
   Chronicles-2|23:17  Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and
 brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew
 Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
   Chronicles-2|23:18  Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of
 the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed
 in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as [it
 is] written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, [as it
 was ordained] by David.
   Chronicles-2|23:19  And he set the porters at the gates of the house of
 the LORD, that none [which was] unclean in any thing should enter in.
   Chronicles-2|23:20  And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles,
 and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and
 brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the
 high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the
 kingdom.
   Chronicles-2|23:21  And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city
 was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
   Chronicles-2|24:1  Joash [was] seven years old when he began to reign,

 and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was]
 Zibiah of Beersheba.
   Chronicles-2|24:2  And Joash did [that which was] right in the sight of
 the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
   Chronicles-2|24:3  And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons
 and daughters.
   Chronicles-2|24:4  And it came to pass after this, [that] Joash was
 minded to repair the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|24:5  And he gathered together the priests and the Levites,
 and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel
 money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye
 hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened [it] not.
   Chronicles-2|24:6  And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said
 unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of
 Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, [according to the commandment]
 of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for
 the tabernacle of witness?
   Chronicles-2|24:7  For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had
 broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house
 of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.
   Chronicles-2|24:8  And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and

 set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|24:9  And they made a proclamation through Judah and
 Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection [that] Moses the servant
 of God [laid] upon Israel in the wilderness.
   Chronicles-2|24:10  And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and
 brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
   Chronicles-2|24:11  Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was
 brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they
 saw that [there was] much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's
 officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his
 place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
   Chronicles-2|24:12  And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the
 work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and
 carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron
 and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|24:13  So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by
 them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
   Chronicles-2|24:14  And when they had finished [it], they brought the
 rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels
 for the house of the LORD, [even] vessels to minister, and to offer
 [withal], and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered

 burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of
 Jehoiada.
   Chronicles-2|24:15  But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he
 died; an hundred and thirty years old [was he] when he died.
   Chronicles-2|24:16  And they buried him in the city of David among the
 kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his
 house.
   Chronicles-2|24:17  Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of
 Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
   Chronicles-2|24:18  And they left the house of the LORD God of their
 fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and
 Jerusalem for this their trespass.
   Chronicles-2|24:19  Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again
 unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give
 ear.
   Chronicles-2|24:20  And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of
 Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus
 saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot
 prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
   Chronicles-2|24:21  And they conspired against him, and stoned him with
 stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the

 LORD.
   Chronicles-2|24:22  Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which
 Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he
 said, The LORD look upon [it], and require [it].
   Chronicles-2|24:23  And it came to pass at the end of the year, [that]
 the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and
 Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the
 people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
   Chronicles-2|24:24  For the army of the Syrians came with a small company
 of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because
 they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment
 against Joash.
   Chronicles-2|24:25  And when they were departed from him, (for they left
 him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the
 blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he
 died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in
 the sepulchres of the kings.
   Chronicles-2|24:26  And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad
 the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a
 Moabitess.
   Chronicles-2|24:27  Now [concerning] his sons, and the greatness of the

 burdens [laid] upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold,
 they [are] written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his
 son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|25:1  Amaziah [was] twenty and five years old [when] he
 began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his
 mother's name [was] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|25:2  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the
 LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
   Chronicles-2|25:3  Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established
 to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
   Chronicles-2|25:4  But he slew not their children, but [did] as [it is]
 written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying,
 The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die
 for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
   Chronicles-2|25:5  Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made
 them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the
 houses of [their] fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he
 numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred
 thousand choice [men, able] to go forth to war, that could handle spear and
 shield.
   Chronicles-2|25:6  He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour

 out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
   Chronicles-2|25:7  But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king,
 let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD [is] not with Israel,
 [to wit, with] all the children of Ephraim.
   Chronicles-2|25:8  But if thou wilt go, do [it], be strong for the
 battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to
 help, and to cast down.
   Chronicles-2|25:9  And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we
 do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And
 the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
   Chronicles-2|25:10  Then Amaziah separated them, [to wit], the army that
 was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was
 greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
   Chronicles-2|25:11  And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his
 people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir
 ten thousand.
   Chronicles-2|25:12  And [other] ten thousand [left] alive did the
 children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the
 rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were
 broken in pieces.
   Chronicles-2|25:13  But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back,

 that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah,
 from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and
 took much spoil.
   Chronicles-2|25:14  Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from
 the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of
 Seir, and set them up [to be] his gods, and bowed down himself before them,
 and burned incense unto them.
   Chronicles-2|25:15  Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against
 Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou
 sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own
 people out of thine hand?
   Chronicles-2|25:16  And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the
 king] said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why
 shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that
 God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast
 not hearkened unto my counsel.
   Chronicles-2|25:17  Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to
 Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come,
 let us see one another in the face.
   Chronicles-2|25:18  And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of
 Judah, saying, The thistle that [was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar that

 [was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there
 passed by a wild beast that [was] in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
   Chronicles-2|25:19  Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and
 thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou
 meddle to [thine] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, [even] thou, and Judah
 with thee?
   Chronicles-2|25:20  But Amaziah would not hear; for it [came] of God,
 that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they
 sought after the gods of Edom.
   Chronicles-2|25:21  So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one
 another in the face, [both] he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh,
 which [belongeth] to Judah.
   Chronicles-2|25:22  And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and
 they fled every man to his tent.
   Chronicles-2|25:23  And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of
 Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought
 him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of
 Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
   Chronicles-2|25:24  And [he took] all the gold and the silver, and all
 the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the
 treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.

   Chronicles-2|25:25  And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived
 after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
   Chronicles-2|25:26  Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last,
 behold, [are] they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and
 Israel?
   Chronicles-2|25:27  Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from
 following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he
 fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
   Chronicles-2|25:28  And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with
 his fathers in the city of Judah.
   Chronicles-2|26:1  Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who [was]
 sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
   Chronicles-2|26:2  He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that
 the king slept with his fathers.
   Chronicles-2|26:3  Sixteen years old [was] Uzziah when he began to reign,
 and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also
 [was] Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|26:4  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the
 LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
   Chronicles-2|26:5  And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had
 understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God

 made him to prosper.
   Chronicles-2|26:6  And he went forth and warred against the Philistines,
 and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of
 Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
   Chronicles-2|26:7  And God helped him against the Philistines, and
 against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.
   Chronicles-2|26:8  And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name
 spread abroad [even] to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened
 [himself] exceedingly.
   Chronicles-2|26:9  Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the
 corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning [of the wall], and
 fortified them.
   Chronicles-2|26:10  Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many
 wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains:
 husbandmen [also], and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for
 he loved husbandry.
   Chronicles-2|26:11  Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that
 went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the
 hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of
 Hananiah, [one] of the king's captains.
   Chronicles-2|26:12  The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the

 mighty men of valour [were] two thousand and six hundred.
   Chronicles-2|26:13  And under their hand [was] an army, three hundred
 thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty
 power, to help the king against the enemy.
   Chronicles-2|26:14  And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host
 shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings [to
 cast] stones.
   Chronicles-2|26:15  And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning
 men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great
 stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously
 helped, till he was strong.
   Chronicles-2|26:16  But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to
 [his] destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went
 into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
   Chronicles-2|26:17  And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with
 him fourscore priests of the LORD, [that were] valiant men:
   Chronicles-2|26:18  And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto
 him, [It appertaineth] not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the
 LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn
 incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither [shall
 it be] for thine honour from the LORD God.

   Chronicles-2|26:19  Then Uzziah was wroth, and [had] a censer in his hand
 to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even
 rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from
 beside the incense altar.
   Chronicles-2|26:20  And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests,
 looked upon him, and, behold, he [was] leprous in his forehead, and they
 thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the
 LORD had smitten him.
   Chronicles-2|26:21  And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his
 death, and dwelt in a several house, [being] a leper; for he was cut off
 from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son [was] over the king's house,
 judging the people of the land.
   Chronicles-2|26:22  Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last,
 did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
   Chronicles-2|26:23  So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him
 with his fathers in the field of the burial which [belonged] to the kings;
 for they said, He [is] a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|27:1  Jotham [was] twenty and five years old when he began
 to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also
 [was] Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
   Chronicles-2|27:2  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the

 LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not
 into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
   Chronicles-2|27:3  He built the high gate of the house of the LORD, and
 on the wall of Ophel he built much.
   Chronicles-2|27:4  Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah,
 and in the forests he built castles and towers.
   Chronicles-2|27:5  He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and
 prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an
 hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten
 thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both
 the second year, and the third.
   Chronicles-2|27:6  So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways
 before the LORD his God.
   Chronicles-2|27:7  Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars,
 and his ways, lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and
 Judah.
   Chronicles-2|27:8  He was five and twenty years old when he began to
 reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|27:9  And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him
 in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|28:1  Ahaz [was] twenty years old when he began to reign,

 and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not [that which was]
 right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:
   Chronicles-2|28:2  For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and
 made also molten images for Baalim.
   Chronicles-2|28:3  Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of
 Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the
 heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|28:4  He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high
 places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
   Chronicles-2|28:5  Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand
 of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great
 multitude of them captives, and brought [them] to Damascus. And he was also
 delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great
 slaughter.
   Chronicles-2|28:6  For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred
 and twenty thousand in one day, [which were] all valiant men; because they
 had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.
   Chronicles-2|28:7  And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the
 king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah [that was]
 next to the king.
   Chronicles-2|28:8  And the children of Israel carried away captive of

 their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took
 also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
   Chronicles-2|28:9  But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name [was]
 Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto
 them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he
 hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage [that]
 reacheth up unto heaven.
   Chronicles-2|28:10  And now ye purpose to keep under the children of
 Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: [but are there] not
 with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
   Chronicles-2|28:11  Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives
 again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath
 of the LORD [is] upon you.
   Chronicles-2|28:12  Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim,
 Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and
 Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against
 them that came from the war,
   Chronicles-2|28:13  And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the
 captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD [already],
 ye intend to add [more] to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass
 is great, and [there is] fierce wrath against Israel.

   Chronicles-2|28:14  So the armed men left the captives and the spoil
 before the princes and all the congregation.
   Chronicles-2|28:15  And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and
 took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among
 them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink,
 and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and
 brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then
 they returned to Samaria.
   Chronicles-2|28:16  At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of
 Assyria to help him.
   Chronicles-2|28:17  For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah,
 and carried away captives.
   Chronicles-2|28:18  The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the
 low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and
 Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with
 the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt
 there.
   Chronicles-2|28:19  For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king
 of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|28:20  And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him,
 and distressed him, but strengthened him not.

   Chronicles-2|28:21  For Ahaz took away a portion [out] of the house of
 the LORD, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave
 [it] unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
   Chronicles-2|28:22  And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet
 more against the LORD: this [is that] king Ahaz.
   Chronicles-2|28:23  For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which
 smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them,
 [therefore] will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were
 the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
   Chronicles-2|28:24  And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house
 of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the
 doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of
 Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|28:25  And in every several city of Judah he made high
 places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God
 of his fathers.
   Chronicles-2|28:26  Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first
 and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Judah and
 Israel.
   Chronicles-2|28:27  And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him
 in the city, [even] in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the

 sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his
 stead.
   Chronicles-2|29:1  Hezekiah began to reign [when he was] five and twenty
 years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his
 mother's name [was] Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
   Chronicles-2|29:2  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the
 LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
   Chronicles-2|29:3  He in the first year of his reign, in the first month,
 opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
   Chronicles-2|29:4  And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and
 gathered them together into the east street,
   Chronicles-2|29:5  And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now
 yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and
 carry forth the filthiness out of the holy [place].
   Chronicles-2|29:6  For our fathers have trespassed, and done [that which
 was] evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have
 turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned [their]
 backs.
   Chronicles-2|29:7  Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put
 out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in
 the holy [place] unto the God of Israel.

   Chronicles-2|29:8  Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and
 Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to
 hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
   Chronicles-2|29:9  For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our
 sons and our daughters and our wives [are] in captivity for this.
   Chronicles-2|29:10  Now [it is] in mine heart to make a covenant with the
 LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
   Chronicles-2|29:11  My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath
 chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister
 unto him, and burn incense.
   Chronicles-2|29:12  Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and
 Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of
 Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the
 Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
   Chronicles-2|29:13  And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and
 of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
   Chronicles-2|29:14  And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of
 the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
   Chronicles-2|29:15  And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified
 themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the
 words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

   Chronicles-2|29:16  And the priests went into the inner part of the house
 of the LORD, to cleanse [it], and brought out all the uncleanness that they
 found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD.
 And the Levites took [it], to carry [it] out abroad into the brook Kidron.
   Chronicles-2|29:17  Now they began on the first [day] of the first month
 to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of
 the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in
 the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
   Chronicles-2|29:18  Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We
 have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering,
 with all the vessels thereof, and the showbread table, with all the vessels
 thereof.
   Chronicles-2|29:19  Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his
 reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified,
 and, behold, they [are] before the altar of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|29:20  Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the
 rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|29:21  And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and
 seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and
 for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of
 Aaron to offer [them] on the altar of the LORD.

   Chronicles-2|29:22  So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received
 the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the altar: likewise, when they had killed
 the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the
 lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
   Chronicles-2|29:23  And they brought forth the he goats [for] the sin
 offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands
 upon them:
   Chronicles-2|29:24  And the priests killed them, and they made
 reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for
 all Israel: for the king commanded [that] the burnt offering and the sin
 offering [should be made] for all Israel.
   Chronicles-2|29:25  And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with
 cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of
 David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for [so was] the
 commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
   Chronicles-2|29:26  And the Levites stood with the instruments of David,
 and the priests with the trumpets.
   Chronicles-2|29:27  And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering
 upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD
 began [also] with the trumpets, and with the instruments [ordained] by
 David king of Israel.

   Chronicles-2|29:28  And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers
 sang, and the trumpeters sounded: [and] all [this continued] until the
 burnt offering was finished.
   Chronicles-2|29:29  And when they had made an end of offering, the king
 and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
   Chronicles-2|29:30  Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded
 the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of
 Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their
 heads and worshipped.
   Chronicles-2|29:31  Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have
 consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and
 thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in
 sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt
 offerings.
   Chronicles-2|29:32  And the number of the burnt offerings, which the
 congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams,
 [and] two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a burnt offering to the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|29:33  And the consecrated things [were] six hundred oxen
 and three thousand sheep.
   Chronicles-2|29:34  But the priests were too few, so that they could not
 flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help

 them, till the work was ended, and until the [other] priests had sanctified
 themselves: for the Levites [were] more upright in heart to sanctify
 themselves than the priests.
   Chronicles-2|29:35  And also the burnt offerings [were] in abundance,
 with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for [every]
 burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
   Chronicles-2|29:36  And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God
 had prepared the people: for the thing was [done] suddenly.
   Chronicles-2|30:1  And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote
 letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of
 the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|30:2  For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and
 all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second
 month.
   Chronicles-2|30:3  For they could not keep it at that time, because the
 priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people
 gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|30:4  And the thing pleased the king and all the
 congregation.
   Chronicles-2|30:5  So they established a decree to make proclamation
 throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to

 keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had
 not done [it] of a long [time in such sort] as it was written.
   Chronicles-2|30:6  So the posts went with the letters from the king and
 his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the
 commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the
 LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant
 of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
   Chronicles-2|30:7  And be not ye like your fathers, and like your
 brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who]
 therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
   Chronicles-2|30:8  Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but]
 yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath
 sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of
 his wrath may turn away from you.
   Chronicles-2|30:9  For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and
 your children [shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive,
 so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God [is]
 gracious and merciful, and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye
 return unto him.
   Chronicles-2|30:10  So the posts passed from city to city through the
 country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to

 scorn, and mocked them.
   Chronicles-2|30:11  Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of
 Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|30:12  Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one
 heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of
 the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|30:13  And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep
 the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great
 congregation.
   Chronicles-2|30:14  And they arose and took away the altars that [were]
 in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast
 [them] into the brook Kidron.
   Chronicles-2|30:15  Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day]
 of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and
 sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of
 the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|30:16  And they stood in their place after their manner,
 according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the
 blood, [which they received] of the hand of the Levites.
   Chronicles-2|30:17  For [there were] many in the congregation that were
 not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the

 passovers for every one [that was] not clean, to sanctify [them] unto the
 LORD.
   Chronicles-2|30:18  For a multitude of the people, [even] many of
 Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves,
 yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah
 prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
   Chronicles-2|30:19  [That] prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God
 of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification
 of the sanctuary.
   Chronicles-2|30:20  And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the
 people.
   Chronicles-2|30:21  And the children of Israel that were present at
 Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great
 gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day,
 [singing] with loud instruments unto the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|30:22  And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites
 that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the
 feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the
 LORD God of their fathers.
   Chronicles-2|30:23  And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other
 seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.

   Chronicles-2|30:24  For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the
 congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes
 gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a
 great number of priests sanctified themselves.
   Chronicles-2|30:25  And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests
 and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the
 strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah,
 rejoiced.
   Chronicles-2|30:26  So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the
 time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel [there was] not the like in
 Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|30:27  Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the
 people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to his holy
 dwelling place, [even] unto heaven.
   Chronicles-2|31:1  Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were
 present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces,
 and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out
 of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had
 utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every
 man to his possession, into their own cities.
   Chronicles-2|31:2  And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and

 the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the
 priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to
 minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of
 the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|31:3  [He appointed] also the king's portion of his
 substance for the burnt offerings, [to wit], for the morning and evening
 burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new
 moons, and for the set feasts, as [it is] written in the law of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|31:4  Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in
 Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they
 might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|31:5  And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the
 children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and
 oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all
 [things] brought they in abundantly.
   Chronicles-2|31:6  And [concerning] the children of Israel and Judah,
 that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen
 and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the
 LORD their God, and laid [them] by heaps.
   Chronicles-2|31:7  In the third month they began to lay the foundation of
 the heaps, and finished [them] in the seventh month.

   Chronicles-2|31:8  And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the
 heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
   Chronicles-2|31:9  Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the
 Levites concerning the heaps.
   Chronicles-2|31:10  And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok
 answered him, and said, Since [the people] began to bring the offerings
 into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left
 plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left [is]
 this great store.
   Chronicles-2|31:11  Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the
 house of the LORD; and they prepared [them],
   Chronicles-2|31:12  And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the
 dedicated [things] faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite [was] ruler,
 and Shimei his brother [was] the next.
   Chronicles-2|31:13  And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and
 Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah,
 [were] overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the
 commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of
 God.
   Chronicles-2|31:14  And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter
 toward the east, [was] over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute

 the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
   Chronicles-2|31:15  And next him [were] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua,
 and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in
 [their] set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the
 great as to the small:
   Chronicles-2|31:16  Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old
 and upward, [even] unto every one that entereth into the house of the LORD,
 his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their
 courses;
   Chronicles-2|31:17  Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of
 their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their
 charges by their courses;
   Chronicles-2|31:18  And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their
 wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation:
 for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
   Chronicles-2|31:19  Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, [which were]
 in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the
 men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among
 the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the
 Levites.
   Chronicles-2|31:20  And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and

 wrought [that which was] good and right and truth before the LORD his God.
   Chronicles-2|31:21  And in every work that he began in the service of the
 house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he
 did [it] with all his heart, and prospered.
   Chronicles-2|32:1  After these things, and the establishment thereof,
 Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped
 against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.
   Chronicles-2|32:2  And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and
 that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
   Chronicles-2|32:3  He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to
 stop the waters of the fountains which [were] without the city: and they
 did help him.
   Chronicles-2|32:4  So there was gathered much people together, who
 stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the
 land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?
   Chronicles-2|32:5  Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the
 wall that was broken, and raised [it] up to the towers, and another wall
 without, and repaired Millo [in] the city of David, and made darts and
 shields in abundance.
   Chronicles-2|32:6  And he set captains of war over the people, and
 gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and

 spake comfortably to them, saying,
   Chronicles-2|32:7  Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed
 for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that [is] with him: for
 [there be] more with us than with him:
   Chronicles-2|32:8  With him [is] an arm of flesh; but with us [is] the
 LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested
 themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
   Chronicles-2|32:9  After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his
 servants to Jerusalem, (but he [himself laid siege] against Lachish, and
 all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah
 that [were] at Jerusalem, saying,
   Chronicles-2|32:10  Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye
 trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?
   Chronicles-2|32:11  Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over
 yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall
 deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
   Chronicles-2|32:12  Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places
 and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship
 before one altar, and burn incense upon it?
   Chronicles-2|32:13  Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all
 the people of [other] lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands

 any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?
   Chronicles-2|32:14  Who [was there] among all the gods of those nations
 that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of
 mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?
   Chronicles-2|32:15  Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor
 persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any
 nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out
 of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of
 mine hand?
   Chronicles-2|32:16  And his servants spake yet [more] against the LORD
 God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
   Chronicles-2|32:17  He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of
 Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of
 [other] lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall
 not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.
   Chronicles-2|32:18  Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech
 unto the people of Jerusalem that [were] on the wall, to affright them, and
 to trouble them; that they might take the city.
   Chronicles-2|32:19  And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as
 against the gods of the people of the earth, [which were] the work of the
 hands of man.

   Chronicles-2|32:20  And for this [cause] Hezekiah the king, and the
 prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.
   Chronicles-2|32:21  And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the
 mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king
 of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he
 was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels
 slew him there with the sword.
   Chronicles-2|32:22  Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the
 hand of all [other], and guided them on every side.
   Chronicles-2|32:23  And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem,
 and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the
 sight of all nations from thenceforth.
   Chronicles-2|32:24  In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and
 prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.
   Chronicles-2|32:25  But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the
 benefit [done] unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was
 wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|32:26  Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the
 pride of his heart, [both] he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the
 wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

   Chronicles-2|32:27  And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour:
 and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious
 stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant
 jewels;
   Chronicles-2|32:28  Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine,
 and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.
   Chronicles-2|32:29  Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of
 flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.
   Chronicles-2|32:30  This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse
 of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of
 David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
   Chronicles-2|32:31  Howbeit in [the business of] the ambassadors of the
 princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was
 [done] in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all [that
 was] in his heart.
   Chronicles-2|32:32  Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his
 goodness, behold, they [are] written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet,
 the son of Amoz, [and] in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
   Chronicles-2|32:33  And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried
 him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah
 and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh

 his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|33:1  Manasseh [was] twelve years old when he began to
 reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
   Chronicles-2|33:2  But did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
 LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out
 before the children of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|33:3  For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his
 father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made
 groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
   Chronicles-2|33:4  Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof
 the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
   Chronicles-2|33:5  And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the
 two courts of the house of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|33:6  And he caused his children to pass through the fire in
 the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used
 enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and
 with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him
 to anger.
   Chronicles-2|33:7  And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made,
 in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son,
 In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes

 of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
   Chronicles-2|33:8  Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from
 out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will
 take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law
 and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
   Chronicles-2|33:9  So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem to err, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had
 destroyed before the children of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|33:10  And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people:
 but they would not hearken.
   Chronicles-2|33:11  Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of
 the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and
 bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
   Chronicles-2|33:12  And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD
 his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
   Chronicles-2|33:13  And prayed unto him: and he was entreated of him, and
 heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his
 kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he [was] God.
   Chronicles-2|33:14  Now after this he built a wall without the city of
 David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at
 the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great

 height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
   Chronicles-2|33:15  And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out
 of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount
 of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast [them] out of the
 city.
   Chronicles-2|33:16  And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed
 thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve
 the LORD God of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|33:17  Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the
 high places, [yet] unto the LORD their God only.
   Chronicles-2|33:18  Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer
 unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of
 the LORD God of Israel, behold, they [are written] in the book of the kings
 of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|33:19  His prayer also, and [how God] was entreated of him,
 and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high
 places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold,
 they [are] written among the sayings of the seers.
   Chronicles-2|33:20  So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried
 him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|33:21  Amon [was] two and twenty years old when he began to

 reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|33:22  But he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
 LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved
 images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
   Chronicles-2|33:23  And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh
 his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
   Chronicles-2|33:24  And his servants conspired against him, and slew him
 in his own house.
   Chronicles-2|33:25  But the people of the land slew all them that had
 conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son
 king in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|34:1  Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign,
 and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.
   Chronicles-2|34:2  And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the
 LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined [neither] to
 the right hand, nor to the left.
   Chronicles-2|34:3  For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet
 young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the
 twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places,
 and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
   Chronicles-2|34:4  And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his

 presence; and the images, that [were] on high above them, he cut down; and
 the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in
 pieces, and made dust [of them], and strowed [it] upon the graves of them
 that had sacrificed unto them.
   Chronicles-2|34:5  And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their
 altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|34:6  And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh, and
 Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.
   Chronicles-2|34:7  And when he had broken down the altars and the groves,
 and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols
 throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|34:8  Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had
 purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and
 Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder,
 to repair the house of the LORD his God.
   Chronicles-2|34:9  And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they
 delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the
 Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and
 Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin;
 and they returned to Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|34:10  And they put [it] in the hand of the workmen that had

 the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen
 that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and amend the house:
   Chronicles-2|34:11  Even to the artificers and builders gave they [it],
 to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which
 the kings of Judah had destroyed.
   Chronicles-2|34:12  And the men did the work faithfully: and the
 overseers of them [were] Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of
 Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set
 [it] forward; and [other of] the Levites, all that could skill of
 instruments of music.
   Chronicles-2|34:13  Also [they were] over the bearers of burdens, and
 [were] overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and
 of the Levites [there were] scribes, and officers, and porters.
   Chronicles-2|34:14  And when they brought out the money that was brought
 into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of
 the LORD [given] by Moses.
   Chronicles-2|34:15  And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe,
 I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah
 delivered the book to Shaphan.
   Chronicles-2|34:16  And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought
 the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants,

 they do [it].
   Chronicles-2|34:17  And they have gathered together the money that was
 found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the
 overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.
   Chronicles-2|34:18  Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying,
 Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the
 king.
   Chronicles-2|34:19  And it came to pass, when the king had heard the
 words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
   Chronicles-2|34:20  And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of
 Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a
 servant of the king's, saying,
   Chronicles-2|34:21  Go, inquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are
 left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is
 found: for great [is] the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us,
 because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all
 that is written in this book.
   Chronicles-2|34:22  And Hilkiah, and [they] that the king [had
 appointed], went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of
 Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in
 Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that [effect].

   Chronicles-2|34:23  And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of
 Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,
   Chronicles-2|34:24  Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon
 this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, [even] all the curses that
 are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
   Chronicles-2|34:25  Because they have forsaken me, and have burned
 incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the
 works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this
 place, and shall not be quenched.
   Chronicles-2|34:26  And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire
 of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel
 [concerning] the words which thou hast heard;
   Chronicles-2|34:27  Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble
 thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and
 against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst
 rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard [thee] also, saith
 the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|34:28  Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou
 shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all
 the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the
 same. So they brought the king word again.

   Chronicles-2|34:29  Then the king sent and gathered together all the
 elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|34:30  And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and
 all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests,
 and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their
 ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house
 of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|34:31  And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant
 before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and
 his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his
 soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.
   Chronicles-2|34:32  And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and
 Benjamin to stand [to it]. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according
 to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
   Chronicles-2|34:33  And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all
 the countries that [pertained] to the children of Israel, and made all that
 were present in Israel to serve, [even] to serve the LORD their God. [And]
 all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their
 fathers.
   Chronicles-2|35:1  Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in
 Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the

 first month.
   Chronicles-2|35:2  And he set the priests in their charges, and
 encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,
   Chronicles-2|35:3  And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel,
 which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon
 the son of David king of Israel did build; [it shall] not [be] a burden
 upon [your] shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,
   Chronicles-2|35:4  And prepare [yourselves] by the houses of your
 fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of
 Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
   Chronicles-2|35:5  And stand in the holy [place] according to the
 divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and
 [after] the division of the families of the Levites.
   Chronicles-2|35:6  So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and
 prepare your brethren, that [they] may do according to the word of the LORD
 by the hand of Moses.
   Chronicles-2|35:7  And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and
 kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the
 number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these [were] of the
 king's substance.
   Chronicles-2|35:8  And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the

 priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of
 the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two
 thousand and six hundred [small cattle], and three hundred oxen.
   Chronicles-2|35:9  Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his
 brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave
 unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand [small cattle], and
 five hundred oxen.
   Chronicles-2|35:10  So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in
 their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's
 commandment.
   Chronicles-2|35:11  And they killed the passover, and the priests
 sprinkled [the blood] from their hands, and the Levites flayed [them].
   Chronicles-2|35:12  And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might
 give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer
 unto the LORD, as [it is] written in the book of Moses. And so [did they]
 with the oxen.
   Chronicles-2|35:13  And they roasted the passover with fire according to
 the ordinance: but the [other] holy [offerings] sod they in pots, and in
 caldrons, and in pans, and divided [them] speedily among all the people.
   Chronicles-2|35:14  And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for
 the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron [were busied] in

 offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites
 prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
   Chronicles-2|35:15  And the singers the sons of Asaph [were] in their
 place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and
 Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters [waited] at every gate; they
 might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites
 prepared for them.
   Chronicles-2|35:16  So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same
 day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of
 the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
   Chronicles-2|35:17  And the children of Israel that were present kept the
 passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
   Chronicles-2|35:18  And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel
 from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel
 keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and
 all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|35:19  In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was
 this passover kept.
   Chronicles-2|35:20  After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple,
 Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and
 Josiah went out against him.

   Chronicles-2|35:21  But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I
 to do with thee, thou king of Judah? [I come] not against thee this day,
 but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make
 haste: forbear thee from [meddling with] God, who [is] with me, that he
 destroy thee not.
   Chronicles-2|35:22  Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him,
 but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto
 the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley
 of Megiddo.
   Chronicles-2|35:23  And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king
 said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
   Chronicles-2|35:24  His servants therefore took him out of that chariot,
 and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to
 Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in [one of] the sepulchres of his
 fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
   Chronicles-2|35:25  And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing
 men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this
 day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they [are] written
 in the lamentations.
   Chronicles-2|35:26  Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness,
 according to [that which was] written in the law of the LORD,

   Chronicles-2|35:27  And his deeds, first and last, behold, they [are]
 written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
   Chronicles-2|36:1  Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of
 Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|36:2  Jehoahaz [was] twenty and three years old when he
 began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|36:3  And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and
 condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
   Chronicles-2|36:4  And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king
 over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took
 Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
   Chronicles-2|36:5  Jehoiakim [was] twenty and five years old when he
 began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did [that
 which was] evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
   Chronicles-2|36:6  Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
 and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
   Chronicles-2|36:7  Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the
 house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
   Chronicles-2|36:8  Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his
 abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they
 [are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin

 his son reigned in his stead.
   Chronicles-2|36:9  Jehoiachin [was] eight years old when he began to
 reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did
 [that which was] evil in the sight of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|36:10  And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar
 sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of
 the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|36:11  Zedekiah [was] one and twenty years old when he began
 to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|36:12  And he did [that which was] evil in the sight of the
 LORD his God, [and] humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet
 [speaking] from the mouth of the LORD.
   Chronicles-2|36:13  And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who
 had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his
 heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
   Chronicles-2|36:14  Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the
 people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen;
 and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
   Chronicles-2|36:15  And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his
 messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on
 his people, and on his dwelling place:

   Chronicles-2|36:16  But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised
 his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose
 against his people, till [there was] no remedy.
   Chronicles-2|36:17  Therefore he brought upon them the king of the
 Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their
 sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him
 that stooped for age: he gave [them] all into his hand.
   Chronicles-2|36:18  And all the vessels of the house of God, great and
 small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the
 king, and of his princes; all [these] he brought to Babylon.
   Chronicles-2|36:19  And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the
 wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and
 destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
   Chronicles-2|36:20  And them that had escaped from the sword carried he
 away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the
 reign of the kingdom of Persia:
   Chronicles-2|36:21  To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of
 Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: [for] as long as she lay
 desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
   Chronicles-2|36:22  Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that
 the word of the LORD [spoken] by the mouth of Jeremiah might be

 accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that
 he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in
 writing, saying,
   Chronicles-2|36:23  Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of
 the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to
 build him an house in Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah. Who [is there] among
 you of all his people? The LORD his God [be] with him, and let him go up.
   Ezra|1:1  Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of
 the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up
 the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout
 all his kingdom, and [put it] also in writing, saying,
   Ezra|1:2  Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath
 given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him
 an house at Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah.
   Ezra|1:3  Who [is there] among you of all his people? his God be with
 him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah, and build the
 house of the LORD God of Israel, (he [is] the God,) which [is] in
 Jerusalem.
   Ezra|1:4  And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let
 the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods,
 and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that

 [is] in Jerusalem.
   Ezra|1:5  Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin,
 and the priests, and the Levites, with all [them] whose spirit God had
 raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which [is] in Jerusalem.
   Ezra|1:6  And all they that [were] about them strengthened their hands
 with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with
 precious things, beside all [that] was willingly offered.
   Ezra|1:7  Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of
 the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had
 put them in the house of his gods;
   Ezra|1:8  Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of
 Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of
 Judah.
   Ezra|1:9  And this [is] the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a
 thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
   Ezra|1:10  Thirty basins of gold, silver basins of a second [sort] four
 hundred and ten, [and] other vessels a thousand.
   Ezra|1:11  All the vessels of gold and of silver [were] five thousand and
 four hundred. All [these] did Sheshbazzar bring up with [them of] the
 captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
   Ezra|2:1  Now these [are] the children of the province that went up out

 of the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar
 the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and came again unto
 Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city;
   Ezra|2:2  Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah,
 Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mizpar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of
 the men of the people of Israel:
   Ezra|2:3  The children of Parosh, two thousand an hundred seventy and
 two.
   Ezra|2:4  The children of Shephatiah, three hundred seventy and two.
   Ezra|2:5  The children of Arah, seven hundred seventy and five.
   Ezra|2:6  The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua [and]
 Joab, two thousand eight hundred and twelve.
   Ezra|2:7  The children of Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four.
   Ezra|2:8  The children of Zattu, nine hundred forty and five.
   Ezra|2:9  The children of Zaccai, seven hundred and threescore.
   Ezra|2:10  The children of Bani, six hundred forty and two.
   Ezra|2:11  The children of Bebai, six hundred twenty and three.
   Ezra|2:12  The children of Azgad, a thousand two hundred twenty and two.
   Ezra|2:13  The children of Adonikam, six hundred sixty and six.

   Ezra|2:43  The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of Hasupha,
 the children of Tabbaoth,
   Ezra|2:44  The children of Keros, the children of Siaha, the children of
 Padon,

   Ezra|2:45  The children of Lebanah, the children of Hagabah, the children
 of Akkub,
   Ezra|2:46  The children of Hagab, the children of Shalmai, the children
 of Hanan,
   Ezra|2:47  The children of Giddel, the children of Gahar, the children of
 Reaiah,
   Ezra|2:48  The children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda, the children of
 Gazzam,
   Ezra|2:49  The children of Uzza, the children of Paseah, the children of
 Besai,
   Ezra|2:50  The children of Asnah, the children of Mehunim, the children
 of Nephusim,
   Ezra|2:51  The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the children

   Ezra|2:52  The children of Bazluth, the children of Mehida, the children

   Ezra|2:53  The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the children

   Ezra|2:54  The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.
   Ezra|2:55  The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai, the

   Ezra|2:57  The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the
 children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Ami.
   Ezra|2:58  All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants,
 [were] three hundred ninety and two.
   Ezra|2:59  And these [were] they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa,
 Cherub, Addan, [and] Immer: but they could not show their father's house,
 and their seed, whether they [were] of Israel:
   Ezra|2:60  The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children
 of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two.
   Ezra|2:61  And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah,
 the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the
 daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:
   Ezra|2:62  These sought their register [among] those that were reckoned
 by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted,
 put from the priesthood.
   Ezra|2:63  And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of
 the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with
 Thummim.
   Ezra|2:64  The whole congregation together [was] forty and two thousand

 three hundred [and] threescore,
   Ezra|2:65  Beside their servants and their maids, of whom [there were]
 seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and [there were] among them
 two hundred singing men and singing women.
   Ezra|2:66  Their horses [were] seven hundred thirty and six; their mules,
 two hundred forty and five;
   Ezra|2:67  Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; [their] asses, six
 thousand seven hundred and twenty.
   Ezra|2:68  And [some] of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the
 house of the LORD which [is] at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of
 God to set it up in his place:
   Ezra|2:69  They gave after their ability unto the treasure of the work
 threescore and one thousand drams of gold, and five thousand pound of
 silver, and one hundred priests' garments.
   Ezra|2:70  So the priests, and the Levites, and [some] of the people, and
 the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and
 all Israel in their cities.
   Ezra|3:1  And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel
 [were] in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to
 Jerusalem.
   Ezra|3:2  Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the

 priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded
 the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as [it
 is] written in the law of Moses the man of God.
   Ezra|3:3  And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear [was] upon them
 because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings
 thereon unto the LORD, [even] burnt offerings morning and evening.
   Ezra|3:4  They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as [it is] written,
 and [offered] the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom,
 as the duty of every day required;
   Ezra|3:5  And afterward [offered] the continual burnt offering, both of
 the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated,
 and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.
   Ezra|3:6  From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer
 burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD
 was not [yet] laid.
   Ezra|3:7  They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters;
 and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to
 bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant
 that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
   Ezra|3:8  Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at
 Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and

 Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests
 and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto
 Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to
 set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
   Ezra|3:9  Then stood Jeshua [with] his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and
 his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the
 house of God: the sons of Henadad, [with] their sons and their brethren the
 Levites.
   Ezra|3:10  And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the
 LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites
 the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of
 David king of Israel.
   Ezra|3:11  And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks
 unto the LORD; because [he is] good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever
 toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they
 praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
   Ezra|3:12  But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers,
 [who were] ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation
 of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many
 shouted aloud for joy:
   Ezra|3:13  So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of

 joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted
 with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
   Ezra|4:1  Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the
 children of the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel;
   Ezra|4:2  Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers,
 and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye
 [do]; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of
 Assur, which brought us up hither.
   Ezra|4:3  But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the
 fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build
 an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD
 God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.
   Ezra|4:4  Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of
 Judah, and troubled them in building,
   Ezra|4:5  And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose,
 all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king
 of Persia.
   Ezra|4:6  And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign,
 wrote they [unto him] an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and
 Jerusalem.
   Ezra|4:7  And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath,

 Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia;
 and the writing of the letter [was] written in the Syrian tongue, and
 interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
   Ezra|4:8  Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter
 against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
   Ezra|4:9  Then [wrote] Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and
 the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the
 Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the
 Susanchites, the Dehavites, [and] the Elamites,
   Ezra|4:10  And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper
 brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest [that are] on
 this side the river, and at such a time.
   Ezra|4:11  This [is] the copy of the letter that they sent unto him,
 [even] unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the
 river, and at such a time.
   Ezra|4:12  Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from
 thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad
 city, and have set up the walls [thereof], and joined the foundations.
   Ezra|4:13  Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded,
 and the walls set up [again, then] will they not pay toll, tribute, and
 custom, and [so] thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.

   Ezra|4:14  Now because we have maintenance from [the king's] palace, and
 it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent
 and certified the king;
   Ezra|4:15  That search may be made in the book of the records of thy
 fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this
 city [is] a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that
 they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was
 this city destroyed.
   Ezra|4:16  We certify the king that, if this city be builded [again], and
 the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this
 side the river.
   Ezra|4:17  [Then] sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and
 [to] Shimshai the scribe, and [to] the rest of their companions that dwell
 in Samaria, and [unto] the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a
 time.
   Ezra|4:18  The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before
 me.
   Ezra|4:19  And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found
 that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and [that]
 rebellion and sedition have been made therein.
   Ezra|4:20  There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have

 ruled over all [countries] beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom,
 was paid unto them.
   Ezra|4:21  Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that
 this city be not builded, until [another] commandment shall be given from
 me.
   Ezra|4:22  Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage
 grow to the hurt of the kings?
   Ezra|4:23  Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter [was] read before
 Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste
 to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
   Ezra|4:24  Then ceased the work of the house of God which [is] at
 Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of
 Persia.
   Ezra|5:1  Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of
 Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that [were] in Judah and Jerusalem in the
 name of the God of Israel, [even] unto them.
   Ezra|5:2  Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the
 son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which [is] at
 Jerusalem: and with them [were] the prophets of God helping them.
   Ezra|5:3  At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the
 river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them,

 Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
   Ezra|5:4  Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of
 the men that make this building?
   Ezra|5:5  But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that
 they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and
 then they returned answer by letter concerning this [matter].
   Ezra|5:6  The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the
 river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which
 [were] on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
   Ezra|5:7  They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto
 Darius the king, all peace.
   Ezra|5:8  Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of
 Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones,
 and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and
 prospereth in their hands.
   Ezra|5:9  Then asked we those elders, [and] said unto them thus, Who
 commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?
   Ezra|5:10  We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might
 write the names of the men that [were] the chief of them.
   Ezra|5:11  And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants
 of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these

 many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.
   Ezra|5:12  But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto
 wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon,
 the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into
 Babylon.
   Ezra|5:13  But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon [the same]
 king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.
   Ezra|5:14  And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God,
 which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that [was] in Jerusalem, and
 brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out
 of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto [one], whose name
 [was] Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
   Ezra|5:15  And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the
 temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his
 place.
   Ezra|5:16  Then came the same Sheshbazzar, [and] laid the foundation of
 the house of God which [is] in Jerusalem: and since that time even until
 now hath it been in building, and [yet] it is not finished.
   Ezra|5:17  Now therefore, if [it seem] good to the king, let there be
 search made in the king's treasure house, which [is] there at Babylon,
 whether it be [so], that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this

 house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us
 concerning this matter.
   Ezra|6:1  Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the
 house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
   Ezra|6:2  And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that [is] in the
 province of the Medes, a roll, and therein [was] a record thus written:
   Ezra|6:3  In the first year of Cyrus the king [the same] Cyrus the king
 made a decree [concerning] the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be
 builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations
 thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, [and] the
 breadth thereof threescore cubits;
   Ezra|6:4  [With] three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and
 let the expenses be given out of the king's house:
   Ezra|6:5  And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God,
 which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which [is] at Jerusalem,
 and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple
 which [is] at Jerusalem, [every one] to his place, and place [them] in the
 house of God.
   Ezra|6:6  Now [therefore], Tatnai, governor beyond the river,
 Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which [are] beyond
 the river, be ye far from thence:

   Ezra|6:7  Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of
 the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.
   Ezra|6:8  Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of
 these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods,
 [even] of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto
 these men, that they be not hindered.
   Ezra|6:9  And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and
 rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt,
 wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which [are] at
 Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
   Ezra|6:10  That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God
 of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
   Ezra|6:11  Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this
 word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him
 be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
   Ezra|6:12  And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy
 all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter [and] to
 destroy this house of God which [is] at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a
 decree; let it be done with speed.
   Ezra|6:13  Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai,
 and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so

 they did speedily.
   Ezra|6:14  And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through
 the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And
 they builded, and finished [it], according to the commandment of the God of
 Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and
 Artaxerxes king of Persia.
   Ezra|6:15  And this house was finished on the third day of the month
 Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
   Ezra|6:16  And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and
 the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this
 house of God with joy,
   Ezra|6:17  And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred
 bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for
 all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of
 Israel.
   Ezra|6:18  And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites
 in their courses, for the service of God, which [is] at Jerusalem; as it is
 written in the book of Moses.
   Ezra|6:19  And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the
 fourteenth [day] of the first month.
   Ezra|6:20  For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of

 them [were] pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the
 captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
   Ezra|6:21  And the children of Israel, which were come again out of
 captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the
 filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did
 eat,
   Ezra|6:22  And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy:
 for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of
 Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of
 God, the God of Israel.
   Ezra|7:1  Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of
 Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
   Ezra|7:2  The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
   Ezra|7:3  The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
   Ezra|7:4  The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
   Ezra|7:5  The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar,
 the son of Aaron the chief priest:
   Ezra|7:6  This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he [was] a ready scribe in
 the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king
 granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon
 him.

   Ezra|7:7  And there went up [some] of the children of Israel, and of the
 priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the
 Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
   Ezra|7:8  And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which [was] in the
 seventh year of the king.
   Ezra|7:9  For upon the first [day] of the first month began he to go up
 from Babylon, and on the first [day] of the fifth month came he to
 Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
   Ezra|7:10  For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD,
 and to do [it], and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
   Ezra|7:11  Now this [is] the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes
 gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, [even] a scribe of the words of the
 commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel.
   Ezra|7:12  Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of
 the law of the God of heaven, perfect [peace], and at such a time.
   Ezra|7:13  I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and
 [of] his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own
 freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.
   Ezra|7:14  Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven
 counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the
 law of thy God which [is] in thine hand;

   Ezra|7:15  And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his
 counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation
 [is] in Jerusalem,
   Ezra|7:16  And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the
 province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the
 priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which [is] in
 Jerusalem:
   Ezra|7:17  That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams,
 lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them
 upon the altar of the house of your God which [is] in Jerusalem.
   Ezra|7:18  And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren,
 to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of
 your God.
   Ezra|7:19  The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the
 house of thy God, [those] deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
   Ezra|7:20  And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God,
 which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow [it] out of the king's
 treasure house.
   Ezra|7:21  And I, [even] I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all
 the treasurers which [are] beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the
 priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you,

 it be done speedily,
   Ezra|7:22  Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures
 of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil,
 and salt without prescribing [how much].
   Ezra|7:23  Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be
 diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be
 wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
   Ezra|7:24  Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and
 Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it
 shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
   Ezra|7:25  And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that [is] in
 thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that
 [are] beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye
 them that know [them] not.
   Ezra|7:26  And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of
 the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether [it be] unto
 death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
   Ezra|7:27  Blessed [be] the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put [such
 a thing] as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD
 which [is] in Jerusalem:
   Ezra|7:28  And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his

 counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was
 strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God [was] upon me, and I gathered
 together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
   Ezra|8:1  These [are] now the chief of their fathers, and [this is] the
 genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of
 Artaxerxes the king.
   Ezra|8:2  Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar;
 Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.
   Ezra|8:3  Of the sons of Shechaniah, of the sons of Pharosh; Zechariah:
 and with him were reckoned by genealogy of the males an hundred and fifty.
   Ezra|8:4  Of the sons of Pahathmoab; Elihoenai the son of Zerahiah, and
 with him two hundred males.
   Ezra|8:5  Of the sons of Shechaniah; the son of Jahaziel, and with him
 three hundred males.
   Ezra|8:6  Of the sons also of Adin; Ebed the son of Jonathan, and with
 him fifty males.
   Ezra|8:7  And of the sons of Elam; Jeshaiah the son of Athaliah, and with
 him seventy males.
   Ezra|8:8  And of the sons of Shephatiah; Zebadiah the son of Michael, and
 with him fourscore males.
   Ezra|8:9  Of the sons of Joab; Obadiah the son of Jehiel, and with him

 two hundred and eighteen males.
   Ezra|8:10  And of the sons of Shelomith; the son of Josiphiah, and with
 him an hundred and threescore males.
   Ezra|8:11  And of the sons of Bebai; Zechariah the son of Bebai, and with
 him twenty and eight males.
   Ezra|8:12  And of the sons of Azgad; Johanan the son of Hakkatan, and
 with him an hundred and ten males.
   Ezra|8:13  And of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names [are] these,
 Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them threescore males.
   Ezra|8:14  Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them
 seventy males.
   Ezra|8:15  And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to
 Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and
 the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
   Ezra|8:16  Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for
 Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for
 Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for
 Elnathan, men of understanding.
   Ezra|8:17  And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the
 place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, [and] to
 his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring

 unto us ministers for the house of our God.
   Ezra|8:18  And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man
 of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel;
 and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
   Ezra|8:19  And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari,
 his brethren and their sons, twenty;
   Ezra|8:20  Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had
 appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims:
 all of them were expressed by name.
   Ezra|8:21  Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we
 might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us,
 and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
   Ezra|8:22  For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers
 and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken
 unto the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all them for good that
 seek him; but his power and his wrath [is] against all them that forsake
 him.
   Ezra|8:23  So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was
 entreated of us.
   Ezra|8:24  Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests,
 Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

   Ezra|8:25  And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the
 vessels, [even] the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and
 his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel [there] present, had
 offered:
   Ezra|8:26  I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents
 of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, [and] of gold an hundred
 talents;
   Ezra|8:27  Also twenty basins of gold, of a thousand drams; and two
 vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.
   Ezra|8:28  And I said unto them, Ye [are] holy unto the LORD; the vessels
 [are] holy also; and the silver and the gold [are] a freewill offering unto
 the LORD God of your fathers.
   Ezra|8:29  Watch ye, and keep [them], until ye weigh [them] before the
 chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel,
 at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.
   Ezra|8:30  So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver,
 and the gold, and the vessels, to bring [them] to Jerusalem unto the house
 of our God.
   Ezra|8:31  Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth [day]
 of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon
 us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in

 wait by the way.
   Ezra|8:32  And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
   Ezra|8:33  Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the
 vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of
 Uriah the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with
 them [was] Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui,
 Levites;
   Ezra|8:34  By number [and] by weight of every one: and all the weight was
 written at that time.
   Ezra|8:35  [Also] the children of those that had been carried away, which
 were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of
 Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and
 seven lambs, twelve he goats [for] a sin offering: all [this was] a burnt
 offering unto the LORD.
   Ezra|8:36  And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's
 lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they
 furthered the people, and the house of God.
   Ezra|9:1  Now when these things were done, the princes came to me,
 saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not
 separated themselves from the people of the lands, [doing] according to
 their abominations, [even] of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites,

 the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the
 Amorites.
   Ezra|9:2  For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for
 their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people
 of [those] lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief
 in this trespass.
   Ezra|9:3  And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle,
 and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.
   Ezra|9:4  Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the
 words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had
 been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.
   Ezra|9:5  And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and
 having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out
 my hands unto the LORD my God,
   Ezra|9:6  And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face
 to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over [our] head, and our
 trespass is grown up unto the heavens.
   Ezra|9:7  Since the days of our fathers [have] we [been] in a great
 trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, [and]
 our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the
 sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as [it is]

 this day.
   Ezra|9:8  And now for a little space grace hath been [showed] from the
 LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his
 holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little
 reviving in our bondage.
   Ezra|9:9  For we [were] bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our
 bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of
 Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to
 repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in
 Jerusalem.
   Ezra|9:10  And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have
 forsaken thy commandments,
   Ezra|9:11  Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets,
 saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with
 the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which
 have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
   Ezra|9:12  Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither
 take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth
 for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave
 [it] for an inheritance to your children for ever.
   Ezra|9:13  And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for

 our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our
 iniquities [deserve], and hast given us [such] deliverance as this;
   Ezra|9:14  Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity
 with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us
 till thou hadst consumed [us], so that [there should be] no remnant nor
 escaping?
   Ezra|9:15  O LORD God of Israel, thou [art] righteous: for we remain yet
 escaped, as [it is] this day: behold, we [are] before thee in our
 trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
   Ezra|10:1  Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping
 and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him
 out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for
 the people wept very sore.
   Ezra|10:2  And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, [one] of the sons of Elam,
 answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have
 taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in
 Israel concerning this thing.
   Ezra|10:3  Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away
 all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my
 lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it
 be done according to the law.

   Ezra|10:4  Arise; for [this] matter [belongeth] unto thee: we also [will
 be] with thee: be of good courage, and do [it].
   Ezra|10:5  Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and
 all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they
 sware.
   Ezra|10:6  Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into
 the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and [when] he came thither, he
 did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the
 transgression of them that had been carried away.
   Ezra|10:7  And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto
 all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves
 together unto Jerusalem;
   Ezra|10:8  And that whosoever would not come within three days, according
 to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be
 forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had
 been carried away.
   Ezra|10:9  Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves
 together unto Jerusalem within three days. It [was] the ninth month, on the
 twentieth [day] of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the
 house of God, trembling because of [this] matter, and for the great rain.
   Ezra|10:10  And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have

 transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of
 Israel.
   Ezra|10:11  Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your
 fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of
 the land, and from the strange wives.
   Ezra|10:12  Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud
 voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
   Ezra|10:13  But the people [are] many, and [it is] a time of much rain,
 and we are not able to stand without, neither [is this] a work of one day
 or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
   Ezra|10:14  Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all
 them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times,
 and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the
 fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
   Ezra|10:15  Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of
 Tikvah were employed about this [matter]: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the
 Levite helped them.
   Ezra|10:16  And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the
 priest, [with] certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their
 fathers, and all of them by [their] names, were separated, and sat down in
 the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.

   Ezra|10:17  And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange
 wives by the first day of the first month.
   Ezra|10:18  And among the sons of the priests there were found that had
 taken strange wives: [namely], of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak,
 and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
   Ezra|10:19  And they gave their hands that they would put away their
 wives; and [being] guilty, [they offered] a ram of the flock for their
 trespass.
   Ezra|10:20  And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah.
   Ezra|10:21  And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah,
 and Jehiel, and Uzziah.
   Ezra|10:22  And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael,
 Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah.
   Ezra|10:23  Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the
 same [is] Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
   Ezra|10:24  Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum,
 and Telem, and Uri.
   Ezra|10:25  Moreover of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and
 Jeziah, and Malchiah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.
   Ezra|10:26  And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel,
 and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah.

   Ezra|10:27  And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and
 Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza.
   Ezra|10:28  Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, [and]
 Athlai.
   Ezra|10:29  And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah,
 Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth.
   Ezra|10:30  And of the sons of Pahathmoab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah,
 Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh.
   Ezra|10:31  And [of] the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah,
 Shemaiah, Shimeon,
   Ezra|10:32  Benjamin, Malluch, [and] Shemariah.
   Ezra|10:33  Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet,
 Jeremai, Manasseh, [and] Shimei.
   Ezra|10:34  Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel,
   Ezra|10:35  Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh,
   Ezra|10:36  Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,
   Ezra|10:37  Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau,
   Ezra|10:38  And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei,
   Ezra|10:39  And Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,
   Ezra|10:40  Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai,
   Ezra|10:41  Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,

   Ezra|10:42  Shallum, Amariah, [and] Joseph.
   Ezra|10:43  Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau,
 and Joel, Benaiah.
   Ezra|10:44  All these had taken strange wives: and [some] of them had
 wives by whom they had children.
   Nehemiah|1:1  The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to
 pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the
 palace,
   Nehemiah|1:2  That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and [certain] men
 of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were
 left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
   Nehemiah|1:3  And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the
 captivity there in the province [are] in great affliction and reproach: the
 wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, and the gates thereof are burned
 with fire.
   Nehemiah|1:4  And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat
 down and wept, and mourned [certain] days, and fasted, and prayed before
 the God of heaven,
   Nehemiah|1:5  And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great
 and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him
 and observe his commandments:

   Nehemiah|1:6  Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that
 thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now,
 day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the
 sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I
 and my father's house have sinned.
   Nehemiah|1:7  We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not
 kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou
 commandedst thy servant Moses.
   Nehemiah|1:8  Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst
 thy servant Moses, saying, [If] ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad
 among the nations:
   Nehemiah|1:9  But [if] ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do
 them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the
 heaven, [yet] will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the
 place that I have chosen to set my name there.
   Nehemiah|1:10  Now these [are] thy servants and thy people, whom thou
 hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
   Nehemiah|1:11  O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to
 the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to
 fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant
 him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.

   Nehemiah|2:1  And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth
 year of Artaxerxes the king, [that] wine [was] before him: and I took up
 the wine, and gave [it] unto the king. Now I had not been [beforetime] sad
 in his presence.
   Nehemiah|2:2  Wherefore the king said unto me, Why [is] thy countenance
 sad, seeing thou [art] not sick? this [is] nothing [else] but sorrow of
 heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
   Nehemiah|2:3  And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why
 should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers'
 sepulchres, [lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
   Nehemiah|2:4  Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make
 request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
   Nehemiah|2:5  And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy
 servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto
 Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
   Nehemiah|2:6  And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,)
 For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased
 the king to send me; and I set him a time.
   Nehemiah|2:7  Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let
 letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey
 me over till I come into Judah;

   Nehemiah|2:8  And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest,
 that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which
 [appertained] to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house
 that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good
 hand of my God upon me.
   Nehemiah|2:9  Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave
 them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and
 horsemen with me.
   Nehemiah|2:10  When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the
 Ammonite, heard [of it], it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a
 man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
   Nehemiah|2:11  So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
   Nehemiah|2:12  And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me;
 neither told I [any] man what my God had put in my heart to do at
 Jerusalem: neither [was there any] beast with me, save the beast that I
 rode upon.
   Nehemiah|2:13  And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even
 before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of
 Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with
 fire.
   Nehemiah|2:14  Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the

 king's pool: but [there was] no place for the beast [that was] under me to
 pass.
   Nehemiah|2:15  Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the
 wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and [so]
 returned.
   Nehemiah|2:16  And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did;
 neither had I as yet told [it] to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the
 nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
   Nehemiah|2:17  Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we [are]
 in, how Jerusalem [lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are burned with
 fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a
 reproach.
   Nehemiah|2:18  Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon
 me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let
 us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for [this] good
 [work].
   Nehemiah|2:19  But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant,
 the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard [it], they laughed us to scorn,
 and despised us, and said, What [is] this thing that ye do? will ye rebel
 against the king?
   Nehemiah|2:20  Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of

 heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build:
 but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
   Nehemiah|3:1  Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the
 priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up
 the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the
 tower of Hananeel.
   Nehemiah|3:2  And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to
 them builded Zaccur the son of Imri.
   Nehemiah|3:3  But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who
 [also] laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks
 thereof, and the bars thereof.
   Nehemiah|3:4  And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the
 son of Koz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the
 son of Meshezabeel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana.
   Nehemiah|3:5  And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles
 put not their necks to the work of their Lord.
   Nehemiah|3:6  Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah,
 and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up
 the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.
   Nehemiah|3:7  And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and
 Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of

 the governor on this side the river.
   Nehemiah|3:8  Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the
 goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of [one of] the
 apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.
   Nehemiah|3:9  And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the
 ruler of the half part of Jerusalem.
   Nehemiah|3:10  And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph,
 even over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of
 Hashabniah.
   Nehemiah|3:11  Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of
 Pahathmoab, repaired the other piece, and the tower of the furnaces.
   Nehemiah|3:12  And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh,
 the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters.
   Nehemiah|3:13  The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of
 Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and
 the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall unto the dung gate.
   Nehemiah|3:14  But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the
 ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof,
 the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.
   Nehemiah|3:15  But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of
 Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set

 up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall
 of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go
 down from the city of David.
   Nehemiah|3:16  After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of
 the half part of Bethzur, unto [the place] over against the sepulchres of
 David, and to the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty.
   Nehemiah|3:17  After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani.
 Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in
 his part.
   Nehemiah|3:18  After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of
 Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah.
   Nehemiah|3:19  And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler
 of Mizpah, another piece over against the going up to the armoury at the
 turning [of the wall].
   Nehemiah|3:20  After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the
 other piece, from the turning [of the wall] unto the door of the house of
 Eliashib the high priest.
   Nehemiah|3:21  After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of
 Koz another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end
 of the house of Eliashib.
   Nehemiah|3:22  And after him repaired the priests, the men of the plain.

   Nehemiah|3:23  After him repaired Benjamin and Hashub over against their
 house. After him repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah by
 his house.
   Nehemiah|3:24  After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another
 piece, from the house of Azariah unto the turning [of the wall], even unto
 the corner.
   Nehemiah|3:25  Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning [of the
 wall], and the tower which lieth out from the king's high house, that [was]
 by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh.
   Nehemiah|3:26  Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto [the place]
 over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out.
   Nehemiah|3:27  After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over
 against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel.
   Nehemiah|3:28  From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one
 over against his house.
   Nehemiah|3:29  After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against
 his house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the

 Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, another piece. After him repaired Meshullam
 the son of Berechiah over against his chamber.

   Nehemiah|3:31  After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith's son unto the
 place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the gate
 Miphkad, and to the going up of the corner.
   Nehemiah|3:32  And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate
 repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants.
   Nehemiah|4:1  But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we
 builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the
 Jews.
   Nehemiah|4:2  And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria,
 and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will
 they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones
 out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
   Nehemiah|4:3  Now Tobiah the Ammonite [was] by him, and he said, Even
 that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone
 wall.
   Nehemiah|4:4  Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their
 reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of
 captivity:
   Nehemiah|4:5  And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be
 blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked [thee] to anger before
 the builders.

   Nehemiah|4:6  So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together
 unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
   Nehemiah|4:7  But it came to pass, [that] when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and
 the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls
 of Jerusalem were made up, [and] that the breaches began to be stopped,
 then they were very wroth,
   Nehemiah|4:8  And conspired all of them together to come [and] to fight
 against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
   Nehemiah|4:9  Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a
 watch against them day and night, because of them.
   Nehemiah|4:10  And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is
 decayed, and [there is] much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the
 wall.
   Nehemiah|4:11  And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither
 see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the
 work to cease.
   Nehemiah|4:12  And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by
 them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall
 return unto us [they will be upon you].
   Nehemiah|4:13  Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, [and]
 on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their

 swords, their spears, and their bows.
   Nehemiah|4:14  And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and
 to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them:
 remember the Lord, [which is] great and terrible, and fight for your
 brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
   Nehemiah|4:15  And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was
 known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we
 returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
   Nehemiah|4:16  And it came to pass from that time forth, [that] the half
 of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both
 the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers
 [were] behind all the house of Judah.
   Nehemiah|4:17  They which builded on the wall, and they that bare
 burdens, with those that laded, [every one] with one of his hands wrought
 in the work, and with the other [hand] held a weapon.
   Nehemiah|4:18  For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his
 side, and [so] builded. And he that sounded the trumpet [was] by me.
   Nehemiah|4:19  And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the
 rest of the people, The work [is] great and large, and we are separated
 upon the wall, one far from another.
   Nehemiah|4:20  In what place [therefore] ye hear the sound of the

 trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
   Nehemiah|4:21  So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the
 spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
   Nehemiah|4:22  Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let
 every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they
 may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
   Nehemiah|4:23  So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the
 men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, [saving
 that] every one put them off for washing.
   Nehemiah|5:1  And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives
 against their brethren the Jews.
   Nehemiah|5:2  For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters,
 [are] many: therefore we take up corn [for them], that we may eat, and
 live.
   Nehemiah|5:3  [Some] also there were that said, We have mortgaged our
 lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the
 dearth.
   Nehemiah|5:4  There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the
 king's tribute, [and that upon] our lands and vineyards.
   Nehemiah|5:5  Yet now our flesh [is] as the flesh of our brethren, our
 children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our

 daughters to be servants, and [some] of our daughters are brought unto
 bondage [already]: neither [is it] in our power [to redeem them]; for other
 men have our lands and vineyards.
   Nehemiah|5:6  And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these
 words.
   Nehemiah|5:7  Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and
 the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother.
 And I set a great assembly against them.
   Nehemiah|5:8  And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed
 our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even
 sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their
 peace, and found nothing [to answer].
   Nehemiah|5:9  Also I said, It [is] not good that ye do: ought ye not to
 walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our
 enemies?
   Nehemiah|5:10  I likewise, [and] my brethren, and my servants, might
 exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
   Nehemiah|5:11  Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands,
 their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth
 [part] of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact
 of them.

   Nehemiah|5:12  Then said they, We will restore [them], and will require
 nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests,
 and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
   Nehemiah|5:13  Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man
 from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even
 thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen,
 and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
   Nehemiah|5:14  Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their
 governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two
 and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, [that is], twelve years, I and
 my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
   Nehemiah|5:15  But the former governors that [had been] before me were
 chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside
 forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the
 people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
   Nehemiah|5:16  Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither
 bought we any land: and all my servants [were] gathered thither unto the
 work.
   Nehemiah|5:17  Moreover [there were] at my table an hundred and fifty of
 the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen
 that [are] about us.

   Nehemiah|5:18  Now [that] which was prepared [for me] daily [was] one ox
 [and] six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten
 days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread
 of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
   Nehemiah|5:19  Think upon me, my God, for good, [according] to all that I
 have done for this people.
   Nehemiah|6:1  Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem
 the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the
 wall, and [that] there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I
 had not set up the doors upon the gates;)
   Nehemiah|6:2  That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let
 us meet together in [some one of] the villages in the plain of Ono. But
 they thought to do me mischief.
   Nehemiah|6:3  And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I [am] doing a
 great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I
 leave it, and come down to you?
   Nehemiah|6:4  Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I
 answered them after the same manner.
   Nehemiah|6:5  Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the
 fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
   Nehemiah|6:6  Wherein [was] written, It is reported among the heathen,

 and Gashmu saith [it, that] thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which
 cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to
 these words.
   Nehemiah|6:7  And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at
 Jerusalem, saying, [There is] a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported
 to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take
 counsel together.
   Nehemiah|6:8  Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done
 as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
   Nehemiah|6:9  For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be
 weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, [O God],
 strengthen my hands.
   Nehemiah|6:10  Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of
 Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who [was] shut up; and he said, Let us meet
 together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors
 of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they
 come to slay thee.
   Nehemiah|6:11  And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who [is
 there], that, [being] as I [am], would go into the temple to save his life?
 I will not go in.
   Nehemiah|6:12  And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that

 he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired
 him.
   Nehemiah|6:13  Therefore [was] he hired, that I should be afraid, and do
 so, and sin, and [that] they might have [matter] for an evil report, that
 they might reproach me.
   Nehemiah|6:14  My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to
 these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the
 prophets, that would have put me in fear.
   Nehemiah|6:15  So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of
 [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.
   Nehemiah|6:16  And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard
 [thereof], and all the heathen that [were] about us saw [these things],
 they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this
 work was wrought of our God.
   Nehemiah|6:17  Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many
 letters unto Tobiah, and [the letters] of Tobiah came unto them.
   Nehemiah|6:18  For [there were] many in Judah sworn unto him, because he
 [was] the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had
 taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
   Nehemiah|6:19  Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered
 my words to him. [And] Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

   Nehemiah|7:1  Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set
 up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were
 appointed,
   Nehemiah|7:2  That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of
 the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he [was] a faithful man, and feared
 God above many.
   Nehemiah|7:3  And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be
 opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the
 doors, and bar [them]: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
 every one in his watch, and every one [to be] over against his house.
   Nehemiah|7:4  Now the city [was] large and great: but the people [were]
 few therein, and the houses [were] not builded.
   Nehemiah|7:5  And my God put into mine heart to gather together the
 nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by
 genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at
 the first, and found written therein,
   Nehemiah|7:6  These [are] the children of the province, that went up out
 of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar
 the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to
 Judah, every one unto his city;
   Nehemiah|7:7  Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah,

 Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The
 number, [I say], of the men of the people of Israel [was this];

 two.

 hundred forty and three.

   Nehemiah|7:31  The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two.
   Nehemiah|7:32  The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty and three.
   Nehemiah|7:33  The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.
   Nehemiah|7:34  The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred
 fifty and four.
   Nehemiah|7:35  The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty.
   Nehemiah|7:36  The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five.
   Nehemiah|7:37  The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty
 and one.
   Nehemiah|7:38  The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and

 thirty.
   Nehemiah|7:39  The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of
 Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.
   Nehemiah|7:40  The children of Immer, a thousand fifty and two.
   Nehemiah|7:41  The children of Pashur, a thousand two hundred forty and
 seven.
   Nehemiah|7:42  The children of Harim, a thousand and seventeen.
   Nehemiah|7:43  The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, [and] of
 the children of Hodevah, seventy and four.
   Nehemiah|7:44  The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred forty and
 eight.
   Nehemiah|7:45  The porters: the children of Shallum, the children of
 Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of
 Hatita, the children of Shobai, an hundred thirty and eight.
   Nehemiah|7:46  The Nethinims: the children of Ziha, the children of
 Hashupha, the children of Tabbaoth,
   Nehemiah|7:47  The children of Keros, the children of Sia, the children
 of Padon,
   Nehemiah|7:48  The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the
 children of Shalmai,
   Nehemiah|7:49  The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the

 children of Gahar,
   Nehemiah|7:50  The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the
 children of Nekoda,
   Nehemiah|7:51  The children of Gazzam, the children of Uzza, the children
 of Phaseah,
   Nehemiah|7:52  The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the
 children of Nephishesim,
   Nehemiah|7:53  The children of Bakbuk, the children of Hakupha, the
 children of Harhur,
   Nehemiah|7:54  The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the
 children of Harsha,
   Nehemiah|7:55  The children of Barkos, the children of Sisera, the
 children of Tamah,
   Nehemiah|7:56  The children of Neziah, the children of Hatipha.
   Nehemiah|7:57  The children of Solomon's servants: the children of Sotai,
 the children of Sophereth, the children of Perida,
   Nehemiah|7:58  The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the
 children of Giddel,
   Nehemiah|7:59  The children of Shephatiah, the children of Hattil, the
 children of Pochereth of Zebaim, the children of Amon.
   Nehemiah|7:60  All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants,

 [were] three hundred ninety and two.
   Nehemiah|7:61  And these [were] they which went up [also] from Telmelah,
 Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not show their
 father's house, nor their seed, whether they [were] of Israel.
   Nehemiah|7:62  The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the
 children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.
   Nehemiah|7:63  And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children
 of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took [one] of the daughters of
 Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name.
   Nehemiah|7:64  These sought their register [among] those that were
 reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as
 polluted, put from the priesthood.
   Nehemiah|7:65  And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat
 of the most holy things, till there stood [up] a priest with Urim and
 Thummim.
   Nehemiah|7:66  The whole congregation together [was] forty and two
 thousand three hundred and threescore,
   Nehemiah|7:67  Beside their manservants and their maidservants, of whom
 [there were] seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had
 two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.
   Nehemiah|7:68  Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules,

 two hundred forty and five:
   Nehemiah|7:69  [Their] camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand
 seven hundred and twenty asses.
   Nehemiah|7:70  And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work.
 The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty basins,
 five hundred and thirty priests' garments.
   Nehemiah|7:71  And [some] of the chief of the fathers gave to the
 treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and
 two hundred pound of silver.
   Nehemiah|7:72  And [that] which the rest of the people gave [was] twenty
 thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore
 and seven priests' garments.
   Nehemiah|7:73  So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the
 singers, and [some] of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt
 in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel
 [were] in their cities.
   Nehemiah|8:1  And all the people gathered themselves together as one man
 into the street that [was] before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra
 the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had
 commanded to Israel.
   Nehemiah|8:2  And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation

 both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the
 first day of the seventh month.
   Nehemiah|8:3  And he read therein before the street that [was] before the
 water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and
 those that could understand; and the ears of all the people [were
 attentive] unto the book of the law.
   Nehemiah|8:4  And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they
 had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and
 Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on
 his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and
 Hashbadana, Zechariah, [and] Meshullam.
   Nehemiah|8:5  And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people;
 (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people
 stood up:
   Nehemiah|8:6  And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the
 people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed
 their heads, and worshipped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground.
   Nehemiah|8:7  Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub,
 Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah,
 and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people
 [stood] in their place.

   Nehemiah|8:8  So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and
 gave the sense, and caused [them] to understand the reading.
   Nehemiah|8:9  And Nehemiah, which [is] the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest
 the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the
 people, This day [is] holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For
 all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
   Nehemiah|8:10  Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and
 drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared:
 for [this] day [is] holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of
 the LORD is your strength.
   Nehemiah|8:11  So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your
 peace, for the day [is] holy; neither be ye grieved.
   Nehemiah|8:12  And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink,
 and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood
 the words that were declared unto them.
   Nehemiah|8:13  And on the second day were gathered together the chief of
 the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the
 scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
   Nehemiah|8:14  And they found written in the law which the LORD had
 commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in
 the feast of the seventh month:

   Nehemiah|8:15  And that they should publish and proclaim in all their
 cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive
 branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and
 branches of thick trees, to make booths, as [it is] written.
   Nehemiah|8:16  So the people went forth, and brought [them], and made
 themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their
 courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the
 water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
   Nehemiah|8:17  And all the congregation of them that were come again out
 of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days
 of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done
 so. And there was very great gladness.
   Nehemiah|8:18  Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he
 read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and
 on the eighth day [was] a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
   Nehemiah|9:1  Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children
 of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon
 them.
   Nehemiah|9:2  And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all
 strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their
 fathers.

   Nehemiah|9:3  And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of
 the law of the LORD their God [one] fourth part of the day; and [another]
 fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.
   Nehemiah|9:4  Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and
 Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, [and] Chenani, and cried
 with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.
   Nehemiah|9:5  Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah,
 Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, [and] Pethahiah, said, Stand up [and] bless
 the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name,
 which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
   Nehemiah|9:6  Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD alone; thou hast made heaven,
 the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all [things]
 that [are] therein, the seas, and all that [is] therein, and thou
 preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
   Nehemiah|9:7  Thou [art] the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and
 broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of
 Abraham;
   Nehemiah|9:8  And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a
 covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the
 Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to
 give [it, I say], to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou [art]

 righteous:
   Nehemiah|9:9  And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and
 heardest their cry by the Red sea;
   Nehemiah|9:10  And showedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all
 his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they
 dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as [it is] this
 day.
   Nehemiah|9:11  And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they
 went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors
 thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
   Nehemiah|9:12  Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar;
 and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein
 they should go.
   Nehemiah|9:13  Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with
 them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good
 statutes and commandments:
   Nehemiah|9:14  And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and
 commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy
 servant:
   Nehemiah|9:15  And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and
 broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and

 promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst
 sworn to give them.
   Nehemiah|9:16  But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their
 necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
   Nehemiah|9:17  And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders
 that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their
 rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou [art] a
 God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great
 kindness, and forsookest them not.
   Nehemiah|9:18  Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This
 [is] thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great
 provocations;
   Nehemiah|9:19  Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in
 the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to
 lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them
 light, and the way wherein they should go.
   Nehemiah|9:20  Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and
 withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their
 thirst.
   Nehemiah|9:21  Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the
 wilderness, [so that] they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and

 their feet swelled not.
   Nehemiah|9:22  Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst
 divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land
 of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
   Nehemiah|9:23  Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of
 heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst
 promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess [it].
   Nehemiah|9:24  So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou
 subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and
 gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land,
 that they might do with them as they would.
   Nehemiah|9:25  And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed
 houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and
 fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat,
 and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
   Nehemiah|9:26  Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against
 thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which
 testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great
 provocations.
   Nehemiah|9:27  Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their
 enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried

 unto thee, thou heardest [them] from heaven; and according to thy manifold
 mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their
 enemies.
   Nehemiah|9:28  But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee:
 therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had
 the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou
 heardest [them] from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them
 according to thy mercies;
   Nehemiah|9:29  And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring
 them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy
 commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he
 shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck,
 and would not hear.
   Nehemiah|9:30  Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst
 against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear:
 therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
   Nehemiah|9:31  Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not
 utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou [art] a gracious and
 merciful God.
   Nehemiah|9:32  Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the
 terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem

 little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes,
 and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy
 people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
   Nehemiah|9:33  Howbeit thou [art] just in all that is brought upon us;
 for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
   Nehemiah|9:34  Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our
 fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy
 testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.
   Nehemiah|9:35  For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy
 great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which
 thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
   Nehemiah|9:36  Behold, we [are] servants this day, and [for] the land
 that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good
 thereof, behold, we [are] servants in it:
   Nehemiah|9:37  And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou
 hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our
 bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we [are] in great
 distress.
   Nehemiah|9:38  And because of all this we make a sure [covenant], and
 write [it]; and our princes, Levites, [and] priests, seal [unto it].
   Nehemiah|10:1  Now those that sealed [were], Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the

 son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah,
   Nehemiah|10:2  Seraiah, Azariah, Jeremiah,
   Nehemiah|10:3  Pashur, Amariah, Malchijah,
   Nehemiah|10:4  Hattush, Shebaniah, Malluch,
   Nehemiah|10:5  Harim, Meremoth, Obadiah,
   Nehemiah|10:6  Daniel, Ginnethon, Baruch,
   Nehemiah|10:7  Meshullam, Abijah, Mijamin,
   Nehemiah|10:8  Maaziah, Bilgai, Shemaiah: these [were] the priests.
   Nehemiah|10:9  And the Levites: both Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of
 the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel;
   Nehemiah|10:10  And their brethren, Shebaniah, Hodijah, Kelita, Pelaiah,
 Hanan,
   Nehemiah|10:11  Micha, Rehob, Hashabiah,
   Nehemiah|10:12  Zaccur, Sherebiah, Shebaniah,
   Nehemiah|10:13  Hodijah, Bani, Beninu.
   Nehemiah|10:14  The chief of the people; Parosh, Pahathmoab, Elam,
 Zatthu, Bani,
   Nehemiah|10:15  Bunni, Azgad, Bebai,
   Nehemiah|10:16  Adonijah, Bigvai, Adin,
   Nehemiah|10:17  Ater, Hizkijah, Azzur,
   Nehemiah|10:18  Hodijah, Hashum, Bezai,

   Nehemiah|10:19  Hariph, Anathoth, Nebai,
   Nehemiah|10:20  Magpiash, Meshullam, Hezir,
   Nehemiah|10:21  Meshezabeel, Zadok, Jaddua,
   Nehemiah|10:22  Pelatiah, Hanan, Anaiah,
   Nehemiah|10:23  Hoshea, Hananiah, Hashub,
   Nehemiah|10:24  Hallohesh, Pileha, Shobek,
   Nehemiah|10:25  Rehum, Hashabnah, Maaseiah,
   Nehemiah|10:26  And Ahijah, Hanan, Anan,
   Nehemiah|10:27  Malluch, Harim, Baanah.
   Nehemiah|10:28  And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the
 porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated
 themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives,
 their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having
 understanding;
   Nehemiah|10:29  They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered
 into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by
 Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the
 LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
   Nehemiah|10:30  And that we would not give our daughters unto the people
 of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
   Nehemiah|10:31  And [if] the people of the land bring ware or any

 victuals on the sabbath day to sell, [that] we would not buy it of them on
 the sabbath, or on the holy day: and [that] we would leave the seventh
 year, and the exaction of every debt.
   Nehemiah|10:32  Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves
 yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our
 God;
   Nehemiah|10:33  For the showbread, and for the continual meat offering,
 and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons,
 for the set feasts, and for the holy [things], and for the sin offerings to
 make an atonement for Israel, and [for] all the work of the house of our
 God.
   Nehemiah|10:34  And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and
 the people, for the wood offering, to bring [it] into the house of our God,
 after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn
 upon the altar of the LORD our God, as [it is] written in the law:
   Nehemiah|10:35  And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the
 firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the
 LORD:
   Nehemiah|10:36  Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as [it
 is] written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks,
 to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the

 house of our God:
   Nehemiah|10:37  And [that] we should bring the firstfruits of our dough,
 and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of
 oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the
 tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the
 tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
   Nehemiah|10:38  And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the
 Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the
 tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the
 treasure house.
   Nehemiah|10:39  For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall
 bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the
 chambers, where [are] the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that
 minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the
 house of our God.
   Nehemiah|11:1  And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest
 of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the
 holy city, and nine parts [to dwell] in [other] cities.
   Nehemiah|11:2  And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered
 themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
   Nehemiah|11:3  Now these [are] the chief of the province that dwelt in

 Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in
 their cities, [to wit], Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the
 Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants.
   Nehemiah|11:4  And at Jerusalem dwelt [certain] of the children of Judah,
 and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah; Athaiah the son
 of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah,
 the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez;
   Nehemiah|11:5  And Maaseiah the son of Baruch, the son of Colhozeh, the
 son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of
 Zechariah, the son of Shiloni.
   Nehemiah|11:6  All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem [were] four
 hundred threescore and eight valiant men.

 Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son
 of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jesaiah.
   Nehemiah|11:8  And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred twenty and
 eight.
   Nehemiah|11:9  And Joel the son of Zichri [was] their overseer: and Judah
 the son of Senuah [was] second over the city.
   Nehemiah|11:10  Of the priests: Jedaiah the son of Joiarib, Jachin.
   Nehemiah|11:11  Seraiah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son

 of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, [was] the ruler of the
 house of God.
   Nehemiah|11:12  And their brethren that did the work of the house [were]
 eight hundred twenty and two: and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of
 Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashur, the son
 of Malchiah,
   Nehemiah|11:13  And his brethren, chief of the fathers, two hundred forty
 and two: and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahasai, the son of
 Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,
   Nehemiah|11:14  And their brethren, mighty men of valour, an hundred
 twenty and eight: and their overseer [was] Zabdiel, the son of [one of] the
 great men.
   Nehemiah|11:15  Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son
 of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;
   Nehemiah|11:16  And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites,
 [had] the oversight of the outward business of the house of God.
   Nehemiah|11:17  And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son
 of Asaph, [was] the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer: and
 Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the
 son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.
   Nehemiah|11:18  All the Levites in the holy city [were] two hundred

 fourscore and four.
   Nehemiah|11:19  Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren
 that kept the gates, [were] an hundred seventy and two.
   Nehemiah|11:20  And the residue of Israel, of the priests, [and] the
 Levites, [were] in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
   Nehemiah|11:21  But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa
 [were] over the Nethinims.
   Nehemiah|11:22  The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem [was] Uzzi
 the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of
 Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers [were] over the business of the
 house of God.
   Nehemiah|11:23  For [it was] the king's commandment concerning them, that
 a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.
   Nehemiah|11:24  And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of
 Zerah the son of Judah, [was] at the king's hand in all matters concerning
 the people.
   Nehemiah|11:25  And for the villages, with their fields, [some] of the
 children of Judah dwelt at Kirjatharba, and [in] the villages thereof, and
 at Dibon, and [in] the villages thereof, and at Jekabzeel, and [in] the
 villages thereof,
   Nehemiah|11:26  And at Jeshua, and at Moladah, and at Bethphelet,

   Nehemiah|11:27  And at Hazarshual, and at Beersheba, and [in] the
 villages thereof,
   Nehemiah|11:28  And at Ziklag, and at Mekonah, and in the villages
 thereof,
   Nehemiah|11:29  And at Enrimmon, and at Zareah, and at Jarmuth,
   Nehemiah|11:30  Zanoah, Adullam, and [in] their villages, at Lachish, and
 the fields thereof, at Azekah, and [in] the villages thereof. And they
 dwelt from Beersheba unto the valley of Hinnom.
   Nehemiah|11:31  The children also of Benjamin from Geba [dwelt] at
 Michmash, and Aija, and Bethel, and [in] their villages,
   Nehemiah|11:32  [And] at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,
   Nehemiah|11:33  Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,
   Nehemiah|11:34  Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,
   Nehemiah|11:35  Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen.
   Nehemiah|11:36  And of the Levites [were] divisions [in] Judah, [and] in
 Benjamin.
   Nehemiah|12:1  Now these [are] the priests and the Levites that went up
 with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
   Nehemiah|12:2  Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
   Nehemiah|12:3  Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
   Nehemiah|12:4  Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,

   Nehemiah|12:5  Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,
   Nehemiah|12:6  Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,
   Nehemiah|12:7  Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These [were] the chief of
 the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.
   Nehemiah|12:8  Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah,
 Judah, [and] Mattaniah, [which was] over the thanksgiving, he and his
 brethren.
   Nehemiah|12:9  Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, [were] over
 against them in the watches.
   Nehemiah|12:10  And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib,
 and Eliashib begat Joiada,
   Nehemiah|12:11  And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
   Nehemiah|12:12  And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the
 fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
   Nehemiah|12:13  Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
   Nehemiah|12:14  Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
   Nehemiah|12:15  Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
   Nehemiah|12:16  Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
   Nehemiah|12:17  Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;
   Nehemiah|12:18  Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;
   Nehemiah|12:19  And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;

   Nehemiah|12:20  Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
   Nehemiah|12:21  Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
   Nehemiah|12:22  The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan,
 and Jaddua, [were] recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the
 reign of Darius the Persian.
   Nehemiah|12:23  The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, [were]
 written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the
 son of Eliashib.
   Nehemiah|12:24  And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and
 Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise
 [and] to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God,
 ward over against ward.
   Nehemiah|12:25  Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon,
 Akkub, [were] porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.
   Nehemiah|12:26  These [were] in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua,
 the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra
 the priest, the scribe.
   Nehemiah|12:27  And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they
 sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to
 keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with
 singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

   Nehemiah|12:28  And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together,
 both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages
 of Netophathi;
   Nehemiah|12:29  Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of
 Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about
 Jerusalem.
   Nehemiah|12:30  And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and
 purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
   Nehemiah|12:31  Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and
 appointed two great [companies of them that gave] thanks, [whereof one]
 went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
   Nehemiah|12:32  And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of
 Judah,
   Nehemiah|12:33  And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
   Nehemiah|12:34  Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
   Nehemiah|12:35  And [certain] of the priests' sons with trumpets;
 [namely], Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of
 Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
   Nehemiah|12:36  And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai,
 Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments
 of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

   Nehemiah|12:37  And at the fountain gate, which was over against them,
 they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the
 wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
   Nehemiah|12:38  And the other [company of them that gave] thanks went
 over against [them], and I after them, and the half of the people upon the
 wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
   Nehemiah|12:39  And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old
 gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of
 Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
   Nehemiah|12:40  So stood the two [companies of them that gave] thanks in
 the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
   Nehemiah|12:41  And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah,
 Elioenai, Zechariah, [and] Hananiah, with trumpets;
   Nehemiah|12:42  And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and
 Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud,
 with Jezrahiah [their] overseer.
   Nehemiah|12:43  Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and
 rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and
 the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar
 off.
   Nehemiah|12:44  And at that time were some appointed over the chambers

 for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the
 tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of
 the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and
 for the Levites that waited.
   Nehemiah|12:45  And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of
 their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment
 of David, [and] of Solomon his son.
   Nehemiah|12:46  For in the days of David and Asaph of old [there were]
 chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
   Nehemiah|12:47  And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days
 of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day
 his portion: and they sanctified [holy things] unto the Levites; and the
 Levites sanctified [them] unto the children of Aaron.
   Nehemiah|13:1  On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience
 of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the
 Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;
   Nehemiah|13:2  Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and
 with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them:
 howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
   Nehemiah|13:3  Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that
 they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.

   Nehemiah|13:4  And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight
 of the chamber of the house of our God, [was] allied unto Tobiah:
   Nehemiah|13:5  And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where
 aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels,
 and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded
 [to be given] to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the
 offerings of the priests.
   Nehemiah|13:6  But in all this [time] was not I at Jerusalem: for in the
 two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king,
 and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
   Nehemiah|13:7  And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that
 Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the
 house of God.
   Nehemiah|13:8  And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the
 household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
   Nehemiah|13:9  Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and
 thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat
 offering and the frankincense.
   Nehemiah|13:10  And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not
 been given [them]: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were
 fled every one to his field.

   Nehemiah|13:11  Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the
 house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their
 place.
   Nehemiah|13:12  Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new
 wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
   Nehemiah|13:13  And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the
 priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them
 [was] Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted
 faithful, and their office [was] to distribute unto their brethren.
   Nehemiah|13:14  Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out
 my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices
 thereof.
   Nehemiah|13:15  In those days saw I in Judah [some] treading wine presses
 on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine,
 grapes, and figs, and all [manner of] burdens, which they brought into
 Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified [against them] in the day
 wherein they sold victuals.
   Nehemiah|13:16  There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish,
 and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah,
 and in Jerusalem.
   Nehemiah|13:17  Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto

 them, What evil thing [is] this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
   Nehemiah|13:18  Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all
 this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel
 by profaning the sabbath.
   Nehemiah|13:19  And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem
 began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be
 shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath:
 and [some] of my servants set I at the gates, [that] there should no burden
 be brought in on the sabbath day.
   Nehemiah|13:20  So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged
 without Jerusalem once or twice.
   Nehemiah|13:21  Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why
 lodge ye about the wall? if ye do [so] again, I will lay hands on you. From
 that time forth came they no [more] on the sabbath.
   Nehemiah|13:22  And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse
 themselves, and [that] they should come [and] keep the gates, to sanctify
 the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, [concerning] this also, and spare
 me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
   Nehemiah|13:23  In those days also saw I Jews [that] had married wives of
 Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab:
   Nehemiah|13:24  And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod,

 and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of
 each people.
   Nehemiah|13:25  And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote
 certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God,
 [saying], Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their
 daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
   Nehemiah|13:26  Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet
 among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God,
 and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish
 women cause to sin.
   Nehemiah|13:27  Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil,
 to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
   Nehemiah|13:28  And [one] of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the
 high priest, [was] son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased
 him from me.
   Nehemiah|13:29  Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the
 priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
   Nehemiah|13:30  Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed
 the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
   Nehemiah|13:31  And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for
 the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.

   Esther|1:1  Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this [is]
 Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, [over] an hundred
 and seven and twenty provinces:)
   Esther|1:2  [That] in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the
 throne of his kingdom, which [was] in Shushan the palace,
   Esther|1:3  In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his
 princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and
 princes of the provinces, [being] before him:
   Esther|1:4  When he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the
 honour of his excellent majesty many days, [even] and hundred and fourscore
 days.
   Esther|1:5  And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto
 all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and
 small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
   Esther|1:6  [Where were] white, green, and blue, [hangings], fastened
 with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble:
 the beds [were of] gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and
 white, and black, marble.
   Esther|1:7  And they gave [them] drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels
 being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to
 the state of the king.

   Esther|1:8  And the drinking [was] according to the law; none did compel:
 for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they
 should do according to every man's pleasure.
   Esther|1:9  Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women [in] the
 royal house which [belonged] to king Ahasuerus.
   Esther|1:10  On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry
 with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha,
 Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of
 Ahasuerus the king,
   Esther|1:11  To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown
 royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she [was] fair to
 look on.
   Esther|1:12  But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's
 commandment by [his] chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and
 his anger burned in him.
   Esther|1:13  Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times,
 (for so [was] the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
   Esther|1:14  And the next unto him [was] Carshena, Shethar, Admatha,
 Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and
 Media, which saw the king's face, [and] which sat the first in the
 kingdom;)

   Esther|1:15  What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law,
 because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the
 chamberlains?
   Esther|1:16  And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti
 the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the
 princes, and to all the people that [are] in all the provinces of the king
 Ahasuerus.
   Esther|1:17  For [this] deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all
 women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it
 shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be
 brought in before him, but she came not.
   Esther|1:18  [Likewise] shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day
 unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen.
 Thus [shall there arise] too much contempt and wrath.
   Esther|1:19  If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from
 him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes,
 that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and
 let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
   Esther|1:20  And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be
 published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall
 give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.

   Esther|1:21  And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the
 king did according to the word of Memucan:
   Esther|1:22  For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into
 every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after
 their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that
 [it] should be published according to the language of every people.
   Esther|2:1  After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was
 appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed
 against her.
   Esther|2:2  Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let
 there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
   Esther|2:3  And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his
 kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto
 Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the
 king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for
 purification be given [them]:
   Esther|2:4  And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead
 of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
   Esther|2:5  [Now] in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose
 name [was] Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a
 Benjamite;

   Esther|2:6  Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity
 which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom
 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
   Esther|2:7  And he brought up Hadassah, that [is], Esther, his uncle's
 daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid [was] fair
 and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took
 for his own daughter.
   Esther|2:8  So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his
 decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan
 the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the
 king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
   Esther|2:9  And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him;
 and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as
 belonged to her, and seven maidens, [which were] meet to be given her, out
 of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best
 [place] of the house of the women.
   Esther|2:10  Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred: for
 Mordecai had charged her that she should not show [it].
   Esther|2:11  And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the
 women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
   Esther|2:12  Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king

 Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner
 of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished,
 [to wit], six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours,
 and with [other] things for the purifying of the women;)
   Esther|2:13  Then thus came [every] maiden unto the king; whatsoever she
 desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the
 king's house.
   Esther|2:14  In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into
 the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's
 chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more,
 except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
   Esther|2:15  Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the
 uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in
 unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain,
 the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight
 of all them that looked upon her.
   Esther|2:16  So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal
 in the tenth month, which [is] the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his
 reign.
   Esther|2:17  And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she
 obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that

 he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
   Esther|2:18  Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and
 his servants, [even] Esther's feast; and he made a release to the
 provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
   Esther|2:19  And when the virgins were gathered together the second time,
 then Mordecai sat in the king's gate.
   Esther|2:20  Esther had not [yet] showed her kindred nor her people; as
 Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like
 as when she was brought up with him.
   Esther|2:21  In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of
 the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door,
 were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
   Esther|2:22  And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told [it] unto
 Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king [thereof] in Mordecai's
 name.
   Esther|2:23  And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found
 out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the
 book of the chronicles before the king.
   Esther|3:1  After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son
 of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the
 princes that [were] with him.

   Esther|3:2  And all the king's servants, that [were] in the king's gate,
 bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him.
 But Mordecai bowed not, nor did [him] reverence.
   Esther|3:3  Then the king's servants, which [were] in the king's gate,
 said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
   Esther|3:4  Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he
 hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's
 matters would stand: for he had told them that he [was] a Jew.
   Esther|3:5  And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him
 reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
   Esther|3:6  And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they
 had showed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy
 all the Jews that [were] throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even]
 the people of Mordecai.
   Esther|3:7  In the first month, that [is], the month Nisan, in the
 twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that [is], the lot, before
 Haman from day to day, and from month to month, [to] the twelfth [month],
 that [is], the month Adar.
   Esther|3:8  And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people
 scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy
 kingdom; and their laws [are] diverse from all people; neither keep they

 the king's laws: therefore it [is] not for the king's profit to suffer
 them.
   Esther|3:9  If it please the king, let it be written that they may be
 destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of
 those that have the charge of the business, to bring [it] into the king's
 treasuries.
   Esther|3:10  And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto
 Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
   Esther|3:11  And the king said unto Haman, The silver [is] given to thee,
 the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
   Esther|3:12  Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of
 the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had
 commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that [were]
 over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province
 according to the writing thereof, and [to] every people after their
 language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the
 king's ring.
   Esther|3:13  And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's
 provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both
 young and old, little children and women, in one day, [even] upon the
 thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and [to

 take] the spoil of them for a prey.
   Esther|3:14  The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in
 every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready
 against that day.
   Esther|3:15  The posts went out, being hastened by the king's
 commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king
 and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
   Esther|4:1  When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his
 clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of
 the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
   Esther|4:2  And came even before the king's gate: for none [might] enter
 into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
   Esther|4:3  And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment
 and his decree came, [there was] great mourning among the Jews, and
 fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
   Esther|4:4  So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told [it]
 her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe
 Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received [it]
 not.
   Esther|4:5  Then called Esther for Hatach, [one] of the king's
 chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a

 commandment to Mordecai, to know what it [was], and why it [was].
   Esther|4:6  So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city,
 which [was] before the king's gate.
   Esther|4:7  And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and
 of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's
 treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
   Esther|4:8  Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that
 was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show [it] unto Esther, and to
 declare [it] unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the
 king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her
 people.
   Esther|4:9  And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
   Esther|4:10  Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment
 unto Mordecai;
   Esther|4:11  All the king's servants, and the people of the king's
 provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto
 the king into the inner court, who is not called, [there is] one law of his
 to put [him] to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the
 golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in
 unto the king these thirty days.
   Esther|4:12  And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.

   Esther|4:13  Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with
 thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
   Esther|4:14  For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time,
 [then] shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from
 another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who
 knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for [such] a time as this?
   Esther|4:15  Then Esther bade [them] return Mordecai [this answer],
   Esther|4:16  Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in
 Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or
 day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the
 king, which [is] not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
   Esther|4:17  So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that
 Esther had commanded him.
   Esther|5:1  Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on
 [her] royal [apparel], and stood in the inner court of the king's house,
 over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in
 the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
   Esther|5:2  And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in
 the court, [that] she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out
 to Esther the golden sceptre that [was] in his hand. So Esther drew near,
 and touched the top of the sceptre.

   Esther|5:3  Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther?
 and what [is] thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the
 kingdom.
   Esther|5:4  And Esther answered, If [it seem] good unto the king, let the
 king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
   Esther|5:5  Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do
 as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther
 had prepared.
   Esther|5:6  And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What
 [is] thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what [is] thy request?
 even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
   Esther|5:7  Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request
 [is];
   Esther|5:8  If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it
 please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the
 king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I
 will do to morrow as the king hath said.
   Esther|5:9  Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart:
 but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor
 moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
   Esther|5:10  Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home,

 he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
   Esther|5:11  And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the
 multitude of his children, and all [the things] wherein the king had
 promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of
 the king.
   Esther|5:12  Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man
 come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself;
 and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.
   Esther|5:13  Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai
 the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
   Esther|5:14  Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let
 a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the
 king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the
 king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the
 gallows to be made.
   Esther|6:1  On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to
 bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the
 king.
   Esther|6:2  And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana
 and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who
 sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

   Esther|6:3  And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to
 Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him,
 There is nothing done for him.
   Esther|6:4  And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman was come
 into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang
 Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
   Esther|6:5  And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth
 in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
   Esther|6:6  So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be
 done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in
 his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
   Esther|6:7  And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king
 delighteth to honour,
   Esther|6:8  Let the royal apparel be brought which the king [useth] to
 wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is
 set upon his head:
   Esther|6:9  And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of
 one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man [withal]
 whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the
 street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the
 man whom the king delighteth to honour.

   Esther|6:10  Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, [and] take the
 apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the
 Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou
 hast spoken.
   Esther|6:11  Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed
 Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and
 proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king
 delighteth to honour.
   Esther|6:12  And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted
 to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
   Esther|6:13  And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every
 [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife
 unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast
 begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall
 before him.
   Esther|6:14  And while they [were] yet talking with him, came the king's
 chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had
 prepared.
   Esther|7:1  So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
   Esther|7:2  And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the
 banquet of wine, What [is] thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be

 granted thee: and what [is] thy request? and it shall be performed, [even]
 to the half of the kingdom.
   Esther|7:3  Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found
 favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be
 given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
   Esther|7:4  For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be
 slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I
 had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's
 damage.
   Esther|7:5  Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the
 queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do
 so?
   Esther|7:6  And Esther said, The adversary and enemy [is] this wicked
 Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
   Esther|7:7  And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath
 [went] into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his
 life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against
 him by the king.
   Esther|7:8  Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the
 place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon
 Esther [was]. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in

 the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's
 face.
   Esther|7:9  And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king,
 Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for
 Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman.
 Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
   Esther|7:10  So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for
 Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
   Esther|8:1  On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman
 the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king;
 for Esther had told what he [was] unto her.
   Esther|8:2  And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from
 Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of
 Haman.
   Esther|8:3  And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at
 his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the
 Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
   Esther|8:4  Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So
 Esther arose, and stood before the king,
   Esther|8:5  And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour
 in his sight, and the thing [seem] right before the king, and I [be]

 pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by
 Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews
 which [are] in all the king's provinces:
   Esther|8:6  For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my
 people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
   Esther|8:7  Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to
 Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him
 they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
   Esther|8:8  Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's
 name, and seal [it] with the king's ring: for the writing which is written
 in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
   Esther|8:9  Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third
 month, that [is], the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [day]
 thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto
 the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the
 provinces which [are] from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven
 provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto
 every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their
 writing, and according to their language.
   Esther|8:10  And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed [it]
 with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, [and] riders

 on mules, camels, [and] young dromedaries:
   Esther|8:11  Wherein the king granted the Jews which [were] in every city
 to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to
 slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that
 would assault them, [both] little ones and women, and [to take] the spoil
 of them for a prey,
   Esther|8:12  Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus,
 [namely], upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which [is] the
 month Adar.
   Esther|8:13  The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in
 every province [was] published unto all people, and that the Jews should be
 ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
   Esther|8:14  [So] the posts that rode upon mules [and] camels went out,
 being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was
 given at Shushan the palace.
   Esther|8:15  And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal
 apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a
 garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was
 glad.
   Esther|8:16  The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
   Esther|8:17  And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the

 king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a
 feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for
 the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
   Esther|9:1  Now in the twelfth month, that [is], the month Adar, on the
 thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew
 near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped
 to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the
 Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
   Esther|9:2  The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities
 throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as
 sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them
 fell upon all people.
   Esther|9:3  And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and
 the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear
 of Mordecai fell upon them.
   Esther|9:4  For Mordecai [was] great in the king's house, and his fame
 went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater
 and greater.
   Esther|9:5  Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the
 sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those
 that hated them.

   Esther|9:6  And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five
 hundred men.
   Esther|9:7  And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
   Esther|9:8  And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
   Esther|9:9  And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
   Esther|9:10  The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of
 the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
   Esther|9:11  On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan
 the palace was brought before the king.
   Esther|9:12  And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain
 and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of
 Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what
 [is] thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what [is] thy request
 further? and it shall be done.
   Esther|9:13  Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted
 to the Jews which [are] in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this
 day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
   Esther|9:14  And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was
 given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
   Esther|9:15  For the Jews that [were] in Shushan gathered themselves
 together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three

 hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
   Esther|9:16  But the other Jews that [were] in the king's provinces
 gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from
 their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they
 laid not their hands on the prey,
   Esther|9:17  On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the
 fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and
 gladness.
   Esther|9:18  But the Jews that [were] at Shushan assembled together on
 the thirteenth [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the
 fifteenth [day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and
 gladness.
   Esther|9:19  Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the
 unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar [a day of]
 gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to
 another.
   Esther|9:20  And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all
 the Jews that [were] in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, [both]
 nigh and far,
   Esther|9:21  To stablish [this] among them, that they should keep the
 fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same,

 yearly,
   Esther|9:22  As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and
 the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning
 into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and
 of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
   Esther|9:23  And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as
 Mordecai had written unto them;
   Esther|9:24  Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy
 of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast
 Pur, that [is], the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
   Esther|9:25  But when [Esther] came before the king, he commanded by
 letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should
 return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the
 gallows.
   Esther|9:26  Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of
 Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and [of that] which they
 had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
   Esther|9:27  The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed,
 and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail,
 that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and
 according to their [appointed] time every year;

   Esther|9:28  And [that] these days [should be] remembered and kept
 throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city;
 and [that] these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the
 memorial of them perish from their seed.
   Esther|9:29  Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai
 the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
   Esther|9:30  And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred
 twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of
 peace and truth,
   Esther|9:31  To confirm these days of Purim in their times [appointed],
 according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and
 as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the
 fastings and their cry.
   Esther|9:32  And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim;
 and it was written in the book.
   Esther|10:1  And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and
 [upon] the isles of the sea.
   Esther|10:2  And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the
 declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him,
 [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media
 and Persia?

   Esther|10:3  For Mordecai the Jew [was] next unto king Ahasuerus, and
 great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren,
 seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
   Job|1:1  There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job; and
 that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed
 evil.
   Job|1:2  And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
   Job|1:3  His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand
 camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a
 very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of
 the east.
   Job|1:4  And his sons went and feasted [in their] houses, every one his
 day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with
 them.
   Job|1:5  And it was so, when the days of [their] feasting were gone
 about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning,
 and offered burnt offerings [according] to the number of them all: for Job
 said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.
 Thus did Job continually.
   Job|1:6  Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
 themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

   Job|1:7  And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan
 answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from
 walking up and down in it.
   Job|1:8  And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant
 Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright
 man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
   Job|1:9  Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for
 nought?
   Job|1:10  Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and
 about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his
 hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
   Job|1:11  But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and
 he will curse thee to thy face.
   Job|1:12  And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath [is] in
 thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth
 from the presence of the LORD.
   Job|1:13  And there was a day when his sons and his daughters [were]
 eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
   Job|1:14  And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were
 plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
   Job|1:15  And the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away; yea, they

 have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped
 alone to tell thee.
   Job|1:16  While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
 The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and
 the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
   Job|1:17  While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
 The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have
 carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword;
 and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
   Job|1:18  While he [was] yet speaking, there came also another, and said,
 Thy sons and thy daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in their eldest
 brother's house:
   Job|1:19  And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and
 smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and
 they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
   Job|1:20  Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and
 fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
   Job|1:21  And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall
 I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be
 the name of the LORD.
   Job|1:22  In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

   Job|2:1  Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present
 themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present
 himself before the LORD.
   Job|2:2  And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan
 answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from
 walking up and down in it.
   Job|2:3  And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant
 Job, that [there is] none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright
 man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast
 his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without
 cause.
   Job|2:4  And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all
 that a man hath will he give for his life.
   Job|2:5  But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh,
 and he will curse thee to thy face.
   Job|2:6  And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he [is] in thine hand; but
 save his life.
   Job|2:7  So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job
 with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
   Job|2:8  And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat
 down among the ashes.

   Job|2:9  Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine
 integrity? curse God, and die.
   Job|2:10  But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women
 speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not
 receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
   Job|2:11  Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was
 come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the
 Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had
 made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
   Job|2:12  And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not,
 they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle,
 and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
   Job|2:13  So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven
 nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that [his] grief was
 very great.
   Job|3:1  After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
   Job|3:2  And Job spake, and said,
   Job|3:3  Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night [in which]
 it was said, There is a man child conceived.
   Job|3:4  Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above,
 neither let the light shine upon it.

   Job|3:5  Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell
 upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
   Job|3:6  As [for] that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be
 joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the
 months.
   Job|3:7  Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come
 therein.
   Job|3:8  Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up
 their mourning.
   Job|3:9  Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for
 light, but [have] none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
   Job|3:10  Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's] womb, nor hid
 sorrow from mine eyes.
   Job|3:11  Why died I not from the womb? [why] did I [not] give up the
 ghost when I came out of the belly?
   Job|3:12  Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should
 suck?
   Job|3:13  For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have
 slept: then had I been at rest,
   Job|3:14  With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate
 places for themselves;

   Job|3:15  Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with
 silver:
   Job|3:16  Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants
 [which] never saw light.
   Job|3:17  There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary be
 at rest.
   Job|3:18  [There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of
 the oppressor.
   Job|3:19  The small and great are there; and the servant [is] free from
 his master.
   Job|3:20  Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life
 unto the bitter [in] soul;
   Job|3:21  Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more
 than for hid treasures;
   Job|3:22  Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they can find
 the grave?
   Job|3:23  [Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God
 hath hedged in?
   Job|3:24  For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured
 out like the waters.
   Job|3:25  For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that

 which I was afraid of is come unto me.
   Job|3:26  I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet;
 yet trouble came.
   Job|4:1  Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
   Job|4:2  [If] we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but
 who can withhold himself from speaking?
   Job|4:3  Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened
 the weak hands.
   Job|4:4  Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast
 strengthened the feeble knees.
   Job|4:5  But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth
 thee, and thou art troubled.
   Job|4:6  [Is] not [this] thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the
 uprightness of thy ways?
   Job|4:7  Remember, I pray thee, who [ever] perished, being innocent? or
 where were the righteous cut off?
   Job|4:8  Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow
 wickedness, reap the same.
   Job|4:9  By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his
 nostrils are they consumed.
   Job|4:10  The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and

 the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
   Job|4:11  The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's
 whelps are scattered abroad.
   Job|4:12  Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a
 little thereof.
   Job|4:13  In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep
 falleth on men,
   Job|4:14  Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to
 shake.
   Job|4:15  Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood
 up:
   Job|4:16  It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an
 image [was] before mine eyes, [there was] silence, and I heard a voice,
 [saying],
   Job|4:17  Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more
 pure than his maker?
   Job|4:18  Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he
 charged with folly:
   Job|4:19  How much less [in] them that dwell in houses of clay, whose
 foundation [is] in the dust, [which] are crushed before the moth?
   Job|4:20  They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for

 ever without any regarding [it].
   Job|4:21  Doth not their excellency [which is] in them go away? they die,
 even without wisdom.
   Job|5:1  Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of
 the saints wilt thou turn?
   Job|5:2  For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly
 one.
   Job|5:3  I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his
 habitation.
   Job|5:4  His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the
 gate, neither [is there] any to deliver [them].
   Job|5:5  Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of
 the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
   Job|5:6  Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth
 trouble spring out of the ground;
   Job|5:7  Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
   Job|5:8  I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
   Job|5:9  Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things
 without number:
   Job|5:10  Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the
 fields:

   Job|5:11  To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may
 be exalted to safety.
   Job|5:12  He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands
 cannot perform [their] enterprise.
   Job|5:13  He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of
 the froward is carried headlong.
   Job|5:14  They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the
 noonday as in the night.
   Job|5:15  But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and
 from the hand of the mighty.
   Job|5:16  So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
   Job|5:17  Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore
 despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
   Job|5:18  For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands
 make whole.
   Job|5:19  He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there
 shall no evil touch thee.
   Job|5:20  In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the
 power of the sword.
   Job|5:21  Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt
 thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

   Job|5:22  At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou
 be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
   Job|5:23  For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and
 the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
   Job|5:24  And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle [shall be] in peace;
 and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
   Job|5:25  Thou shalt know also that thy seed [shall be] great, and thine
 offspring as the grass of the earth.
   Job|5:26  Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in a full age, like as a shock
 of corn cometh in in his season.
   Job|5:27  Lo this, we have searched it, so it [is]; hear it, and know
 thou [it] for thy good.
   Job|6:1  But Job answered and said,
   Job|6:2  Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid
 in the balances together!
   Job|6:3  For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore
 my words are swallowed up.
   Job|6:4  For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me, the poison
 whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in
 array against me.
   Job|6:5  Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over

 his fodder?
   Job|6:6  Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there
 [any] taste in the white of an egg?
   Job|6:7  The things [that] my soul refused to touch [are] as my sorrowful
 meat.
   Job|6:8  Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant [me]
 the thing that I long for!
   Job|6:9  Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let
 loose his hand, and cut me off!
   Job|6:10  Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in
 sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy
 One.
   Job|6:11  What [is] my strength, that I should hope? and what [is] mine
 end, that I should prolong my life?
   Job|6:12  [Is] my strength the strength of stones? or [is] my flesh of
 brass?
   Job|6:13  [Is] not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
   Job|6:14  To him that is afflicted pity [should be showed] from his
 friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
   Job|6:15  My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, [and] as the
 stream of brooks they pass away;

   Job|6:16  Which are blackish by reason of the ice, [and] wherein the snow
 is hid:
   Job|6:17  What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are
 consumed out of their place.
   Job|6:18  The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing,
 and perish.
   Job|6:19  The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for
 them.
   Job|6:20  They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither,
 and were ashamed.
   Job|6:21  For now ye are nothing; ye see [my] casting down, and are
 afraid.
   Job|6:22  Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your
 substance?
   Job|6:23  Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the
 hand of the mighty?
   Job|6:24  Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand
 wherein I have erred.
   Job|6:25  How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing
 reprove?
   Job|6:26  Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is

 desperate, [which are] as wind?
   Job|6:27  Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig [a pit] for your
 friend.
   Job|6:28  Now therefore be content, look upon me; for [it is] evident
 unto you if I lie.
   Job|6:29  Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again,
 my righteousness [is] in it.
   Job|6:30  Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern
 perverse things?
   Job|7:1  [Is there] not an appointed time to man upon earth? [are not]
 his days also like the days of an hireling?
   Job|7:2  As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling
 looketh for [the reward of] his work:
   Job|7:3  So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights
 are appointed to me.
   Job|7:4  When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be
 gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
   Job|7:5  My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is
 broken, and become loathsome.
   Job|7:6  My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent
 without hope.

   Job|7:7  O remember that my life [is] wind: mine eye shall no more see
 good.
   Job|7:8  The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no [more]: thine
 eyes [are] upon me, and I [am] not.
   Job|7:9  [As] the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth
 down to the grave shall come up no [more].
   Job|7:10  He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place
 know him any more.
   Job|7:11  Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the
 anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
   Job|7:12  [Am] I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
   Job|7:13  When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my
 complaint;
   Job|7:14  Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through
 visions:
   Job|7:15  So that my soul chooseth strangling, [and] death rather than my
 life.
   Job|7:16  I loathe [it]; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my
 days [are] vanity.
   Job|7:17  What [is] man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou
 shouldest set thine heart upon him?

   Job|7:18  And [that] thou shouldest visit him every morning, [and] try
 him every moment?
   Job|7:19  How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I
 swallow down my spittle?
   Job|7:20  I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of
 men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to
 myself?
   Job|7:21  And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away
 mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in
 the morning, but I [shall] not [be].
   Job|8:1  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
   Job|8:2  How long wilt thou speak these [things]? and [how long shall]
 the words of thy mouth [be like] a strong wind?
   Job|8:3  Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
   Job|8:4  If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them
 away for their transgression;
   Job|8:5  If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy
 supplication to the Almighty;
   Job|8:6  If thou [wert] pure and upright; surely now he would awake for
 thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
   Job|8:7  Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should

 greatly increase.
   Job|8:8  For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself
 to the search of their fathers:
   Job|8:9  (For we [are but of] yesterday, and know nothing, because our
 days upon earth [are] a shadow:)
   Job|8:10  Shall not they teach thee, [and] tell thee, and utter words out
 of their heart?
   Job|8:11  Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without
 water?
   Job|8:12  Whilst it [is] yet in his greenness, [and] not cut down, it
 withereth before any [other] herb.
   Job|8:13  So [are] the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's
 hope shall perish:
   Job|8:14  Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust [shall be] a
 spider's web.
   Job|8:15  He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall
 hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
   Job|8:16  He [is] green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in
 his garden.
   Job|8:17  His roots are wrapped about the heap, [and] seeth the place of
 stones.

   Job|8:18  If he destroy him from his place, then [it] shall deny him,
 [saying], I have not seen thee.
   Job|8:19  Behold, this [is] the joy of his way, and out of the earth
 shall others grow.
   Job|8:20  Behold, God will not cast away a perfect [man], neither will he
 help the evil doers:
   Job|8:21  Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with
 rejoicing.
   Job|8:22  They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the
 dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
   Job|9:1  Then Job answered and said,
   Job|9:2  I know [it is] so of a truth: but how should man be just with
 God?
   Job|9:3  If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a
 thousand.
   Job|9:4  [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened
 [himself] against him, and hath prospered?
   Job|9:5  Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which
 overturneth them in his anger.
   Job|9:6  Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars
 thereof tremble.

   Job|9:7  Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the
 stars.
   Job|9:8  Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the
 waves of the sea.
   Job|9:9  Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of
 the south.
   Job|9:10  Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders
 without number.
   Job|9:11  Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not: he passeth on also,
 but I perceive him not.
   Job|9:12  Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto
 him, What doest thou?
   Job|9:13  [If] God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do
 stoop under him.
   Job|9:14  How much less shall I answer him, [and] choose out my words [to
 reason] with him?
   Job|9:15  Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer, [but]
 I would make supplication to my judge.
   Job|9:16  If I had called, and he had answered me; [yet] would I not
 believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
   Job|9:17  For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds

 without cause.
   Job|9:18  He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with
 bitterness.
   Job|9:19  If [I speak] of strength, lo, [he is] strong: and if of
 judgment, who shall set me a time [to plead]?
   Job|9:20  If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: [if I
 say], I [am] perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
   Job|9:21  [Though] I [were] perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I
 would despise my life.
   Job|9:22  This [is] one [thing], therefore I said [it], He destroyeth the
 perfect and the wicked.
   Job|9:23  If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the
 innocent.
   Job|9:24  The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the
 faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, [and] who [is] he?
   Job|9:25  Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see
 no good.
   Job|9:26  They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle [that]
 hasteth to the prey.
   Job|9:27  If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my
 heaviness, and comfort [myself]:

   Job|9:28  I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold
 me innocent.
   Job|9:29  [If] I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
   Job|9:30  If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so
 clean;
   Job|9:31  Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes
 shall abhor me.
   Job|9:32  For [he is] not a man, as I [am, that] I should answer him,
 [and] we should come together in judgment.
   Job|9:33  Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his
 hand upon us both.
   Job|9:34  Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify
 me:
   Job|9:35  [Then] would I speak, and not fear him; but [it is] not so with
 me.
   Job|10:1  My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon
 myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
   Job|10:2  I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me wherefore thou
 contendest with me.
   Job|10:3  [Is it] good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou
 shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of

 the wicked?
   Job|10:4  Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
   Job|10:5  [Are] thy days as the days of man? [are] thy years as man's
 days,
   Job|10:6  That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my
 sin?
   Job|10:7  Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] none that can
 deliver out of thine hand.
   Job|10:8  Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about;
 yet thou dost destroy me.
   Job|10:9  Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay;
 and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
   Job|10:10  Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like
 cheese?
   Job|10:11  Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me
 with bones and sinews.
   Job|10:12  Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath
 preserved my spirit.
   Job|10:13  And these [things] hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that
 this [is] with thee.
   Job|10:14  If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me

 from mine iniquity.
   Job|10:15  If I be wicked, woe unto me; and [if] I be righteous, [yet]
 will I not lift up my head. [I am] full of confusion; therefore see thou
 mine affliction;
   Job|10:16  For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again
 thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
   Job|10:17  Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine
 indignation upon me; changes and war [are] against me.
   Job|10:18  Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh
 that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
   Job|10:19  I should have been as though I had not been; I should have
 been carried from the womb to the grave.
   Job|10:20  [Are] not my days few? cease [then, and] let me alone, that I
 may take comfort a little,
   Job|10:21  Before I go [whence] I shall not return, [even] to the land of
 darkness and the shadow of death;
   Job|10:22  A land of darkness, as darkness [itself; and] of the shadow of
 death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness.
   Job|11:1  Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
   Job|11:2  Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man
 full of talk be justified?

   Job|11:3  Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou
 mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
   Job|11:4  For thou hast said, My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in
 thine eyes.
   Job|11:5  But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
   Job|11:6  And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom, that [they
 are] double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee
 [less] than thine iniquity [deserveth].
   Job|11:7  Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the
 Almighty unto perfection?
   Job|11:8  [It is] as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than
 hell; what canst thou know?
   Job|11:9  The measure thereof [is] longer than the earth, and broader
 than the sea.
   Job|11:10  If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can
 hinder him?
   Job|11:11  For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not
 then consider [it]?
   Job|11:12  For vain man would be wise, though man be born [like] a wild
 ass's colt.
   Job|11:13  If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands

 toward him;
   Job|11:14  If iniquity [be] in thine hand, put it far away, and let not
 wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
   Job|11:15  For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou
 shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
   Job|11:16  Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as
 waters [that] pass away:
   Job|11:17  And [thine] age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt
 shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
   Job|11:18  And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou
 shalt dig [about thee, and] thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
   Job|11:19  Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make [thee] afraid;
 yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
   Job|11:20  But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not
 escape, and their hope [shall be as] the giving up of the ghost.
   Job|12:1  And Job answered and said,
   Job|12:2  No doubt but ye [are] the people, and wisdom shall die with
 you.
   Job|12:3  But I have understanding as well as you; I [am] not inferior to
 you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
   Job|12:4  I am [as] one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God,

 and he answereth him: the just upright [man is] laughed to scorn.
   Job|12:5  He that is ready to slip with [his] feet [is as] a lamp
 despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
   Job|12:6  The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God
 are secure; into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly].
   Job|12:7  But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the
 fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
   Job|12:8  Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes
 of the sea shall declare unto thee.
   Job|12:9  Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath
 wrought this?
   Job|12:10  In whose hand [is] the soul of every living thing, and the
 breath of all mankind.
   Job|12:11  Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
   Job|12:12  With the ancient [is] wisdom; and in length of days
 understanding.
   Job|12:13  With him [is] wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and
 understanding.
   Job|12:14  Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he
 shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
   Job|12:15  Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he

 sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
   Job|12:16  With him [is] strength and wisdom: the deceived and the
 deceiver [are] his.
   Job|12:17  He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges
 fools.
   Job|12:18  He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a
 girdle.
   Job|12:19  He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
   Job|12:20  He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the
 understanding of the aged.
   Job|12:21  He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength
 of the mighty.
   Job|12:22  He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out
 to light the shadow of death.
   Job|12:23  He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth
 the nations, and straiteneth them [again].
   Job|12:24  He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the
 earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness [where there is] no way.
   Job|12:25  They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to
 stagger like [a] drunken [man].
   Job|13:1  Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], mine ear hath heard and

 understood it.
   Job|13:2  What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I [am] not inferior
 unto you.
   Job|13:3  Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason
 with God.
   Job|13:4  But ye [are] forgers of lies, ye [are] all physicians of no
 value.
   Job|13:5  O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be
 your wisdom.
   Job|13:6  Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
   Job|13:7  Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
   Job|13:8  Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
   Job|13:9  Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh
 another, do ye [so] mock him?
   Job|13:10  He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
   Job|13:11  Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall
 upon you?
   Job|13:12  Your remembrances [are] like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies
 of clay.
   Job|13:13  Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come
 on me what [will].

   Job|13:14  Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in
 mine hand?
   Job|13:15  Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will
 maintain mine own ways before him.
   Job|13:16  He also [shall be] my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not
 come before him.
   Job|13:17  Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
   Job|13:18  Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I shall be
 justified.
   Job|13:19  Who [is] he [that] will plead with me? for now, if I hold my
 tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
   Job|13:20  Only do not two [things] unto me: then will I not hide myself
 from thee.
   Job|13:21  Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me
 afraid.
   Job|13:22  Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer
 thou me.
   Job|13:23  How many [are] mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my
 transgression and my sin.
   Job|13:24  Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine
 enemy?

   Job|13:25  Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue
 the dry stubble?
   Job|13:26  For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to
 possess the iniquities of my youth.
   Job|13:27  Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly
 unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
   Job|13:28  And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is
 moth eaten.
   Job|14:1  Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of
 trouble.
   Job|14:2  He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also
 as a shadow, and continueth not.
   Job|14:3  And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me
 into judgment with thee?
   Job|14:4  Who can bring a clean [thing] out of an unclean? not one.
   Job|14:5  Seeing his days [are] determined, the number of his months
 [are] with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
   Job|14:6  Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as
 an hireling, his day.
   Job|14:7  For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will
 sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

   Job|14:8  Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock
 thereof die in the ground;
   Job|14:9  [Yet] through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth
 boughs like a plant.
   Job|14:10  But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost,
 and where [is] he?
   Job|14:11  [As] the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and
 drieth up:
   Job|14:12  So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens [be] no
 more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
   Job|14:13  O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest
 keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a
 set time, and remember me!
   Job|14:14  If a man die, shall he live [again]? all the days of my
 appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
   Job|14:15  Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a
 desire to the work of thine hands.
   Job|14:16  For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my
 sin?
   Job|14:17  My transgression [is] sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up
 mine iniquity.

   Job|14:18  And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock
 is removed out of his place.
   Job|14:19  The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which
 grow [out] of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
   Job|14:20  Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou
 changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
   Job|14:21  His sons come to honour, and he knoweth [it] not; and they are
 brought low, but he perceiveth [it] not of them.
   Job|14:22  But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within
 him shall mourn.
   Job|15:1  Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
   Job|15:2  Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with
 the east wind?
   Job|15:3  Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches
 wherewith he can do no good?
   Job|15:4  Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
   Job|15:5  For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the
 tongue of the crafty.
   Job|15:6  Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips
 testify against thee.
   Job|15:7  [Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made

 before the hills?
   Job|15:8  Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain
 wisdom to thyself?
   Job|15:9  What knowest thou, that we know not? [what] understandest thou,
 which [is] not in us?
   Job|15:10  With us [are] both the grayheaded and very aged men, much
 elder than thy father.
   Job|15:11  [Are] the consolations of God small with thee? is there any
 secret thing with thee?
   Job|15:12  Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes
 wink at,
   Job|15:13  That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such]
 words go out of thy mouth?
   Job|15:14  What [is] man, that he should be clean? and [he which is] born
 of a woman, that he should be righteous?
   Job|15:15  Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens
 are not clean in his sight.
   Job|15:16  How much more abominable and filthy [is] man, which drinketh
 iniquity like water?
   Job|15:17  I will show thee, hear me; and that [which] I have seen I will
 declare;

   Job|15:18  Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid
 [it]:
   Job|15:19  Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed
 among them.
   Job|15:20  The wicked man travaileth with pain all [his] days, and the
 number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
   Job|15:21  A dreadful sound [is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer
 shall come upon him.
   Job|15:22  He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he
 is waited for of the sword.
   Job|15:23  He wandereth abroad for bread, [saying], Where [is it]? he
 knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
   Job|15:24  Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail
 against him, as a king ready to the battle.
   Job|15:25  For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth
 himself against the Almighty.
   Job|15:26  He runneth upon him, [even] on [his] neck, upon the thick
 bosses of his bucklers:
   Job|15:27  Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh
 collops of fat on [his] flanks.
   Job|15:28  And he dwelleth in desolate cities, [and] in houses which no

 man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
   Job|15:29  He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue,
 neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
   Job|15:30  He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up
 his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
   Job|15:31  Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall
 be his recompense.
   Job|15:32  It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall
 not be green.
   Job|15:33  He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall
 cast off his flower as the olive.
   Job|15:34  For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and
 fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
   Job|15:35  They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their
 belly prepareth deceit.
   Job|16:1  Then Job answered and said,
   Job|16:2  I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] ye
 all.
   Job|16:3  Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that
 thou answerest?
   Job|16:4  I also could speak as ye [do]: if your soul were in my soul's

 stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
   Job|16:5  [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of
 my lips should asswage [your grief].
   Job|16:6  Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and [though] I
 forbear, what am I eased?
   Job|16:7  But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my
 company.
   Job|16:8  And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, [which] is a witness
 [against me]: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
   Job|16:9  He teareth [me] in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon
 me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
   Job|16:10  They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me
 upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together
 against me.
   Job|16:11  God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into
 the hands of the wicked.
   Job|16:12  I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also
 taken [me] by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
   Job|16:13  His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins
 asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
   Job|16:14  He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me

 like a giant.
   Job|16:15  I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in
 the dust.
   Job|16:16  My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the
 shadow of death;
   Job|16:17  Not for [any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer [is]
 pure.
   Job|16:18  O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no
 place.
   Job|16:19  Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record
 [is] on high.
   Job|16:20  My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out [tears] unto
 God.
   Job|16:21  O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man [pleadeth]
 for his neighbour!
   Job|16:22  When a few years are come, then I shall go the way [whence] I
 shall not return.
   Job|17:1  My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves [are
 ready] for me.
   Job|17:2  [Are there] not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue
 in their provocation?

   Job|17:3  Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who [is] he [that]
 will strike hands with me?
   Job|17:4  For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore
 shalt thou not exalt [them].
   Job|17:5  He that speaketh flattery to [his] friends, even the eyes of
 his children shall fail.
   Job|17:6  He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I
 was as a tabret.
   Job|17:7  Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members
 [are] as a shadow.
   Job|17:8  Upright [men] shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall
 stir up himself against the hypocrite.
   Job|17:9  The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath
 clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
   Job|17:10  But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot
 find [one] wise [man] among you.
   Job|17:11  My days are past, my purposes are broken off, [even] the
 thoughts of my heart.
   Job|17:12  They change the night into day: the light [is] short because
 of darkness.
   Job|17:13  If I wait, the grave [is] mine house: I have made my bed in

 the darkness.
   Job|17:14  I have said to corruption, Thou [art] my father: to the worm,
 [Thou art] my mother, and my sister.
   Job|17:15  And where [is] now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
   Job|17:16  They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when [our] rest
 together [is] in the dust.
   Job|18:1  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
   Job|18:2  How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and
 afterwards we will speak.
   Job|18:3  Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your
 sight?
   Job|18:4  He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken
 for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
   Job|18:5  Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of
 his fire shall not shine.
   Job|18:6  The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall
 be put out with him.
   Job|18:7  The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own
 counsel shall cast him down.
   Job|18:8  For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon
 a snare.

   Job|18:9  The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall
 prevail against him.
   Job|18:10  The snare [is] laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him
 in the way.
   Job|18:11  Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive
 him to his feet.
   Job|18:12  His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be]
 ready at his side.
   Job|18:13  It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the firstborn
 of death shall devour his strength.
   Job|18:14  His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it
 shall bring him to the king of terrors.
   Job|18:15  It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his:
 brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
   Job|18:16  His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his
 branch be cut off.
   Job|18:17  His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have
 no name in the street.
   Job|18:18  He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of
 the world.
   Job|18:19  He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any

 remaining in his dwellings.
   Job|18:20  They that come after [him] shall be astonied at his day, as
 they that went before were affrighted.
   Job|18:21  Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is]
 the place [of him that] knoweth not God.
   Job|19:1  Then Job answered and said,
   Job|19:2  How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with
 words?
   Job|19:3  These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed
 [that] ye make yourselves strange to me.
   Job|19:4  And be it indeed [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with
 myself.
   Job|19:5  If indeed ye will magnify [yourselves] against me, and plead
 against me my reproach:
   Job|19:6  Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me
 with his net.
   Job|19:7  Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud,
 but [there is] no judgment.
   Job|19:8  He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set
 darkness in my paths.
   Job|19:9  He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown [from] my

 head.
   Job|19:10  He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine
 hope hath he removed like a tree.
   Job|19:11  He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me
 unto him as [one of] his enemies.
   Job|19:12  His troops come together, and raise up their way against me,
 and encamp round about my tabernacle.
   Job|19:13  He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are
 verily estranged from me.
   Job|19:14  My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have
 forgotten me.
   Job|19:15  They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a
 stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
   Job|19:16  I called my servant, and he gave [me] no answer; I entreated
 him with my mouth.
   Job|19:17  My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the
 children's [sake] of mine own body.
   Job|19:18  Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake
 against me.
   Job|19:19  All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are
 turned against me.

   Job|19:20  My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped
 with the skin of my teeth.
   Job|19:21  Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the
 hand of God hath touched me.
   Job|19:22  Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my
 flesh?
   Job|19:23  Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed
 in a book!
   Job|19:24  That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock
 for ever!
   Job|19:25  For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall
 stand at the latter [day] upon the earth:
   Job|19:26  And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in
 my flesh shall I see God:
   Job|19:27  Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and
 not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me.
   Job|19:28  But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of
 the matter is found in me?
   Job|19:29  Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the
 punishments of the sword, that ye may know [there is] a judgment.
   Job|20:1  Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

   Job|20:2  Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for [this] I
 make haste.
   Job|20:3  I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my
 understanding causeth me to answer.
   Job|20:4  Knowest thou [not] this of old, since man was placed upon
 earth,
   Job|20:5  That the triumphing of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of
 the hypocrite [but] for a moment?
   Job|20:6  Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head
 reach unto the clouds;
   Job|20:7  [Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which
 have seen him shall say, Where [is] he?
   Job|20:8  He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he
 shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
   Job|20:9  The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more; neither
 shall his place any more behold him.
   Job|20:10  His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands
 shall restore their goods.
   Job|20:11  His bones are full [of the sin] of his youth, which shall lie
 down with him in the dust.
   Job|20:12  Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, [though] he hide it

 under his tongue;
   Job|20:13  [Though] he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still
 within his mouth:
   Job|20:14  [Yet] his meat in his bowels is turned, [it is] the gall of
 asps within him.
   Job|20:15  He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up
 again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
   Job|20:16  He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall
 slay him.
   Job|20:17  He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey
 and butter.
   Job|20:18  That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not
 swallow [it] down: according to [his] substance [shall] the restitution
 [be], and he shall not rejoice [therein].
   Job|20:19  Because he hath oppressed [and] hath forsaken the poor;
 [because] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
   Job|20:20  Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not
 save of that which he desired.
   Job|20:21  There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man
 look for his goods.
   Job|20:22  In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:

 every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
   Job|20:23  [When] he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the
 fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is
 eating.
   Job|20:24  He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel
 shall strike him through.
   Job|20:25  It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering
 sword cometh out of his gall: terrors [are] upon him.
   Job|20:26  All darkness [shall be] hid in his secret places: a fire not
 blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his
 tabernacle.
   Job|20:27  The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise
 up against him.
   Job|20:28  The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall
 flow away in the day of his wrath.
   Job|20:29  This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the
 heritage appointed unto him by God.
   Job|21:1  But Job answered and said,
   Job|21:2  Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
   Job|21:3  Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock
 on.

   Job|21:4  As for me, [is] my complaint to man? and if [it were so], why
 should not my spirit be troubled?
   Job|21:5  Mark me, and be astonished, and lay [your] hand upon [your]
 mouth.
   Job|21:6  Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on
 my flesh.
   Job|21:7  Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in
 power?
   Job|21:8  Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their
 offspring before their eyes.
   Job|21:9  Their houses [are] safe from fear, neither [is] the rod of God
 upon them.
   Job|21:10  Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and
 casteth not her calf.
   Job|21:11  They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their
 children dance.
   Job|21:12  They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of
 the organ.
   Job|21:13  They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to
 the grave.
   Job|21:14  Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not

 the knowledge of thy ways.
   Job|21:15  What [is] the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what
 profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
   Job|21:16  Lo, their good [is] not in their hand: the counsel of the
 wicked is far from me.
   Job|21:17  How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and [how oft]
 cometh their destruction upon them! [God] distributeth sorrows in his
 anger.
   Job|21:18  They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the
 storm carrieth away.
   Job|21:19  God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him,
 and he shall know [it].
   Job|21:20  His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the
 wrath of the Almighty.
   Job|21:21  For what pleasure [hath] he in his house after him, when the
 number of his months is cut off in the midst?
   Job|21:22  Shall [any] teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that
 are high.
   Job|21:23  One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and
 quiet.
   Job|21:24  His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with

 marrow.
   Job|21:25  And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never
 eateth with pleasure.
   Job|21:26  They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall
 cover them.
   Job|21:27  Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices [which] ye
 wrongfully imagine against me.
   Job|21:28  For ye say, Where [is] the house of the prince? and where
 [are] the dwelling places of the wicked?
   Job|21:29  Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know
 their tokens,
   Job|21:30  That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they
 shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
   Job|21:31  Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him
 [what] he hath done?
   Job|21:32  Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the
 tomb.
   Job|21:33  The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man
 shall draw after him, as [there are] innumerable before him.
   Job|21:34  How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there
 remaineth falsehood?

   Job|22:1  Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
   Job|22:2  Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be
 profitable unto himself?
   Job|22:3  [Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?
 or [is it] gain [to him], that thou makest thy ways perfect?
   Job|22:4  Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee
 into judgment?
   Job|22:5  [Is] not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
   Job|22:6  For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and
 stripped the naked of their clothing.
   Job|22:7  Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast
 withholden bread from the hungry.
   Job|22:8  But [as for] the mighty man, he had the earth; and the
 honourable man dwelt in it.
   Job|22:9  Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the
 fatherless have been broken.
   Job|22:10  Therefore snares [are] round about thee, and sudden fear
 troubleth thee;
   Job|22:11  Or darkness, [that] thou canst not see; and abundance of
 waters cover thee.
   Job|22:12  [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of

 the stars, how high they are!
   Job|22:13  And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the
 dark cloud?
   Job|22:14  Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that he seeth not; and
 he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
   Job|22:15  Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
   Job|22:16  Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was
 overflown with a flood:
   Job|22:17  Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty
 do for them?
   Job|22:18  Yet he filled their houses with good [things]: but the counsel
 of the wicked is far from me.
   Job|22:19  The righteous see [it], and are glad: and the innocent laugh
 them to scorn.
   Job|22:20  Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them
 the fire consumeth.
   Job|22:21  Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good
 shall come unto thee.
   Job|22:22  Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his
 words in thine heart.
   Job|22:23  If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou

 shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
   Job|22:24  Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the [gold] of Ophir
 as the stones of the brooks.
   Job|22:25  Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have
 plenty of silver.
   Job|22:26  For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and
 shalt lift up thy face unto God.
   Job|22:27  Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee,
 and thou shalt pay thy vows.
   Job|22:28  Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established
 unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
   Job|22:29  When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is]
 lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
   Job|22:30  He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is
 delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
   Job|23:1  Then Job answered and said,
   Job|23:2  Even to day [is] my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than
 my groaning.
   Job|23:3  Oh that I knew where I might find him! [that] I might come
 [even] to his seat!
   Job|23:4  I would order [my] cause before him, and fill my mouth with

 arguments.
   Job|23:5  I would know the words [which] he would answer me, and
 understand what he would say unto me.
   Job|23:6  Will he plead against me with [his] great power? No; but he
 would put [strength] in me.
   Job|23:7  There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be
 delivered for ever from my judge.
   Job|23:8  Behold, I go forward, but he [is] not [there]; and backward,
 but I cannot perceive him:
   Job|23:9  On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold
 [him]: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see [him]:
   Job|23:10  But he knoweth the way that I take: [when] he hath tried me, I
 shall come forth as gold.
   Job|23:11  My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not
 declined.
   Job|23:12  Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I
 have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary [food].
   Job|23:13  But he [is] in one [mind], and who can turn him? and [what]
 his soul desireth, even [that] he doeth.
   Job|23:14  For he performeth [the thing that is] appointed for me: and
 many such [things are] with him.

   Job|23:15  Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am
 afraid of him.
   Job|23:16  For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
   Job|23:17  Because I was not cut off before the darkness, [neither] hath
 he covered the darkness from my face.
   Job|24:1  Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they
 that know him not see his days?
   Job|24:2  [Some] remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks,
 and feed [thereof].
   Job|24:3  They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the
 widow's ox for a pledge.
   Job|24:4  They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide
 themselves together.
   Job|24:5  Behold, [as] wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their
 work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] food for them
 [and] for [their] children.
   Job|24:6  They reap [every one] his corn in the field: and they gather
 the vintage of the wicked.
   Job|24:7  They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that [they
 have] no covering in the cold.
   Job|24:8  They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the

 rock for want of a shelter.
   Job|24:9  They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of
 the poor.
   Job|24:10  They cause [him] to go naked without clothing, and they take
 away the sheaf [from] the hungry;
   Job|24:11  [Which] make oil within their walls, [and] tread [their]
 winepresses, and suffer thirst.
   Job|24:12  Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded
 crieth out: yet God layeth not folly [to them].
   Job|24:13  They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not
 the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
   Job|24:14  The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy,
 and in the night is as a thief.
   Job|24:15  The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
 saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth [his] face.
   Job|24:16  In the dark they dig through houses, [which] they had marked
 for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
   Job|24:17  For the morning [is] to them even as the shadow of death: if
 [one] know [them, they are in] the terrors of the shadow of death.
   Job|24:18  He [is] swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the
 earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

   Job|24:19  Drought and heat consume the snow waters: [so doth] the grave
 [those which] have sinned.
   Job|24:20  The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him;
 he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
   Job|24:21  He evil entreateth the barren [that] beareth not: and doeth
 not good to the widow.
   Job|24:22  He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and
 no [man] is sure of life.
   Job|24:23  [Though] it be given him [to be] in safety, whereon he
 resteth; yet his eyes [are] upon their ways.
   Job|24:24  They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought
 low; they are taken out of the way as all [other], and cut off as the tops
 of the ears of corn.
   Job|24:25  And if [it be] not [so] now, who will make me a liar, and make
 my speech nothing worth?
   Job|25:1  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
   Job|25:2  Dominion and fear [are] with him, he maketh peace in his high
 places.
   Job|25:3  Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his
 light arise?
   Job|25:4  How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean

 [that is] born of a woman?
   Job|25:5  Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are
 not pure in his sight.
   Job|25:6  How much less man, [that is] a worm? and the son of man, [which
 is] a worm?
   Job|26:1  But Job answered and said,
   Job|26:2  How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest
 thou the arm [that hath] no strength?
   Job|26:3  How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how]
 hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
   Job|26:4  To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from
 thee?
   Job|26:5  Dead [things] are formed from under the waters, and the
 inhabitants thereof.
   Job|26:6  Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
   Job|26:7  He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, [and] hangeth
 the earth upon nothing.
   Job|26:8  He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is
 not rent under them.
   Job|26:9  He holdeth back the face of his throne, [and] spreadeth his
 cloud upon it.

   Job|26:10  He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and
 night come to an end.
   Job|26:11  The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his
 reproof.
   Job|26:12  He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding
 he smiteth through the proud.
   Job|26:13  By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath
 formed the crooked serpent.
   Job|26:14  Lo, these [are] parts of his ways: but how little a portion is
 heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
   Job|27:1  Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
   Job|27:2  [As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my judgment; and the
 Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;
   Job|27:3  All the while my breath [is] in me, and the spirit of God [is]
 in my nostrils;
   Job|27:4  My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
   Job|27:5  God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not
 remove mine integrity from me.
   Job|27:6  My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart
 shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
   Job|27:7  Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against

 me as the unrighteous.
   Job|27:8  For what [is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained,
 when God taketh away his soul?
   Job|27:9  Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
   Job|27:10  Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call
 upon God?
   Job|27:11  I will teach you by the hand of God: [that] which [is] with
 the Almighty will I not conceal.
   Job|27:12  Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it]; why then are ye thus
 altogether vain?
   Job|27:13  This [is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the
 heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
   Job|27:14  If his children be multiplied, [it is] for the sword: and his
 offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
   Job|27:15  Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his
 widows shall not weep.
   Job|27:16  Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as
 the clay;
   Job|27:17  He may prepare [it], but the just shall put [it] on, and the
 innocent shall divide the silver.
   Job|27:18  He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth [that] the

 keeper maketh.
   Job|27:19  The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he
 openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.
   Job|27:20  Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him
 away in the night.
   Job|27:21  The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a
 storm hurleth him out of his place.
   Job|27:22  For [God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain
 flee out of his hand.
   Job|27:23  [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of
 his place.
   Job|28:1  Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold
 [where] they fine [it].
   Job|28:2  Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass [is] molten [out of]
 the stone.
   Job|28:3  He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all
 perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
   Job|28:4  The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; [even the waters]
 forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
   Job|28:5  [As for] the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is
 turned up as it were fire.

   Job|28:6  The stones of it [are] the place of sapphires: and it hath dust
 of gold.
   Job|28:7  [There is] a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the
 vulture's eye hath not seen:
   Job|28:8  The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion
 passed by it.
   Job|28:9  He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the
 mountains by the roots.
   Job|28:10  He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every
 precious thing.
   Job|28:11  He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and [the thing that
 is] hid bringeth he forth to light.
   Job|28:12  But where shall wisdom be found? and where [is] the place of
 understanding?
   Job|28:13  Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the
 land of the living.
   Job|28:14  The depth saith, It [is] not in me: and the sea saith, [It is]
 not with me.
   Job|28:15  It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed
 [for] the price thereof.
   Job|28:16  It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious

 onyx, or the sapphire.
   Job|28:17  The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of
 it [shall not be for] jewels of fine gold.
   Job|28:18  No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price
 of wisdom [is] above rubies.
   Job|28:19  The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be
 valued with pure gold.
   Job|28:20  Whence then cometh wisdom? and where [is] the place of
 understanding?
   Job|28:21  Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close
 from the fowls of the air.
   Job|28:22  Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with
 our ears.
   Job|28:23  God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place
 thereof.
   Job|28:24  For he looketh to the ends of the earth, [and] seeth under the
 whole heaven;
   Job|28:25  To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters
 by measure.
   Job|28:26  When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the
 lightning of the thunder:

   Job|28:27  Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and
 searched it out.
   Job|28:28  And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is]
 wisdom; and to depart from evil [is] understanding.
   Job|29:1  Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
   Job|29:2  Oh that I were as [in] months past, as [in] the days [when] God
 preserved me;
   Job|29:3  When his candle shined upon my head, [and when] by his light I
 walked [through] darkness;
   Job|29:4  As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was]
 upon my tabernacle;
   Job|29:5  When the Almighty [was] yet with me, [when] my children [were]
 about me;
   Job|29:6  When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out
 rivers of oil;
   Job|29:7  When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared
 my seat in the street!
   Job|29:8  The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose,
 [and] stood up.
   Job|29:9  The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their
 mouth.

   Job|29:10  The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the
 roof of their mouth.
   Job|29:11  When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye
 saw [me], it gave witness to me:
   Job|29:12  Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless,
 and [him that had] none to help him.
   Job|29:13  The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and
 I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
   Job|29:14  I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment [was]
 as a robe and a diadem.
   Job|29:15  I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame.
   Job|29:16  I [was] a father to the poor: and the cause [which] I knew not
 I searched out.
   Job|29:17  And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out
 of his teeth.
   Job|29:18  Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply [my]
 days as the sand.
   Job|29:19  My root [was] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all
 night upon my branch.
   Job|29:20  My glory [was] fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
   Job|29:21  Unto me [men] gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my

 counsel.
   Job|29:22  After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped
 upon them.
   Job|29:23  And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their
 mouth wide [as] for the latter rain.
   Job|29:24  [If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and the light
 of my countenance they cast not down.
   Job|29:25  I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in
 the army, as one [that] comforteth the mourners.
   Job|30:1  But now [they that are] younger than I have me in derision,
 whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
   Job|30:2  Yea, whereto [might] the strength of their hands [profit] me,
 in whom old age was perished?
   Job|30:3  For want and famine [they were] solitary; fleeing into the
 wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
   Job|30:4  Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots [for] their
 meat.
   Job|30:5  They were driven forth from among [men], (they cried after them
 as [after] a thief;)
   Job|30:6  To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, [in] caves of the earth,
 and [in] the rocks.

   Job|30:7  Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were
 gathered together.
   Job|30:8  [They were] children of fools, yea, children of base men: they
 were viler than the earth.
   Job|30:9  And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
   Job|30:10  They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in
 my face.
   Job|30:11  Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have
 also let loose the bridle before me.
   Job|30:12  Upon [my] right [hand] rise the youth; they push away my feet,
 and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
   Job|30:13  They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no
 helper.
   Job|30:14  They came [upon me] as a wide breaking in [of waters]: in the
 desolation they rolled themselves [upon me].
   Job|30:15  Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind:
 and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
   Job|30:16  And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction
 have taken hold upon me.
   Job|30:17  My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews
 take no rest.

   Job|30:18  By the great force [of my disease] is my garment changed: it
 bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
   Job|30:19  He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and
 ashes.
   Job|30:20  I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and
 thou regardest me [not].
   Job|30:21  Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou
 opposest thyself against me.
   Job|30:22  Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride [upon
 it], and dissolvest my substance.
   Job|30:23  For I know [that] thou wilt bring me [to] death, and [to] the
 house appointed for all living.
   Job|30:24  Howbeit he will not stretch out [his] hand to the grave,
 though they cry in his destruction.
   Job|30:25  Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was [not] my soul
 grieved for the poor?
   Job|30:26  When I looked for good, then evil came [unto me]: and when I
 waited for light, there came darkness.
   Job|30:27  My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction
 prevented me.
   Job|30:28  I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, [and] I cried in

 the congregation.
   Job|30:29  I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
   Job|30:30  My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
   Job|30:31  My harp also is [turned] to mourning, and my organ into the
 voice of them that weep.
   Job|31:1  I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon
 a maid?
   Job|31:2  For what portion of God [is there] from above? and [what]
 inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
   Job|31:3  [Is] not destruction to the wicked? and a strange [punishment]
 to the workers of iniquity?
   Job|31:4  Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
   Job|31:5  If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to
 deceit;
   Job|31:6  Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine
 integrity.
   Job|31:7  If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked
 after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
   Job|31:8  [Then] let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring
 be rooted out.
   Job|31:9  If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or [if] I have

 laid wait at my neighbour's door;
   Job|31:10  [Then] let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down
 upon her.
   Job|31:11  For this [is] an heinous crime; yea, it [is] an iniquity [to
 be punished by] the judges.
   Job|31:12  For it [is] a fire [that] consumeth to destruction, and would
 root out all mine increase.
   Job|31:13  If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my
 maidservant, when they contended with me;
   Job|31:14  What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth,
 what shall I answer him?
   Job|31:15  Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one
 fashion us in the womb?
   Job|31:16  If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or have
 caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
   Job|31:17  Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath
 not eaten thereof;
   Job|31:18  (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as [with] a
 father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
   Job|31:19  If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor
 without covering;

   Job|31:20  If his loins have not blessed me, and [if] he were [not]
 warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
   Job|31:21  If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw
 my help in the gate:
   Job|31:22  [Then] let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm
 be broken from the bone.
   Job|31:23  For destruction [from] God [was] a terror to me, and by reason
 of his highness I could not endure.
   Job|31:24  If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold,
 [Thou art] my confidence;
   Job|31:25  If I rejoiced because my wealth [was] great, and because mine
 hand had gotten much;
   Job|31:26  If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in]
 brightness;
   Job|31:27  And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath
 kissed my hand:
   Job|31:28  This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge:
 for I should have denied the God [that is] above.
   Job|31:29  If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or
 lifted up myself when evil found him:
   Job|31:30  Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to

 his soul.
   Job|31:31  If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his
 flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
   Job|31:32  The stranger did not lodge in the street: [but] I opened my
 doors to the traveller.
   Job|31:33  If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine
 iniquity in my bosom:
   Job|31:34  Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families
 terrify me, that I kept silence, [and] went not out of the door?
   Job|31:35  Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire [is, that] the
 Almighty would answer me, and [that] mine adversary had written a book.
   Job|31:36  Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, [and] bind it [as] a
 crown to me.
   Job|31:37  I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince
 would I go near unto him.
   Job|31:38  If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise
 thereof complain;
   Job|31:39  If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have
 caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
   Job|31:40  Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of
 barley. The words of Job are ended.

   Job|32:1  So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he [was]
 righteous in his own eyes.
   Job|32:2  Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the
 Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because
 he justified himself rather than God.
   Job|32:3  Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because
 they had found no answer, and [yet] had condemned Job.
   Job|32:4  Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they [were]
 elder than he.
   Job|32:5  When Elihu saw that [there was] no answer in the mouth of
 [these] three men, then his wrath was kindled.
   Job|32:6  And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I
 [am] young, and ye [are] very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not
 show you mine opinion.
   Job|32:7  I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach
 wisdom.
   Job|32:8  But [there is] a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the
 Almighty giveth them understanding.
   Job|32:9  Great men are not [always] wise: neither do the aged understand
 judgment.
   Job|32:10  Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine

 opinion.
   Job|32:11  Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons,
 whilst ye searched out what to say.
   Job|32:12  Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you
 that convinced Job, [or] that answered his words:
   Job|32:13  Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth
 him down, not man.
   Job|32:14  Now he hath not directed [his] words against me: neither will
 I answer him with your speeches.
   Job|32:15  They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off
 speaking.
   Job|32:16  When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, [and]
 answered no more;)
   Job|32:17  [I said], I will answer also my part, I also will show mine
 opinion.
   Job|32:18  For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
   Job|32:19  Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is
 ready to burst like new bottles.
   Job|32:20  I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and
 answer.
   Job|32:21  Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let

 me give flattering titles unto man.
   Job|32:22  For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing] my
 maker would soon take me away.
   Job|33:1  Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to
 all my words.
   Job|33:2  Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my
 mouth.
   Job|33:3  My words [shall be of] the uprightness of my heart: and my lips
 shall utter knowledge clearly.
   Job|33:4  The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty
 hath given me life.
   Job|33:5  If thou canst answer me, set [thy words] in order before me,
 stand up.
   Job|33:6  Behold, I [am] according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am
 formed out of the clay.
   Job|33:7  Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my
 hand be heavy upon thee.
   Job|33:8  Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the
 voice of [thy] words, [saying],
   Job|33:9  I am clean without transgression, I [am] innocent; neither [is
 there] iniquity in me.

   Job|33:10  Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for
 his enemy,
   Job|33:11  He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
   Job|33:12  Behold, [in] this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that
 God is greater than man.
   Job|33:13  Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of
 any of his matters.
   Job|33:14  For God speaketh once, yea twice, [yet man] perceiveth it not.
   Job|33:15  In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth
 upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
   Job|33:16  Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their
 instruction,
   Job|33:17  That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, and hide pride
 from man.
   Job|33:18  He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from
 perishing by the sword.
   Job|33:19  He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude
 of his bones with strong [pain]:
   Job|33:20  So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
   Job|33:21  His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his
 bones [that] were not seen stick out.

   Job|33:22  Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the
 destroyers.
   Job|33:23  If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a
 thousand, to show unto man his uprightness:
   Job|33:24  Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from
 going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
   Job|33:25  His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to
 the days of his youth:
   Job|33:26  He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him:
 and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his
 righteousness.
   Job|33:27  He looketh upon men, and [if any] say, I have sinned, and
 perverted [that which was] right, and it profited me not;
   Job|33:28  He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life
 shall see the light.
   Job|33:29  Lo, all these [things] worketh God oftentimes with man,
   Job|33:30  To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with
 the light of the living.
   Job|33:31  Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will
 speak.
   Job|33:32  If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire

 to justify thee.
   Job|33:33  If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach
 thee wisdom.
   Job|34:1  Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
   Job|34:2  Hear my words, O ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that
 have knowledge.
   Job|34:3  For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
   Job|34:4  Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what
 [is] good.
   Job|34:5  For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my
 judgment.
   Job|34:6  Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without
 transgression.
   Job|34:7  What man [is] like Job, [who] drinketh up scorning like water?
   Job|34:8  Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and
 walketh with wicked men.
   Job|34:9  For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should
 delight himself with God.
   Job|34:10  Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it
 from God, [that he should do] wickedness; and [from] the Almighty, [that he
 should commit] iniquity.

   Job|34:11  For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause
 every man to find according to [his] ways.
   Job|34:12  Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the
 Almighty pervert judgment.
   Job|34:13  Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath
 disposed the whole world?
   Job|34:14  If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his
 spirit and his breath;
   Job|34:15  All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto
 dust.
   Job|34:16  If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: hearken to the
 voice of my words.
   Job|34:17  Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn
 him that is most just?
   Job|34:18  [Is it fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] wicked? [and] to
 princes, [Ye are] ungodly?
   Job|34:19  [How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of
 princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all [are] the
 work of his hands.
   Job|34:20  In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled
 at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without

 hand.
   Job|34:21  For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his
 goings.
   Job|34:22  [There is] no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers
 of iniquity may hide themselves.
   Job|34:23  For he will not lay upon man more [than right]; that he should
 enter into judgment with God.
   Job|34:24  He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set
 others in their stead.
   Job|34:25  Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth [them] in
 the night, so that they are destroyed.
   Job|34:26  He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
   Job|34:27  Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any
 of his ways:
   Job|34:28  So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and
 he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
   Job|34:29  When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when
 he hideth [his] face, who then can behold him? whether [it be done] against
 a nation, or against a man only:
   Job|34:30  That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
   Job|34:31  Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne

 [chastisement], I will not offend [any more]:
   Job|34:32  [That which] I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity,
 I will do no more.
   Job|34:33  [Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense it,
 whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak
 what thou knowest.
   Job|34:34  Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken
 unto me.
   Job|34:35  Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were]
 without wisdom.
   Job|34:36  My desire [is that] Job may be tried unto the end because of
 [his] answers for wicked men.
   Job|34:37  For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth [his hands]
 among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
   Job|35:1  Elihu spake moreover, and said,
   Job|35:2  Thinkest thou this to be right, [that] thou saidst, My
 righteousness [is] more than God's?
   Job|35:3  For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? [and],
 What profit shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin?
   Job|35:4  I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
   Job|35:5  Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds [which]

 are higher than thou.
   Job|35:6  If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or [if] thy
 transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
   Job|35:7  If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth
 he of thine hand?
   Job|35:8  Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art]; and thy
 righteousness [may profit] the son of man.
   Job|35:9  By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the
 oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
   Job|35:10  But none saith, Where [is] God my maker, who giveth songs in
 the night;
   Job|35:11  Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh
 us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
   Job|35:12  There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride
 of evil men.
   Job|35:13  Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty
 regard it.
   Job|35:14  Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, [yet] judgment
 [is] before him; therefore trust thou in him.
   Job|35:15  But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited in his
 anger; yet he knoweth [it] not in great extremity:

   Job|35:16  Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth
 words without knowledge.
   Job|36:1  Elihu also proceeded, and said,
   Job|36:2  Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that [I have] yet to
 speak on God's behalf.
   Job|36:3  I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe
 righteousness to my Maker.
   Job|36:4  For truly my words [shall] not [be] false: he that is perfect
 in knowledge [is] with thee.
   Job|36:5  Behold, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not [any: he is] mighty
 in strength [and] wisdom.
   Job|36:6  He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to
 the poor.
   Job|36:7  He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings
 [are they] on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they
 are exalted.
   Job|36:8  And if [they be] bound in fetters, [and] be holden in cords of
 affliction;
   Job|36:9  Then he showeth them their work, and their transgressions that
 they have exceeded.
   Job|36:10  He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that

 they return from iniquity.
   Job|36:11  If they obey and serve [him], they shall spend their days in
 prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
   Job|36:12  But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they
 shall die without knowledge.
   Job|36:13  But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when
 he bindeth them.
   Job|36:14  They die in youth, and their life [is] among the unclean.
   Job|36:15  He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their
 ears in oppression.
   Job|36:16  Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait [into] a
 broad place, where [there is] no straitness; and that which should be set
 on thy table [should be] full of fatness.
   Job|36:17  But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment
 and justice take hold [on thee].
   Job|36:18  Because [there is] wrath, [beware] lest he take thee away with
 [his] stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
   Job|36:19  Will he esteem thy riches? [no], not gold, nor all the forces
 of strength.
   Job|36:20  Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
   Job|36:21  Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen

 rather than affliction.
   Job|36:22  Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
   Job|36:23  Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast
 wrought iniquity?
   Job|36:24  Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
   Job|36:25  Every man may see it; man may behold [it] afar off.
   Job|36:26  Behold, God [is] great, and we know [him] not, neither can the
 number of his years be searched out.
   Job|36:27  For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain
 according to the vapour thereof:
   Job|36:28  Which the clouds do drop [and] distil upon man abundantly.
   Job|36:29  Also can [any] understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or]
 the noise of his tabernacle?
   Job|36:30  Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the
 bottom of the sea.
   Job|36:31  For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in
 abundance.
   Job|36:32  With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it [not to
 shine] by [the cloud] that cometh betwixt.
   Job|36:33  The noise thereof showeth concerning it, the cattle also
 concerning the vapour.

   Job|37:1  At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
   Job|37:2  Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that]
 goeth out of his mouth.
   Job|37:3  He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto
 the ends of the earth.
   Job|37:4  After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his
 excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
   Job|37:5  God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth
 he, which we cannot comprehend.
   Job|37:6  For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise to
 the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
   Job|37:7  He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his
 work.
   Job|37:8  Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
   Job|37:9  Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the
 north.
   Job|37:10  By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the
 waters is straitened.
   Job|37:11  Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth
 his bright cloud:
   Job|37:12  And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do

 whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
   Job|37:13  He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his
 land, or for mercy.
   Job|37:14  Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the
 wondrous works of God.
   Job|37:15  Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of
 his cloud to shine?
   Job|37:16  Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous
 works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
   Job|37:17  How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by the
 south [wind]?
   Job|37:18  Hast thou with him spread out the sky, [which is] strong,
 [and] as a molten looking glass?
   Job|37:19  Teach us what we shall say unto him; [for] we cannot order
 [our speech] by reason of darkness.
   Job|37:20  Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he
 shall be swallowed up.
   Job|37:21  And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the
 clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
   Job|37:22  Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God [is] terrible
 majesty.

   Job|37:23  [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is]
 excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not
 afflict.
   Job|37:24  Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are]
 wise of heart.
   Job|38:1  Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
   Job|38:2  Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without
 knowledge?
   Job|38:3  Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee,
 and answer thou me.
   Job|38:4  Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
 declare, if thou hast understanding.
   Job|38:5  Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who
 hath stretched the line upon it?
   Job|38:6  Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the
 corner stone thereof;
   Job|38:7  When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
 shouted for joy?
   Job|38:8  Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, [as
 if] it had issued out of the womb?
   Job|38:9  When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a

 swaddlingband for it,
   Job|38:10  And brake up for it my decreed [place], and set bars and
 doors,
   Job|38:11  And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here
 shall thy proud waves be stayed?
   Job|38:12  Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; [and] caused
 the dayspring to know his place;
   Job|38:13  That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the
 wicked might be shaken out of it?
   Job|38:14  It is turned as clay [to] the seal; and they stand as a
 garment.
   Job|38:15  And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high
 arm shall be broken.
   Job|38:16  Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou
 walked in the search of the depth?
   Job|38:17  Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou
 seen the doors of the shadow of death?
   Job|38:18  Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou
 knowest it all.
   Job|38:19  Where [is] the way [where] light dwelleth? and [as for]
 darkness, where [is] the place thereof,

   Job|38:20  That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that
 thou shouldest know the paths [to] the house thereof?
   Job|38:21  Knowest thou [it], because thou wast then born? or [because]
 the number of thy days [is] great?
   Job|38:22  Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou
 seen the treasures of the hail,
   Job|38:23  Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the
 day of battle and war?
   Job|38:24  By what way is the light parted, [which] scattereth the east
 wind upon the earth?
   Job|38:25  Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters,
 or a way for the lightning of thunder;
   Job|38:26  To cause it to rain on the earth, [where] no man [is; on] the
 wilderness, wherein [there is] no man;
   Job|38:27  To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground]; and to cause the
 bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
   Job|38:28  Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
   Job|38:29  Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven,
 who hath gendered it?
   Job|38:30  The waters are hid as [with] a stone, and the face of the deep
 is frozen.

   Job|38:31  Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the
 bands of Orion?
   Job|38:32  Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou
 guide Arcturus with his sons?
   Job|38:33  Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the
 dominion thereof in the earth?
   Job|38:34  Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of
 waters may cover thee?
   Job|38:35  Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto
 thee, Here we [are]?
   Job|38:36  Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given
 understanding to the heart?
   Job|38:37  Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the
 bottles of heaven,
   Job|38:38  When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast
 together?
   Job|38:39  Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of
 the young lions,
   Job|38:40  When they couch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the covert to
 lie in wait?
   Job|38:41  Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry

 unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
   Job|39:1  Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring
 forth? [or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
   Job|39:2  Canst thou number the months [that] they fulfil? or knowest
 thou the time when they bring forth?
   Job|39:3  They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they
 cast out their sorrows.
   Job|39:4  Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn;
 they go forth, and return not unto them.
   Job|39:5  Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the
 bands of the wild ass?
   Job|39:6  Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his
 dwellings.
   Job|39:7  He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the
 crying of the driver.
   Job|39:8  The range of the mountains [is] his pasture, and he searcheth
 after every green thing.
   Job|39:9  Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy
 crib?
   Job|39:10  Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or
 will he harrow the valleys after thee?

   Job|39:11  Wilt thou trust him, because his strength [is] great? or wilt
 thou leave thy labour to him?
   Job|39:12  Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and
 gather [it into] thy barn?
   Job|39:13  [Gavest thou] the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and
 feathers unto the ostrich?
   Job|39:14  Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
   Job|39:15  And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild
 beast may break them.
   Job|39:16  She is hardened against her young ones, as though [they were]
 not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
   Job|39:17  Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he
 imparted to her understanding.
   Job|39:18  What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the
 horse and his rider.
   Job|39:19  Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck
 with thunder?
   Job|39:20  Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his
 nostrils [is] terrible.
   Job|39:21  He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength: he
 goeth on to meet the armed men.

   Job|39:22  He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he
 back from the sword.
   Job|39:23  The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the
 shield.
   Job|39:24  He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither
 believeth he that [it is] the sound of the trumpet.
   Job|39:25  He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the
 battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
   Job|39:26  Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, [and] stretch her wings
 toward the south?
   Job|39:27  Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on
 high?
   Job|39:28  She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the
 rock, and the strong place.
   Job|39:29  From thence she seeketh the prey, [and] her eyes behold afar
 off.
   Job|39:30  Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain [are],
 there [is] she.
   Job|40:1  Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
   Job|40:2  Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct [him]? he
 that reproveth God, let him answer it.

   Job|40:3  Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
   Job|40:4  Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine
 hand upon my mouth.
   Job|40:5  Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I
 will proceed no further.
   Job|40:6  Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
   Job|40:7  Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and
 declare thou unto me.
   Job|40:8  Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that
 thou mayest be righteous?
   Job|40:9  Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice
 like him?
   Job|40:10  Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellency; and array
 thyself with glory and beauty.
   Job|40:11  Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one [that
 is] proud, and abase him.
   Job|40:12  Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and
 tread down the wicked in their place.
   Job|40:13  Hide them in the dust together; [and] bind their faces in
 secret.
   Job|40:14  Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand

 can save thee.
   Job|40:15  Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass
 as an ox.
   Job|40:16  Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in
 the navel of his belly.
   Job|40:17  He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are
 wrapped together.
   Job|40:18  His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are]
 like bars of iron.
   Job|40:19  He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can
 make his sword to approach [unto him].
   Job|40:20  Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the
 beasts of the field play.
   Job|40:21  He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and
 fens.
   Job|40:22  The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of
 the brook compass him about.
   Job|40:23  Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth
 that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
   Job|40:24  He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through
 snares.

   Job|41:1  Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with
 a cord [which] thou lettest down?
   Job|41:2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through
 with a thorn?
   Job|41:3  Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft
 [words] unto thee?
   Job|41:4  Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a
 servant for ever?
   Job|41:5  Wilt thou play with him as [with] a bird? or wilt thou bind him
 for thy maidens?
   Job|41:6  Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him
 among the merchants?
   Job|41:7  Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with
 fish spears?
   Job|41:8  Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
   Job|41:9  Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not [one] be cast
 down even at the sight of him?
   Job|41:10  None [is so] fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to
 stand before me?
   Job|41:11  Who hath prevented me, that I should repay [him? whatsoever
 is] under the whole heaven is mine.

   Job|41:12  I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely
 proportion.
   Job|41:13  Who can discover the face of his garment? [or] who can come
 [to him] with his double bridle?
   Job|41:14  Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth [are] terrible
 round about.
   Job|41:15  [His] scales [are his] pride, shut up together [as with] a
 close seal.
   Job|41:16  One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
   Job|41:17  They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they
 cannot be sundered.
   Job|41:18  By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes [are] like
 the eyelids of the morning.
   Job|41:19  Out of his mouth go burning lamps, [and] sparks of fire leap
 out.
   Job|41:20  Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as [out] of a seething pot or
 caldron.
   Job|41:21  His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
   Job|41:22  In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy
 before him.
   Job|41:23  The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in

 themselves; they cannot be moved.
   Job|41:24  His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of
 the nether [millstone].
   Job|41:25  When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason
 of breakings they purify themselves.
   Job|41:26  The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear,
 the dart, nor the habergeon.
   Job|41:27  He esteemeth iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.
   Job|41:28  The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with
 him into stubble.
   Job|41:29  Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a
 spear.
   Job|41:30  Sharp stones [are] under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed
 things upon the mire.
   Job|41:31  He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like
 a pot of ointment.
   Job|41:32  He maketh a path to shine after him; [one] would think the
 deep [to be] hoary.
   Job|41:33  Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
   Job|41:34  He beholdeth all high [things]: he [is] a king over all the
 children of pride.

   Job|42:1  Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
   Job|42:2  I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought
 can be withholden from thee.
   Job|42:3  Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore
 have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I
 knew not.
   Job|42:4  Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee,
 and declare thou unto me.
   Job|42:5  I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine
 eye seeth thee.
   Job|42:6  Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
   Job|42:7  And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words
 unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled
 against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me
 [the thing that is] right, as my servant Job [hath].
   Job|42:8  Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and
 go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my
 servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you
 [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which is]
 right, like my servant Job.
   Job|42:9  So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the

 Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD
 also accepted Job.
   Job|42:10  And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for
 his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
   Job|42:11  Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his
 sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat
 bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over
 all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a
 piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
   Job|42:12  So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his
 beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and
 a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
   Job|42:13  He had also seven sons and three daughters.
   Job|42:14  And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of
 the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
   Job|42:15  And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the
 daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their
 brethren.
   Job|42:16  After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his
 sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations.
   Job|42:17  So Job died, [being] old and full of days.

   Psalms|1:1  Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
 ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
 scornful.
   Psalms|1:2  But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law
 doth he meditate day and night.
   Psalms|1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
 that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
 wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
   Psalms|1:4  The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the
 wind driveth away.
   Psalms|1:5  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
 sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
   Psalms|1:6  For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of
 the ungodly shall perish.
   Psalms|2:1  Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
   Psalms|2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
 counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
   Psalms|2:3  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
 from us.
   Psalms|2:4  He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall
 have them in derision.

   Psalms|2:5  Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
 his sore displeasure.
   Psalms|2:6  Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
   Psalms|2:7  I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
 [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
   Psalms|2:8  Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine
 inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession.
   Psalms|2:9  Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash
 them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
   Psalms|2:10  Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges
 of the earth.
   Psalms|2:11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
   Psalms|2:12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish [from] the
 way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed [are] all they that
 put their trust in him.
   Psalms|3:1  A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD,
 how are they increased that trouble me! many [are] they that rise up
 against me.
   Psalms|3:2  Many [there be] which say of my soul, [There is] no help for
 him in God. Selah.

 lifter up of mine head.
   Psalms|3:4  I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of
 his holy hill. Selah.
   Psalms|3:5  I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained
 me.
   Psalms|3:6  I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have
 set [themselves] against me round about.
   Psalms|3:7  Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all
 mine enemies [upon] the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the
 ungodly.
   Psalms|3:8  Salvation [belongeth] unto the LORD: thy blessing [is] upon
 thy people. Selah.
   Psalms|4:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me
 when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me [when I was]
 in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
   Psalms|4:2  O ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into
 shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, [and] seek after leasing? Selah.
   Psalms|4:3  But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
 himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

 your bed, and be still. Selah.

 the LORD.
   Psalms|4:6  [There be] many that say, Who will show us [any] good? LORD,
 lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
   Psalms|4:7  Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time
 [that] their corn and their wine increased.
   Psalms|4:8  I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD,
 only makest me dwell in safety.
   Psalms|5:1  To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David. Give
 ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
   Psalms|5:2  Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for
 unto thee will I pray.
   Psalms|5:3  My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the
 morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.
   Psalms|5:4  For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness:
 neither shall evil dwell with thee.
   Psalms|5:5  The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all
 workers of iniquity.
   Psalms|5:6  Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will
 abhor the bloody and deceitful man.
   Psalms|5:7  But as for me, I will come [into] thy house in the multitude

 of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
   Psalms|5:8  Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine
 enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
   Psalms|5:9  For [there is] no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward
 part [is] very wickedness; their throat [is] an open sepulchre; they
 flatter with their tongue.
   Psalms|5:10  Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own
 counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they
 have rebelled against thee.
   Psalms|5:11  But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let
 them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that
 love thy name be joyful in thee.
   Psalms|5:12  For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt
 thou compass him as [with] a shield.
   Psalms|6:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, A Psalm of
 David. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot
 displeasure.
   Psalms|6:2  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I [am] weak: O LORD, heal me;
 for my bones are vexed.
   Psalms|6:3  My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
   Psalms|6:4  Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies'

 sake.
   Psalms|6:5  For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave
 who shall give thee thanks?
   Psalms|6:6  I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to
 swim; I water my couch with my tears.
   Psalms|6:7  Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because
 of all mine enemies.
   Psalms|6:8  Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath
 heard the voice of my weeping.
   Psalms|6:9  The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my
 prayer.
   Psalms|6:10  Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them
 return [and] be ashamed suddenly.
   Psalms|7:1  Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning
 the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust:
 save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
   Psalms|7:2  Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces,
 while [there is] none to deliver.
   Psalms|7:3  O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in
 my hands;
   Psalms|7:4  If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;

 (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
   Psalms|7:5  Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let him
 tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
   Psalms|7:6  Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the
 rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast
 commanded.
   Psalms|7:7  So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:
 for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
   Psalms|7:8  The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according
 to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.
   Psalms|7:9  Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but
 establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
   Psalms|7:10  My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
   Psalms|7:11  God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the
 wicked] every day.
   Psalms|7:12  If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his
 bow, and made it ready.
   Psalms|7:13  He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he
 ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
   Psalms|7:14  Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived
 mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

   Psalms|7:15  He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch
 [which] he made.
   Psalms|7:16  His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent
 dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
   Psalms|7:17  I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and
 will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
   Psalms|8:1  To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD
 our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy
 glory above the heavens.
   Psalms|8:2  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
 strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and
 the avenger.
   Psalms|8:3  When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the
 moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
   Psalms|8:4  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of
 man, that thou visitest him?
   Psalms|8:5  For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and
 hast crowned him with glory and honour.
   Psalms|8:6  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
 thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
   Psalms|8:7  All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;

   Psalms|8:8  The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and
 whatsoever] passeth through the paths of the seas.
   Psalms|8:9  O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the
 earth!
   Psalms|9:1  To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David. I
 will praise [thee], O LORD, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy
 marvellous works.
   Psalms|9:2  I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
 name, O thou most High.
   Psalms|9:3  When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish
 at thy presence.
   Psalms|9:4  For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest
 in the throne judging right.
   Psalms|9:5  Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the
 wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
   Psalms|9:6  O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and
 thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
   Psalms|9:7  But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his
 throne for judgment.
   Psalms|9:8  And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall
 minister judgment to the people in uprightness.

   Psalms|9:9  The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
 times of trouble.
   Psalms|9:10  And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:
 for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
   Psalms|9:11  Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare
 among the people his doings.
   Psalms|9:12  When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:
 he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
   Psalms|9:13  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I
 suffer] of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of
 death:
   Psalms|9:14  That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the
 daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
   Psalms|9:15  The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in
 the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
   Psalms|9:16  The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth:
 the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
   Psalms|9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations
 that forget God.
   Psalms|9:18  For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation
 of the poor shall [not] perish for ever.

   Psalms|9:19  Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be
 judged in thy sight.
   Psalms|9:20  Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know
 themselves [to be but] men. Selah.
   Psalms|10:1  Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou
 [thyself] in times of trouble?
   Psalms|10:2  The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them
 be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
   Psalms|10:3  For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth
 the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
   Psalms|10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not
 seek [after God]: God [is] not in all his thoughts.
   Psalms|10:5  His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above
 out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
   Psalms|10:6  He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I
 shall] never [be] in adversity.
   Psalms|10:7  His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his
 tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
   Psalms|10:8  He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the
 secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against
 the poor.

   Psalms|10:9  He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in
 wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into
 his net.
   Psalms|10:10  He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may
 fall by his strong ones.
   Psalms|10:11  He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth
 his face; he will never see [it].
   Psalms|10:12  Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the
 humble.
   Psalms|10:13  Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his
 heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
   Psalms|10:14  Thou hast seen [it]: for thou beholdest mischief and spite,
 to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou
 art the helper of the fatherless.
   Psalms|10:15  Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man]: seek
 out his wickedness [till] thou find none.
   Psalms|10:16  The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are
 perished out of his land.
   Psalms|10:17  LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt
 prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
   Psalms|10:18  To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of

 the earth may no more oppress.
   Psalms|11:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. In the LORD put I
 my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain?
   Psalms|11:2  For, lo, the wicked bend [their] bow, they make ready their
 arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
   Psalms|11:3  If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
   Psalms|11:4  The LORD [is] in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne [is] in
 heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
   Psalms|11:5  The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that
 loveth violence his soul hateth.
   Psalms|11:6  Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone,
 and an horrible tempest: [this shall be] the portion of their cup.
   Psalms|11:7  For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance
 doth behold the upright.
   Psalms|12:1  To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.
 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the
 children of men.
   Psalms|12:2  They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: [with]
 flattering lips [and] with a double heart do they speak.
   Psalms|12:3  The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue
 that speaketh proud things:

   Psalms|12:4  Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips
 [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?
   Psalms|12:5  For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the
 needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in safety [from
 him that] puffeth at him.
   Psalms|12:6  The words of the LORD [are] pure words: [as] silver tried in
 a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
   Psalms|12:7  Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from
 this generation for ever.
   Psalms|12:8  The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are
 exalted.
   Psalms|13:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. How long wilt thou
 forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
   Psalms|13:2  How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrow in
 my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
   Psalms|13:3  Consider [and] hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes,
 lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;
   Psalms|13:4  Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; [and]
 those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
   Psalms|13:5  But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in
 thy salvation.

   Psalms|13:6  I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully
 with me.
   Psalms|14:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath
 said in his heart, [There is] no God. They are corrupt, they have done
 abominable works, [there is] none that doeth good.
   Psalms|14:2  The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
 to see if there were any that did understand, [and] seek God.
   Psalms|14:3  They are all gone aside, they are [all] together become
 filthy: [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
   Psalms|14:4  Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
 people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.
   Psalms|14:5  There were they in great fear: for God [is] in the
 generation of the righteous.
   Psalms|14:6  Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD
 [is] his refuge.
   Psalms|14:7  Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!
 when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall
 rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad.
   Psalms|15:1  A Psalm of David. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?
 who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
   Psalms|15:2  He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and

 speaketh the truth in his heart.
   Psalms|15:3  [He that] backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to
 his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
   Psalms|15:4  In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth
 them that fear the LORD. [He that] sweareth to [his own] hurt, and changeth
 not.
   Psalms|15:5  [He that] putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh
 reward against the innocent. He that doeth these [things] shall never be
 moved.
   Psalms|16:1  Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put
 my trust.
   Psalms|16:2  [O my soul], thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my
 Lord: my goodness [extendeth] not to thee;
   Psalms|16:3  [But] to the saints that [are] in the earth, and [to] the
 excellent, in whom [is] all my delight.
   Psalms|16:4  Their sorrows shall be multiplied [that] hasten [after]
 another [god]: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up
 their names into my lips.
   Psalms|16:5  The LORD [is] the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup:
 thou maintainest my lot.
   Psalms|16:6  The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant [places]; yea, I

 have a goodly heritage.
   Psalms|16:7  I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins
 also instruct me in the night seasons.
   Psalms|16:8  I have set the LORD always before me: because [he is] at my
 right hand, I shall not be moved.
   Psalms|16:9  Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh
 also shall rest in hope.
   Psalms|16:10  For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou
 suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
   Psalms|16:11  Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence [is]
 fulness of joy; at thy right hand [there are] pleasures for evermore.
   Psalms|17:1  A prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my
 cry, give ear unto my prayer, [that goeth] not out of feigned lips.
   Psalms|17:2  Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes
 behold the things that are equal.
   Psalms|17:3  Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited [me] in the
 night; thou hast tried me, [and] shalt find nothing; I am purposed [that]
 my mouth shall not transgress.
   Psalms|17:4  Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have
 kept [me from] the paths of the destroyer.
   Psalms|17:5  Hold up my goings in thy paths, [that] my footsteps slip

 not.
   Psalms|17:6  I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God:
 incline thine ear unto me, [and hear] my speech.
   Psalms|17:7  Show thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by
 thy right hand them which put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up
 [against them].
   Psalms|17:8  Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of
 thy wings,
   Psalms|17:9  From the wicked that oppress me, [from] my deadly enemies,
 [who] compass me about.
   Psalms|17:10  They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they
 speak proudly.
   Psalms|17:11  They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set
 their eyes bowing down to the earth;
   Psalms|17:12  Like as a lion [that] is greedy of his prey, and as it were
 a young lion lurking in secret places.
   Psalms|17:13  Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my
 soul from the wicked, [which is] thy sword:
   Psalms|17:14  From men [which are] thy hand, O LORD, from men of the
 world, [which have] their portion in [this] life, and whose belly thou
 fillest with thy hid [treasure]: they are full of children, and leave the

 rest of their [substance] to their babes.
   Psalms|17:15  As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall
 be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
   Psalms|18:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, the servant of
 the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day [that]
 the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand
 of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
   Psalms|18:2  The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my
 God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my
 salvation, [and] my high tower.
   Psalms|18:3  I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so
 shall I be saved from mine enemies.
   Psalms|18:4  The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly
 men made me afraid.
   Psalms|18:5  The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death
 prevented me.
   Psalms|18:6  In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my
 God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him,
 [even] into his ears.
   Psalms|18:7  Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of
 the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

   Psalms|18:8  There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of
 his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
   Psalms|18:9  He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was]
 under his feet.
   Psalms|18:10  And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly
 upon the wings of the wind.
   Psalms|18:11  He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about
 him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
   Psalms|18:12  At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds
 passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
   Psalms|18:13  The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest
 gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
   Psalms|18:14  Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he
 shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
   Psalms|18:15  Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations
 of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the
 breath of thy nostrils.
   Psalms|18:16  He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many
 waters.
   Psalms|18:17  He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which
 hated me: for they were too strong for me.

   Psalms|18:18  They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD
 was my stay.
   Psalms|18:19  He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered
 me, because he delighted in me.
   Psalms|18:20  The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;
 according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
   Psalms|18:21  For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly
 departed from my God.
   Psalms|18:22  For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put
 away his statutes from me.
   Psalms|18:23  I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine
 iniquity.
   Psalms|18:24  Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my
 righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
   Psalms|18:25  With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with an
 upright man thou wilt show thyself upright;
   Psalms|18:26  With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the
 froward thou wilt show thyself froward.
   Psalms|18:27  For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring
 down high looks.
   Psalms|18:28  For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will

 enlighten my darkness.
   Psalms|18:29  For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have
 I leaped over a wall.
   Psalms|18:30  [As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD is
 tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.
   Psalms|18:31  For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our
 God?
   Psalms|18:32  [It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my
 way perfect.
   Psalms|18:33  He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon
 my high places.
   Psalms|18:34  He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is
 broken by mine arms.
   Psalms|18:35  Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and
 thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
   Psalms|18:36  Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not
 slip.
   Psalms|18:37  I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither
 did I turn again till they were consumed.
   Psalms|18:38  I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they
 are fallen under my feet.

   Psalms|18:39  For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou
 hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
   Psalms|18:40  Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I
 might destroy them that hate me.
   Psalms|18:41  They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto
 the LORD, but he answered them not.
   Psalms|18:42  Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I
 did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
   Psalms|18:43  Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people;
 [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not
 known shall serve me.
   Psalms|18:44  As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the
 strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
   Psalms|18:45  The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their
 close places.
   Psalms|18:46  The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God
 of my salvation be exalted.
   Psalms|18:47  [It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under
 me.
   Psalms|18:48  He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up
 above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the

 violent man.
   Psalms|18:49  Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the
 heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
   Psalms|18:50  Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and showeth mercy
 to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
   Psalms|19:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare
 the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
   Psalms|19:2  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth
 knowledge.
   Psalms|19:3  [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is
 not heard.
   Psalms|19:4  Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their
 words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the
 sun,
   Psalms|19:5  Which [is] as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, [and]
 rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
   Psalms|19:6  His going forth [is] from the end of the heaven, and his
 circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat
 thereof.
   Psalms|19:7  The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the
 testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple.

   Psalms|19:8  The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart:
 the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.
   Psalms|19:9  The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the
 judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether.
   Psalms|19:10  More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much
 fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
   Psalms|19:11  Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of
 them [there is] great reward.
   Psalms|19:12  Who can understand [his] errors? cleanse thou me from
 secret [faults].
   Psalms|19:13  Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; let
 them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be
 innocent from the great transgression.
   Psalms|19:14  Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart,
 be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
   Psalms|20:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee
 in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee;
   Psalms|20:2  Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out
 of Zion;
   Psalms|20:3  Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
 Selah.

   Psalms|20:4  Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy
 counsel.
   Psalms|20:5  We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God
 we will set up [our] banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions.
   Psalms|20:6  Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear
 him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.
   Psalms|20:7  Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will
 remember the name of the LORD our God.
   Psalms|20:8  They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and
 stand upright.
   Psalms|20:9  Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
   Psalms|21:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy
 in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
   Psalms|21:2  Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not
 withholden the request of his lips. Selah.
   Psalms|21:3  For thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: thou
 settest a crown of pure gold on his head.
   Psalms|21:4  He asked life of thee, [and] thou gavest [it] him, [even]
 length of days for ever and ever.
   Psalms|21:5  His glory [is] great in thy salvation: honour and majesty
 hast thou laid upon him.

   Psalms|21:6  For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made
 him exceeding glad with thy countenance.
   Psalms|21:7  For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of
 the most High he shall not be moved.
   Psalms|21:8  Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand
 shall find out those that hate thee.
   Psalms|21:9  Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of thine
 anger: the LORD shall swallow them up in his wrath, and the fire shall
 devour them.
   Psalms|21:10  Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their
 seed from among the children of men.
   Psalms|21:11  For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a
 mischievous device, [which] they are not able [to perform].
   Psalms|21:12  Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, [when] thou
 shalt make ready [thine arrows] upon thy strings against the face of them.
   Psalms|21:13  Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: [so] will we
 sing and praise thy power.
   Psalms|22:1  To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of
 David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far
 from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
   Psalms|22:2  O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in

 the night season, and am not silent.
   Psalms|22:3  But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of
 Israel.
   Psalms|22:4  Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst
 deliver them.
   Psalms|22:5  They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in
 thee, and were not confounded.
   Psalms|22:6  But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and
 despised of the people.
   Psalms|22:7  All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the
 lip, they shake the head, [saying],
   Psalms|22:8  He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him
 deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
   Psalms|22:9  But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst
 make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts.
   Psalms|22:10  I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from
 my mother's belly.
   Psalms|22:11  Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is]
 none to help.
   Psalms|22:12  Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have
 beset me round.

   Psalms|22:13  They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and
 a roaring lion.
   Psalms|22:14  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of
 joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
   Psalms|22:15  My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue
 cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
   Psalms|22:16  For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have
 enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
   Psalms|22:17  I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
   Psalms|22:18  They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my
 vesture.
   Psalms|22:19  But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste
 thee to help me.
   Psalms|22:20  Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power
 of the dog.
   Psalms|22:21  Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from
 the horns of the unicorns.
   Psalms|22:22  I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of
 the congregation will I praise thee.
   Psalms|22:23  Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of
 Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

   Psalms|22:24  For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
 afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto
 him, he heard.
   Psalms|22:25  My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I
 will pay my vows before them that fear him.
   Psalms|22:26  The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the
 LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
   Psalms|22:27  All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the
 LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
   Psalms|22:28  For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S: and he [is] the governor
 among the nations.
   Psalms|22:29  All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship:
 all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep
 alive his own soul.
   Psalms|22:30  A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord
 for a generation.
   Psalms|22:31  They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a
 people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].
   Psalms|23:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not
 want.
   Psalms|23:2  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me

 beside the still waters.
   Psalms|23:3  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of
 righteousness for his name's sake.
   Psalms|23:4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
 death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff
 they comfort me.
   Psalms|23:5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
 enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
   Psalms|23:6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
 life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
   Psalms|24:1  A Psalm of David. The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness
 thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
   Psalms|24:2  For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it
 upon the floods.
   Psalms|24:3  Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall
 stand in his holy place?
   Psalms|24:4  He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not
 lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
   Psalms|24:5  He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and
 righteousness from the God of his salvation.
   Psalms|24:6  This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek

 thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
   Psalms|24:7  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
 everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
   Psalms|24:8  Who [is] this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the
 LORD mighty in battle.

 everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
   Psalms|24:10  Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he [is] the
 King of glory. Selah.
   Psalms|25:1  [A Psalm] of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
   Psalms|25:2  O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not
 mine enemies triumph over me.
   Psalms|25:3  Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be
 ashamed which transgress without cause.
   Psalms|25:4  Show me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.
   Psalms|25:5  Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou [art] the God
 of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
   Psalms|25:6  Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy
 lovingkindnesses; for they [have been] ever of old.
   Psalms|25:7  Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
 according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD.

   Psalms|25:8  Good and upright [is] the LORD: therefore will he teach
 sinners in the way.
   Psalms|25:9  The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he
 teach his way.
   Psalms|25:10  All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such
 as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
   Psalms|25:11  For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it
 [is] great.
   Psalms|25:12  What man [is] he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach
 in the way [that] he shall choose.
   Psalms|25:13  His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit
 the earth.

 will show them his covenant.

 sins.

 with cruel hatred.

 thee.
   Psalms|25:22  Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
   Psalms|26:1  [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in
 mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; [therefore] I shall not
 slide.

   Psalms|26:3  For thy lovingkindness [is] before mine eyes: and I have
 walked in thy truth.
   Psalms|26:4  I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with
 dissemblers.
   Psalms|26:5  I have hated the congregation of evildoers; and will not sit
 with the wicked.
   Psalms|26:6  I will wash mine hands in innocency: so will I compass thine
 altar, O LORD:
   Psalms|26:7  That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell

 of all thy wondrous works.
   Psalms|26:8  LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the
 place where thine honour dwelleth.
   Psalms|26:9  Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloody
 men:
   Psalms|26:10  In whose hands [is] mischief, and their right hand is full
 of bribes.
   Psalms|26:11  But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me,
 and be merciful unto me.
   Psalms|26:12  My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations
 will I bless the LORD.

 whom shall I fear? the LORD [is] the strength of my life; of whom shall I
 be afraid?

 fear: though war should rise against me, in this [will] I [be] confident.
   Psalms|27:4  One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek
 after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
 to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

   Psalms|27:5  For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
 in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a
 rock.
   Psalms|27:6  And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies
 round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
 I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
   Psalms|27:7  Hear, O LORD, [when] I cry with my voice: have mercy also
 upon me, and answer me.
   Psalms|27:8  [When thou saidst], Seek ye my face; my heart said unto
 thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

 anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of
 my salvation.

 take me up.
   Psalms|27:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path,
 because of mine enemies.

 false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
   Psalms|27:13  [I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness
 of the LORD in the land of the living.

   Psalms|27:14  Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall
 strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

 go down into the pit.

 when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.
   Psalms|28:3  Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of
 iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief [is] in their
 hearts.
   Psalms|28:4  Give them according to their deeds, and according to the
 wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands;
 render to them their desert.
   Psalms|28:5  Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the
 operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
   Psalms|28:6  Blessed [be] the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my

 thundereth: the LORD [is] upon many waters.
   Psalms|29:4  The voice of the LORD [is] powerful; the voice of the LORD
 [is] full of majesty.
   Psalms|29:5  The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD
 breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

 like a young unicorn.

 glory.

 for ever.

 made my foes to rejoice over me.
   Psalms|30:2  O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
   Psalms|30:3  O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou
 hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
   Psalms|30:4  Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at
 the remembrance of his holiness.
   Psalms|30:5  For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favour [is]
 life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.
   Psalms|30:6  And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
   Psalms|30:7  LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand
 strong: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.
   Psalms|30:8  I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made
 supplication.
   Psalms|30:9  What profit [is there] in my blood, when I go down to the
 pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

   Psalms|30:10  Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my
 helper.
   Psalms|30:11  Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast
 put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
   Psalms|30:12  To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not
 be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
   Psalms|31:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do
 I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
   Psalms|31:2  Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my
 strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
   Psalms|31:3  For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy
 name's sake lead me, and guide me.
   Psalms|31:4  Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me:
 for thou [art] my strength.
   Psalms|31:5  Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O
 LORD God of truth.
   Psalms|31:6  I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in
 the LORD.
   Psalms|31:7  I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast
 considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
   Psalms|31:8  And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou

 hast set my feet in a large room.
   Psalms|31:9  Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is
 consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.
   Psalms|31:10  For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:
 my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
   Psalms|31:11  I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially
 among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me
 without fled from me.
   Psalms|31:12  I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a
 broken vessel.
   Psalms|31:13  For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on every
 side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take
 away my life.
   Psalms|31:14  But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God.
   Psalms|31:15  My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of
 mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
   Psalms|31:16  Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy
 mercies' sake.
   Psalms|31:17  Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee:
 let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the grave.
   Psalms|31:18  Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous

 things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
   Psalms|31:19  [Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up
 for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in
 thee before the sons of men!
   Psalms|31:20  Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the
 pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife
 of tongues.
   Psalms|31:21  Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath showed me his marvellous
 kindness in a strong city.
   Psalms|31:22  For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine
 eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried
 unto thee.
   Psalms|31:23  O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD
 preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
   Psalms|31:24  Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all
 ye that hope in the LORD.
   Psalms|32:1  [A Psalm] of David, Maschil. Blessed [is he whose]
 transgression [is] forgiven, [whose] sin [is] covered.

 iniquity, and in whose spirit [there is] no guile.
   Psalms|32:3  When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring

 all the day long.
   Psalms|32:4  For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is
 turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
   Psalms|32:5  I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I
 not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou
 forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
   Psalms|32:6  For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a
 time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they
 shall not come nigh unto him.
   Psalms|32:7  Thou [art] my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from
 trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
   Psalms|32:8  I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou
 shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.
   Psalms|32:9  Be ye not as the horse, [or] as the mule, [which] have no
 understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they
 come near unto thee.
   Psalms|32:10  Many sorrows [shall be] to the wicked: but he that trusteth
 in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about.
   Psalms|32:11  Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout
 for joy, all [ye that are] upright in heart.

 for the upright.
   Psalms|33:2  Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery
 [and] an instrument of ten strings.
   Psalms|33:3  Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
   Psalms|33:4  For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are
 done] in truth.
   Psalms|33:5  He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of
 the goodness of the LORD.
   Psalms|33:6  By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the
 host of them by the breath of his mouth.
   Psalms|33:7  He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he
 layeth up the depth in storehouses.
   Psalms|33:8  Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of
 the world stand in awe of him.
   Psalms|33:9  For he spake, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood
 fast.
   Psalms|33:10  The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he
 maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
   Psalms|33:11  The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of
 his heart to all generations.
   Psalms|33:12  Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and] the

 people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
   Psalms|33:13  The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of
 men.
   Psalms|33:14  From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the
 inhabitants of the earth.
   Psalms|33:15  He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their
 works.
   Psalms|33:16  There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a
 mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
   Psalms|33:17  An horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he
 deliver [any] by his great strength.
   Psalms|33:18  Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him,
 upon them that hope in his mercy;
   Psalms|33:19  To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in
 famine.
   Psalms|33:20  Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our
 shield.
   Psalms|33:21  For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted
 in his holy name.
   Psalms|33:22  Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in
 thee.  34:1  [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before

 Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at
 all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.
   Psalms|34:2  My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall
 hear [thereof], and be glad.
   Psalms|34:3  O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name
 together.
   Psalms|34:4  I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from
 all my fears.
   Psalms|34:5  They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces
 were not ashamed.
   Psalms|34:6  This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him
 out of all his troubles.
   Psalms|34:7  The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear
 him, and delivereth them.
   Psalms|34:8  O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the
 man [that] trusteth in him.
   Psalms|34:9  O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to
 them that fear him.
   Psalms|34:10  The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that
 seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
   Psalms|34:11  Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the

 fear of the LORD.
   Psalms|34:12  What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many]
 days, that he may see good?
   Psalms|34:13  Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking
 guile.
   Psalms|34:14  Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
   Psalms|34:15  The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears
 [are open] unto their cry.
   Psalms|34:16  The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut
 off the remembrance of them from the earth.
   Psalms|34:17  [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth
 them out of all their troubles.
   Psalms|34:18  The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
 and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
   Psalms|34:19  Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD
 delivereth him out of them all.
   Psalms|34:20  He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
   Psalms|34:21  Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the
 righteous shall be desolate.
   Psalms|34:22  The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of
 them that trust in him shall be desolate.

   Psalms|35:1  [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them that
 strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
   Psalms|35:2  Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
   Psalms|35:3  Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them
 that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation.
   Psalms|35:4  Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my
 soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
   Psalms|35:5  Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of
 the LORD chase [them].
   Psalms|35:6  Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the
 LORD persecute them.
   Psalms|35:7  For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit,
 [which] without cause they have digged for my soul.
   Psalms|35:8  Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net
 that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
   Psalms|35:9  And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in
 his salvation.
   Psalms|35:10  All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee,
 which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the
 poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
   Psalms|35:11  False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge

 [things] that I knew not.
   Psalms|35:12  They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my
 soul.
   Psalms|35:13  But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was]
 sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine
 own bosom.
   Psalms|35:14  I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or]
 brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother.
   Psalms|35:15  But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered
 themselves together: [yea], the abjects gathered themselves together
 against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
   Psalms|35:16  With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me
 with their teeth.
   Psalms|35:17  Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their
 destructions, my darling from the lions.
   Psalms|35:18  I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will
 praise thee among much people.
   Psalms|35:19  Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over
 me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
   Psalms|35:20  For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters
 against [them that are] quiet in the land.

   Psalms|35:21  Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said,
 Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it].
   Psalms|35:22  [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be
 not far from me.
   Psalms|35:23  Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my
 cause, my God and my Lord.
   Psalms|35:24  Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness;
 and let them not rejoice over me.
   Psalms|35:25  Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it:
 let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
   Psalms|35:26  Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that
 rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that
 magnify [themselves] against me.
   Psalms|35:27  Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my
 righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified,
 which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
   Psalms|35:28  And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy
 praise all the day long.
   Psalms|36:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David the servant of the
 LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, [that there
 is] no fear of God before his eyes.

   Psalms|36:2  For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his
 iniquity be found to be hateful.
   Psalms|36:3  The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit: he hath
 left off to be wise, [and] to do good.
   Psalms|36:4  He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a
 way [that is] not good; he abhorreth not evil.
   Psalms|36:5  Thy mercy, O LORD, [is] in the heavens; [and] thy
 faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.
   Psalms|36:6  Thy righteousness [is] like the great mountains; thy
 judgments [are] a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
   Psalms|36:7  How excellent [is] thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the
 children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
   Psalms|36:8  They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy
 house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
   Psalms|36:9  For with thee [is] the fountain of life: in thy light shall
 we see light.
   Psalms|36:10  O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and
 thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
   Psalms|36:11  Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the
 hand of the wicked remove me.
   Psalms|36:12  There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast

 down, and shall not be able to rise.
   Psalms|37:1  [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers,
 neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
   Psalms|37:2  For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither
 as the green herb.
   Psalms|37:3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the
 land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
   Psalms|37:4  Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the
 desires of thine heart.
   Psalms|37:5  Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he
 shall bring [it] to pass.
   Psalms|37:6  And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and
 thy judgment as the noonday.
   Psalms|37:7  Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not
 thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who
 bringeth wicked devices to pass.
   Psalms|37:8  Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any
 wise to do evil.
   Psalms|37:9  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the
 LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
   Psalms|37:10  For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]:

 yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].
   Psalms|37:11  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight
 themselves in the abundance of peace.
   Psalms|37:12  The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him
 with his teeth.
   Psalms|37:13  The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is
 coming.
   Psalms|37:14  The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their
 bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright
 conversation.
   Psalms|37:15  Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their
 bows shall be broken.
   Psalms|37:16  A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the
 riches of many wicked.
   Psalms|37:17  For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD
 upholdeth the righteous.
   Psalms|37:18  The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their
 inheritance shall be for ever.
   Psalms|37:19  They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days
 of famine they shall be satisfied.
   Psalms|37:20  But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD

 [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they
 consume away.
   Psalms|37:21  The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the
 righteous showeth mercy, and giveth.
   Psalms|37:22  For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth;
 and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.
   Psalms|37:23  The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he
 delighteth in his way.
   Psalms|37:24  Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the
 LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
   Psalms|37:25  I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen
 the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
   Psalms|37:26  [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is]
 blessed.
   Psalms|37:27  Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
   Psalms|37:28  For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints;
 they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
   Psalms|37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for
 ever.
   Psalms|37:30  The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
 talketh of judgment.

   Psalms|37:31  The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps
 shall slide.
   Psalms|37:32  The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
   Psalms|37:33  The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him
 when he is judged.
   Psalms|37:34  Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee
 to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
   Psalms|37:35  I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading
 himself like a green bay tree.
   Psalms|37:36  Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought
 him, but he could not be found.
   Psalms|37:37  Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end
 of [that] man [is] peace.
   Psalms|37:38  But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end
 of the wicked shall be cut off.
   Psalms|37:39  But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he
 is] their strength in the time of trouble.
   Psalms|37:40  And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall
 deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
   Psalms|38:1  A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me
 not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

   Psalms|38:2  For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me
 sore.
   Psalms|38:3  [There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;
 neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.
   Psalms|38:4  For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy
 burden they are too heavy for me.
   Psalms|38:5  My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.
   Psalms|38:6  I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all
 the day long.
   Psalms|38:7  For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease]: and
 [there is] no soundness in my flesh.
   Psalms|38:8  I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the
 disquietness of my heart.
   Psalms|38:9  Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not
 hid from thee.
   Psalms|38:10  My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light
 of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
   Psalms|38:11  My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my
 kinsmen stand afar off.
   Psalms|38:12  They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me]: and
 they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all

 the day long.
   Psalms|38:13  But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb
 man [that] openeth not his mouth.
   Psalms|38:14  Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth
 [are] no reproofs.
   Psalms|38:15  For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my
 God.
   Psalms|38:16  For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice
 over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.
   Psalms|38:17  For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually
 before me.
   Psalms|38:18  For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my
 sin.
   Psalms|38:19  But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and
 they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
   Psalms|38:20  They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries;
 because I follow [the thing that] good [is].
   Psalms|38:21  Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
   Psalms|38:22  Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
   Psalms|39:1  To the chief Musician, [even] to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David.
 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will

 keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
   Psalms|39:2  I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, [even] from good;
 and my sorrow was stirred.
   Psalms|39:3  My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire
 burned: [then] spake I with my tongue,
   Psalms|39:4  LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days,
 what it [is; that] I may know how frail I [am].
   Psalms|39:5  Behold, thou hast made my days [as] an handbreadth; and mine
 age [is] as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state [is]
 altogether vanity. Selah.
   Psalms|39:6  Surely every man walketh in a vain show: surely they are
 disquieted in vain: he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall
 gather them.
   Psalms|39:7  And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope [is] in thee.
   Psalms|39:8  Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the
 reproach of the foolish.
   Psalms|39:9  I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst [it].
   Psalms|39:10  Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow
 of thine hand.
   Psalms|39:11  When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou
 makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man [is]

 vanity. Selah.
   Psalms|39:12  Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not
 thy peace at my tears: for I [am] a stranger with thee, [and] a sojourner,
 as all my fathers [were].
   Psalms|39:13  O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence,
 and be no more.
   Psalms|40:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. I waited patiently
 for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
   Psalms|40:2  He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the
 miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings.
   Psalms|40:3  And he hath put a new song in my mouth, [even] praise unto
 our God: many shall see [it], and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
   Psalms|40:4  Blessed [is] that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and
 respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
   Psalms|40:5  Many, O LORD my God, [are] thy wonderful works [which] thou
 hast done, and thy thoughts [which are] to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned
 up in order unto thee: [if] I would declare and speak [of them], they are
 more than can be numbered.
   Psalms|40:6  Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast
 thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
   Psalms|40:7  Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book [it is]

 written of me,
   Psalms|40:8  I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law [is] within
 my heart.
   Psalms|40:9  I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo,
 I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
   Psalms|40:10  I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have
 declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy
 lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
   Psalms|40:11  Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let
 thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
   Psalms|40:12  For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine
 iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they
 are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
   Psalms|40:13  Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to
 help me.
   Psalms|40:14  Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after
 my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that
 wish me evil.
   Psalms|40:15  Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say
 unto me, Aha, aha.
   Psalms|40:16  Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

 let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
   Psalms|40:17  But I [am] poor and needy; [yet] the Lord thinketh upon me:
 thou [art] my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
   Psalms|41:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he
 that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
   Psalms|41:2  The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he
 shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the
 will of his enemies.
   Psalms|41:3  The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:
 thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
   Psalms|41:4  I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have
 sinned against thee.
   Psalms|41:5  Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his
 name perish?
   Psalms|41:6  And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart
 gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
   Psalms|41:7  All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do
 they devise my hurt.
   Psalms|41:8  An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and
 [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
   Psalms|41:9  Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did

 eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
   Psalms|41:10  But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up,
 that I may requite them.
   Psalms|41:11  By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy
 doth not triumph over me.
   Psalms|41:12  And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and
 settest me before thy face for ever.
   Psalms|41:13  Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and
 to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
   Psalms|42:1  To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As
 the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O
 God.
   Psalms|42:2  My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I
 come and appear before God?
   Psalms|42:3  My tears have been my meat day and night, while they
 continually say unto me, Where [is] thy God?
   Psalms|42:4  When I remember these [things], I pour out my soul in me:
 for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God,
 with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
   Psalms|42:5  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and [why] art thou
 disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him [for] the

 help of his countenance.
   Psalms|42:6  O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I
 remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill
 Mizar.
   Psalms|42:7  Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all
 thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
   Psalms|42:8  [Yet] the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the
 daytime, and in the night his song [shall be] with me, [and] my prayer unto
 the God of my life.
   Psalms|42:9  I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why
 go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
   Psalms|42:10  [As] with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me;
 while they say daily unto me, Where [is] thy God?
   Psalms|42:11  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou
 disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who
 is] the health of my countenance, and my God.
   Psalms|43:1  Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly
 nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
   Psalms|43:2  For thou [art] the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me
 off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
   Psalms|43:3  O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let

 them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
   Psalms|43:4  Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding
 joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God.
   Psalms|43:5  Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou
 disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the
 health of my countenance, and my God.
   Psalms|44:1  To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil. We
 have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, [what] work thou
 didst in their days, in the times of old.
   Psalms|44:2  [How] thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and
 plantedst them; [how] thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
   Psalms|44:3  For they got not the land in possession by their own sword,
 neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and
 the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
   Psalms|44:4  Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.
   Psalms|44:5  Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name
 will we tread them under that rise up against us.
   Psalms|44:6  For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save
 me.
   Psalms|44:7  But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them
 to shame that hated us.

   Psalms|44:8  In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for
 ever. Selah.
   Psalms|44:9  But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not
 forth with our armies.
   Psalms|44:10  Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which
 hate us spoil for themselves.
   Psalms|44:11  Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and
 hast scattered us among the heathen.
   Psalms|44:12  Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase
 [thy wealth] by their price.
   Psalms|44:13  Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a
 derision to them that are round about us.
   Psalms|44:14  Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the
 head among the people.
   Psalms|44:15  My confusion [is] continually before me, and the shame of
 my face hath covered me,
   Psalms|44:16  For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by
 reason of the enemy and avenger.
   Psalms|44:17  All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee,
 neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
   Psalms|44:18  Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps

 declined from thy way;
   Psalms|44:19  Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons,
 and covered us with the shadow of death.
   Psalms|44:20  If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out
 our hands to a strange god;
   Psalms|44:21  Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets
 of the heart.
   Psalms|44:22  Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are
 counted as sheep for the slaughter.
   Psalms|44:23  Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off
 for ever.
   Psalms|44:24  Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our
 affliction and our oppression?
   Psalms|44:25  For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth
 unto the earth.
   Psalms|44:26  Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
   Psalms|45:1  To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of
 Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I
 speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue [is] the
 pen of a ready writer.
   Psalms|45:2  Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured

 into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
   Psalms|45:3  Gird thy sword upon [thy] thigh, O [most] mighty, with thy
 glory and thy majesty.

 meekness [and] righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible
 things.
   Psalms|45:5  Thine arrows [are] sharp in the heart of the king's enemies;
 [whereby] the people fall under thee.
   Psalms|45:6  Thy throne, O God, [is] for ever and ever: the sceptre of
 thy kingdom [is] a right sceptre.
   Psalms|45:7  Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore
 God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
 fellows.
   Psalms|45:8  All thy garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia,
 out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
   Psalms|45:9  Kings' daughters [were] among thy honourable women: upon thy
 right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.
   Psalms|45:10  Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear;
 forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;
   Psalms|45:11  So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he [is]
 thy Lord; and worship thou him.

   Psalms|45:12  And the daughter of Tyre [shall be there] with a gift;
 [even] the rich among the people shall entreat thy favour.
   Psalms|45:13  The king's daughter [is] all glorious within: her clothing
 [is] of wrought gold.
   Psalms|45:14  She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of
 needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought
 unto thee.
   Psalms|45:15  With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they
 shall enter into the king's palace.
   Psalms|45:16  Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou
 mayest make princes in all the earth.

 the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

 refuge. Selah.
   Psalms|46:8  Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath
 made in the earth.
   Psalms|46:9  He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he
 breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot
 in the fire.
   Psalms|46:10  Be still, and know that I [am] God: I will be exalted among
 the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

 refuge. Selah.

 your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

 over all the earth.

 our feet.

 Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

 understanding.

 people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth [belong] unto
 God: he is greatly exalted.

 LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain
 of his holiness.
   Psalms|48:2  Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is]
 mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
   Psalms|48:3  God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
   Psalms|48:4  For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
   Psalms|48:5  They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled,

 [and] hasted away.
   Psalms|48:6  Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in
 travail.
   Psalms|48:7  Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.

 hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
   Psalms|48:9  We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst
 of thy temple.
   Psalms|48:10  According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the
 ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

 may tell [it] to the generation following.
   Psalms|48:14  For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our
 guide [even] unto death.
   Psalms|49:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Hear
 this, all [ye] people; give ear, all [ye] inhabitants of the world:
   Psalms|49:2  Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

   Psalms|49:3  My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my
 heart [shall be] of understanding.

 saying upon the harp.
   Psalms|49:5  Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, [when] the
 iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?
   Psalms|49:6  They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the
 multitude of their riches;
   Psalms|49:7  None [of them] can by any means redeem his brother, nor give
 to God a ransom for him:
   Psalms|49:8  (For the redemption of their soul [is] precious, and it
 ceaseth for ever:)
   Psalms|49:9  That he should still live for ever, [and] not see
 corruption.
   Psalms|49:10  For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the
 brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
   Psalms|49:11  Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall
 continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they
 call [their] lands after their own names.
   Psalms|49:12  Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is like
 the beasts [that] perish.

   Psalms|49:13  This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity
 approve their sayings. Selah.
   Psalms|49:14  Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on
 them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and
 their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
   Psalms|49:15  But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave:
 for he shall receive me. Selah.
   Psalms|49:16  Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of
 his house is increased;
   Psalms|49:17  For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory
 shall not descend after him.
   Psalms|49:18  Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will
 praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
   Psalms|49:19  He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall
 never see light.
   Psalms|49:20  Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the
 beasts [that] perish.
   Psalms|50:1  A Psalm of Asaph. The mighty God, [even] the LORD, hath
 spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down
 thereof.
   Psalms|50:2  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

   Psalms|50:3  Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall
 devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.
   Psalms|50:4  He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth,
 that he may judge his people.
   Psalms|50:5  Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a
 covenant with me by sacrifice.
   Psalms|50:6  And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God
 [is] judge himself. Selah.
   Psalms|50:7  Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will
 testify against thee: I [am] God, [even] thy God.
   Psalms|50:8  I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt
 offerings, [to have been] continually before me.
   Psalms|50:9  I will take no bullock out of thy house, [nor] he goats out
 of thy folds.
   Psalms|50:10  For every beast of the forest [is] mine, [and] the cattle
 upon a thousand hills.
   Psalms|50:11  I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts
 of the field [are] mine.
   Psalms|50:12  If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world [is]
 mine, and the fulness thereof.
   Psalms|50:13  Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

   Psalms|50:14  Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most
 High:
   Psalms|50:15  And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver
 thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
   Psalms|50:16  But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to
 declare my statutes, or [that] thou shouldest take my covenant in thy
 mouth?
   Psalms|50:17  Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind
 thee.
   Psalms|50:18  When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him,
 and hast been partaker with adulterers.
   Psalms|50:19  Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth
 deceit.
   Psalms|50:20  Thou sittest [and] speakest against thy brother; thou
 slanderest thine own mother's son.
   Psalms|50:21  These [things] hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou
 thoughtest that I was altogether [such an one] as thyself: [but] I will
 reprove thee, and set [them] in order before thine eyes.
   Psalms|50:22  Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear [you] in
 pieces, and [there be] none to deliver.
   Psalms|50:23  Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that

 ordereth [his] conversation [aright] will I show the salvation of God.
   Psalms|51:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, when Nathan the
 prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy upon
 me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of
 thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
   Psalms|51:2  Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from
 my sin.
   Psalms|51:3  For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin [is] ever
 before me.
   Psalms|51:4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done [this] evil
 in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, [and] be
 clear when thou judgest.
   Psalms|51:5  Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother
 conceive me.
   Psalms|51:6  Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the
 hidden [part] thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
   Psalms|51:7  Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I
 shall be whiter than snow.
   Psalms|51:8  Make me to hear joy and gladness; [that] the bones [which]
 thou hast broken may rejoice.
   Psalms|51:9  Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine

 iniquities.
   Psalms|51:10  Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit
 within me.
   Psalms|51:11  Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy
 spirit from me.
   Psalms|51:12  Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me
 [with thy] free spirit.
   Psalms|51:13  [Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners
 shall be converted unto thee.
   Psalms|51:14  Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my
 salvation: [and] my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.
   Psalms|51:15  O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth
 thy praise.
   Psalms|51:16  For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give [it]:
 thou delightest not in burnt offering.
   Psalms|51:17  The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit: a broken and a
 contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
   Psalms|51:18  Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the
 walls of Jerusalem.
   Psalms|51:19  Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of
 righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall

 they offer bullocks upon thine altar.
   Psalms|52:1  To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when
 Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to
 the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty
 man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.
   Psalms|52:2  Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
 deceitfully.
   Psalms|52:3  Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to
 speak righteousness. Selah.
   Psalms|52:4  Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.
   Psalms|52:5  God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee
 away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee out of the
 land of the living. Selah.
   Psalms|52:6  The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at
 him:
   Psalms|52:7  Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but
 trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his
 wickedness.
   Psalms|52:8  But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I
 trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
   Psalms|52:9  I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]:

 and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
   Psalms|53:1  To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
 David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are
 they, and have done abominable iniquity: [there is] none that doeth good.
   Psalms|53:2  God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see
 if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God.
   Psalms|53:3  Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become
 filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one.
   Psalms|53:4  Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my
 people [as] they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
   Psalms|53:5  There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was: for God
 hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee: thou hast
 put [them] to shame, because God hath despised them.
   Psalms|53:6  Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion!
 When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice,
 [and] Israel shall be glad.
   Psalms|54:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
 David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself
 with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength.
   Psalms|54:2  Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.
   Psalms|54:3  For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek

 after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
   Psalms|54:4  Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them that
 uphold my soul.
   Psalms|54:5  He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy
 truth.
   Psalms|54:6  I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O
 LORD; for [it is] good.
   Psalms|54:7  For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye
 hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies.
   Psalms|55:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of
 David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my
 supplication.
   Psalms|55:2  Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and
 make a noise;
   Psalms|55:3  Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression
 of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
   Psalms|55:4  My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death
 are fallen upon me.
   Psalms|55:5  Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath
 overwhelmed me.
   Psalms|55:6  And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then]

 would I fly away, and be at rest.
   Psalms|55:7  Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the
 wilderness. Selah.
   Psalms|55:8  I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest.
   Psalms|55:9  Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen
 violence and strife in the city.
   Psalms|55:10  Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
 mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.
   Psalms|55:11  Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile
 depart not from her streets.
   Psalms|55:12  For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I
 could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that] did magnify
 [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
   Psalms|55:13  But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine
 acquaintance.
   Psalms|55:14  We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house
 of God in company.
   Psalms|55:15  Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick
 into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them.
   Psalms|55:16  As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save
 me.

   Psalms|55:17  Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry
 aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
   Psalms|55:18  He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that
 was] against me: for there were many with me.
   Psalms|55:19  God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of
 old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
   Psalms|55:20  He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace
 with him: he hath broken his covenant.
   Psalms|55:21  [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war
 [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn
 swords.
   Psalms|55:22  Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee:
 he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
   Psalms|55:23  But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of
 destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;
 but I will trust in thee.
   Psalms|56:1  To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of
 David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God:
 for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
   Psalms|56:2  Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up: for [they be] many
 that fight against me, O thou most High.

   Psalms|56:3  What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
   Psalms|56:4  In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I
 will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
   Psalms|56:5  Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts [are]
 against me for evil.
   Psalms|56:6  They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they
 mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
   Psalms|56:7  Shall they escape by iniquity? in [thine] anger cast down
 the people, O God.
   Psalms|56:8  Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy
 bottle: [are they] not in thy book?
   Psalms|56:9  When I cry [unto thee], then shall mine enemies turn back:
 this I know; for God [is] for me.
   Psalms|56:10  In God will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise
 [his] word.
   Psalms|56:11  In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man
 can do unto me.
   Psalms|56:12  Thy vows [are] upon me, O God: I will render praises unto
 thee.
   Psalms|56:13  For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [wilt] not
 [thou deliver] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the

 light of the living?
   Psalms|57:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he
 fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto
 me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I
 make my refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast.
   Psalms|57:2  I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all
 things] for me.
   Psalms|57:3  He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach
 of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and
 his truth.
   Psalms|57:4  My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that
 are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and
 arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
   Psalms|57:5  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory
 [be] above all the earth.
   Psalms|57:6  They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed
 down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are
 fallen [themselves]. Selah.
   Psalms|57:7  My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and
 give praise.
   Psalms|57:8  Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself]

 will awake early.
   Psalms|57:9  I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing
 unto thee among the nations.
   Psalms|57:10  For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy truth
 unto the clouds.
   Psalms|57:11  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory
 [be] above all the earth.
   Psalms|58:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye
 indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye
 sons of men?
   Psalms|58:2  Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of
 your hands in the earth.
   Psalms|58:3  The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as
 soon as they be born, speaking lies.
   Psalms|58:4  Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they are]
 like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;
   Psalms|58:5  Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming
 never so wisely.
   Psalms|58:6  Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the
 great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
   Psalms|58:7  Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually: [when]

 he bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
   Psalms|58:8  As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass
 away: [like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not see the
 sun.
   Psalms|58:9  Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them
 away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.
   Psalms|58:10  The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he
 shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
   Psalms|58:11  So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for the
 righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
   Psalms|59:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when
 Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine
 enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
   Psalms|59:2  Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from
 bloody men.
   Psalms|59:3  For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are
 gathered against me; not [for] my transgression, nor [for] my sin, O LORD.
   Psalms|59:4  They run and prepare themselves without [my] fault: awake to
 help me, and behold.
   Psalms|59:5  Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel,
 awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked

 transgressors. Selah.
   Psalms|59:6  They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go
 round about the city.
   Psalms|59:7  Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords [are] in
 their lips: for who, [say they], doth hear?
   Psalms|59:8  But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all
 the heathen in derision.
   Psalms|59:9  [Because of] his strength will I wait upon thee: for God
 [is] my defence.
   Psalms|59:10  The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see
 [my desire] upon mine enemies.
   Psalms|59:11  Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy
 power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.
   Psalms|59:12  [For] the sin of their mouth [and] the words of their lips
 let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying [which]
 they speak.
   Psalms|59:13  Consume [them] in wrath, consume [them], that they [may]
 not [be]: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the
 earth. Selah.
   Psalms|59:14  And at evening let them return; [and] let them make a noise
 like a dog, and go round about the city.

   Psalms|59:15  Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be
 not satisfied.
   Psalms|59:16  But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy
 mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day
 of my trouble.
   Psalms|59:17  Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God [is] my
 defence, [and] the God of my mercy.
   Psalms|60:1  To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David,
 to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab
 returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God,
 thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O
 turn thyself to us again.
   Psalms|60:2  Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it:
 heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
   Psalms|60:3  Thou hast showed thy people hard things: thou hast made us
 to drink the wine of astonishment.
   Psalms|60:4  Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may
 be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

 divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
   Psalms|60:7  Gilead [is] mine, and Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is]
 the strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
   Psalms|60:8  Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe:
 Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
   Psalms|60:9  Who will bring me [into] the strong city? who will lead me
 into Edom?
   Psalms|60:10  [Wilt] not thou, O God, [which] hadst cast us off? and
 [thou], O God, [which] didst not go out with our armies?
   Psalms|60:11  Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.
   Psalms|60:12  Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]
 shall tread down our enemies.
   Psalms|61:1  To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear
 my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
   Psalms|61:2  From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my
 heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.
   Psalms|61:3  For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower
 from the enemy.

 generations.

 truth, [which] may preserve him.
   Psalms|61:8  So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may
 daily perform my vows.
   Psalms|62:1  To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. Truly
 my soul waiteth upon God: from him [cometh] my salvation.
   Psalms|62:2  He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence; I
 shall not be greatly moved.
   Psalms|62:3  How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be
 slain all of you: as a bowing wall [shall ye be, and as] a tottering fence.
   Psalms|62:4  They only consult to cast [him] down from his excellency:
 they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.
 Selah.
   Psalms|62:5  My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation [is]
 from him.
   Psalms|62:6  He only [is] my rock and my salvation: [he is] my defence; I
 shall not be moved.
   Psalms|62:7  In God [is] my salvation and my glory: the rock of my

 strength, [and] my refuge, [is] in God.
   Psalms|62:8  Trust in him at all times; [ye] people, pour out your heart
 before him: God [is] a refuge for us. Selah.
   Psalms|62:9  Surely men of low degree [are] vanity, [and] men of high
 degree [are] a lie: to be laid in the balance, they [are] altogether
 [lighter] than vanity.
   Psalms|62:10  Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if
 riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].
   Psalms|62:11  God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power
 [belongeth] unto God.
   Psalms|62:12  Also unto thee, O Lord, [belongeth] mercy: for thou
 renderest to every man according to his work.
   Psalms|63:1  A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O
 God, thou [art] my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee,
 my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
   Psalms|63:2  To see thy power and thy glory, so [as] I have seen thee in
 the sanctuary.
   Psalms|63:3  Because thy lovingkindness [is] better than life, my lips
 shall praise thee.
   Psalms|63:4  Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands
 in thy name.

   Psalms|63:5  My soul shall be satisfied as [with] marrow and fatness; and
 my mouth shall praise [thee] with joyful lips:
   Psalms|63:6  When I remember thee upon my bed, [and] meditate on thee in
 the [night] watches.
   Psalms|63:7  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of
 thy wings will I rejoice.
   Psalms|63:8  My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth
 me.
   Psalms|63:9  But those [that] seek my soul, to destroy [it], shall go
 into the lower parts of the earth.
   Psalms|63:10  They shall fall by the sword: they shall be a portion for
 foxes.
   Psalms|63:11  But the king shall rejoice in God; every one that sweareth
 by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
   Psalms|64:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O
 God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
   Psalms|64:2  Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the
 insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
   Psalms|64:3  Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows
 to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:
   Psalms|64:4  That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do

 they shoot at him, and fear not.
   Psalms|64:5  They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune
 of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
   Psalms|64:6  They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent
 search: both the inward [thought] of every one [of them], and the heart,
 [is] deep.
   Psalms|64:7  But God shall shoot at them [with] an arrow; suddenly shall
 they be wounded.
   Psalms|64:8  So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves:
 all that see them shall flee away.
   Psalms|64:9  And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God;
 for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

 him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

 waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.

   Psalms|65:3  Iniquities prevail against me: [as for] our transgressions,
 thou shalt purge them away.
   Psalms|65:4  Blessed [is the man whom] thou choosest, and causest to
 approach [unto thee, that] he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be

 satisfied with the goodness of thy house, [even] of thy holy temple.
   Psalms|65:5  [By] terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O
 God of our salvation; [who art] the confidence of all the ends of the
 earth, and of them that are afar off [upon] the sea:
   Psalms|65:6  Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; [being]
 girded with power:
   Psalms|65:7  Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their
 waves, and the tumult of the people.
   Psalms|65:8  They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at
 thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to
 rejoice.
   Psalms|65:9  Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly
 enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou
 preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
   Psalms|65:10  Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest
 the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the
 springing thereof.
   Psalms|65:11  Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths
 drop fatness.
   Psalms|65:12  They drop [upon] the pastures of the wilderness: and the
 little hills rejoice on every side.

   Psalms|65:13  The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are
 covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
   Psalms|66:1  To the chief Musician, A Song [or] Psalm. Make a joyful
 noise unto God, all ye lands:

   Psalms|66:3  Say unto God, How terrible [art thou in] thy works! through
 the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
   Psalms|66:4  All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee;
 they shall sing [to] thy name. Selah.
   Psalms|66:5  Come and see the works of God: [he is] terrible [in his]
 doing toward the children of men.
   Psalms|66:6  He turned the sea into dry [land]: they went through the
 flood on foot: there did we rejoice in him.
   Psalms|66:7  He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the
 nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.
   Psalms|66:8  O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise
 to be heard:
   Psalms|66:9  Which holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet
 to be moved.
   Psalms|66:10  For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as
 silver is tried.

   Psalms|66:11  Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction
 upon our loins.
   Psalms|66:12  Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went
 through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy
 [place].
   Psalms|66:13  I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay
 thee my vows,
   Psalms|66:14  Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when
 I was in trouble.
   Psalms|66:15  I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings, with
 the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.
   Psalms|66:16  Come [and] hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare
 what he hath done for my soul.
   Psalms|66:17  I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my
 tongue.
   Psalms|66:18  If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear
 [me]:
   Psalms|66:19  [But] verily God hath heard [me]; he hath attended to the
 voice of my prayer.
   Psalms|66:20  Blessed [be] God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor
 his mercy from me.

   Psalms|67:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song. God be
 merciful unto us, and bless us; [and] cause his face to shine upon us;
 Selah.

 among all nations.
   Psalms|67:3  Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise
 thee.

 judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.

 thee.

 our own God, shall bless us.

 him.
   Psalms|68:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm [or] Song of David. Let God
 arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee
 before him.

 melteth before the fire, [so] let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

 yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

 rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
   Psalms|68:5  A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, [is]
 God in his holy habitation.
   Psalms|68:6  God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those
 which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry [land].
   Psalms|68:7  O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou
 didst march through the wilderness; Selah:
   Psalms|68:8  The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of
 God: [even] Sinai itself [was moved] at the presence of God, the God of
 Israel.
   Psalms|68:9  Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst
 confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
   Psalms|68:10  Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast
 prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
   Psalms|68:11  The Lord gave the word: great [was] the company of those
 that published [it].
   Psalms|68:12  Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at
 home divided the spoil.
   Psalms|68:13  Though ye have lien among the pots, [yet shall ye be as]

 the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
   Psalms|68:14  When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as
 snow in Salmon.
   Psalms|68:15  The hill of God [is as] the hill of Bashan; an high hill
 [as] the hill of Bashan.

 desireth to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell [in it] for ever.
   Psalms|68:17  The chariots of God [are] twenty thousand, [even] thousands
 of angels: the Lord [is] among them, [as in] Sinai, in the holy [place].

 captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, [for] the rebellious also,
 that the LORD God might dwell [among them].

 benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah.

 GOD the Lord [belong] the issues from death.
   Psalms|68:21  But God shall wound the head of his enemies, [and] the
 hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
   Psalms|68:22  The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring
 [my people] again from the depths of the sea:
   Psalms|68:23  That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of [thine]

 enemies, [and] the tongue of thy dogs in the same.
   Psalms|68:24  They have seen thy goings, O God; [even] the goings of my
 God, my King, in the sanctuary.
   Psalms|68:25  The singers went before, the players on instruments
 [followed] after; among [them were] the damsels playing with timbrels.
   Psalms|68:26  Bless ye God in the congregations, [even] the Lord, from
 the fountain of Israel.

 of Judah [and] their council, the princes of Zebulun, [and] the princes of
 Naphtali.
   Psalms|68:28  Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God,
 that which thou hast wrought for us.
   Psalms|68:29  Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring
 presents unto thee.
   Psalms|68:30  Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls,
 with the calves of the people, [till every one] submit himself with pieces
 of silver: scatter thou the people [that] delight in war.
   Psalms|68:31  Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon
 stretch out her hands unto God.
   Psalms|68:32  Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises
 unto the Lord; Selah:

   Psalms|68:33  To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, [which
 were] of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, [and that] a mighty voice.
   Psalms|68:34  Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency [is] over
 Israel, and his strength [is] in the clouds.
   Psalms|68:35  O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: the God
 of Israel [is] he that giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed
 [be] God.
   Psalms|69:1  To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of David.
 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.
   Psalms|69:2  I sink in deep mire, where [there is] no standing: I am come
 into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
   Psalms|69:3  I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail
 while I wait for my God.
   Psalms|69:4  They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of
 mine head: they that would destroy me, [being] mine enemies wrongfully, are
 mighty: then I restored [that] which I took not away.
   Psalms|69:5  O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid
 from thee.
   Psalms|69:6  Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be
 ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my
 sake, O God of Israel.

   Psalms|69:7  Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath
 covered my face.
   Psalms|69:8  I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto
 my mother's children.
   Psalms|69:9  For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the
 reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
   Psalms|69:10  When I wept, [and chastened] my soul with fasting, that was
 to my reproach.
   Psalms|69:11  I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to
 them.
   Psalms|69:12  They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I [was] the
 song of the drunkards.
   Psalms|69:13  But as for me, my prayer [is] unto thee, O LORD, [in] an
 acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth
 of thy salvation.
   Psalms|69:14  Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be
 delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
   Psalms|69:15  Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep
 swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
   Psalms|69:16  Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness [is] good: turn
 unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

   Psalms|69:17  And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in
 trouble: hear me speedily.
   Psalms|69:18  Draw nigh unto my soul, [and] redeem it: deliver me because
 of mine enemies.
   Psalms|69:19  Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my
 dishonour: mine adversaries [are] all before thee.
   Psalms|69:20  Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness:
 and I looked [for some] to take pity, but [there was] none; and for
 comforters, but I found none.
   Psalms|69:21  They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they
 gave me vinegar to drink.
   Psalms|69:22  Let their table become a snare before them: and [that which
 should have been] for [their] welfare, [let it become] a trap.
   Psalms|69:23  Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make
 their loins continually to shake.
   Psalms|69:24  Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful
 anger take hold of them.
   Psalms|69:25  Let their habitation be desolate; [and] let none dwell in
 their tents.
   Psalms|69:26  For they persecute [him] whom thou hast smitten; and they
 talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

   Psalms|69:27  Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come
 into thy righteousness.
   Psalms|69:28  Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not
 be written with the righteous.
   Psalms|69:29  But I [am] poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God,
 set me up on high.
   Psalms|69:30  I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify
 him with thanksgiving.
   Psalms|69:31  [This] also shall please the LORD better than an ox [or]
 bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
   Psalms|69:32  The humble shall see [this, and] be glad: and your heart
 shall live that seek God.
   Psalms|69:33  For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his
 prisoners.
   Psalms|69:34  Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every
 thing that moveth therein.
   Psalms|69:35  For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah:
 that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
   Psalms|69:36  The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they
 that love his name shall dwell therein.
   Psalms|70:1  To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to

 remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O
 LORD.
   Psalms|70:2  Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:
 let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
   Psalms|70:3  Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that
 say, Aha, aha.
   Psalms|70:4  Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:
 and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
   Psalms|70:5  But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou
 [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
   Psalms|71:1  In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to
 confusion.
   Psalms|71:2  Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape:
 incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
   Psalms|71:3  Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually
 resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and
 my fortress.
   Psalms|71:4  Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of
 the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
   Psalms|71:5  For thou [art] my hope, O Lord GOD: [thou art] my trust from
 my youth.

   Psalms|71:6  By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he
 that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise [shall be] continually of
 thee.
   Psalms|71:7  I am as a wonder unto many; but thou [art] my strong refuge.
   Psalms|71:8  Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy
 honour all the day.
   Psalms|71:9  Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when
 my strength faileth.
   Psalms|71:10  For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait
 for my soul take counsel together,
   Psalms|71:11  Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for
 [there is] none to deliver [him].
   Psalms|71:12  O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my
 help.
   Psalms|71:13  Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries
 to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonour that seek my
 hurt.
   Psalms|71:14  But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more
 and more.
   Psalms|71:15  My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy
 salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].

   Psalms|71:16  I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make
 mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
   Psalms|71:17  O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have
 I declared thy wondrous works.
   Psalms|71:18  Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me
 not; until I have showed thy strength unto [this] generation, [and] thy
 power to every one [that] is to come.
   Psalms|71:19  Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast
 done great things: O God, who [is] like unto thee!
   Psalms|71:20  [Thou], which hast showed me great and sore troubles, shalt
 quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
   Psalms|71:21  Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every
 side.
   Psalms|71:22  I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy
 truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of
 Israel.
   Psalms|71:23  My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my
 soul, which thou hast redeemed.
   Psalms|71:24  My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day
 long: for they are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, that seek
 my hurt.

   Psalms|72:1  [A Psalm] for Solomon. Give the king thy judgments, O God,
 and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
   Psalms|72:2  He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor
 with judgment.
   Psalms|72:3  The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the
 little hills, by righteousness.
   Psalms|72:4  He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the
 children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
   Psalms|72:5  They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure,
 throughout all generations.
   Psalms|72:6  He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers
 [that] water the earth.
   Psalms|72:7  In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of
 peace so long as the moon endureth.
   Psalms|72:8  He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the
 river unto the ends of the earth.
   Psalms|72:9  They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and
 his enemies shall lick the dust.
   Psalms|72:10  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring
 presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
   Psalms|72:11  Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations

 shall serve him.
   Psalms|72:12  For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor
 also, and [him] that hath no helper.
   Psalms|72:13  He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls
 of the needy.
   Psalms|72:14  He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and
 precious shall their blood be in his sight.
   Psalms|72:15  And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of
 Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; [and] daily shall he
 be praised.
   Psalms|72:16  There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top
 of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and [they] of
 the city shall flourish like grass of the earth.
   Psalms|72:17  His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued
 as long as the sun: and [men] shall be blessed in him: all nations shall
 call him blessed.
   Psalms|72:18  Blessed [be] the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only
 doeth wondrous things.
   Psalms|72:19  And blessed [be] his glorious name for ever: and let the
 whole earth be filled [with] his glory; Amen, and Amen.
   Psalms|72:20  The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

   Psalms|73:1  A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to
 such as are of a clean heart.
   Psalms|73:2  But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well
 nigh slipped.
   Psalms|73:3  For I was envious at the foolish, [when] I saw the
 prosperity of the wicked.
   Psalms|73:4  For [there are] no bands in their death: but their strength
 [is] firm.
   Psalms|73:5  They [are] not in trouble [as other] men; neither are they
 plagued like [other] men.
   Psalms|73:6  Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence
 covereth them [as] a garment.
   Psalms|73:7  Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart
 could wish.
   Psalms|73:8  They are corrupt, and speak wickedly [concerning]
 oppression: they speak loftily.
   Psalms|73:9  They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue
 walketh through the earth.
   Psalms|73:10  Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full
 [cup] are wrung out to them.
   Psalms|73:11  And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in

 the most High?
   Psalms|73:12  Behold, these [are] the ungodly, who prosper in the world;
 they increase [in] riches.
   Psalms|73:13  Verily I have cleansed my heart [in] vain, and washed my
 hands in innocency.
   Psalms|73:14  For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened
 every morning.
   Psalms|73:15  If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend
 [against] the generation of thy children.
   Psalms|73:16  When I thought to know this, it [was] too painful for me;
   Psalms|73:17  Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I
 their end.
   Psalms|73:18  Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou
 castedst them down into destruction.
   Psalms|73:19  How are they [brought] into desolation, as in a moment!
 they are utterly consumed with terrors.
   Psalms|73:20  As a dream when [one] awaketh; [so], O Lord, when thou
 awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
   Psalms|73:21  Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
   Psalms|73:22  So foolish [was] I, and ignorant: I was [as] a beast before
 thee.

   Psalms|73:23  Nevertheless I [am] continually with thee: thou hast holden
 [me] by my right hand.
   Psalms|73:24  Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive
 me [to] glory.
   Psalms|73:25  Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon
 earth [that] I desire beside thee.
   Psalms|73:26  My flesh and my heart faileth: [but] God [is] the strength
 of my heart, and my portion for ever.
   Psalms|73:27  For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou
 hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
   Psalms|73:28  But [it is] good for me to draw near to God: I have put my
 trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
   Psalms|74:1  Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast [us] off for
 ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
   Psalms|74:2  Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of
 old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount
 Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
   Psalms|74:3  Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; [even] all
 [that] the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
   Psalms|74:4  Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they
 set up their ensigns [for] signs.

   Psalms|74:5  [A man] was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon
 the thick trees.
   Psalms|74:6  But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with
 axes and hammers.
   Psalms|74:7  They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled
 [by casting down] the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
   Psalms|74:8  They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together:
 they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
   Psalms|74:9  We see not our signs: [there is] no more any prophet:
 neither [is there] among us any that knoweth how long.
   Psalms|74:10  O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the
 enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
   Psalms|74:11  Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck
 [it] out of thy bosom.
   Psalms|74:12  For God [is] my King of old, working salvation in the midst
 of the earth.
   Psalms|74:13  Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the
 heads of the dragons in the waters.
   Psalms|74:14  Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, [and] gavest
 him [to be] meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
   Psalms|74:15  Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst

 up mighty rivers.
   Psalms|74:16  The day [is] thine, the night also [is] thine: thou hast
 prepared the light and the sun.
   Psalms|74:17  Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made
 summer and winter.
   Psalms|74:18  Remember this, [that] the enemy hath reproached, O LORD,
 and [that] the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
   Psalms|74:19  O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude
 [of the wicked]: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
   Psalms|74:20  Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the
 earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
   Psalms|74:21  O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and
 needy praise thy name.
   Psalms|74:22  Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the
 foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
   Psalms|74:23  Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those
 that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
   Psalms|75:1  To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm [or] Song of
 Asaph. Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, [unto thee] do we give thanks:
 for [that] thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
   Psalms|75:2  When I shall receive the congregation I will judge

 uprightly.
   Psalms|75:3  The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I
 bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
   Psalms|75:4  I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the
 wicked, Lift not up the horn:
   Psalms|75:5  Lift not up your horn on high: speak [not with] a stiff
 neck.
   Psalms|75:6  For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the
 west, nor from the south.
   Psalms|75:7  But God [is] the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up
 another.
   Psalms|75:8  For in the hand of the LORD [there is] a cup, and the wine
 is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the
 dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring [them] out, [and]
 drink [them].
   Psalms|75:9  But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God
 of Jacob.
   Psalms|75:10  All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; [but] the
 horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
   Psalms|76:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm [or] Song of
 Asaph. In Judah [is] God known: his name [is] great in Israel.

   Psalms|76:2  In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in
 Zion.
   Psalms|76:3  There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the
 sword, and the battle. Selah.
   Psalms|76:4  Thou [art] more glorious [and] excellent than the mountains
 of prey.
   Psalms|76:5  The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep:
 and none of the men of might have found their hands.
   Psalms|76:6  At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse
 are cast into a dead sleep.
   Psalms|76:7  Thou, [even] thou, [art] to be feared: and who may stand in
 thy sight when once thou art angry?
   Psalms|76:8  Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth
 feared, and was still,
   Psalms|76:9  When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the
 earth. Selah.
   Psalms|76:10  Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of
 wrath shalt thou restrain.
   Psalms|76:11  Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round
 about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
   Psalms|76:12  He shall cut off the spirit of princes: [he is] terrible to

 the kings of the earth.
   Psalms|77:1  To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun, A Psalm of Asaph. I
 cried unto God with my voice, [even] unto God with my voice; and he gave
 ear unto me.
   Psalms|77:2  In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in
 the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
   Psalms|77:3  I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my
 spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
   Psalms|77:4  Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I
 cannot speak.
   Psalms|77:5  I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient
 times.
   Psalms|77:6  I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with
 mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
   Psalms|77:7  Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable
 no more?
   Psalms|77:8  Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth [his] promise fail
 for evermore?
   Psalms|77:9  Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up
 his tender mercies? Selah.
   Psalms|77:10  And I said, This [is] my infirmity: [but I will remember]

 the years of the right hand of the most High.
   Psalms|77:11  I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will
 remember thy wonders of old.
   Psalms|77:12  I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy
 doings.
   Psalms|77:13  Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a
 God as [our] God?
   Psalms|77:14  Thou [art] the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared
 thy strength among the people.
   Psalms|77:15  Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of
 Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
   Psalms|77:16  The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were
 afraid: the depths also were troubled.
   Psalms|77:17  The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound:
 thine arrows also went abroad.
   Psalms|77:18  The voice of thy thunder [was] in the heaven: the
 lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
   Psalms|77:19  Thy way [is] in the sea, and thy path in the great waters,
 and thy footsteps are not known.
   Psalms|77:20  Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses
 and Aaron.

   Psalms|78:1  Maschil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, [to] my law:
 incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
   Psalms|78:2  I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings
 of old:
   Psalms|78:3  Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
   Psalms|78:4  We will not hide [them] from their children, showing to the
 generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his
 wonderful works that he hath done.
   Psalms|78:5  For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law
 in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known
 to their children:
   Psalms|78:6  That the generation to come might know [them, even] the
 children [which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to
 their children:
   Psalms|78:7  That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the
 works of God, but keep his commandments:
   Psalms|78:8  And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious
 generation; a generation [that] set not their heart aright, and whose
 spirit was not stedfast with God.
   Psalms|78:9  The children of Ephraim, [being] armed, [and] carrying bows,
 turned back in the day of battle.

   Psalms|78:10  They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in
 his law;
   Psalms|78:11  And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had showed
 them.
   Psalms|78:12  Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in
 the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.
   Psalms|78:13  He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he
 made the waters to stand as an heap.
   Psalms|78:14  In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the
 night with a light of fire.
   Psalms|78:15  He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink
 as [out of] the great depths.
   Psalms|78:16  He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters
 to run down like rivers.
   Psalms|78:17  And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most
 High in the wilderness.
   Psalms|78:18  And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for
 their lust.
   Psalms|78:19  Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a
 table in the wilderness?
   Psalms|78:20  Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and

 the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for
 his people?
   Psalms|78:21  Therefore the LORD heard [this], and was wroth: so a fire
 was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
   Psalms|78:22  Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his
 salvation:
   Psalms|78:23  Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened
 the doors of heaven,
   Psalms|78:24  And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given
 them of the corn of heaven.
   Psalms|78:25  Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
   Psalms|78:26  He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his
 power he brought in the south wind.
   Psalms|78:27  He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls
 like as the sand of the sea:
   Psalms|78:28  And he let [it] fall in the midst of their camp, round
 about their habitations.
   Psalms|78:29  So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them
 their own desire;
   Psalms|78:30  They were not estranged from their lust. But while their
 meat [was] yet in their mouths,

   Psalms|78:31  The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of
 them, and smote down the chosen [men] of Israel.
   Psalms|78:32  For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his
 wondrous works.
   Psalms|78:33  Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their
 years in trouble.
   Psalms|78:34  When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned
 and inquired early after God.
   Psalms|78:35  And they remembered that God [was] their rock, and the high
 God their redeemer.
   Psalms|78:36  Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and
 they lied unto him with their tongues.
   Psalms|78:37  For their heart was not right with him, neither were they
 stedfast in his covenant.
   Psalms|78:38  But he, [being] full of compassion, forgave [their]
 iniquity, and destroyed [them] not: yea, many a time turned he his anger
 away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
   Psalms|78:39  For he remembered that they [were but] flesh; a wind that
 passeth away, and cometh not again.
   Psalms|78:40  How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and]
 grieve him in the desert!

   Psalms|78:41  Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy
 One of Israel.
   Psalms|78:42  They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he
 delivered them from the enemy.
   Psalms|78:43  How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in
 the field of Zoan:
   Psalms|78:44  And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods,
 that they could not drink.
   Psalms|78:45  He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured
 them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
   Psalms|78:46  He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their
 labour unto the locust.
   Psalms|78:47  He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycamore
 trees with frost.
   Psalms|78:48  He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks
 to hot thunderbolts.
   Psalms|78:49  He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and
 indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them].
   Psalms|78:50  He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from
 death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
   Psalms|78:51  And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of [their]

 strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
   Psalms|78:52  But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided
 them in the wilderness like a flock.
   Psalms|78:53  And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the
 sea overwhelmed their enemies.
   Psalms|78:54  And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, [even
 to] this mountain, [which] his right hand had purchased.
   Psalms|78:55  He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them
 an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their
 tents.
   Psalms|78:56  Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept
 not his testimonies:
   Psalms|78:57  But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers:
 they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
   Psalms|78:58  For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and
 moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
   Psalms|78:59  When God heard [this], he was wroth, and greatly abhorred
 Israel:
   Psalms|78:60  So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent
 [which] he placed among men;
   Psalms|78:61  And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory

 into the enemy's hand.
   Psalms|78:62  He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth
 with his inheritance.
   Psalms|78:63  The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were
 not given to marriage.
   Psalms|78:64  Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no
 lamentation.
   Psalms|78:65  Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, [and] like a
 mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
   Psalms|78:66  And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them
 to a perpetual reproach.
   Psalms|78:67  Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not
 the tribe of Ephraim:
   Psalms|78:68  But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he
 loved.
   Psalms|78:69  And he built his sanctuary like high [palaces], like the
 earth which he hath established for ever.
   Psalms|78:70  He chose David also his servant, and took him from the
 sheepfolds:
   Psalms|78:71  From following the ewes great with young he brought him to
 feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

   Psalms|78:72  So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and
 guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
   Psalms|79:1  A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the heathen are come into thine
 inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on
 heaps.
   Psalms|79:2  The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] meat
 unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of
 the earth.
   Psalms|79:3  Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem;
 and [there was] none to bury [them].
   Psalms|79:4  We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and
 derision to them that are round about us.
   Psalms|79:5  How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy
 jealousy burn like fire?
   Psalms|79:6  Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known
 thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
   Psalms|79:7  For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling
 place.
   Psalms|79:8  O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender
 mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
   Psalms|79:9  Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name:

 and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
   Psalms|79:10  Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let
 him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] the revenging of the blood
 of thy servants [which is] shed.
   Psalms|79:11  Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according
 to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to
 die;
   Psalms|79:12  And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom
 their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
   Psalms|79:13  So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee
 thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations.
   Psalms|80:1  To the chief Musician upon Shoshannimeduth, A Psalm of
 Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a
 flock; thou that dwellest [between] the cherubims, shine forth.
   Psalms|80:2  Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy
 strength, and come [and] save us.
   Psalms|80:3  Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we
 shall be saved.
   Psalms|80:4  O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the
 prayer of thy people?
   Psalms|80:5  Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them

 tears to drink in great measure.
   Psalms|80:6  Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies
 laugh among themselves.
   Psalms|80:7  Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine;
 and we shall be saved.
   Psalms|80:8  Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out
 the heathen, and planted it.
   Psalms|80:9  Thou preparedst [room] before it, and didst cause it to take
 deep root, and it filled the land.
   Psalms|80:10  The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the
 boughs thereof [were like] the goodly cedars.
   Psalms|80:11  She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto
 the river.
   Psalms|80:12  Why hast thou [then] broken down her hedges, so that all
 they which pass by the way do pluck her?
   Psalms|80:13  The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast
 of the field doth devour it.
   Psalms|80:14  Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from
 heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
   Psalms|80:15  And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the
 branch [that] thou madest strong for thyself.

   Psalms|80:16  [It is] burned with fire, [it is] cut down: they perish at
 the rebuke of thy countenance.
   Psalms|80:17  Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the
 son of man [whom] thou madest strong for thyself.
   Psalms|80:18  So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will
 call upon thy name.
   Psalms|80:19  Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to
 shine; and we shall be saved.
   Psalms|81:1  To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing
 aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
   Psalms|81:2  Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant
 harp with the psaltery.
   Psalms|81:3  Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed,
 on our solemn feast day.
   Psalms|81:4  For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God
 of Jacob.
   Psalms|81:5  This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went
 out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I
 understood not.
   Psalms|81:6  I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were
 delivered from the pots.

   Psalms|81:7  Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered
 thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of
 Meribah. Selah.
   Psalms|81:8  Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel,
 if thou wilt hearken unto me;
   Psalms|81:9  There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou
 worship any strange god.
   Psalms|81:10  I [am] the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land
 of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
   Psalms|81:11  But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel
 would none of me.
   Psalms|81:12  So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: [and] they
 walked in their own counsels.
   Psalms|81:13  Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, [and] Israel had
 walked in my ways!
   Psalms|81:14  I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my
 hand against their adversaries.
   Psalms|81:15  The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves
 unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
   Psalms|81:16  He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat:
 and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

   Psalms|82:1  A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of the
 mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
   Psalms|82:2  How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of
 the wicked? Selah.
   Psalms|82:3  Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted
 and needy.
   Psalms|82:4  Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of
 the wicked.
   Psalms|82:5  They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in
 darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
   Psalms|82:6  I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] children of
 the most High.
   Psalms|82:7  But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
   Psalms|82:8  Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all
 nations.
   Psalms|83:1  A Song [or] Psalm of Asaph. Keep not thou silence, O God:
 hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
   Psalms|83:2  For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate
 thee have lifted up the head.
   Psalms|83:3  They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and
 consulted against thy hidden ones.

   Psalms|83:4  They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from [being] a
 nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
   Psalms|83:5  For they have consulted together with one consent: they are
 confederate against thee:
   Psalms|83:6  The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and
 the Hagarenes;
   Psalms|83:7  Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the
 inhabitants of Tyre;
   Psalms|83:8  Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the
 children of Lot. Selah.
   Psalms|83:9  Do unto them as [unto] the Midianites; as [to] Sisera, as
 [to] Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
   Psalms|83:10  [Which] perished at Endor: they became [as] dung for the
 earth.
   Psalms|83:11  Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their
 princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
   Psalms|83:12  Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in
 possession.
   Psalms|83:13  O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the
 wind.
   Psalms|83:14  As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the

 mountains on fire;
   Psalms|83:15  So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid
 with thy storm.
   Psalms|83:16  Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O
 LORD.
   Psalms|83:17  Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them
 be put to shame, and perish:
   Psalms|83:18  That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is]
 JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth.
   Psalms|84:1  To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm for the sons of
 Korah. How amiable [are] thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
   Psalms|84:2  My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the
 LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
   Psalms|84:3  Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest
 for herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O LORD of
 hosts, my King, and my God.
   Psalms|84:4  Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be
 still praising thee. Selah.
   Psalms|84:5  Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose
 heart [are] the ways [of them].
   Psalms|84:6  [Who] passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the

 rain also filleth the pools.
   Psalms|84:7  They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in
 Zion appeareth before God.
   Psalms|84:8  O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of
 Jacob. Selah.
   Psalms|84:9  Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine
 anointed.
   Psalms|84:10  For a day in thy courts [is] better than a thousand. I had
 rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents
 of wickedness.
   Psalms|84:11  For the LORD God [is] a sun and shield: the LORD will give
 grace and glory: no good [thing] will he withhold from them that walk
 uprightly.
   Psalms|84:12  O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in
 thee.
   Psalms|85:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. LORD,
 thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the
 captivity of Jacob.
   Psalms|85:2  Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast
 covered all their sin. Selah.
   Psalms|85:3  Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned

 [thyself] from the fierceness of thine anger.
   Psalms|85:4  Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger
 toward us to cease.
   Psalms|85:5  Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out
 thine anger to all generations?
   Psalms|85:6  Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice
 in thee?
   Psalms|85:7  Show us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation.
   Psalms|85:8  I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak
 peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to
 folly.
   Psalms|85:9  Surely his salvation [is] nigh them that fear him; that
 glory may dwell in our land.
   Psalms|85:10  Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace
 have kissed [each other].
   Psalms|85:11  Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness
 shall look down from heaven.
   Psalms|85:12  Yea, the LORD shall give [that which is] good; and our land
 shall yield her increase.
   Psalms|85:13  Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set [us] in
 the way of his steps.

   Psalms|86:1  A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for
 I [am] poor and needy.
   Psalms|86:2  Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy
 servant that trusteth in thee.
   Psalms|86:3  Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
   Psalms|86:4  Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I
 lift up my soul.
   Psalms|86:5  For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and
 plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
   Psalms|86:6  Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of
 my supplications.
   Psalms|86:7  In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou
 wilt answer me.
   Psalms|86:8  Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord;
 neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
   Psalms|86:9  All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship
 before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
   Psalms|86:10  For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art]
 God alone.
   Psalms|86:11  Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite
 my heart to fear thy name.

   Psalms|86:12  I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I
 will glorify thy name for evermore.
   Psalms|86:13  For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered
 my soul from the lowest hell.
   Psalms|86:14  O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies
 of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before
 them.
   Psalms|86:15  But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and
 gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
   Psalms|86:16  O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength
 unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
   Psalms|86:17  Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see
 [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
   Psalms|87:1  A Psalm [or] Song for the sons of Korah. His foundation [is]
 in the holy mountains.
   Psalms|87:2  The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the
 dwellings of Jacob.
   Psalms|87:3  Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.
   Psalms|87:4  I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know
 me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this [man] was born there.
   Psalms|87:5  And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in

 her: and the highest himself shall establish her.
   Psalms|87:6  The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, [that]
 this [man] was born there. Selah.
   Psalms|87:7  As well the singers as the players on instruments [shall be
 there]: all my springs [are] in thee.
   Psalms|88:1  A Song [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief
 Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God
 of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before thee:
   Psalms|88:2  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my
 cry;
   Psalms|88:3  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh
 unto the grave.
   Psalms|88:4  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a
 man [that hath] no strength:
   Psalms|88:5  Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave,
 whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
   Psalms|88:6  Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the
 deeps.
   Psalms|88:7  Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me]
 with all thy waves. Selah.
   Psalms|88:8  Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast

 made me an abomination unto them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come forth.
   Psalms|88:9  Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have
 called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
   Psalms|88:10  Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise
 [and] praise thee? Selah.
   Psalms|88:11  Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? [or] thy
 faithfulness in destruction?
   Psalms|88:12  Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy
 righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
   Psalms|88:13  But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning
 shall my prayer prevent thee.
   Psalms|88:14  LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy
 face from me?
   Psalms|88:15  I [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up:
 [while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
   Psalms|88:16  Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me
 off.
   Psalms|88:17  They came round about me daily like water; they compassed
 me about together.
   Psalms|88:18  Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] mine
 acquaintance into darkness.

   Psalms|89:1  Maschil of Ethan the Ezrahite. I will sing of the mercies of
 the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all
 generations.
   Psalms|89:2  For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy
 faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
   Psalms|89:3  I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto
 David my servant,
   Psalms|89:4  Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne
 to all generations. Selah.
   Psalms|89:5  And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy
 faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
   Psalms|89:6  For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? [who]
 among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?
   Psalms|89:7  God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,
 and to be had in reverence of all [them that are] about him.
   Psalms|89:8  O LORD God of hosts, who [is] a strong LORD like unto thee?
 or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
   Psalms|89:9  Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof
 arise, thou stillest them.
   Psalms|89:10  Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain;
 thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

   Psalms|89:11  The heavens [are] thine, the earth also [is] thine: [as
 for] the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
   Psalms|89:12  The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and
 Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
   Psalms|89:13  Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, [and] high is
 thy right hand.
   Psalms|89:14  Justice and judgment [are] the habitation of thy throne:
 mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
   Psalms|89:15  Blessed [is] the people that know the joyful sound: they
 shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.
   Psalms|89:16  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy
 righteousness shall they be exalted.
   Psalms|89:17  For thou [art] the glory of their strength: and in thy
 favour our horn shall be exalted.
   Psalms|89:18  For the LORD [is] our defence; and the Holy One of Israel
 [is] our king.
   Psalms|89:19  Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I
 have laid help upon [one that is] mighty; I have exalted [one] chosen out
 of the people.
   Psalms|89:20  I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I
 anointed him:

   Psalms|89:21  With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall
 strengthen him.
   Psalms|89:22  The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of
 wickedness afflict him.
   Psalms|89:23  And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague
 them that hate him.
   Psalms|89:24  But my faithfulness and my mercy [shall be] with him: and
 in my name shall his horn be exalted.
   Psalms|89:25  I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in
 the rivers.
   Psalms|89:26  He shall cry unto me, Thou [art] my father, my God, and the
 rock of my salvation.
   Psalms|89:27  Also I will make him [my] firstborn, higher than the kings
 of the earth.
   Psalms|89:28  My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant
 shall stand fast with him.
   Psalms|89:29  His seed also will I make [to endure] for ever, and his
 throne as the days of heaven.
   Psalms|89:30  If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my
 judgments;
   Psalms|89:31  If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

   Psalms|89:32  Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and
 their iniquity with stripes.
   Psalms|89:33  Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from
 him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
   Psalms|89:34  My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is
 gone out of my lips.
   Psalms|89:35  Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto
 David.
   Psalms|89:36  His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun
 before me.
   Psalms|89:37  It shall be established for ever as the moon, and [as] a
 faithful witness in heaven. Selah.
   Psalms|89:38  But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth
 with thine anointed.
   Psalms|89:39  Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast
 profaned his crown [by casting it] to the ground.
   Psalms|89:40  Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his
 strong holds to ruin.
   Psalms|89:41  All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his
 neighbours.
   Psalms|89:42  Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou

 hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
   Psalms|89:43  Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not
 made him to stand in the battle.
   Psalms|89:44  Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down
 to the ground.
   Psalms|89:45  The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast
 covered him with shame. Selah.
   Psalms|89:46  How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy
 wrath burn like fire?
   Psalms|89:47  Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all
 men in vain?
   Psalms|89:48  What man [is he that] liveth, and shall not see death?
 shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.
   Psalms|89:49  Lord, where [are] thy former lovingkindnesses, [which] thou
 swarest unto David in thy truth?
   Psalms|89:50  Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; [how] I do
 bear in my bosom [the reproach of] all the mighty people;
   Psalms|89:51  Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith
 they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
   Psalms|89:52  Blessed [be] the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
   Psalms|90:1  A Prayer of Moses the man of God. LORD, thou hast been our

 dwelling place in all generations.
   Psalms|90:2  Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst
 formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou
 [art] God.
   Psalms|90:3  Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye
 children of men.
   Psalms|90:4  For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday
 when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
   Psalms|90:5  Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a
 sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.
   Psalms|90:6  In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the
 evening it is cut down, and withereth.
   Psalms|90:7  For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
 troubled.
   Psalms|90:8  Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins]
 in the light of thy countenance.
   Psalms|90:9  For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our
 years as a tale [that is told].
   Psalms|90:10  The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and
 if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength
 labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

   Psalms|90:11  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy
 fear, [so is] thy wrath.
   Psalms|90:12  So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our]
 hearts unto wisdom.
   Psalms|90:13  Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning
 thy servants.
   Psalms|90:14  O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and
 be glad all our days.
   Psalms|90:15  Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast
 afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
   Psalms|90:16  Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto
 their children.
   Psalms|90:17  And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and
 establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands
 establish thou it.
   Psalms|91:1  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall
 abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
   Psalms|91:2  I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress:
 my God; in him will I trust.
   Psalms|91:3  Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
 [and] from the noisome pestilence.

   Psalms|91:4  He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings
 shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
   Psalms|91:5  Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for
 the arrow [that] flieth by day;
   Psalms|91:6  [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor]
 for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.
   Psalms|91:7  A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
 right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.
   Psalms|91:8  Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of
 the wicked.
   Psalms|91:9  Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge,
 [even] the most High, thy habitation;
   Psalms|91:10  There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague
 come nigh thy dwelling.
   Psalms|91:11  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee
 in all thy ways.
   Psalms|91:12  They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash
 thy foot against a stone.
   Psalms|91:13  Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion
 and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
   Psalms|91:14  Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I

 deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
   Psalms|91:15  He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be]
 with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
   Psalms|91:16  With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my
 salvation.
   Psalms|92:1  A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day. [It is a] good
 [thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O
 most High:
   Psalms|92:2  To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy
 faithfulness every night,
   Psalms|92:3  Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;
 upon the harp with a solemn sound.
   Psalms|92:4  For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will
 triumph in the works of thy hands.
   Psalms|92:5  O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are very
 deep.
   Psalms|92:6  A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand
 this.
   Psalms|92:7  When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the
 workers of iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be destroyed for
 ever:

   Psalms|92:8  But thou, LORD, [art most] high for evermore.
   Psalms|92:9  For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall
 perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
   Psalms|92:10  But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an unicorn:
 I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
   Psalms|92:11  Mine eye also shall see [my desire] on mine enemies, [and]
 mine ears shall hear [my desire] of the wicked that rise up against me.
   Psalms|92:12  The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall
 grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
   Psalms|92:13  Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall
 flourish in the courts of our God.
   Psalms|92:14  They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall
 be fat and flourishing;
   Psalms|92:15  To show that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and
 [there is] no unrighteousness in him.
   Psalms|93:1  The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is
 clothed with strength, [wherewith] he hath girded himself: the world also
 is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
   Psalms|93:2  Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from
 everlasting.
   Psalms|93:3  The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up

 their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
   Psalms|93:4  The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many
 waters, [yea, than] the mighty waves of the sea.
   Psalms|93:5  Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine
 house, O LORD, for ever.
   Psalms|94:1  O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom
 vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
   Psalms|94:2  Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to
 the proud.
   Psalms|94:3  LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked
 triumph?
   Psalms|94:4  [How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and]
 all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
   Psalms|94:5  They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine
 heritage.
   Psalms|94:6  They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the
 fatherless.
   Psalms|94:7  Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God
 of Jacob regard [it].
   Psalms|94:8  Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools,
 when will ye be wise?

   Psalms|94:9  He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed
 the eye, shall he not see?
   Psalms|94:10  He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he
 that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?
   Psalms|94:11  The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are]
 vanity.
   Psalms|94:12  Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and
 teachest him out of thy law;
   Psalms|94:13  That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
 until the pit be digged for the wicked.
   Psalms|94:14  For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he
 forsake his inheritance.
   Psalms|94:15  But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the
 upright in heart shall follow it.
   Psalms|94:16  Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who
 will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
   Psalms|94:17  Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost
 dwelt in silence.
   Psalms|94:18  When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me
 up.
   Psalms|94:19  In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts

 delight my soul.
   Psalms|94:20  Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee,
 which frameth mischief by a law?
   Psalms|94:21  They gather themselves together against the soul of the
 righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
   Psalms|94:22  But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my
 refuge.
   Psalms|94:23  And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall
 cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut
 them off.
   Psalms|95:1  O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful
 noise to the rock of our salvation.
   Psalms|95:2  Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make
 a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
   Psalms|95:3  For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all
 gods.
   Psalms|95:4  In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength
 of the hills [is] his also.
   Psalms|95:5  The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed the
 dry [land].
   Psalms|95:6  O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the

 LORD our maker.
   Psalms|95:7  For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture,
 and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
   Psalms|95:8  Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as [in]
 the day of temptation in the wilderness:
   Psalms|95:9  When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
   Psalms|95:10  Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation, and
 said, It [is] a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known
 my ways:
   Psalms|95:11  Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter
 into my rest.
   Psalms|96:1  O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the
 earth.
   Psalms|96:2  Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation
 from day to day.
   Psalms|96:3  Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all
 people.
   Psalms|96:4  For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is]
 to be feared above all gods.
   Psalms|96:5  For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD
 made the heavens.

   Psalms|96:6  Honour and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty
 [are] in his sanctuary.
   Psalms|96:7  Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto
 the LORD glory and strength.
   Psalms|96:8  Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring an
 offering, and come into his courts.
   Psalms|96:9  O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before
 him, all the earth.
   Psalms|96:10  Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world
 also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the
 people righteously.
   Psalms|96:11  Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the
 sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
   Psalms|96:12  Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] therein: then
 shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
   Psalms|96:13  Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the
 earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his
 truth.
   Psalms|97:1  The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude
 of isles be glad [thereof].
   Psalms|97:2  Clouds and darkness [are] round about him: righteousness and

 judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.
   Psalms|97:3  A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round
 about.
   Psalms|97:4  His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and
 trembled.
   Psalms|97:5  The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at
 the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
   Psalms|97:6  The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people
 see his glory.
   Psalms|97:7  Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast
 themselves of idols: worship him, all [ye] gods.
   Psalms|97:8  Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah
 rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
   Psalms|97:9  For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art
 exalted far above all gods.
   Psalms|97:10  Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls
 of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
   Psalms|97:11  Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the
 upright in heart.
   Psalms|97:12  Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the
 remembrance of his holiness.

   Psalms|98:1  A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done
 marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the
 victory.
   Psalms|98:2  The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness
 hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen.
   Psalms|98:3  He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house
 of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
   Psalms|98:4  Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a
 loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
   Psalms|98:5  Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the
 voice of a psalm.
   Psalms|98:6  With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before
 the LORD, the King.
   Psalms|98:7  Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and
 they that dwell therein.
   Psalms|98:8  Let the floods clap [their] hands: let the hills be joyful
 together
   Psalms|98:9  Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with
 righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
   Psalms|99:1  The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth
 [between] the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

   Psalms|99:2  The LORD [is] great in Zion; and he [is] high above all the
 people.
   Psalms|99:3  Let them praise thy great and terrible name; [for] it [is]
 holy.
   Psalms|99:4  The king's strength also loveth judgment; thou dost
 establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
   Psalms|99:5  Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool;
 [for] he [is] holy.
   Psalms|99:6  Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them
 that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
   Psalms|99:7  He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his
 testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.
   Psalms|99:8  Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that
 forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
   Psalms|99:9  Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for
 the LORD our God [is] holy.
   Psalms|100:1  A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all
 ye lands.
   Psalms|100:2  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with
 singing.
   Psalms|100:3  Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath

 made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his
 pasture.
   Psalms|100:4  Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his
 courts with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name.
   Psalms|100:5  For the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and his
 truth [endureth] to all generations.
   Psalms|101:1  A Psalm of David. I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto
 thee, O LORD, will I sing.
   Psalms|101:2  I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt
 thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
   Psalms|101:3  I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the
 work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me.
   Psalms|101:4  A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a
 wicked [person].
   Psalms|101:5  Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off:
 him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
   Psalms|101:6  Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that
 they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve
 me.
   Psalms|101:7  He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he
 that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

   Psalms|101:8  I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may
 cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
   Psalms|102:1  A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and
 poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let
 my cry come unto thee.
   Psalms|102:2  Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in
 trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me
 speedily.
   Psalms|102:3  For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are
 burned as an hearth.
   Psalms|102:4  My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I
 forget to eat my bread.
   Psalms|102:5  By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my
 skin.
   Psalms|102:6  I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of
 the desert.
   Psalms|102:7  I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
   Psalms|102:8  Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are
 mad against me are sworn against me.
   Psalms|102:9  For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink
 with weeping,

   Psalms|102:10  Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast
 lifted me up, and cast me down.
   Psalms|102:11  My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am
 withered like grass.
   Psalms|102:12  But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy
 remembrance unto all generations.
   Psalms|102:13  Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time
 to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
   Psalms|102:14  For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour
 the dust thereof.
   Psalms|102:15  So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all
 the kings of the earth thy glory.
   Psalms|102:16  When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his
 glory.
   Psalms|102:17  He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not
 despise their prayer.
   Psalms|102:18  This shall be written for the generation to come: and the
 people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
   Psalms|102:19  For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;
 from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
   Psalms|102:20  To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that

 are appointed to death;
   Psalms|102:21  To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in
 Jerusalem;
   Psalms|102:22  When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms,
 to serve the LORD.
   Psalms|102:23  He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
   Psalms|102:24  I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my
 days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.
   Psalms|102:25  Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the
 heavens [are] the work of thy hands.
   Psalms|102:26  They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them
 shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they
 shall be changed:
   Psalms|102:27  But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.
   Psalms|102:28  The children of thy servants shall continue, and their
 seed shall be established before thee.
   Psalms|103:1  [A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that
 is within me, [bless] his holy name.
   Psalms|103:2  Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
   Psalms|103:3  Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy
 diseases;

   Psalms|103:4  Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee
 with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
   Psalms|103:5  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy
 youth is renewed like the eagle's.
   Psalms|103:6  The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that
 are oppressed.
   Psalms|103:7  He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the
 children of Israel.
   Psalms|103:8  The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and
 plenteous in mercy.
   Psalms|103:9  He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger]
 for ever.
   Psalms|103:10  He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us
 according to our iniquities.
   Psalms|103:11  For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is
 his mercy toward them that fear him.
   Psalms|103:12  As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he
 removed our transgressions from us.
   Psalms|103:13  Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD
 pitieth them that fear him.
   Psalms|103:14  For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are]

 dust.
   Psalms|103:15  [As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the
 field, so he flourisheth.
   Psalms|103:16  For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the
 place thereof shall know it no more.
   Psalms|103:17  But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to
 everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's
 children;
   Psalms|103:18  To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember
 his commandments to do them.
   Psalms|103:19  The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his
 kingdom ruleth over all.
   Psalms|103:20  Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength,
 that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
   Psalms|103:21  Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of
 his, that do his pleasure.
   Psalms|103:22  Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his
 dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
   Psalms|104:1  Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very
 great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
   Psalms|104:2  Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who

 stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
   Psalms|104:3  Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who
 maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
   Psalms|104:4  Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming
 fire:
   Psalms|104:5  [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should
 not be removed for ever.
   Psalms|104:6  Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the
 waters stood above the mountains.
   Psalms|104:7  At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they
 hasted away.
   Psalms|104:8  They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys
 unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
   Psalms|104:9  Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that
 they turn not again to cover the earth.
   Psalms|104:10  He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among
 the hills.
   Psalms|104:11  They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild
 asses quench their thirst.
   Psalms|104:12  By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their
 habitation, [which] sing among the branches.

   Psalms|104:13  He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is
 satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
   Psalms|104:14  He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for
 the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
   Psalms|104:15  And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to
 make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart.
   Psalms|104:16  The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of
 Lebanon, which he hath planted;
   Psalms|104:17  Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the
 fir trees [are] her house.
   Psalms|104:18  The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and]
 the rocks for the conies.
   Psalms|104:19  He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his
 going down.
   Psalms|104:20  Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the
 beasts of the forest do creep [forth].
   Psalms|104:21  The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat
 from God.
   Psalms|104:22  The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay
 them down in their dens.
   Psalms|104:23  Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the

 evening.
   Psalms|104:24  O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou
 made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
   Psalms|104:25  [So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things
 creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
   Psalms|104:26  There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou
 hast made to play therein.
   Psalms|104:27  These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them]
 their meat in due season.
   Psalms|104:28  [That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine
 hand, they are filled with good.
   Psalms|104:29  Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away
 their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
   Psalms|104:30  Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou
 renewest the face of the earth.
   Psalms|104:31  The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD
 shall rejoice in his works.
   Psalms|104:32  He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the
 hills, and they smoke.
   Psalms|104:33  I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing
 praise to my God while I have my being.

   Psalms|104:34  My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the
 LORD.
   Psalms|104:35  Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the
 wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
   Psalms|105:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known
 his deeds among the people.
   Psalms|105:2  Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his
 wondrous works.
   Psalms|105:3  Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice
 that seek the LORD.
   Psalms|105:4  Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
   Psalms|105:5  Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his
 wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
   Psalms|105:6  O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his
 chosen.
   Psalms|105:7  He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the
 earth.
   Psalms|105:8  He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which]
 he commanded to a thousand generations.
   Psalms|105:9  Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto
 Isaac;

   Psalms|105:10  And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to
 Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:
   Psalms|105:11  Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot
 of your inheritance:
   Psalms|105:12  When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very few,
 and strangers in it.
   Psalms|105:13  When they went from one nation to another, from [one]
 kingdom to another people;
   Psalms|105:14  He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved
 kings for their sakes;
   Psalms|105:15  [Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no
 harm.
   Psalms|105:16  Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake
 the whole staff of bread.
   Psalms|105:17  He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold
 for a servant:
   Psalms|105:18  Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
   Psalms|105:19  Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD
 tried him.
   Psalms|105:20  The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the
 people, and let him go free.

   Psalms|105:21  He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his
 substance:
   Psalms|105:22  To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his
 senators wisdom.
   Psalms|105:23  Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the
 land of Ham.
   Psalms|105:24  And he increased his people greatly; and made them
 stronger than their enemies.
   Psalms|105:25  He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtly
 with his servants.
   Psalms|105:26  He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
   Psalms|105:27  They showed his signs among them, and wonders in the land
 of Ham.
   Psalms|105:28  He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not
 against his word.
   Psalms|105:29  He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
   Psalms|105:30  Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the
 chambers of their kings.
   Psalms|105:31  He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice
 in all their coasts.
   Psalms|105:32  He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their

 land.
   Psalms|105:33  He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake
 the trees of their coasts.
   Psalms|105:34  He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that
 without number,
   Psalms|105:35  And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured
 the fruit of their ground.
   Psalms|105:36  He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief
 of all their strength.
   Psalms|105:37  He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and
 [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.
   Psalms|105:38  Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them
 fell upon them.
   Psalms|105:39  He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light
 in the night.
   Psalms|105:40  [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied
 them with the bread of heaven.
   Psalms|105:41  He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in
 the dry places [like] a river.
   Psalms|105:42  For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his
 servant.

   Psalms|105:43  And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen
 with gladness:
   Psalms|105:44  And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited
 the labour of the people;
   Psalms|105:45  That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.
 Praise ye the LORD.
   Psalms|106:1  Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he
 is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
   Psalms|106:2  Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can show
 forth all his praise?
   Psalms|106:3  Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth
 righteousness at all times.
   Psalms|106:4  Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest
 unto] thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
   Psalms|106:5  That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice
 in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
   Psalms|106:6  We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed
 iniquity, we have done wickedly.
   Psalms|106:7  Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they
 remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him] at the sea,
 [even] at the Red sea.

   Psalms|106:8  Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he
 might make his mighty power to be known.
   Psalms|106:9  He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led
 them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
   Psalms|106:10  And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them],
 and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
   Psalms|106:11  And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of
 them left.
   Psalms|106:12  Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
   Psalms|106:13  They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his
 counsel:
   Psalms|106:14  But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God
 in the desert.
   Psalms|106:15  And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into
 their soul.
   Psalms|106:16  They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint
 of the LORD.
   Psalms|106:17  The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the
 company of Abiram.
   Psalms|106:18  And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned
 up the wicked.

   Psalms|106:19  They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten
 image.
   Psalms|106:20  Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox
 that eateth grass.
   Psalms|106:21  They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things
 in Egypt;
   Psalms|106:22  Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things
 by the Red sea.
   Psalms|106:23  Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not
 Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath,
 lest he should destroy [them].
   Psalms|106:24  Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not
 his word:
   Psalms|106:25  But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the
 voice of the LORD.
   Psalms|106:26  Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow
 them in the wilderness:
   Psalms|106:27  To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to
 scatter them in the lands.
   Psalms|106:28  They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the
 sacrifices of the dead.

   Psalms|106:29  Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions:
 and the plague brake in upon them.
   Psalms|106:30  Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so]
 the plague was stayed.
   Psalms|106:31  And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all
 generations for evermore.
   Psalms|106:32  They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so that
 it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
   Psalms|106:33  Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
 unadvisedly with his lips.
   Psalms|106:34  They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD
 commanded them:
   Psalms|106:35  But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their
 works.
   Psalms|106:36  And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
   Psalms|106:37  Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto
 devils,
   Psalms|106:38  And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons
 and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and
 the land was polluted with blood.
   Psalms|106:39  Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a

 whoring with their own inventions.
   Psalms|106:40  Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his
 people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
   Psalms|106:41  And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they
 that hated them ruled over them.
   Psalms|106:42  Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought
 into subjection under their hand.
   Psalms|106:43  Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him]
 with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
   Psalms|106:44  Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard
 their cry:
   Psalms|106:45  And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented
 according to the multitude of his mercies.
   Psalms|106:46  He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried
 them captives.
   Psalms|106:47  Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the
 heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.
   Psalms|106:48  Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to
 everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
   Psalms|107:1  O give thanks unto the LORD, for [he is] good: for his
 mercy [endureth] for ever.

   Psalms|107:2  Let the redeemed of the LORD say [so], whom he hath
 redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
   Psalms|107:3  And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from
 the west, from the north, and from the south.
   Psalms|107:4  They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they
 found no city to dwell in.
   Psalms|107:5  Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
   Psalms|107:6  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he
 delivered them out of their distresses.
   Psalms|107:7  And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go
 to a city of habitation.
   Psalms|107:8  Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness, and
 [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
   Psalms|107:9  For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry
 soul with goodness.
   Psalms|107:10  Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
 [being] bound in affliction and iron;
   Psalms|107:11  Because they rebelled against the words of God, and
 contemned the counsel of the most High:
   Psalms|107:12  Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they
 fell down, and [there was] none to help.

   Psalms|107:13  Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he
 saved them out of their distresses.
   Psalms|107:14  He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
 and brake their bands in sunder.
   Psalms|107:15  Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,
 and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
   Psalms|107:16  For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of
 iron in sunder.
   Psalms|107:17  Fools because of their transgression, and because of their
 iniquities, are afflicted.
   Psalms|107:18  Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw
 near unto the gates of death.
   Psalms|107:19  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, [and] he
 saveth them out of their distresses.
   Psalms|107:20  He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered [them]
 from their destructions.
   Psalms|107:21  Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,
 and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
   Psalms|107:22  And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and
 declare his works with rejoicing.
   Psalms|107:23  They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in

 great waters;
   Psalms|107:24  These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the
 deep.
   Psalms|107:25  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which
 lifteth up the waves thereof.
   Psalms|107:26  They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the
 depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
   Psalms|107:27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and
 are at their wit's end.
   Psalms|107:28  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he
 bringeth them out of their distresses.
   Psalms|107:29  He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are
 still.
   Psalms|107:30  Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth
 them unto their desired haven.
   Psalms|107:31  Oh that [men] would praise the LORD [for] his goodness,
 and [for] his wonderful works to the children of men!
   Psalms|107:32  Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people,
 and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
   Psalms|107:33  He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings
 into dry ground;

   Psalms|107:34  A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of
 them that dwell therein.
   Psalms|107:35  He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry
 ground into watersprings.
   Psalms|107:36  And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may
 prepare a city for habitation;
   Psalms|107:37  And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield
 fruits of increase.
   Psalms|107:38  He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied
 greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
   Psalms|107:39  Again, they are minished and brought low through
 oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
   Psalms|107:40  He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to
 wander in the wilderness, [where there is] no way.
   Psalms|107:41  Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and
 maketh [him] families like a flock.
   Psalms|107:42  The righteous shall see [it], and rejoice: and all
 iniquity shall stop her mouth.
   Psalms|107:43  Whoso [is] wise, and will observe these [things], even
 they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.
   Psalms|108:1  A Song [or] Psalm of David. O God, my heart is fixed; I

 will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
   Psalms|108:2  Awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
   Psalms|108:3  I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will
 sing praises unto thee among the nations.
   Psalms|108:4  For thy mercy [is] great above the heavens: and thy truth
 [reacheth] unto the clouds.
   Psalms|108:5  Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory
 above all the earth;
   Psalms|108:6  That thy beloved may be delivered: save [with] thy right
 hand, and answer me.
   Psalms|108:7  God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will
 divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
   Psalms|108:8  Gilead [is] mine; Manasseh [is] mine; Ephraim also [is] the
 strength of mine head; Judah [is] my lawgiver;
   Psalms|108:9  Moab [is] my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe;
 over Philistia will I triumph.
   Psalms|108:10  Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me
 into Edom?
   Psalms|108:11  [Wilt] not [thou], O God, [who] hast cast us off? and wilt
 not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
   Psalms|108:12  Give us help from trouble: for vain [is] the help of man.

   Psalms|108:13  Through God we shall do valiantly: for he [it is that]
 shall tread down our enemies.
   Psalms|109:1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy
 peace, O God of my praise;
   Psalms|109:2  For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
 are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
   Psalms|109:3  They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and
 fought against me without a cause.
   Psalms|109:4  For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself
 unto] prayer.
   Psalms|109:5  And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my
 love.
   Psalms|109:6  Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his
 right hand.
   Psalms|109:7  When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his
 prayer become sin.
   Psalms|109:8  Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.
   Psalms|109:9  Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
   Psalms|109:10  Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let
 them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.
   Psalms|109:11  Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the

 strangers spoil his labour.
   Psalms|109:12  Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let
 there be any to favour his fatherless children.
   Psalms|109:13  Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation
 following let their name be blotted out.
   Psalms|109:14  Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the
 LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
   Psalms|109:15  Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut
 off the memory of them from the earth.
   Psalms|109:16  Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but
 persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in
 heart.
   Psalms|109:17  As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he
 delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
   Psalms|109:18  As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his
 garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his
 bones.
   Psalms|109:19  Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him,
 and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
   Psalms|109:20  [Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from the
 LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

   Psalms|109:21  But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake:
 because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.
   Psalms|109:22  For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within
 me.
   Psalms|109:23  I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed
 up and down as the locust.
   Psalms|109:24  My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of
 fatness.
   Psalms|109:25  I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked
 upon me they shaked their heads.
   Psalms|109:26  Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
   Psalms|109:27  That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou,
 LORD, hast done it.
   Psalms|109:28  Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them
 be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
   Psalms|109:29  Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them
 cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
   Psalms|109:30  I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will
 praise him among the multitude.
   Psalms|109:31  For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save
 [him] from those that condemn his soul.

   Psalms|110:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at
 my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
   Psalms|110:2  The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion:
 rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
   Psalms|110:3  Thy people [shall be] willing in the day of thy power, in
 the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of
 thy youth.
   Psalms|110:4  The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou [art] a
 priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
   Psalms|110:5  The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in
 the day of his wrath.
   Psalms|110:6  He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill [the
 places] with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
   Psalms|110:7  He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he
 lift up the head.
   Psalms|111:1  Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with [my] whole
 heart, in the assembly of the upright, and [in] the congregation.
   Psalms|111:2  The works of the LORD [are] great, sought out of all them
 that have pleasure therein.
   Psalms|111:3  His work [is] honourable and glorious: and his
 righteousness endureth for ever.

   Psalms|111:4  He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD
 [is] gracious and full of compassion.
   Psalms|111:5  He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be
 mindful of his covenant.
   Psalms|111:6  He hath showed his people the power of his works, that he
 may give them the heritage of the heathen.
   Psalms|111:7  The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his
 commandments [are] sure.
   Psalms|111:8  They stand fast for ever and ever, [and are] done in truth
 and uprightness.
   Psalms|111:9  He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his
 covenant for ever: holy and reverend [is] his name.
   Psalms|111:10  The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good
 understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth
 for ever.
   Psalms|112:1  Praise ye the LORD. Blessed [is] the man [that] feareth the
 LORD, [that] delighteth greatly in his commandments.
   Psalms|112:2  His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the
 upright shall be blessed.
   Psalms|112:3  Wealth and riches [shall be] in his house: and his
 righteousness endureth for ever.

   Psalms|112:4  Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: [he
 is] gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
   Psalms|112:5  A good man showeth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his
 affairs with discretion.
   Psalms|112:6  Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall
 be in everlasting remembrance.
   Psalms|112:7  He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed,
 trusting in the LORD.
   Psalms|112:8  His heart [is] established, he shall not be afraid, until
 he see [his desire] upon his enemies.
   Psalms|112:9  He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his
 righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
   Psalms|112:10  The wicked shall see [it], and be grieved; he shall gnash
 with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
   Psalms|113:1  Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD,
 praise the name of the LORD.
   Psalms|113:2  Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and
 for evermore.
   Psalms|113:3  From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same
 the LORD's name [is] to be praised.
   Psalms|113:4  The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above

 the heavens.
   Psalms|113:5  Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
   Psalms|113:6  Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in
 heaven, and in the earth!
   Psalms|113:7  He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the
 needy out of the dunghill;
   Psalms|113:8  That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes
 of his people.
   Psalms|113:9  He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a
 joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
   Psalms|114:1  When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a
 people of strange language;
   Psalms|114:2  Judah was his sanctuary, [and] Israel his dominion.
   Psalms|114:3  The sea saw [it], and fled: Jordan was driven back.
   Psalms|114:4  The mountains skipped like rams, [and] the little hills
 like lambs.
   Psalms|114:5  What [ailed] thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou
 Jordan, [that] thou wast driven back?
   Psalms|114:6  Ye mountains, [that] ye skipped like rams; [and] ye little
 hills, like lambs?
   Psalms|114:7  Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the

 presence of the God of Jacob;
   Psalms|114:8  Which turned the rock [into] a standing water, the flint
 into a fountain of waters.
   Psalms|115:1  Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give
 glory, for thy mercy, [and] for thy truth's sake.
   Psalms|115:2  Wherefore should the heathen say, Where [is] now their God?
   Psalms|115:3  But our God [is] in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he
 hath pleased.
   Psalms|115:4  Their idols [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
   Psalms|115:5  They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but
 they see not:
   Psalms|115:6  They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but
 they smell not:
   Psalms|115:7  They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but
 they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
   Psalms|115:8  They that make them are like unto them; [so is] every one
 that trusteth in them.
   Psalms|115:9  O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he [is] their help and
 their shield.
   Psalms|115:10  O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he [is] their help
 and their shield.

   Psalms|115:11  Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he [is] their
 help and their shield.
   Psalms|115:12  The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless [us]; he
 will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
   Psalms|115:13  He will bless them that fear the LORD, [both] small and
 great.
   Psalms|115:14  The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your
 children.
   Psalms|115:15  Ye [are] blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
   Psalms|115:16  The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD's: but the
 earth hath he given to the children of men.
   Psalms|115:17  The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down
 into silence.
   Psalms|115:18  But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for
 evermore. Praise the LORD.
   Psalms|116:1  I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice [and] my
 supplications.

 call upon [him] as long as I live.
   Psalms|116:3  The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell
 gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

   Psalms|116:4  Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech
 thee, deliver my soul.
   Psalms|116:5  Gracious [is] the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God [is]
 merciful.
   Psalms|116:6  The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he
 helped me.
   Psalms|116:7  Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt
 bountifully with thee.
   Psalms|116:8  For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from
 tears, [and] my feet from falling.
   Psalms|116:9  I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
   Psalms|116:10  I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly
 afflicted:
   Psalms|116:11  I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.
   Psalms|116:12  What shall I render unto the LORD [for] all his benefits
 toward me?
   Psalms|116:13  I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name
 of the LORD.
   Psalms|116:14  I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of
 all his people.
   Psalms|116:15  Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his

 saints.
   Psalms|116:16  O LORD, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant,
 [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
   Psalms|116:17  I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and
 will call upon the name of the LORD.
   Psalms|116:18  I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of
 all his people,
   Psalms|116:19  In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O
 Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
   Psalms|117:1  O Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye
 people.

 of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
   Psalms|118:1  O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: because his
 mercy [endureth] for ever.

 for ever.

 [endureth] for ever.
   Psalms|118:5  I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me,

 [and set me] in a large place.
   Psalms|118:6  The LORD [is] on my side; I will not fear: what can man do
 unto me?
   Psalms|118:7  The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore
 shall I see [my desire] upon them that hate me.
   Psalms|118:8  [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence
 in man.
   Psalms|118:9  [It is] better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence
 in princes.
   Psalms|118:10  All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the
 LORD will I destroy them.
   Psalms|118:11  They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but
 in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
   Psalms|118:12  They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as
 the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
   Psalms|118:13  Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the
 LORD helped me.
   Psalms|118:14  The LORD [is] my strength and song, and is become my
 salvation.
   Psalms|118:15  The voice of rejoicing and salvation [is] in the
 tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.

   Psalms|118:16  The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of
 the LORD doeth valiantly.
   Psalms|118:17  I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the
 LORD.
   Psalms|118:18  The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me
 over unto death.
   Psalms|118:19  Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into
 them, [and] I will praise the LORD:
   Psalms|118:20  This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall
 enter.
   Psalms|118:21  I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become
 my salvation.
   Psalms|118:22  The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head
 [stone] of the corner.
   Psalms|118:23  This is the LORD'S doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes.
   Psalms|118:24  This [is] the day [which] the LORD hath made; we will
 rejoice and be glad in it.
   Psalms|118:25  Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee,
 send now prosperity.
   Psalms|118:26  Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we
 have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.

   Psalms|118:27  God [is] the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind the
 sacrifice with cords, [even] unto the horns of the altar.
   Psalms|118:28  Thou [art] my God, and I will praise thee: [thou art] my
 God, I will exalt thee.
   Psalms|118:29  O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his
 mercy [endureth] for ever.

 the law of the LORD.

   Psalms|119:4  Thou hast commanded [us] to keep thy precepts diligently.

 thy commandments.

 have learned thy righteous judgments.
   Psalms|119:8  I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

 taking heed [thereto] according to thy word.
   Psalms|119:10  With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not

 wander from thy commandments.
   Psalms|119:11  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin
 against thee.
   Psalms|119:12  Blessed [art] thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
   Psalms|119:13  With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy
 mouth.

 of thy law.
   Psalms|119:19  I [am] a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments
 from me.
   Psalms|119:20  My soul breaketh for the longing [that it hath] unto thy
 judgments at all times.
   Psalms|119:21  Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, which do

 err from thy commandments.
   Psalms|119:22  Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy
 testimonies.
   Psalms|119:23  Princes also did sit [and] speak against me: [but] thy
 servant did meditate in thy statutes.
   Psalms|119:24  Thy testimonies also [are] my delight [and] my
 counsellors.
   Psalms|119:25  DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me
 according to thy word.

 thy statutes.

 feared.

 eyelids,
   Psalms|132:5  Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for
 the mighty [God] of Jacob.

 supplication.
   Psalms|142:2  I poured out my complaint before him; I showed before him
 my trouble.

 my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

 sight shall no man living be justified.

 is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.
   Psalms|148:14  He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all
 his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him.
 Praise ye the LORD.
   Psalms|149:1  Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and]
 his praise in the congregation of saints.
   Psalms|149:2  Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children

 of Zion be joyful in their King.
   Psalms|149:3  Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing
 praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
   Psalms|149:4  For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will
 beautify the meek with salvation.
   Psalms|149:5  Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon
 their beds.
   Psalms|149:6  [Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth, and a
 twoedged sword in their hand;
   Psalms|149:7  To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments
 upon the people;
   Psalms|149:8  To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with
 fetters of iron;
   Psalms|149:9  To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have
 all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
   Psalms|150:1  Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him
 in the firmament of his power.
   Psalms|150:2  Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his
 excellent greatness.
   Psalms|150:3  Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with
 the psaltery and harp.

   Psalms|150:4  Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with
 stringed instruments and organs.
   Psalms|150:5  Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high
 sounding cymbals.
   Psalms|150:6  Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye
 the LORD.
   Proverbs|1:1  The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
   Proverbs|1:2  To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of
 understanding;
   Proverbs|1:3  To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and
 judgment, and equity;
   Proverbs|1:4  To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge
 and discretion.
   Proverbs|1:5  A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a
 man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
   Proverbs|1:6  To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words
 of the wise, and their dark sayings.
   Proverbs|1:7  The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but]
 fools despise wisdom and instruction.
   Proverbs|1:8  My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not
 the law of thy mother:

   Proverbs|1:9  For they [shall be] an ornament of grace unto thy head, and
 chains about thy neck.
   Proverbs|1:10  My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
   Proverbs|1:11  If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let
 us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
   Proverbs|1:12  Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as
 those that go down into the pit:
   Proverbs|1:13  We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our
 houses with spoil:
   Proverbs|1:14  Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
   Proverbs|1:15  My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy
 foot from their path:
   Proverbs|1:16  For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
   Proverbs|1:17  Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
   Proverbs|1:18  And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily
 for their [own] lives.
   Proverbs|1:19  So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;
 [which] taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
   Proverbs|1:20  Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the
 streets:
   Proverbs|1:21  She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the

 openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, [saying],
   Proverbs|1:22  How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the
 scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
   Proverbs|1:23  Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit
 unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
   Proverbs|1:24  Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched
 out my hand, and no man regarded;
   Proverbs|1:25  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none
 of my reproof:
   Proverbs|1:26  I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your
 fear cometh;
   Proverbs|1:27  When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction
 cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
   Proverbs|1:28  Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they
 shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
   Proverbs|1:29  For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear
 of the LORD:
   Proverbs|1:30  They would none of my counsel: they despised all my
 reproof.
   Proverbs|1:31  Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way,
 and be filled with their own devices.

   Proverbs|1:32  For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and
 the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
   Proverbs|1:33  But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall
 be quiet from fear of evil.
   Proverbs|2:1  My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my
 commandments with thee;
   Proverbs|2:2  So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, [and] apply
 thine heart to understanding;
   Proverbs|2:3  Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, [and] liftest up thy
 voice for understanding;
   Proverbs|2:4  If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as
 [for] hid treasures;
   Proverbs|2:5  Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find
 the knowledge of God.
   Proverbs|2:6  For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh]
 knowledge and understanding.
   Proverbs|2:7  He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: [he is] a
 buckler to them that walk uprightly.
   Proverbs|2:8  He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of
 his saints.
   Proverbs|2:9  Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and

 equity; [yea], every good path.
   Proverbs|2:10  When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is
 pleasant unto thy soul;
   Proverbs|2:11  Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep
 thee:
   Proverbs|2:12  To deliver thee from the way of the evil [man], from the
 man that speaketh froward things;
   Proverbs|2:13  Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of
 darkness;
   Proverbs|2:14  Who rejoice to do evil, [and] delight in the frowardness
 of the wicked;
   Proverbs|2:15  Whose ways [are] crooked, and [they] froward in their
 paths:
   Proverbs|2:16  To deliver thee from the strange woman, [even] from the
 stranger [which] flattereth with her words;
   Proverbs|2:17  Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the
 covenant of her God.
   Proverbs|2:18  For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the
 dead.
   Proverbs|2:19  None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold
 of the paths of life.

   Proverbs|2:20  That thou mayest walk in the way of good [men], and keep
 the paths of the righteous.
   Proverbs|2:21  For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect
 shall remain in it.
   Proverbs|2:22  But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the
 transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
   Proverbs|3:1  My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my
 commandments:
   Proverbs|3:2  For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they
 add to thee.
   Proverbs|3:3  Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy
 neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
   Proverbs|3:4  So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the
 sight of God and man.
   Proverbs|3:5  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto
 thine own understanding.
   Proverbs|3:6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy
 paths.
   Proverbs|3:7  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart
 from evil.
   Proverbs|3:8  It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

   Proverbs|3:9  Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the
 firstfruits of all thine increase:
   Proverbs|3:10  So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses
 shall burst out with new wine.
   Proverbs|3:11  My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be
 weary of his correction:
   Proverbs|3:12  For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father
 the son [in whom] he delighteth.
   Proverbs|3:13  Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man
 [that] getteth understanding.
   Proverbs|3:14  For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise
 of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
   Proverbs|3:15  She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things
 thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
   Proverbs|3:16  Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left
 hand riches and honour.
   Proverbs|3:17  Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths
 [are] peace.
   Proverbs|3:18  She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:
 and happy [is every one] that retaineth her.
   Proverbs|3:19  The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by

 understanding hath he established the heavens.
   Proverbs|3:20  By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds
 drop down the dew.
   Proverbs|3:21  My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound
 wisdom and discretion:
   Proverbs|3:22  So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy
 neck.
   Proverbs|3:23  Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall
 not stumble.
   Proverbs|3:24  When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou
 shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
   Proverbs|3:25  Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of
 the wicked, when it cometh.
   Proverbs|3:26  For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy
 foot from being taken.
   Proverbs|3:27  Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is
 in the power of thine hand to do [it].
   Proverbs|3:28  Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to
 morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
   Proverbs|3:29  Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth
 securely by thee.

   Proverbs|3:30  Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee
 no harm.
   Proverbs|3:31  Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
   Proverbs|3:32  For the froward [is] abomination to the LORD: but his
 secret [is] with the righteous.
   Proverbs|3:33  The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but
 he blesseth the habitation of the just.
   Proverbs|3:34  Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto
 the lowly.
   Proverbs|3:35  The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the
 promotion of fools.
   Proverbs|4:1  Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend
 to know understanding.
   Proverbs|4:2  For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
   Proverbs|4:3  For I was my father's son, tender and only [beloved] in the
 sight of my mother.
   Proverbs|4:4  He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain
 my words: keep my commandments, and live.
   Proverbs|4:5  Get wisdom, get understanding: forget [it] not; neither
 decline from the words of my mouth.
   Proverbs|4:6  Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and

 she shall keep thee.
   Proverbs|4:7  Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom:
 and with all thy getting get understanding.
   Proverbs|4:8  Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee
 to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
   Proverbs|4:9  She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown
 of glory shall she deliver to thee.
   Proverbs|4:10  Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of
 thy life shall be many.
   Proverbs|4:11  I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee
 in right paths.
   Proverbs|4:12  When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and
 when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
   Proverbs|4:13  Take fast hold of instruction; let [her] not go: keep her;
 for she [is] thy life.
   Proverbs|4:14  Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the
 way of evil [men].
   Proverbs|4:15  Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
   Proverbs|4:16  For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and
 their sleep is taken away, unless they cause [some] to fall.
   Proverbs|4:17  For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine

 of violence.
   Proverbs|4:18  But the path of the just [is] as the shining light, that
 shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
   Proverbs|4:19  The way of the wicked [is] as darkness: they know not at
 what they stumble.
   Proverbs|4:20  My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my
 sayings.
   Proverbs|4:21  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the
 midst of thine heart.
   Proverbs|4:22  For they [are] life unto those that find them, and health
 to all their flesh.
   Proverbs|4:23  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it [are] the
 issues of life.
   Proverbs|4:24  Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put
 far from thee.
   Proverbs|4:25  Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look
 straight before thee.
   Proverbs|4:26  Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be
 established.
   Proverbs|4:27  Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy
 foot from evil.

   Proverbs|5:1  My son, attend unto my wisdom, [and] bow thine ear to my
 understanding:
   Proverbs|5:2  That thou mayest regard discretion, and [that] thy lips may
 keep knowledge.
   Proverbs|5:3  For the lips of a strange woman drop [as] an honeycomb, and
 her mouth [is] smoother than oil:
   Proverbs|5:4  But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged
 sword.
   Proverbs|5:5  Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
   Proverbs|5:6  Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are
 moveable, [that] thou canst not know [them].
   Proverbs|5:7  Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from
 the words of my mouth.
   Proverbs|5:8  Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of
 her house:
   Proverbs|5:9  Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto
 the cruel:
   Proverbs|5:10  Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours
 [be] in the house of a stranger;
   Proverbs|5:11  And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body
 are consumed,

   Proverbs|5:12  And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart
 despised reproof;
   Proverbs|5:13  And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined
 mine ear to them that instructed me!
   Proverbs|5:14  I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation
 and assembly.
   Proverbs|5:15  Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters
 out of thine own well.
   Proverbs|5:16  Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, [and] rivers of
 waters in the streets.
   Proverbs|5:17  Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
   Proverbs|5:18  Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of
 thy youth.
   Proverbs|5:19  [Let her be as] the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her
 breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her
 love.
   Proverbs|5:20  And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange
 woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
   Proverbs|5:21  For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and
 he pondereth all his goings.
   Proverbs|5:22  His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he

 shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
   Proverbs|5:23  He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of
 his folly he shall go astray.
   Proverbs|6:1  My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, [if] thou hast
 stricken thy hand with a stranger,
   Proverbs|6:2  Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken
 with the words of thy mouth.
   Proverbs|6:3  Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art
 come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy
 friend.
   Proverbs|6:4  Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
   Proverbs|6:5  Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand [of the hunter], and
 as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
   Proverbs|6:6  Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be
 wise:
   Proverbs|6:7  Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
   Proverbs|6:8  Provideth her meat in the summer, [and] gathereth her food
 in the harvest.
   Proverbs|6:9  How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise
 out of thy sleep?
   Proverbs|6:10  [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding

 of the hands to sleep:
   Proverbs|6:11  So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy
 want as an armed man.
   Proverbs|6:12  A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward
 mouth.
   Proverbs|6:13  He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he
 teacheth with his fingers;
   Proverbs|6:14  Frowardness [is] in his heart, he deviseth mischief
 continually; he soweth discord.
   Proverbs|6:15  Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall
 he be broken without remedy.
   Proverbs|6:16  These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an
 abomination unto him:
   Proverbs|6:17  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent
 blood,
   Proverbs|6:18  An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be
 swift in running to mischief,
   Proverbs|6:19  A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth
 discord among brethren.
   Proverbs|6:20  My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the
 law of thy mother:

   Proverbs|6:21  Bind them continually upon thine heart, [and] tie them
 about thy neck.
   Proverbs|6:22  When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest,
 it shall keep thee; and [when] thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
   Proverbs|6:23  For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light;
 and reproofs of instruction [are] the way of life:
   Proverbs|6:24  To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the
 tongue of a strange woman.
   Proverbs|6:25  Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her
 take thee with her eyelids.
   Proverbs|6:26  For by means of a whorish woman [a man is brought] to a
 piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
   Proverbs|6:27  Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be
 burned?
   Proverbs|6:28  Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
   Proverbs|6:29  So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever
 toucheth her shall not be innocent.
   Proverbs|6:30  [Men] do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his
 soul when he is hungry;
   Proverbs|6:31  But [if] he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall
 give all the substance of his house.

   Proverbs|6:32  [But] whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh
 understanding: he [that] doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
   Proverbs|6:33  A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall
 not be wiped away.
   Proverbs|6:34  For jealousy [is] the rage of a man: therefore he will not
 spare in the day of vengeance.
   Proverbs|6:35  He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest
 content, though thou givest many gifts.
   Proverbs|7:1  My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with
 thee.
   Proverbs|7:2  Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of
 thine eye.
   Proverbs|7:3  Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of
 thine heart.
   Proverbs|7:4  Say unto wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call
 understanding [thy] kinswoman:
   Proverbs|7:5  That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the
 stranger [which] flattereth with her words.
   Proverbs|7:6  For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
   Proverbs|7:7  And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the
 youths, a young man void of understanding,

   Proverbs|7:8  Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the
 way to her house,
   Proverbs|7:9  In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark
 night:
   Proverbs|7:10  And, behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of an
 harlot, and subtle of heart.
   Proverbs|7:11  (She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her
 house:
   Proverbs|7:12  Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in
 wait at every corner.)
   Proverbs|7:13  So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent
 face said unto him,
   Proverbs|7:14  [I have] peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my
 vows.
   Proverbs|7:15  Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek
 thy face, and I have found thee.
   Proverbs|7:16  I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with
 carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt.
   Proverbs|7:17  I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
   Proverbs|7:18  Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let
 us solace ourselves with loves.

   Proverbs|7:19  For the goodman [is] not at home, he is gone a long
 journey:
   Proverbs|7:20  He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come
 home at the day appointed.
   Proverbs|7:21  With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with
 the flattering of her lips she forced him.
   Proverbs|7:22  He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the
 slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
   Proverbs|7:23  Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to
 the snare, and knoweth not that it [is] for his life.
   Proverbs|7:24  Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend
 to the words of my mouth.
   Proverbs|7:25  Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in
 her paths.
   Proverbs|7:26  For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong
 [men] have been slain by her.
   Proverbs|7:27  Her house [is] the way to hell, going down to the chambers
 of death.
   Proverbs|8:1  Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
   Proverbs|8:2  She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the
 places of the paths.

   Proverbs|8:3  She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the
 coming in at the doors.
   Proverbs|8:4  Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice [is] to the sons of
 man.
   Proverbs|8:5  O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an
 understanding heart.
   Proverbs|8:6  Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening
 of my lips [shall be] right things.
   Proverbs|8:7  For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness [is] an
 abomination to my lips.
   Proverbs|8:8  All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness; [there
 is] nothing froward or perverse in them.
   Proverbs|8:9  They [are] all plain to him that understandeth, and right
 to them that find knowledge.
   Proverbs|8:10  Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge
 rather than choice gold.
   Proverbs|8:11  For wisdom [is] better than rubies; and all the things
 that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
   Proverbs|8:12  I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of
 witty inventions.
   Proverbs|8:13  The fear of the LORD [is] to hate evil: pride, and

 arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
   Proverbs|8:14  Counsel [is] mine, and sound wisdom: I [am] understanding;
 I have strength.
   Proverbs|8:15  By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
   Proverbs|8:16  By me princes rule, and nobles, [even] all the judges of
 the earth.
   Proverbs|8:17  I love them that love me; and those that seek me early
 shall find me.
   Proverbs|8:18  Riches and honour [are] with me; [yea], durable riches and
 righteousness.
   Proverbs|8:19  My fruit [is] better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and
 my revenue than choice silver.
   Proverbs|8:20  I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the
 paths of judgment:
   Proverbs|8:21  That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance;
 and I will fill their treasures.
   Proverbs|8:22  The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before
 his works of old.
   Proverbs|8:23  I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever
 the earth was.
   Proverbs|8:24  When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when

 [there were] no fountains abounding with water.
   Proverbs|8:25  Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I
 brought forth:
   Proverbs|8:26  While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields,
 nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
   Proverbs|8:27  When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a
 compass upon the face of the depth:
   Proverbs|8:28  When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened
 the fountains of the deep:
   Proverbs|8:29  When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should
 not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
   Proverbs|8:30  Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I
 was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him;
   Proverbs|8:31  Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my
 delights [were] with the sons of men.
   Proverbs|8:32  Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed

   Proverbs|24:11  If thou forbear to deliver [them that are] drawn unto
 death, and [those that are] ready to be slain;

 pondereth the heart consider [it]? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth [not]
 he know [it]? and shall [not] he render to [every] man according to his
 works?

 expectation shall not be cut off.

 away his wrath from him.

 with them that are given to change:

 good to have respect of persons in judgment.
   Proverbs|24:24  He that saith unto the wicked, Thou [art] righteous; him

 had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
   Proverbs|24:32  Then I saw, [and] considered [it] well: I looked upon
 [it, and] received instruction.
   Proverbs|24:33  [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding
 of the hands to sleep:
   Proverbs|24:34  So shall thy poverty come [as] one that travelleth; and
 thy want as an armed man.

 hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince
 whom thine eyes have seen.

 infamy turn not away.
   Proverbs|25:11  A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures
 of silver.

 faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his
 masters.

 search their own glory [is not] glory.

 city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls.

 not seemly for a fool.
   Proverbs|26:2  As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the
 curse causeless shall not come.

 hope of a fool than of him.

 lion [is] in the streets.

 slothful upon his bed.

 her hands.

 from afar.

 her household, and a portion to her maidens.

   Proverbs|31:22  She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing
 [is] silk and purple.
   Proverbs|31:23  Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among
 the elders of the land.
   Proverbs|31:24  She maketh fine linen, and selleth [it]; and delivereth
 girdles unto the merchant.
   Proverbs|31:25  Strength and honour [are] her clothing; and she shall
 rejoice in time to come.
   Proverbs|31:26  She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue [is]
 the law of kindness.
   Proverbs|31:27  She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth
 not the bread of idleness.
   Proverbs|31:28  Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband
 [also], and he praiseth her.
   Proverbs|31:29  Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest
 them all.

   Proverbs|31:30  Favour [is] deceitful, and beauty [is] vain: [but] a
 woman [that] feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
   Proverbs|31:31  Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works
 praise her in the gates.
   Ecclesiastes|1:1  The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in
 Jerusalem.
   Ecclesiastes|1:2  Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of
 vanities; all [is] vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|1:3  What profit hath a man of all his labour which he
 taketh under the sun?
   Ecclesiastes|1:4  [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation
 cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
   Ecclesiastes|1:5  The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and
 hasteth to his place where he arose.
   Ecclesiastes|1:6  The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto
 the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again
 according to his circuits.
   Ecclesiastes|1:7  All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not
 full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return
 again.
   Ecclesiastes|1:8  All things [are] full of labour; man cannot utter [it]:

 the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
   Ecclesiastes|1:9  The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be;
 and that which is done [is] that which shall be done: and [there is] no new
 [thing] under the sun.
   Ecclesiastes|1:10  Is there [any] thing whereof it may be said, See, this
 [is] new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
   Ecclesiastes|1:11  [There is] no remembrance of former [things]; neither
 shall there be [any] remembrance of [things] that are to come with [those]
 that shall come after.
   Ecclesiastes|1:12  I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
   Ecclesiastes|1:13  And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom
 concerning all [things] that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath
 God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
   Ecclesiastes|1:14  I have seen all the works that are done under the sun;
 and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|1:15  [That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and
 that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
   Ecclesiastes|1:16  I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come
 to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all [they] that have been
 before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and
 knowledge.

   Ecclesiastes|1:17  And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know
 madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|1:18  For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that
 increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
   Ecclesiastes|2:1  I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with
 mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also [is] vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|2:2  I said of laughter, [It is] mad: and of mirth, What
 doeth it?
   Ecclesiastes|2:3  I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet
 acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might
 see what [was] that good for the sons of men, which they should do under
 the heaven all the days of their life.
   Ecclesiastes|2:4  I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted
 me vineyards:
   Ecclesiastes|2:5  I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in
 them of all [kind of] fruits:
   Ecclesiastes|2:6  I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood
 that bringeth forth trees:
   Ecclesiastes|2:7  I got [me] servants and maidens, and had servants born
 in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above
 all that were in Jerusalem before me:

   Ecclesiastes|2:8  I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar
 treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women
 singers, and the delights of the sons of men, [as] musical instruments, and
 that of all sorts.
   Ecclesiastes|2:9  So I was great, and increased more than all that were
 before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
   Ecclesiastes|2:10  And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them,
 I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my
 labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
   Ecclesiastes|2:11  Then I looked on all the works that my hands had
 wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all
 [was] vanity and vexation of spirit, and [there was] no profit under the
 sun.
   Ecclesiastes|2:12  And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and
 folly: for what [can] the man [do] that cometh after the king? [even] that
 which hath been already done.
   Ecclesiastes|2:13  Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as
 light excelleth darkness.
   Ecclesiastes|2:14  The wise man's eyes [are] in his head; but the fool
 walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth
 to them all.

   Ecclesiastes|2:15  Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool,
 so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my
 heart, that this also [is] vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|2:16  For [there is] no remembrance of the wise more than of
 the fool for ever; seeing that which now [is] in the days to come shall all
 be forgotten. And how dieth the wise [man]? as the fool.
   Ecclesiastes|2:17  Therefore I hated life; because the work that is
 wrought under the sun [is] grievous unto me: for all [is] vanity and
 vexation of spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|2:18  Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the
 sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
   Ecclesiastes|2:19  And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise [man] or a
 fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured,
 and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This [is] also vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|2:20  Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of
 all the labour which I took under the sun.
   Ecclesiastes|2:21  For there is a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in
 knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall
 he leave it [for] his portion. This also [is] vanity and a great evil.
   Ecclesiastes|2:22  For what hath man of all his labour, and of the
 vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

   Ecclesiastes|2:23  For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief;
 yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|2:24  [There is] nothing better for a man, [than] that he
 should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his
 labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God.
   Ecclesiastes|2:25  For who can eat, or who else can hasten [hereunto],
 more than I?
   Ecclesiastes|2:26  For [God] giveth to a man that [is] good in his sight
 wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to
 gather and to heap up, that he may give to [him that is] good before God.
 This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|3:1  To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every
 purpose under the heaven:
   Ecclesiastes|3:2  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,
 and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;
   Ecclesiastes|3:3  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break
 down, and a time to build up;
   Ecclesiastes|3:4  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn,
 and a time to dance;
   Ecclesiastes|3:5  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones
 together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

   Ecclesiastes|3:6  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and
 a time to cast away;
   Ecclesiastes|3:7  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep
 silence, and a time to speak;
   Ecclesiastes|3:8  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and
 a time of peace.
   Ecclesiastes|3:9  What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he
 laboureth?
   Ecclesiastes|3:10  I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the
 sons of men to be exercised in it.
   Ecclesiastes|3:11  He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also
 he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work
 that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
   Ecclesiastes|3:12  I know that [there is] no good in them, but for [a
 man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
   Ecclesiastes|3:13  And also that every man should eat and drink, and
 enjoy the good of all his labour, it [is] the gift of God.
   Ecclesiastes|3:14  I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for
 ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth
 [it], that [men] should fear before him.
   Ecclesiastes|3:15  That which hath been is now; and that which is to be

 hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
   Ecclesiastes|3:16  And moreover I saw under the sun the place of
 judgment, [that] wickedness [was] there; and the place of righteousness,
 [that] iniquity [was] there.
   Ecclesiastes|3:17  I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous
 and the wicked: for [there is] a time there for every purpose and for every
 work.
   Ecclesiastes|3:18  I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons
 of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they
 themselves are beasts.
   Ecclesiastes|3:19  For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth
 beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the
 other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence
 above a beast: for all [is] vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|3:20  All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all
 turn to dust again.
   Ecclesiastes|3:21  Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and
 the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
   Ecclesiastes|3:22  Wherefore I perceive that [there is] nothing better,
 than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that [is] his portion:
 for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

   Ecclesiastes|4:1  So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that
 are done under the sun: and behold the tears of [such as were] oppressed,
 and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors [there was]
 power; but they had no comforter.
   Ecclesiastes|4:2  Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead
 more than the living which are yet alive.
   Ecclesiastes|4:3  Yea, better [is he] than both they, which hath not yet
 been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
   Ecclesiastes|4:4  Again, I considered all travail, and every right work,
 that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This [is] also vanity and
 vexation of spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|4:5  The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own
 flesh.
   Ecclesiastes|4:6  Better [is] an handful [with] quietness, than both the
 hands full [with] travail and vexation of spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|4:7  Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
   Ecclesiastes|4:8  There is one [alone], and [there is] not a second; yea,
 he hath neither child nor brother: yet [is there] no end of all his labour;
 neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither [saith he], For whom do I
 labour, and bereave my soul of good? This [is] also vanity, yea, it [is] a
 sore travail.

   Ecclesiastes|4:9  Two [are] better than one; because they have a good
 reward for their labour.
   Ecclesiastes|4:10  For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but
 woe to him [that is] alone when he falleth; for [he hath] not another to
 help him up.
   Ecclesiastes|4:11  Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but
 how can one be warm [alone]?
   Ecclesiastes|4:12  And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand
 him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
   Ecclesiastes|4:13  Better [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and
 foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
   Ecclesiastes|4:14  For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also [he
 that is] born in his kingdom becometh poor.
   Ecclesiastes|4:15  I considered all the living which walk under the sun,
 with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
   Ecclesiastes|4:16  [There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all
 that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in
 him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|5:1  Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and
 be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they
 consider not that they do evil.

   Ecclesiastes|5:2  Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be
 hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven, and thou
 upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
   Ecclesiastes|5:3  For a dream cometh through the multitude of business;
 and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words.
   Ecclesiastes|5:4  When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it;
 for [he hath] no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
   Ecclesiastes|5:5  Better [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that
 thou shouldest vow and not pay.
   Ecclesiastes|5:6  Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither
 say thou before the angel, that it [was] an error: wherefore should God be
 angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
   Ecclesiastes|5:7  For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there
 are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
   Ecclesiastes|5:8  If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent
 perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter:
 for [he that is] higher than the highest regardeth; and [there be] higher
 than they.
   Ecclesiastes|5:9  Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king
 [himself] is served by the field.
   Ecclesiastes|5:10  He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with

 silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|5:11  When goods increase, they are increased that eat them:
 and what good [is there] to the owners thereof, saving the beholding [of
 them] with their eyes?
   Ecclesiastes|5:12  The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he
 eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to
 sleep.
   Ecclesiastes|5:13  There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the
 sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
   Ecclesiastes|5:14  But those riches perish by evil travail: and he
 begetteth a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.
   Ecclesiastes|5:15  As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he
 return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may
 carry away in his hand.
   Ecclesiastes|5:16  And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points
 as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for
 the wind?
   Ecclesiastes|5:17  All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath]
 much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
   Ecclesiastes|5:18  Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and
 comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his

 labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God
 giveth him: for it [is] his portion.
   Ecclesiastes|5:19  Every man also to whom God hath given riches and
 wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion,
 and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.
   Ecclesiastes|5:20  For he shall not much remember the days of his life;
 because God answereth [him] in the joy of his heart.
   Ecclesiastes|6:1  There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and
 it [is] common among men:
   Ecclesiastes|6:2  A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and
 honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth,
 yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this
 [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.
   Ecclesiastes|6:3  If a man beget an hundred [children], and live many
 years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled
 with good, and also [that] he have no burial; I say, [that] an untimely
 birth [is] better than he.
   Ecclesiastes|6:4  For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in
 darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
   Ecclesiastes|6:5  Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known [any
 thing]: this hath more rest than the other.

   Ecclesiastes|6:6  Yea, though he live a thousand years twice [told], yet
 hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
   Ecclesiastes|6:7  All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the
 appetite is not filled.
   Ecclesiastes|6:8  For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath
 the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
   Ecclesiastes|6:9  Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of
 the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|6:10  That which hath been is named already, and it is known
 that it [is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
   Ecclesiastes|6:11  Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what
 [is] man the better?
   Ecclesiastes|6:12  For who knoweth what [is] good for man in [this] life,
 all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can
 tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
   Ecclesiastes|7:1  A good name [is] better than precious ointment; and the
 day of death than the day of one's birth.
   Ecclesiastes|7:2  [It is] better to go to the house of mourning, than to
 go to the house of feasting: for that [is] the end of all men; and the
 living will lay [it] to his heart.
   Ecclesiastes|7:3  Sorrow [is] better than laughter: for by the sadness of

 the countenance the heart is made better.
   Ecclesiastes|7:4  The heart of the wise [is] in the house of mourning;
 but the heart of fools [is] in the house of mirth.
   Ecclesiastes|7:5  [It is] better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for
 a man to hear the song of fools.
   Ecclesiastes|7:6  For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so [is] the
 laughter of the fool: this also [is] vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|7:7  Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift
 destroyeth the heart.
   Ecclesiastes|7:8  Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning
 thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud in spirit.
   Ecclesiastes|7:9  Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger
 resteth in the bosom of fools.
   Ecclesiastes|7:10  Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days
 were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.
   Ecclesiastes|7:11  Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance: and [by it there
 is] profit to them that see the sun.
   Ecclesiastes|7:12  For wisdom [is] a defence, [and] money [is] a defence:
 but the excellency of knowledge [is, that] wisdom giveth life to them that
 have it.
   Ecclesiastes|7:13  Consider the work of God: for who can make [that]

 straight, which he hath made crooked?
   Ecclesiastes|7:14  In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of
 adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to
 the end that man should find nothing after him.
   Ecclesiastes|7:15  All [things] have I seen in the days of my vanity:
 there is a just [man] that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a
 wicked [man] that prolongeth [his life] in his wickedness.
   Ecclesiastes|7:16  Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over
 wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
   Ecclesiastes|7:17  Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why
 shouldest thou die before thy time?
   Ecclesiastes|7:18  [It is] good that thou shouldest take hold of this;
 yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall
 come forth of them all.
   Ecclesiastes|7:19  Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty
 [men] which are in the city.
   Ecclesiastes|7:20  For [there is] not a just man upon earth, that doeth
 good, and sinneth not.
   Ecclesiastes|7:21  Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest
 thou hear thy servant curse thee:
   Ecclesiastes|7:22  For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou

 thyself likewise hast cursed others.
   Ecclesiastes|7:23  All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be
 wise; but it [was] far from me.
   Ecclesiastes|7:24  That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can
 find it out?
   Ecclesiastes|7:25  I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to
 seek out wisdom, and the reason [of things], and to know the wickedness of
 folly, even of foolishness [and] madness:
   Ecclesiastes|7:26  And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose
 heart [is] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands: whoso pleaseth God
 shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
   Ecclesiastes|7:27  Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher,
 [counting] one by one, to find out the account:
   Ecclesiastes|7:28  Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man
 among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not
 found.
   Ecclesiastes|7:29  Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man
 upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
   Ecclesiastes|8:1  Who [is] as the wise [man]? and who knoweth the
 interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the
 boldness of his face shall be changed.

   Ecclesiastes|8:2  I [counsel thee] to keep the king's commandment, and
 [that] in regard of the oath of God.
   Ecclesiastes|8:3  Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an
 evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
   Ecclesiastes|8:4  Where the word of a king [is, there is] power: and who
 may say unto him, What doest thou?
   Ecclesiastes|8:5  Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing:
 and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
   Ecclesiastes|8:6  Because to every purpose there is time and judgment,
 therefore the misery of man [is] great upon him.
   Ecclesiastes|8:7  For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can
 tell him when it shall be?
   Ecclesiastes|8:8  [There is] no man that hath power over the spirit to
 retain the spirit; neither [hath he] power in the day of death: and [there
 is] no discharge in [that] war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that
 are given to it.
   Ecclesiastes|8:9  All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every
 work that is done under the sun: [there is] a time wherein one man ruleth
 over another to his own hurt.
   Ecclesiastes|8:10  And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone
 from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they

 had so done: this [is] also vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|8:11  Because sentence against an evil work is not executed
 speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do
 evil.
   Ecclesiastes|8:12  Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his
 [days] be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that
 fear God, which fear before him:
   Ecclesiastes|8:13  But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither
 shall he prolong [his] days, [which are] as a shadow; because he feareth
 not before God.
   Ecclesiastes|8:14  There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that
 there be just [men], unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the
 wicked; again, there be wicked [men], to whom it happeneth according to the
 work of the righteous: I said that this also [is] vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|8:15  Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better
 thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that
 shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth
 him under the sun.
   Ecclesiastes|8:16  When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see
 the business that is done upon the earth: (for also [there is that] neither
 day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)

   Ecclesiastes|8:17  Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot
 find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour
 to seek [it] out, yet he shall not find [it]; yea farther; though a wise
 [man] think to know [it], yet shall he not be able to find [it].
   Ecclesiastes|9:1  For all this I considered in my heart even to declare
 all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, [are] in the
 hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred [by] all [that is] before
 them.
   Ecclesiastes|9:2  All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one event to
 the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the
 unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [is]
 the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as [he] that feareth
 an oath.
   Ecclesiastes|9:3  This [is] an evil among all [things] that are done
 under the sun, that [there is] one event unto all: yea, also the heart of
 the sons of men is full of evil, and madness [is] in their heart while they
 live, and after that [they go] to the dead.
   Ecclesiastes|9:4  For to him that is joined to all the living there is
 hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
   Ecclesiastes|9:5  For the living know that they shall die: but the dead
 know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of

 them is forgotten.
   Ecclesiastes|9:6  Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is
 now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any [thing]
 that is done under the sun.
   Ecclesiastes|9:7  Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine
 with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
   Ecclesiastes|9:8  Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack
 no ointment.
   Ecclesiastes|9:9  Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the
 days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all
 the days of thy vanity: for that [is] thy portion in [this] life, and in
 thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
   Ecclesiastes|9:10  Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy
 might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in
 the grave, whither thou goest.
   Ecclesiastes|9:11  I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is]
 not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the
 wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of
 skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
   Ecclesiastes|9:12  For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that
 are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so

 [are] the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon
 them.
   Ecclesiastes|9:13  This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it
 [seemed] great unto me:
   Ecclesiastes|9:14  [There was] a little city, and few men within it; and
 there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great
 bulwarks against it:
   Ecclesiastes|9:15  Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by
 his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
   Ecclesiastes|9:16  Then said I, Wisdom [is] better than strength:
 nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not
 heard.
   Ecclesiastes|9:17  The words of wise [men are] heard in quiet more than
 the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
   Ecclesiastes|9:18  Wisdom [is] better than weapons of war: but one sinner
 destroyeth much good.
   Ecclesiastes|10:1  Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to
 send forth a stinking savour: [so doth] a little folly him that is in
 reputation for wisdom [and] honour.
   Ecclesiastes|10:2  A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a
 fool's heart at his left.

   Ecclesiastes|10:3  Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way,
 his wisdom faileth [him], and he saith to every one [that] he [is] a fool.
   Ecclesiastes|10:4  If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave
 not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
   Ecclesiastes|10:5  There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun, as
 an error [which] proceedeth from the ruler:
   Ecclesiastes|10:6  Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low
 place.
   Ecclesiastes|10:7  I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking
 as servants upon the earth.
   Ecclesiastes|10:8  He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso
 breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
   Ecclesiastes|10:9  Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; [and]
 he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
   Ecclesiastes|10:10  If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge,
 then must he put to more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct.
   Ecclesiastes|10:11  Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and
 a babbler is no better.
   Ecclesiastes|10:12  The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but
 the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
   Ecclesiastes|10:13  The beginning of the words of his mouth [is]

 foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness.
   Ecclesiastes|10:14  A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what
 shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
   Ecclesiastes|10:15  The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them,
 because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
   Ecclesiastes|10:16  Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and
 thy princes eat in the morning!
   Ecclesiastes|10:17  Blessed [art] thou, O land, when thy king [is] the
 son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for
 drunkenness!
   Ecclesiastes|10:18  By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and
 through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
   Ecclesiastes|10:19  A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry:
 but money answereth all [things].
   Ecclesiastes|10:20  Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse
 not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the
 voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
   Ecclesiastes|11:1  Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it
 after many days.
   Ecclesiastes|11:2  Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou
 knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

   Ecclesiastes|11:3  If the clouds be full of rain, they empty [themselves]
 upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north,
 in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
   Ecclesiastes|11:4  He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that
 regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
   Ecclesiastes|11:5  As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit,
 [nor] how the bones [do grow] in the womb of her that is with child: even
 so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
   Ecclesiastes|11:6  In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening
 withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either
 this or that, or whether they both [shall be] alike good.
   Ecclesiastes|11:7  Truly the light [is] sweet, and a pleasant [thing it
 is] for the eyes to behold the sun:
   Ecclesiastes|11:8  But if a man live many years, [and] rejoice in them
 all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All
 that cometh [is] vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|11:9  Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart
 cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart,
 and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these [things]
 God will bring thee into judgment.
   Ecclesiastes|11:10  Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away

 evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|12:1  Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth,
 while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say,
 I have no pleasure in them;
   Ecclesiastes|12:2  While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the
 stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
   Ecclesiastes|12:3  In the day when the keepers of the house shall
 tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease
 because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
   Ecclesiastes|12:4  And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the
 sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the
 bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
   Ecclesiastes|12:5  Also [when] they shall be afraid of [that which is]
 high, and fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish,
 and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man
 goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
   Ecclesiastes|12:6  Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl
 be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at
 the cistern.
   Ecclesiastes|12:7  Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and
 the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

   Ecclesiastes|12:8  Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all [is]
 vanity.
   Ecclesiastes|12:9  And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still
 taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, [and]
 set in order many proverbs.
   Ecclesiastes|12:10  The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and
 [that which was] written [was] upright, [even] words of truth.
   Ecclesiastes|12:11  The words of the wise [are] as goads, and as nails
 fastened [by] the masters of assemblies, [which] are given from one
 shepherd.
   Ecclesiastes|12:12  And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of
 making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] a weariness of the
 flesh.
   Ecclesiastes|12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear
 God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.
   Ecclesiastes|12:14  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with
 every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:1  The song of songs, which [is] Solomon's.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:2  Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for
 thy love [is] better than wine.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:3  Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name

 [is as] ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:4  Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath
 brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will
 remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:5  I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of
 Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:6  Look not upon me, because I [am] black, because the
 sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made
 me the keeper of the vineyards; [but] mine own vineyard have I not kept.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:7  Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou
 feedest, where thou makest [thy flock] to rest at noon: for why should I be
 as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
   Song-of-Solomon|1:8  If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy
 way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the
 shepherds' tents.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:9  I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of
 horses in Pharaoh's chariots.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:10  Thy cheeks are comely with rows [of jewels], thy
 neck with chains [of gold].
   Song-of-Solomon|1:11  We will make thee borders of gold with studs of
 silver.

   Song-of-Solomon|1:12  While the king [sitteth] at his table, my spikenard
 sendeth forth the smell thereof.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:13  A bundle of myrrh [is] my wellbeloved unto me; he
 shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:14  My beloved [is] unto me [as] a cluster of camphire
 in the vineyards of Engedi.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:15  Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou
 [art] fair; thou [hast] doves' eyes.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:16  Behold, thou [art] fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant:
 also our bed [is] green.
   Song-of-Solomon|1:17  The beams of our house [are] cedar, [and] our
 rafters of fir.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:1  I [am] the rose of Sharon, [and] the lily of the
 valleys.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:2  As the lily among thorns, so [is] my love among the
 daughters.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:3  As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so
 [is] my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great
 delight, and his fruit [was] sweet to my taste.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:4  He brought me to the banqueting house, and his
 banner over me [was] love.

   Song-of-Solomon|2:5  Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I
 [am] sick of love.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:6  His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand
 doth embrace me.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:7  I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the
 roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my]
 love, till he please.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:8  The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping
 upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:9  My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he
 standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, showing himself
 through the lattice.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:10  My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my
 love, my fair one, and come away.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:11  For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over [and]
 gone;
   Song-of-Solomon|2:12  The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the
 singing [of birds] is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our
 land;
   Song-of-Solomon|2:13  The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the
 vines [with] the tender grape give a [good] smell. Arise, my love, my fair

 one, and come away.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:14  O my dove, [that art] in the clefts of the rock, in
 the secret [places] of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear
 thy voice; for sweet [is] thy voice, and thy countenance [is] comely.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:15  Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the
 vines: for our vines [have] tender grapes.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:16  My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] his: he feedeth
 among the lilies.
   Song-of-Solomon|2:17  Until the day break, and the shadows flee away,
 turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains
 of Bether.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:1  By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth:
 I sought him, but I found him not.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:2  I will rise now, and go about the city in the
 streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I
 sought him, but I found him not.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:3  The watchmen that go about the city found me: [to
 whom I said], Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
   Song-of-Solomon|3:4  [It was] but a little that I passed from them, but I
 found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until
 I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that

 conceived me.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:5  I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the
 roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake [my]
 love, till he please.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:6  Who [is] this that cometh out of the wilderness like
 pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of
 the merchant?
   Song-of-Solomon|3:7  Behold his bed, which [is] Solomon's; threescore
 valiant men [are] about it, of the valiant of Israel.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:8  They all hold swords, [being] expert in war: every
 man [hath] his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:9  King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of
 Lebanon.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:10  He made the pillars thereof [of] silver, the bottom
 thereof [of] gold, the covering of it [of] purple, the midst thereof being
 paved [with] love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
   Song-of-Solomon|3:11  Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king
 Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his
 espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:1  Behold, thou [art] fair, my love; behold, thou [art]
 fair; thou [hast] doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair [is] as a flock of

 goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:2  Thy teeth [are] like a flock [of sheep that are
 even] shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins,
 and none [is] barren among them.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:3  Thy lips [are] like a thread of scarlet, and thy
 speech [is] comely: thy temples [are] like a piece of a pomegranate within
 thy locks.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:4  Thy neck [is] like the tower of David builded for an
 armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:5  Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes that are
 twins, which feed among the lilies.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:6  Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I
 will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:7  Thou [art] all fair, my love; [there is] no spot in
 thee.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:8  Come with me from Lebanon, [my] spouse, with me from
 Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon,
 from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:9  Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, [my] spouse;
 thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy
 neck.

   Song-of-Solomon|4:10  How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! how
 much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than
 all spices!
   Song-of-Solomon|4:11  Thy lips, O [my] spouse, drop [as] the honeycomb:
 honey and milk [are] under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments [is]
 like the smell of Lebanon.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:12  A garden enclosed [is] my sister, [my] spouse; a
 spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:13  Thy plants [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with
 pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
   Song-of-Solomon|4:14  Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with
 all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
   Song-of-Solomon|4:15  A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and
 streams from Lebanon.
   Song-of-Solomon|4:16  Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow
 upon my garden, [that] the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come
 into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:1  I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] spouse: I
 have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my
 honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink
 abundantly, O beloved.

   Song-of-Solomon|5:2  I sleep, but my heart waketh: [it is] the voice of
 my beloved that knocketh, [saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my
 dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, [and] my locks with the
 drops of the night.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:3  I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I
 have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
   Song-of-Solomon|5:4  My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the
 door], and my bowels were moved for him.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:5  I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands
 dropped [with] myrrh, and my fingers [with] sweet smelling myrrh, upon the
 handles of the lock.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:6  I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn
 himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I
 could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:7  The watchmen that went about the city found me, they
 smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from
 me.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:8  I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find
 my beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am] sick of love.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:9  What [is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O
 thou fairest among women? what [is] thy beloved more than [another]

 beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
   Song-of-Solomon|5:10  My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chiefest among
 ten thousand.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:11  His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks
 [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:12  His eyes [are] as [the eyes] of doves by the rivers
 of waters, washed with milk, [and] fitly set.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:13  His cheeks [are] as a bed of spices, [as] sweet
 flowers: his lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:14  His hands [are as] gold rings set with the beryl:
 his belly [is as] bright ivory overlaid [with] sapphires.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:15  His legs [are as] pillars of marble, set upon
 sockets of fine gold: his countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as the
 cedars.
   Song-of-Solomon|5:16  His mouth [is] most sweet: yea, he [is] altogether
 lovely. This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my friend, O daughters of
 Jerusalem.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:1  Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among
 women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:2  My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds
 of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

   Song-of-Solomon|6:3  I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine: he
 feedeth among the lilies.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:4  Thou [art] beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely
 as Jerusalem, terrible as [an army] with banners.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:5  Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome
 me: thy hair [is] as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:6  Thy teeth [are] as a flock of sheep which go up from
 the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and [there is] not one barren
 among them.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:7  As a piece of a pomegranate [are] thy temples within
 thy locks.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:8  There are threescore queens, and fourscore
 concubines, and virgins without number.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:9  My dove, my undefiled is [but] one; she [is] the
 [only] one of her mother, she [is] the choice [one] of her that bare her.
 The daughters saw her, and blessed her; [yea], the queens and the
 concubines, and they praised her.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:10  Who [is] she [that] looketh forth as the morning,
 fair as the moon, clear as the sun, [and] terrible as [an army] with
 banners?
   Song-of-Solomon|6:11  I went down into the garden of nuts to see the

 fruits of the valley, [and] to see whether the vine flourished, [and] the
 pomegranates budded.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:12  Or ever I was aware, my soul made me [like] the
 chariots of Amminadib.
   Song-of-Solomon|6:13  Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that
 we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the
 company of two armies.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:1  How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's
 daughter! the joints of thy thighs [are] like jewels, the work of the hands
 of a cunning workman.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:2  Thy navel [is like] a round goblet, [which] wanteth
 not liquor: thy belly [is like] an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:3  Thy two breasts [are] like two young roes [that are]
 twins.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:4  Thy neck [is] as a tower of ivory; thine eyes [like]
 the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose [is] as the
 tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:5  Thine head upon thee [is] like Carmel, and the hair
 of thine head like purple; the king [is] held in the galleries.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:6  How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for
 delights!

   Song-of-Solomon|7:7  This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy
 breasts to clusters [of grapes].
   Song-of-Solomon|7:8  I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take
 hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of
 the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
   Song-of-Solomon|7:9  And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my
 beloved, that goeth [down] sweetly, causing the lips of those that are
 asleep to speak.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:10  I [am] my beloved's, and his desire [is] toward me.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:11  Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field;
 let us lodge in the villages.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:12  Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if
 the vine flourish, [whether] the tender grape appear, [and] the
 pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
   Song-of-Solomon|7:13  The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates [are]
 all manner of pleasant [fruits], new and old, [which] I have laid up for
 thee, O my beloved.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:1  O that thou [wert] as my brother, that sucked the
 breasts of my mother! [when] I should find thee without, I would kiss thee;
 yea, I should not be despised.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:2  I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother's

 house, [who] would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine
 of the juice of my pomegranate.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:3  His left hand [should be] under my head, and his
 right hand should embrace me.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:4  I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir
 not up, nor awake [my] love, until he please.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:5  Who [is] this that cometh up from the wilderness,
 leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy
 mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth [that] bare thee.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:6  Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon
 thine arm: for love [is] strong as death; jealousy [is] cruel as the grave:
 the coals thereof [are] coals of fire, [which hath a] most vehement flame.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:7  Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the
 floods drown it: if [a] man would give all the substance of his house for
 love, it would utterly be contemned.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:8  We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts:
 what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
   Song-of-Solomon|8:9  If she [be] a wall, we will build upon her a palace
 of silver: and if she [be] a door, we will enclose her with boards of
 cedar.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:10  I [am] a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was

 I in his eyes as one that found favour.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:11  Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the
 vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a
 thousand [pieces] of silver.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:12  My vineyard, which [is] mine, [is] before me: thou,
 O Solomon, [must have] a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof
 two hundred.
   Song-of-Solomon|8:13  Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions
 hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear [it].
   Song-of-Solomon|8:14  Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe
 or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

 Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah,
 kings of Judah.
   Isaiah|1:2  Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath
 spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled
 against me.
   Isaiah|1:3  The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib:
 [but] Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.
   Isaiah|1:4  Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of
 evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they

 have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away
 backward.
   Isaiah|1:5  Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and
 more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.
   Isaiah|1:6  From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no
 soundness in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have
 not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
   Isaiah|1:7  Your country [is] desolate, your cities [are] burned with
 fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and [it is]
 desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

 as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
   Isaiah|1:9  Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small
 remnant, we should have been as Sodom, [and] we should have been like unto
 Gomorrah.
   Isaiah|1:10  Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto
 the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
   Isaiah|1:11  To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices unto
 me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat
 of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or
 of he goats.

   Isaiah|1:12  When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at
 your hand, to tread my courts?
   Isaiah|1:13  Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto
 me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away
 with; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
   Isaiah|1:14  Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth:
 they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear [them].
   Isaiah|1:15  And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes
 from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are
 full of blood.
   Isaiah|1:16  Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings
 from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
   Isaiah|1:17  Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed,
 judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
   Isaiah|1:18  Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though
 your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red
 like crimson, they shall be as wool.
   Isaiah|1:19  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the
 land:
   Isaiah|1:20  But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the
 sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].

   Isaiah|1:21  How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of
 judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
   Isaiah|1:22  Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
   Isaiah|1:23  Thy princes [are] rebellious, and companions of thieves:
 every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the
 fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
   Isaiah|1:24  Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One
 of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine
 enemies:
   Isaiah|1:25  And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy
 dross, and take away all thy tin:
   Isaiah|1:26  And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy
 counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city
 of righteousness, the faithful city.
   Isaiah|1:27  Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with
 righteousness.
   Isaiah|1:28  And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners
 [shall be] together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
   Isaiah|1:29  For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired,
 and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
   Isaiah|1:30  For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden

 that hath no water.
   Isaiah|1:31  And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a
 spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench [them].

 Jerusalem.

 mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the
 mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow
 unto it.
   Isaiah|2:3  And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up
 to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will
 teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall
 go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
   Isaiah|2:4  And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many
 people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears
 into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither
 shall they learn war any more.
   Isaiah|2:5  O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of
 the LORD.
   Isaiah|2:6  Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob,
 because they be replenished from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the

 Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
   Isaiah|2:7  Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither [is there
 any] end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither [is
 there any] end of their chariots:
   Isaiah|2:8  Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of
 their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
   Isaiah|2:9  And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth
 himself: therefore forgive them not.
   Isaiah|2:10  Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of
 the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
   Isaiah|2:11  The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness
 of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that
 day.
   Isaiah|2:12  For the day of the LORD of hosts [shall be] upon every [one
 that is] proud and lofty, and upon every [one that is] lifted up; and he
 shall be brought low:
   Isaiah|2:13  And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, [that are] high and
 lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
   Isaiah|2:14  And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that
 are lifted up, 2:15 And upon all the high tower, and upon every fenced
 wall, 2:16 And upon all the ships ot Tar'shish, and upon all pleasant

 pictures. 2:17 And the loftines of man shall be bowed down, and the
 haughtiness of men shall be exalted in that day. 2:18 And the idols he
 shall utterly abolish. 2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks,
 and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of
 his masjesty, when he arised to shake terribly the earth. 2:20 In the day a
 man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made
 each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; 2:21 To go
 into the clefs of the ragged rocks, for fear ot the LORD, and for the glory
 of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake the terrible the earth. 2:22 Cease
 ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be
 accounted of?
   Isaiah|3:1  For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from
 Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread,
 and the whole stay of water.
   Isaiah|3:2  The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the
 prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
   Isaiah|3:3  The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the
 counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
   Isaiah|3:4  And I will give children [to be] their princes, and babes
 shall rule over them.
   Isaiah|3:5  And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and

 every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against
 the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
   Isaiah|3:6  When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his
 father, [saying], Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and [let] this
 ruin [be] under thy hand:
   Isaiah|3:7  In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer;
 for in my house [is] neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the
 people.
   Isaiah|3:8  For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their
 tongue and their doings [are] against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his
 glory.
   Isaiah|3:9  The show of their countenance doth witness against them; and
 they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide [it] not. Woe unto their soul!
 for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
   Isaiah|3:10  Say ye to the righteous, that [it shall be] well [with him]:
 for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
   Isaiah|3:11  Woe unto the wicked! [it shall be] ill [with him]: for the
 reward of his hands shall be given him.
   Isaiah|3:12  [As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and
 women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause [thee] to
 err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

   Isaiah|3:13  The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the
 people.
   Isaiah|3:14  The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his
 people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the
 spoil of the poor [is] in your houses.
   Isaiah|3:15  What mean ye [that] ye beat my people to pieces, and grind
 the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
   Isaiah|3:16  Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are
 haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and
 mincing [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
   Isaiah|3:17  Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the
 head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret
 parts.
   Isaiah|3:18  In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of [their]
 tinkling ornaments [about their feet], and [their] cauls, and [their] round
 tires like the moon,
   Isaiah|3:19  The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
   Isaiah|3:20  The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the
 headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
   Isaiah|3:21  The rings, and nose jewels,
   Isaiah|3:22  The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the

 wimples, and the crisping pins,
   Isaiah|3:23  The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the
 veils.
   Isaiah|3:24  And it shall come to pass, [that] instead of sweet smell
 there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well
 set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; [and]
 burning instead of beauty.
   Isaiah|3:25  Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
   Isaiah|3:26  And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she [being]
 desolate shall sit upon the ground.

 saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be
 called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
   Isaiah|4:2  In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and
 glorious, and the fruit of the earth [shall be] excellent and comely for
 them that are escaped of Israel.
   Isaiah|4:3  And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left in Zion,
 and [he that] remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, [even] every
 one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
   Isaiah|4:4  When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the
 daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the

 midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
   Isaiah|4:5  And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount
 Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of
 a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory [shall be] a defence.
   Isaiah|4:6  And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime
 from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and
 from rain.
   Isaiah|5:1  Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved
 touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful
 hill:
   Isaiah|5:2  And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and
 planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it,
 and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth
 grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
   Isaiah|5:3  And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge,
 I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
   Isaiah|5:4  What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have
 not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes,
 brought it forth wild grapes?
   Isaiah|5:5  And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard:
 I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; [and] break

 down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
   Isaiah|5:6  And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged;
 but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds
 that they rain no rain upon it.
   Isaiah|5:7  For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts [is] the house of
 Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for
 judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
   Isaiah|5:8  Woe unto them that join house to house, [that] lay field to
 field, till [there be] no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst
 of the earth!
   Isaiah|5:9  In mine ears [said] the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses
 shall be desolate, [even] great and fair, without inhabitant.
   Isaiah|5:10  Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the
 seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
   Isaiah|5:11  Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, [that] they
 may follow strong drink; that continue until night, [till] wine inflame
 them!
   Isaiah|5:12  And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine,
 are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither
 consider the operation of his hands.
   Isaiah|5:13  Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because [they

 have] no knowledge: and their honourable men [are] famished, and their
 multitude dried up with thirst.
   Isaiah|5:14  Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth
 without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and
 he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
   Isaiah|5:15  And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man
 shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
   Isaiah|5:16  But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God
 that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
   Isaiah|5:17  Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste
 places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
   Isaiah|5:18  Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and
 sin as it were with a cart rope:
   Isaiah|5:19  That say, Let him make speed, [and] hasten his work, that we
 may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and
 come, that we may know [it]!
   Isaiah|5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put
 darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and
 sweet for bitter!
   Isaiah|5:21  Woe unto [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and prudent
 in their own sight!

   Isaiah|5:22  Woe unto [them that are] mighty to drink wine, and men of
 strength to mingle strong drink:
   Isaiah|5:23  Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the
 righteousness of the righteous from him!
   Isaiah|5:24  Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame
 consumeth the chaff, [so] their root shall be as rottenness, and their
 blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the
 LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
   Isaiah|5:25  Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his
 people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten
 them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases [were] torn in the
 midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his
 hand [is] stretched out still.
   Isaiah|5:26  And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and
 will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come
 with speed swiftly:
   Isaiah|5:27  None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall
 slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor
 the latchet of their shoes be broken:
   Isaiah|5:28  Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all their bows bent, their
 horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a

 whirlwind.
   Isaiah|5:29  Their roaring [shall be] like a lion, they shall roar like
 young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall
 carry [it] away safe, and none shall deliver [it].
   Isaiah|5:30  And in that day they shall roar against them like the
 roaring of the sea: and if [one] look unto the land, behold darkness [and]
 sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
   Isaiah|6:1  In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting
 upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
   Isaiah|6:2  Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with
 twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with
 twain he did fly.
   Isaiah|6:3  And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, [is]
 the LORD of hosts: the whole earth [is] full of his glory.
   Isaiah|6:4  And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that
 cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
   Isaiah|6:5  Then said I, Woe [is] me! for I am undone; because I [am] a
 man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:
 for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
   Isaiah|6:6  Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in
 his hand, [which] he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

   Isaiah|6:7  And he laid [it] upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath
 touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
   Isaiah|6:8  Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I
 send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.
   Isaiah|6:9  And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but
 understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
   Isaiah|6:10  Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears
 heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with
 their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
   Isaiah|6:11  Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the
 cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the
 land be utterly desolate,
   Isaiah|6:12  And the LORD have removed men far away, and [there be] a
 great forsaking in the midst of the land.
   Isaiah|6:13  But yet in it [shall be] a tenth, and [it] shall return, and
 shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance [is] in
 them, when they cast [their leaves: so] the holy seed [shall be] the
 substance thereof.
   Isaiah|7:1  And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham,
 the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah
 the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war

 against it, but could not prevail against it.
   Isaiah|7:2  And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is
 confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his
 people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
   Isaiah|7:3  Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz,
 thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool
 in the highway of the fuller's field;
   Isaiah|7:4  And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither
 be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the
 fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
   Isaiah|7:5  Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken
 evil counsel against thee, saying,
   Isaiah|7:6  Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a
 breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of
 Tabeal:
   Isaiah|7:7  Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it
 come to pass.
   Isaiah|7:8  For the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus
 [is] Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken,
 that it be not a people.
   Isaiah|7:9  And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of Samaria

 [is] Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be
 established.
   Isaiah|7:10  Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
   Isaiah|7:11  Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the
 depth, or in the height above.
   Isaiah|7:12  But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the
 LORD.
   Isaiah|7:13  And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; [Is it] a small
 thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
   Isaiah|7:14  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a
 virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
   Isaiah|7:15  Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse
 the evil, and choose the good.
   Isaiah|7:16  For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and
 choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her
 kings.
   Isaiah|7:17  The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and
 upon thy father's house, days that have not come from the day that Ephraim
 departed from Judah; [even] the king of Assyria.
   Isaiah|7:18  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall
 hiss for the fly that [is] in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt,

 and for the bee that [is] in the land of Assyria.
   Isaiah|7:19  And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the
 desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and
 upon all bushes.
   Isaiah|7:20  In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is
 hired, [namely], by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the
 head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
   Isaiah|7:21  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall
 nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
   Isaiah|7:22  And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk [that]
 they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one
 eat that is left in the land.
   Isaiah|7:23  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place
 shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it
 shall [even] be for briers and thorns.
   Isaiah|7:24  With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither; because
 all the land shall become briers and thorns.
   Isaiah|7:25  And [on] all hills that shall be digged with the mattock,
 there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be
 for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
   Isaiah|8:1  Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and

 write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
   Isaiah|8:2  And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the
 priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
   Isaiah|8:3  And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a
 son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
   Isaiah|8:4  For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father,
 and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be
 taken away before the king of Assyria.
   Isaiah|8:5  The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,
   Isaiah|8:6  Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that
 go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
   Isaiah|8:7  Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the
 waters of the river, strong and many, [even] the king of Assyria, and all
 his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his
 banks:
   Isaiah|8:8  And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go
 over, he shall reach [even] to the neck; and the stretching out of his
 wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
   Isaiah|8:9  Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in
 pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye
 shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in

 pieces.
   Isaiah|8:10  Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak
 the word, and it shall not stand: for God [is] with us.
   Isaiah|8:11  For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and
 instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
   Isaiah|8:12  Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people
 shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
   Isaiah|8:13  Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your
 fear, and [let] him [be] your dread.
   Isaiah|8:14  And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of
 stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin
 and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
   Isaiah|8:15  And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken,
 and be snared, and be taken.
   Isaiah|8:16  Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
   Isaiah|8:17  And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the
 house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
   Isaiah|8:18  Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me [are]
 for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth
 in mount Zion.
   Isaiah|8:19  And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have

 familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a
 people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
   Isaiah|8:20  To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according
 to this word, [it is] because [there is] no light in them.
   Isaiah|8:21  And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry:
 and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret
 themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
   Isaiah|8:22  And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and
 darkness, dimness of anguish; and [they shall be] driven to darkness.

 her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun
 and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict [her
 by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
   Isaiah|9:2  The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:
 they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the
 light shined.
   Isaiah|9:3  Thou hast multiplied the nation, [and] not increased the joy:
 they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, [and] as [men]

   Isaiah|9:7  Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall

 stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change [them into] cedars.
   Isaiah|9:11  Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin
 against him, and join his enemies together;

 shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned

 away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.

 neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
   Isaiah|9:14  Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail,

   Isaiah|9:15  The ancient and honourable, he [is] the head; and the
 prophet that teacheth lies, he [is] the tail.
   Isaiah|9:16  For the leaders of this people cause [them] to err; and
 [they that are] led of them [are] destroyed.
   Isaiah|9:17  Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,

 briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they
 shall mount up [like] the lifting up of smoke.

 and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his
 brother.

 shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat

 every man the flesh of his own arm:

 together [shall be] against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned
 away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
   Isaiah|10:1  Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that
 write grievousness [which] they have prescribed;
   Isaiah|10:2  To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the
 right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and [that]
 they may rob the fatherless!
   Isaiah|10:3  And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the
 desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and
 where will ye leave your glory?
   Isaiah|10:4  Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they
 shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but
 his hand [is] stretched out still.
   Isaiah|10:5  O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their
 hand is mine indignation.

 the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to
 take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

   Isaiah|10:9  [Is] not Calno as Carchemish? [is] not Hamath as Arpad? [is]
 not Samaria as Damascus?
   Isaiah|10:10  As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose
 graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria:
   Isaiah|10:11  Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so
 do to Jerusalem and her idols?
   Isaiah|10:12  Wherefore it shall come to pass, [that] when the Lord hath
 performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish
 the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his
 high looks.
   Isaiah|10:13  For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done [it],
 and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the
 people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the
 inhabitants like a valiant [man]:
   Isaiah|10:14  And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people:
 and as one gathereth eggs [that are] left, have I gathered all the earth;
 and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.
   Isaiah|10:15  Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth
 therewith? [or] shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it?

 as if the rod should shake [itself] against them that lift it up, [or] as
 if the staff should lift up [itself, as if it were] no wood.

 fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the
 burning of a fire.
   Isaiah|10:17  And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy
 One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers in
 one day;
   Isaiah|10:18  And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his
 fruitful field, both soul and body: and they shall be as when a
 standardbearer fainteth.
   Isaiah|10:19  And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few, that
 a child may write them.
   Isaiah|10:20  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the remnant
 of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more
 again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy
 One of Israel, in truth.
   Isaiah|10:21  The remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, unto
 the mighty God.
   Isaiah|10:22  For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea,
 [yet] a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall

 overflow with righteousness.
   Isaiah|10:23  For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even
 determined, in the midst of all the land.
   Isaiah|10:24  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people
 that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee

 cease, and mine anger in their destruction.

 heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.

 knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

 LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove
 after the hearing of his ears:

 with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with
 the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the
 wicked.

 of Sibmah: I will water thee with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the
 shouting for thy summer fruits and for thy harvest is fallen.

 feeble.

 the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath

   Isaiah|27:7  Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? [or]
 is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
   Isaiah|27:8  In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with
 it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
   Isaiah|27:9  By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and
 this [is] all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones
 of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and
 images shall not stand up.
   Isaiah|27:10  Yet the defenced city [shall be] desolate, [and] the
 habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed,
 and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
   Isaiah|27:11  When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken
 off: the women come, [and] set them on fire: for it [is] a people of no
 understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and
 he that formed them will show them no favour.
   Isaiah|27:12  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD
 shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and
 ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

   Isaiah|27:13  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the great
 trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in
 the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall
 worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
   Isaiah|28:1  Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim,
 whose glorious beauty [is] a fading flower, which [are] on the head of the
 fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
   Isaiah|28:2  Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, [which] as a
 tempest of hail [and] a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters
 overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
   Isaiah|28:3  The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be
 trodden under feet:
   Isaiah|28:4  And the glorious beauty, which [is] on the head of the fat
 valley, shall be a fading flower, [and] as the hasty fruit before the
 summer; which [when] he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his
 hand he eateth it up.
   Isaiah|28:5  In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory,
 and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
   Isaiah|28:6  And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in
 judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
   Isaiah|28:7  But they also have erred through wine, and through strong

 drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through
 strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way
 through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment.
   Isaiah|28:8  For all tables are full of vomit [and] filthiness, [so that
 there is] no place [clean].
   Isaiah|28:9  Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to
 understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from
 the breasts.
   Isaiah|28:10  For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept;
 line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:
   Isaiah|28:11  For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak
 to this people.
   Isaiah|28:12  To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may
 cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not
 hear.
   Isaiah|28:13  But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon
 precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a
 little, [and] there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be
 broken, and snared, and taken.
   Isaiah|28:14  Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that
 rule this people which [is] in Jerusalem.

   Isaiah|28:15  Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death,
 and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass
 through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and
 under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
   Isaiah|28:16  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion
 for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure
 foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
   Isaiah|28:17  Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to
 the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the
 waters shall overflow the hiding place.
   Isaiah|28:18  And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your
 agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall
 pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
   Isaiah|28:19  From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for
 morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be
 a vexation only [to] understand the report.
   Isaiah|28:20  For the bed is shorter than that [a man] can stretch
 himself [on it]: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself
 [in it].
   Isaiah|28:21  For the LORD shall rise up as [in] mount Perazim, he shall
 be wroth as [in] the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange

 work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
   Isaiah|28:22  Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made
 strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even
 determined upon the whole earth.
   Isaiah|28:23  Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my
 speech.
   Isaiah|28:24  Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and
 break the clods of his ground?
   Isaiah|28:25  When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast
 abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat
 and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
   Isaiah|28:26  For his God doth instruct him to discretion, [and] doth
 teach him.
   Isaiah|28:27  For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing
 instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the
 fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
   Isaiah|28:28  Bread [corn] is bruised; because he will not ever be
 threshing it, nor break [it with] the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it
 [with] his horsemen.
   Isaiah|28:29  This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, [which] is
 wonderful in counsel, [and] excellent in working.

   Isaiah|29:1  Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city [where] David dwelt! add ye
 year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
   Isaiah|29:2  Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and
 sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
   Isaiah|29:3  And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege
 against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
   Isaiah|29:4  And thou shalt be brought down, [and] shalt speak out of the
 ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall
 be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy
 speech shall whisper out of the dust.
   Isaiah|29:5  Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small
 dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones [shall be] as chaff that
 passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
   Isaiah|29:6  Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and
 with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of
 devouring fire.
   Isaiah|29:7  And the multitude of all the nations that fight against
 Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress
 her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
   Isaiah|29:8  It shall even be as when an hungry [man] dreameth, and,
 behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a

 thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and,
 behold, [he is] faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude
 of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
   Isaiah|29:9  Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are
 drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
   Isaiah|29:10  For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep
 sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers
 hath he covered.
   Isaiah|29:11  And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a
 book that is sealed, which [men] deliver to one that is learned, saying,
 Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it [is] sealed:
   Isaiah|29:12  And the book is delivered to him that is not learned,
 saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
   Isaiah|29:13  Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near
 [me] with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed
 their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept
 of men:
   Isaiah|29:14  Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work
 among this people, [even] a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of
 their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men]
 shall be hid.

   Isaiah|29:15  Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the
 LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who
 knoweth us?
   Isaiah|29:16  Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed
 as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made
 me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no
 understanding?
   Isaiah|29:17  [Is] it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be
 turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a
 forest?
   Isaiah|29:18  And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book,
 and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
   Isaiah|29:19  The meek also shall increase [their] joy in the LORD, and
 the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
   Isaiah|29:20  For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner
 is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
   Isaiah|29:21  That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for
 him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of
 nought.
   Isaiah|29:22  Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham,
 concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither

 shall his face now wax pale.
   Isaiah|29:23  But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in
 the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of
 Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
   Isaiah|29:24  They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding,
 and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
   Isaiah|30:1  Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take
 counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my
 spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
   Isaiah|30:2  That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my
 mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in
 the shadow of Egypt!
   Isaiah|30:3  Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and
 the trust in the shadow of Egypt [your] confusion.
   Isaiah|30:4  For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to
 Hanes.
   Isaiah|30:5  They were all ashamed of a people [that] could not profit
 them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
   Isaiah|30:6  The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of
 trouble and anguish, from whence [come] the young and old lion, the viper
 and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders

 of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people
 [that] shall not profit [them].
   Isaiah|30:7  For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose:
 therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength [is] to sit still.
   Isaiah|30:8  Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a
 book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
   Isaiah|30:9  That this [is] a rebellious people, lying children, children
 [that] will not hear the law of the LORD:
   Isaiah|30:10  Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets,
 Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy
 deceits:
   Isaiah|30:11  Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause
 the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
   Isaiah|30:12  Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye
 despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay
 thereon:
   Isaiah|30:13  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready
 to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an
 instant.
   Isaiah|30:14  And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters'
 vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall

 not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or
 to take water [withal] out of the pit.
   Isaiah|30:15  For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In
 returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall
 be your strength: and ye would not.
   Isaiah|30:16  But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore
 shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that
 pursue you be swift.
   Isaiah|30:17  One thousand [shall flee] at the rebuke of one; at the
 rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a
 mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
   Isaiah|30:18  And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious
 unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon
 you: for the LORD [is] a God of judgment: blessed [are] all they that wait
 for him.
   Isaiah|30:19  For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt
 weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry;
 when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
   Isaiah|30:20  And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and
 the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a
 corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:

   Isaiah|30:21  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This
 [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye
 turn to the left.
   Isaiah|30:22  Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of
 silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them
 away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
   Isaiah|30:23  Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt
 sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall
 be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
   Isaiah|30:24  The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground
 shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and
 with the fan.
   Isaiah|30:25  And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every
 high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters in the day of the great
 slaughter, when the towers fall.
   Isaiah|30:26  Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the
 sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven
 days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and
 healeth the stroke of their wound.
   Isaiah|30:27  Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning
 [with] his anger, and the burden [thereof is] heavy: his lips are full of

 indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
   Isaiah|30:28  And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to
 the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and
 [there shall be] a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing [them] to err.
   Isaiah|30:29  Ye shall have a song, as in the night [when] a holy
 solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to
 come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
   Isaiah|30:30  And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard,
 and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his]
 anger, and [with] the flame of a devouring fire, [with] scattering, and
 tempest, and hailstones.
   Isaiah|30:31  For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be
 beaten down, [which] smote with a rod.
   Isaiah|30:32  And [in] every place where the grounded staff shall pass,
 which the LORD shall lay upon him, [it] shall be with tabrets and harps:
 and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
   Isaiah|30:33  For Tophet [is] ordained of old; yea, for the king it is
 prepared; he hath made [it] deep [and] large: the pile thereof [is] fire
 and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth
 kindle it.
   Isaiah|31:1  Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on

 horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen,
 because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of
 Israel, neither seek the LORD!
   Isaiah|31:2  Yet he also [is] wise, and will bring evil, and will not
 call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and
 against the help of them that work iniquity.
   Isaiah|31:3  Now the Egyptians [are] men, and not God; and their horses
 flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he
 that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they
 all shall fail together.
   Isaiah|31:4  For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and
 the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called
 forth against him, [he] will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase
 himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to
 fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
   Isaiah|31:5  As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem;
 defending also he will deliver [it; and] passing over he will preserve it.
   Isaiah|31:6  Turn ye unto [him from] whom the children of Israel have
 deeply revolted.
   Isaiah|31:7  For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of
 silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you

 [for] a sin.
   Isaiah|31:8  Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty
 man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee
 from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
   Isaiah|31:9  And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his
 princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire [is] in
 Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
   Isaiah|32:1  Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes
 shall rule in judgment.
   Isaiah|32:2  And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a
 covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow
 of a great rock in a weary land.
   Isaiah|32:3  And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears
 of them that hear shall hearken.
   Isaiah|32:4  The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and
 the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
   Isaiah|32:5  The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the
 churl said [to be] bountiful.
   Isaiah|32:6  For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will
 work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD,
 to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the

 thirsty to fail.
   Isaiah|32:7  The instruments also of the churl [are] evil: he deviseth
 wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy
 speaketh right.
   Isaiah|32:8  But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal
 things shall he stand.
   Isaiah|32:9  Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye
 careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
   Isaiah|32:10  Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless
 women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
   Isaiah|32:11  Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye
 careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon
 [your] loins.
   Isaiah|32:12  They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields,
 for the fruitful vine.
   Isaiah|32:13  Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and]
 briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
   Isaiah|32:14  Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the
 city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy
 of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
   Isaiah|32:15  Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the

 wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a
 forest.
   Isaiah|32:16  Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and
 righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
   Isaiah|32:17  And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the
 effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
   Isaiah|32:18  And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in
 sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
   Isaiah|32:19  When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city
 shall be low in a low place.
   Isaiah|32:20  Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send
 forth [thither] the feet of the ox and the ass.
   Isaiah|33:1  Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou [wast] not spoiled; and
 dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when
 thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; [and] when thou shalt
 make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
   Isaiah|33:2  O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be
 thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
   Isaiah|33:3  At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting
 up of thyself the nations were scattered.
   Isaiah|33:4  And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the

 caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
   Isaiah|33:5  The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled
 Zion with judgment and righteousness.
   Isaiah|33:6  And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy
 times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.
   Isaiah|33:7  Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the
 ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
   Isaiah|33:8  The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath
 broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
   Isaiah|33:9  The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed
 [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake
 off [their fruits].
   Isaiah|33:10  Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now
 will I lift up myself.
   Isaiah|33:11  Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your
 breath, [as] fire, shall devour you.
   Isaiah|33:12  And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime: [as]
 thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
   Isaiah|33:13  Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done; and, ye
 [that are] near, acknowledge my might.
   Isaiah|33:14  The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised

 the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among
 us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
   Isaiah|33:15  He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he
 that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding
 of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his
 eyes from seeing evil;
   Isaiah|33:16  He shall dwell on high: his place of defence [shall be] the
 munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure.
   Isaiah|33:17  Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall
 behold the land that is very far off.
   Isaiah|33:18  Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe?
 where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers?
   Isaiah|33:19  Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper
 speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst]
 not understand.
   Isaiah|33:20  Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes
 shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be
 taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither
 shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
   Isaiah|33:21  But there the glorious LORD [will be] unto us a place of
 broad rivers [and] streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither

 shall gallant ship pass thereby.
   Isaiah|33:22  For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver,
 the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.
   Isaiah|33:23  Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen
 their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great
 spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
   Isaiah|33:24  And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people
 that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
   Isaiah|34:1  Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let
 the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that
 come forth of it.
   Isaiah|34:2  For the indignation of the LORD [is] upon all nations, and
 [his] fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath
 delivered them to the slaughter.
   Isaiah|34:3  Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall
 come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their
 blood.
   Isaiah|34:4  And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the
 heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall
 down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from
 the fig tree.

   Isaiah|34:5  For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall
 come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
   Isaiah|34:6  The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat
 with fatness, [and] with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the
 kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great
 slaughter in the land of Idumea.
   Isaiah|34:7  And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks
 with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust
 made fat with fatness.
   Isaiah|34:8  For [it is] the day of the LORD's vengeance, [and] the year
 of recompenses for the controversy of Zion.
   Isaiah|34:9  And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the
 dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning
 pitch.
   Isaiah|34:10  It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof
 shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste;
 none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
   Isaiah|34:11  But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl
 also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the
 line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
   Isaiah|34:12  They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none

 [shall be] there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
   Isaiah|34:13  And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and
 brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of
 dragons, [and] a court for owls.
   Isaiah|34:14  The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild
 beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech
 owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
   Isaiah|34:15  There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and
 hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be
 gathered, every one with her mate.
   Isaiah|34:16  Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of
 these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded,
 and his spirit it hath gathered them.
   Isaiah|34:17  And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath
 divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from
 generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
   Isaiah|35:1  The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for
 them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
   Isaiah|35:2  It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and
 singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of
 Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, [and] the

 excellency of our God.
   Isaiah|35:3  Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
   Isaiah|35:4  Say to them [that are] of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear
 not: behold, your God will come [with] vengeance, [even] God [with] a
 recompense; he will come and save you.
   Isaiah|35:5  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of
 the deaf shall be unstopped.
   Isaiah|35:6  Then shall the lame [man] leap as an hart, and the tongue of
 the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in
 the desert.
   Isaiah|35:7  And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty
 land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, [shall
 be] grass with reeds and rushes.
   Isaiah|35:8  And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be
 called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it
 [shall be] for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err
 [therein].
   Isaiah|35:9  No lion shall be there, nor [any] ravenous beast shall go up
 thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there]:
   Isaiah|35:10  And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion
 with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and

 gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
   Isaiah|36:1  Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah,
 [that] Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities
 of Judah, and took them.
   Isaiah|36:2  And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to
 Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit
 of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
   Isaiah|36:3  Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was
 over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
   Isaiah|36:4  And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus
 saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence [is] this
 wherein thou trustest?
   Isaiah|36:5  I say, [sayest thou], (but [they are but] vain words) [I
 have] counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou
 rebellest against me?
   Isaiah|36:6  Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on
 Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so
 [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
   Isaiah|36:7  But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is it]
 not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and
 said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

   Isaiah|36:8  Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the
 king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able
 on thy part to set riders upon them.
   Isaiah|36:9  How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the
 least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and
 for horsemen?
   Isaiah|36:10  And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to
 destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
   Isaiah|36:11  Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh,
 Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we
 understand [it]; and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of
 the people that [are] on the wall.
   Isaiah|36:12  But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master
 and to thee to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men that
 sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own
 piss with you?
   Isaiah|36:13  Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the
 Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of
 Assyria.
   Isaiah|36:14  Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he
 shall not be able to deliver you.

   Isaiah|36:15  Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying,
 The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the
 hand of the king of Assyria.
   Isaiah|36:16  Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of
 Assyria, Make [an agreement] with me [by] a present, and come out to me:
 and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink
 ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
   Isaiah|36:17  Until I come and take you away to a land like your own
 land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
   Isaiah|36:18  [Beware] lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will
 deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of
 the hand of the king of Assyria?
   Isaiah|36:19  Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where [are] the
 gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
   Isaiah|36:20  Who [are they] among all the gods of these lands, that have
 delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem
 out of my hand?
   Isaiah|36:21  But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for
 the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
   Isaiah|36:22  Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that [was] over the
 household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder,

 to Hezekiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
   Isaiah|37:1  And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he
 rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the
 house of the LORD.
   Isaiah|37:2  And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and
 Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth,
 unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
   Isaiah|37:3  And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a
 day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come
 to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
   Isaiah|37:4  It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh,
 whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God,
 and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore
 lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
   Isaiah|37:5  So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
   Isaiah|37:6  And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your
 master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast
 heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
   Isaiah|37:7  Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a
 rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the
 sword in his own land.

   Isaiah|37:8  So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring
 against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
   Isaiah|37:9  And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is
 come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent
 messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
   Isaiah|37:10  Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let
 not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall
 not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
   Isaiah|37:11  Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done
 to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
   Isaiah|37:12  Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my
 fathers have destroyed, [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children
 of Eden which [were] in Telassar?
   Isaiah|37:13  Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and
 the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
   Isaiah|37:14  And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the
 messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD,
 and spread it before the LORD.
   Isaiah|37:15  And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
   Isaiah|37:16  O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the
 cherubims, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of

 the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
   Isaiah|37:17  Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O
 LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to
 reproach the living God.
   Isaiah|37:18  Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all
 the nations, and their countries.
   Isaiah|37:19  And have cast their gods into the fire: for they [were] no
 gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have
 destroyed them.
   Isaiah|37:20  Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that
 all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD, [even]
 thou only.
   Isaiah|37:21  Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying,
 Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against
 Sennacherib king of Assyria:
   Isaiah|37:22  This [is] the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning
 him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, [and] laughed
 thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
   Isaiah|37:23  Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom
 hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even]
 against the Holy One of Israel.

   Isaiah|37:24  By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast
 said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the
 mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars
 thereof, [and] the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the
 height of his border, [and] the forest of his Carmel.
   Isaiah|37:25  I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my
 feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
   Isaiah|37:26  Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have done it; [and]
 of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass,
 that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities [into] ruinous heaps.
   Isaiah|37:27  Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power, they
 were dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field, and
 [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and [as corn] blasted
 before it be grown up.
   Isaiah|37:28  But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in,
 and thy rage against me.
   Isaiah|37:29  Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up
 into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in
 thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
   Isaiah|37:30  And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat [this]
 year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of

 the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and
 eat the fruit thereof.
   Isaiah|37:31  And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall
 again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
   Isaiah|37:32  For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they
 that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
   Isaiah|37:33  Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of
 Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor
 come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
   Isaiah|37:34  By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and
 shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
   Isaiah|37:35  For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake,
 and for my servant David's sake.
   Isaiah|37:36  Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the
 camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when
 they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
   Isaiah|37:37  So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and
 returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
   Isaiah|37:38  And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of
 Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the
 sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son

 reigned in his stead.
   Isaiah|38:1  In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the
 prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the
 LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
   Isaiah|38:2  Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed
 unto the LORD,
   Isaiah|38:3  And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have
 walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done [that
 which is] good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
   Isaiah|38:4  Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
   Isaiah|38:5  Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of
 David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I
 will add unto thy days fifteen years.
   Isaiah|38:6  And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the
 king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
   Isaiah|38:7  And this [shall be] a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the
 LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
   Isaiah|38:8  Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which
 is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun
 returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
   Isaiah|38:9  The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been

 sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
   Isaiah|38:10  I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the
 gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
   Isaiah|38:11  I said, I shall not see the LORD, [even] the LORD, in the
 land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the
 world.
   Isaiah|38:12  Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a
 shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off
 with pining sickness: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.
   Isaiah|38:13  I reckoned till morning, [that], as a lion, so will he
 break all my bones: from day [even] to night wilt thou make an end of me.
   Isaiah|38:14  Like a crane [or] a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn
 as a dove: mine eyes fail [with looking] upward: O LORD, I am oppressed;
 undertake for me.
   Isaiah|38:15  What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself
 hath done [it]: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my
 soul.
   Isaiah|38:16  O Lord, by these [things men] live, and in all these
 [things is] the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to
 live.
   Isaiah|38:17  Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in

 love to my soul [delivered it] from the pit of corruption: for thou hast
 cast all my sins behind thy back.
   Isaiah|38:18  For the grave cannot praise thee, death can [not] celebrate
 thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
   Isaiah|38:19  The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I [do]
 this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
   Isaiah|38:20  The LORD [was ready] to save me: therefore we will sing my
 songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of
 the LORD.
   Isaiah|38:21  For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay
 [it] for a plaster upon the boil, and he shall recover.
   Isaiah|38:22  Hezekiah also had said, What [is] the sign that I shall go
 up to the house of the LORD?
   Isaiah|39:1  At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of
 Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he
 had been sick, and was recovered.
   Isaiah|39:2  And Hezekiah was glad of them, and showed them the house of
 his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the
 precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found
 in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion,
 that Hezekiah showed them not.

   Isaiah|39:3  Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said
 unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And
 Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, [even] from
 Babylon.
   Isaiah|39:4  Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And
 Hezekiah answered, All that [is] in mine house have they seen: there is
 nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.
   Isaiah|39:5  Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of
 hosts:
   Isaiah|39:6  Behold, the days come, that all that [is] in thine house,
 and [that] which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be
 carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
   Isaiah|39:7  And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt
 beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the
 king of Babylon.
   Isaiah|39:8  Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good [is] the word of the LORD
 which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and
 truth in my days.
   Isaiah|40:1  Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
   Isaiah|40:2  Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that
 her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath

 received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.
   Isaiah|40:3  The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye
 the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
   Isaiah|40:4  Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill
 shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough
 places plain:
   Isaiah|40:5  And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh
 shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it].
   Isaiah|40:6  The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All
 flesh [is] grass, and all the goodliness thereof [is] as the flower of the
 field:
   Isaiah|40:7  The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit
 of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
   Isaiah|40:8  The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our
 God shall stand for ever.
   Isaiah|40:9  O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the
 high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice
 with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah,
 Behold your God!
   Isaiah|40:10  Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong [hand], and his
 arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work

 before him.
   Isaiah|40:11  He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather
 the lambs with his arm, and carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently
 lead those that are with young.
   Isaiah|40:12  Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and
 meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a
 measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
   Isaiah|40:13  Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or [being] his
 counsellor hath taught him?
   Isaiah|40:14  With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and
 taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to
 him the way of understanding?
   Isaiah|40:15  Behold, the nations [are] as a drop of a bucket, and are
 counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as
 a very little thing.
   Isaiah|40:16  And Lebanon [is] not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts
 thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
   Isaiah|40:17  All nations before him [are] as nothing; and they are
 counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
   Isaiah|40:18  To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye
 compare unto him?

   Isaiah|40:19  The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith
 spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
   Isaiah|40:20  He that [is] so impoverished that he hath no oblation
 chooseth a tree [that] will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman
 to prepare a graven image, [that] shall not be moved.
   Isaiah|40:21  Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told
 you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the
 earth?
   Isaiah|40:22  [It is] he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and
 the inhabitants thereof [are] as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the
 heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
   Isaiah|40:23  That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges
 of the earth as vanity.
   Isaiah|40:24  Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be
 sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also
 blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them
 away as stubble.
   Isaiah|40:25  To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith
 the Holy One.
   Isaiah|40:26  Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created
 these [things], that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all

 by names by the greatness of his might, for that [he is] strong in power;
 not one faileth.
   Isaiah|40:27  Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is
 hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
   Isaiah|40:28  Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the
 everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth
 not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.
   Isaiah|40:29  He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no
 might he increaseth strength.
   Isaiah|40:30  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men
 shall utterly fall:
   Isaiah|40:31  But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their]
 strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not
 be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.
   Isaiah|41:1  Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew
 [their] strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near
 together to judgment.
   Isaiah|41:2  Who raised up the righteous [man] from the east, called him
 to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made [him] rule over kings?
 he gave [them] as the dust to his sword, [and] as driven stubble to his
 bow.

   Isaiah|41:3  He pursued them, [and] passed safely; [even] by the way
 [that] he had not gone with his feet.
   Isaiah|41:4  Who hath wrought and done [it], calling the generations from
 the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I [am] he.
   Isaiah|41:5  The isles saw [it], and feared; the ends of the earth were
 afraid, drew near, and came.
   Isaiah|41:6  They helped every one his neighbour; and [every one] said to
 his brother, Be of good courage.
   Isaiah|41:7  So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, [and] he that
 smootheth [with] the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It [is] ready
 for the soldering: and he fastened it with nails, [that] it should not be
 moved.
   Isaiah|41:8  But thou, Israel, [art] my servant, Jacob whom I have
 chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
   Isaiah|41:9  [Thou] whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and
 called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou [art] my
 servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
   Isaiah|41:10  Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I
 [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will
 uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
   Isaiah|41:11  Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be

 ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with
 thee shall perish.
   Isaiah|41:12  Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, [even] them
 that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing,
 and as a thing of nought.
   Isaiah|41:13  For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying
 unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
   Isaiah|41:14  Fear not, thou worm Jacob, [and] ye men of Israel; I will
 help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
   Isaiah|41:15  Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument
 having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat [them] small, and
 shalt make the hills as chaff.
   Isaiah|41:16  Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away,
 and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD,
 [and] shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
   Isaiah|41:17  [When] the poor and needy seek water, and [there is] none,
 [and] their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God
 of Israel will not forsake them.
   Isaiah|41:18  I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the
 midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the
 dry land springs of water.

   Isaiah|41:19  I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree,
 and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree,
 [and] the pine, and the box tree together:
   Isaiah|41:20  That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand
 together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of
 Israel hath created it.
   Isaiah|41:21  Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong
 [reasons], saith the King of Jacob.
   Isaiah|41:22  Let them bring [them] forth, and show us what shall happen:
 let them show the former things, what they [be], that we may consider them,
 and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
   Isaiah|41:23  Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may
 know that ye [are] gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed,
 and behold [it] together.
   Isaiah|41:24  Behold, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought: an
 abomination [is he that] chooseth you.
   Isaiah|41:25  I have raised up [one] from the north, and he shall come:
 from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come
 upon princes as [upon] mortar, and as the potter treadeth clay.
   Isaiah|41:26  Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and
 beforetime, that we may say, [He is] righteous? yea, [there is] none that

 showeth, yea, [there is] none that declareth, yea, [there is] none that
 heareth your words.
   Isaiah|41:27  The first [shall say] to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I
 will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
   Isaiah|41:28  For I beheld, and [there was] no man; even among them, and
 [there was] no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
   Isaiah|41:29  Behold, they [are] all vanity; their works [are] nothing:
 their molten images [are] wind and confusion.
   Isaiah|42:1  Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, [in whom] my
 soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth
 judgment to the Gentiles.
   Isaiah|42:2  He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be
 heard in the street.
   Isaiah|42:3  A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax
 shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
   Isaiah|42:4  He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set
 judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
   Isaiah|42:5  Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and
 stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh
 out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to
 them that walk therein:

   Isaiah|42:6  I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold
 thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people,
 for a light of the Gentiles;
   Isaiah|42:7  To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the
 prison, [and] them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
   Isaiah|42:8  I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not
 give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
   Isaiah|42:9  Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things
 do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
   Isaiah|42:10  Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and] his praise from the
 end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the
 isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
   Isaiah|42:11  Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up [their
 voice], the villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the
 rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
   Isaiah|42:12  Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise
 in the islands.
   Isaiah|42:13  The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up
 jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail
 against his enemies.
   Isaiah|42:14  I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, [and]

 refrained myself: [now] will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy
 and devour at once.
   Isaiah|42:15  I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their
 herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
   Isaiah|42:16  And I will bring the blind by a way [that] they knew not; I
 will lead them in paths [that] they have not known: I will make darkness
 light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto
 them, and not forsake them.
   Isaiah|42:17  They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed,
 that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye [are] our
 gods.
   Isaiah|42:18  Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
   Isaiah|42:19  Who [is] blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger
 [that] I sent? who [is] blind as [he that is] perfect, and blind as the
 LORD's servant?
   Isaiah|42:20  Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the
 ears, but he heareth not.
   Isaiah|42:21  The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he
 will magnify the law, and make [it] honourable.
   Isaiah|42:22  But this [is] a people robbed and spoiled; [they are] all
 of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a

 prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
   Isaiah|42:23  Who among you will give ear to this? [who] will hearken and
 hear for the time to come?
   Isaiah|42:24  Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did
 not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in
 his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
   Isaiah|42:25  Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger,
 and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he
 knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid [it] not to heart.
   Isaiah|43:1  But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and
 he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have
 called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine.
   Isaiah|43:2  When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee;
 and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest
 through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle
 upon thee.
   Isaiah|43:3  For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy
 Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
   Isaiah|43:4  Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been
 honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and
 people for thy life.

   Isaiah|43:5  Fear not: for I [am] with thee: I will bring thy seed from
 the east, and gather thee from the west;
   Isaiah|43:6  I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not
 back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
   Isaiah|43:7  [Even] every one that is called by my name: for I have
 created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
   Isaiah|43:8  Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf
 that have ears.
   Isaiah|43:9  Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people
 be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things?
 let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let
 them hear, and say, [It is] truth.
   Isaiah|43:10  Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom
 I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I [am]
 he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
   Isaiah|43:11  I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no
 saviour.
   Isaiah|43:12  I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when
 [there was] no strange [god] among you: therefore ye [are] my witnesses,
 saith the LORD, that I [am] God.
   Isaiah|43:13  Yea, before the day [was] I [am] he; and [there is] none

 that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
   Isaiah|43:14  Thus saith the LORD, your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
 For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their
 nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry [is] in the ships.
   Isaiah|43:15  I [am] the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your
 King.
   Isaiah|43:16  Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a
 path in the mighty waters;
   Isaiah|43:17  Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and
 the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are
 extinct, they are quenched as tow.
   Isaiah|43:18  Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the
 things of old.
   Isaiah|43:19  Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth;
 shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and]
 rivers in the desert.
   Isaiah|43:20  The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the
 owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert,
 to give drink to my people, my chosen.
   Isaiah|43:21  This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth
 my praise.

   Isaiah|43:22  But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast
 been weary of me, O Israel.
   Isaiah|43:23  Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt
 offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not
 caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
   Isaiah|43:24  Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast
 thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to
 serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
   Isaiah|43:25  I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions
 for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
   Isaiah|43:26  Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou,
 that thou mayest be justified.
   Isaiah|43:27  Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have
 transgressed against me.
   Isaiah|43:28  Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and
 have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
   Isaiah|44:1  Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have
 chosen:
   Isaiah|44:2  Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the
 womb, [which] will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou,
 Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

   Isaiah|44:3  For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods
 upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing
 upon thine offspring:
   Isaiah|44:4  And they shall spring up [as] among the grass, as willows by
 the water courses.
   Isaiah|44:5  One shall say, I [am] the LORD's; and another shall call
 [himself] by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe [with] his hand
 unto the LORD, and surname [himself] by the name of Israel.
   Isaiah|44:6  Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the
 LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there
 is] no God.
   Isaiah|44:7  And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and set it
 in order for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that
 are coming, and shall come, let them show unto them.
   Isaiah|44:8  Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from
 that time, and have declared [it]? ye [are] even my witnesses. Is there a
 God beside me? yea, [there is] no God; I know not [any].
   Isaiah|44:9  They that make a graven image [are] all of them vanity; and
 their delectable things shall not profit; and they [are] their own
 witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
   Isaiah|44:10  Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image [that] is

 profitable for nothing?
   Isaiah|44:11  Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen,
 they [are] of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up;
 [yet] they shall fear, [and] they shall be ashamed together.
   Isaiah|44:12  The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and
 fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms:
 yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is
 faint.
   Isaiah|44:13  The carpenter stretcheth out [his] rule; he marketh it out
 with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the
 compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty
 of a man; that it may remain in the house.
   Isaiah|44:14  He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the
 oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he
 planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish [it].
   Isaiah|44:15  Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take
 thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth [it], and baketh bread; yea, he
 maketh a god, and worshippeth [it]; he maketh it a graven image, and
 falleth down thereto.
   Isaiah|44:16  He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he
 eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth

 [himself], and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
   Isaiah|44:17  And the residue thereof he maketh a god, [even] his graven
 image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth [it], and prayeth unto it,
 and saith, Deliver me; for thou [art] my god.
   Isaiah|44:18  They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their
 eyes, that they cannot see; [and] their hearts, that they cannot
 understand.
   Isaiah|44:19  And none considereth in his heart, neither [is there]
 knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire;
 yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh,
 and eaten [it]: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall
 I fall down to the stock of a tree?
   Isaiah|44:20  He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him
 aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, [Is there] not a lie in my
 right hand?
   Isaiah|44:21  Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou [art] my
 servant: I have formed thee; thou [art] my servant: O Israel, thou shalt
 not be forgotten of me.
   Isaiah|44:22  I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions,
 and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
   Isaiah|44:23  Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done [it]: shout, ye

 lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest,
 and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified
 himself in Israel.
   Isaiah|44:24  Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee
 from the womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth
 forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
   Isaiah|44:25  That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh
 diviners mad; that turneth wise [men] backward, and maketh their knowledge
 foolish;
   Isaiah|44:26  That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the
 counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be
 inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise
 up the decayed places thereof:
   Isaiah|44:27  That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy
 rivers:
   Isaiah|44:28  That saith of Cyrus, [He is] my shepherd, and shall perform
 all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the
 temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.
   Isaiah|45:1  Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right
 hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the
 loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates

 shall not be shut;
   Isaiah|45:2  I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight:
 I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of
 iron:
   Isaiah|45:3  And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden
 riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call
 [thee] by thy name, [am] the God of Israel.
   Isaiah|45:4  For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have
 even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not
 known me.
   Isaiah|45:5  I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else, [there is] no God
 beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
   Isaiah|45:6  That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the
 west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none
 else.
   Isaiah|45:7  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and
 create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
   Isaiah|45:8  Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour
 down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation,
 and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
   Isaiah|45:9  Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! [Let] the

 potsherd [strive] with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to
 him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
   Isaiah|45:10  Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest
 thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
   Isaiah|45:11  Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker,
 Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my
 hands command ye me.
   Isaiah|45:12  I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, [even]
 my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I
 commanded.
   Isaiah|45:13  I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct
 all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not
 for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Isaiah|45:14  Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise
 of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee,
 and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall
 come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication
 unto thee, [saying], Surely God [is] in thee; and [there is] none else,
 [there is] no God.
   Isaiah|45:15  Verily thou [art] a God that hidest thyself, O God of
 Israel, the Saviour.

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

 [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall
 bow, every tongue shall swear.
   Isaiah|45:24  Surely, shall [one] say, in the LORD have I righteousness
 and strength: [even] to him shall [men] come; and all that are incensed
 against him shall be ashamed.
   Isaiah|45:25  In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and
 shall glory.
   Isaiah|46:1  Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the
 beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages [were] heavy loaden; [they are]
 a burden to the weary [beast].
   Isaiah|46:2  They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver
 the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
   Isaiah|46:3  Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of
 the house of Israel, which are borne [by me] from the belly, which are
 carried from the womb:
   Isaiah|46:4  And [even] to [your] old age I [am] he; and [even] to hoar
 hairs will I carry [you]: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry,
 and will deliver [you].
   Isaiah|46:5  To whom will ye liken me, and make [me] equal, and compare
 me, that we may be like?
   Isaiah|46:6  They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the

 balance, [and] hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down,
 yea, they worship.
   Isaiah|46:7  They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him
 in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea,
 [one] shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his
 trouble.
   Isaiah|46:8  Remember this, and show yourselves men: bring [it] again to
 mind, O ye transgressors.
   Isaiah|46:9  Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and
 [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me,
   Isaiah|46:10  Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient
 times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand,
 and I will do all my pleasure:
   Isaiah|46:11  Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that
 executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken [it], I will
 also bring it to pass; I have purposed [it], I will also do it.
   Isaiah|46:12  Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that [are] far from
 righteousness:
   Isaiah|46:13  I bring near my righteousness: it shall not be far off, and
 my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel
 my glory.

   Isaiah|47:1  Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of
 Babylon, sit on the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the
 Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
   Isaiah|47:2  Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make
 bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
   Isaiah|47:3  Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be
 seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet [thee as] a man.
   Isaiah|47:4  [As for] our redeemer, the LORD of hosts [is] his name, the
 Holy One of Israel.
   Isaiah|47:5  Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of
 the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
   Isaiah|47:6  I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine
 inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst show them no mercy;
 upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
   Isaiah|47:7  And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: [so] that thou
 didst not lay these [things] to thy heart, neither didst remember the
 latter end of it.
   Isaiah|47:8  Therefore hear now this, [thou that art] given to pleasures,
 that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I [am], and none else
 beside me; I shall not sit [as] a widow, neither shall I know the loss of
 children:

   Isaiah|47:9  But these two [things] shall come to thee in a moment in one
 day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in
 their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, [and] for the great
 abundance of thine enchantments.
   Isaiah|47:10  For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said,
 None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and
 thou hast said in thine heart, I [am], and none else beside me.
   Isaiah|47:11  Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know
 from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be
 able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, [which]
 thou shalt not know.
   Isaiah|47:12  Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude
 of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou
 shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
   Isaiah|47:13  Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now
 the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and
 save thee from [these things] that shall come upon thee.
   Isaiah|47:14  Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them;
 they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: [there
 shall] not [be] a coal to warm at, [nor] fire to sit before it.
   Isaiah|47:15  Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured,

 [even] thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his
 quarter; none shall save thee.
   Isaiah|48:1  Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name
 of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by
 the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, [but] not in
 truth, nor in righteousness.
   Isaiah|48:2  For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay
 themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
   Isaiah|48:3  I have declared the former things from the beginning; and
 they went forth out of my mouth, and I showed them; I did [them] suddenly,
 and they came to pass.
   Isaiah|48:4  Because I knew that thou [art] obstinate, and thy neck [is]
 an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
   Isaiah|48:5  I have even from the beginning declared [it] to thee; before
 it came to pass I showed [it] thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath
 done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
   Isaiah|48:6  Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare [it]?
 I have showed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou
 didst not know them.
   Isaiah|48:7  They are created now, and not from the beginning; even
 before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say,

 Behold, I knew them.
   Isaiah|48:8  Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from
 that time [that] thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest
 deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
   Isaiah|48:9  For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my
 praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
   Isaiah|48:10  Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have
 chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
   Isaiah|48:11  For mine own sake, [even] for mine own sake, will I do
 [it]: for how should [my name] be polluted? and I will not give my glory
 unto another.

 Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of
 Zion.

 shall know] in that day that I [am] he that doth speak: behold, [it is] I.

 their mouths at him: for [that] which had not been told them shall they
 see; and [that] which they had not heard shall they consider.
   Isaiah|53:1  Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the
 LORD revealed?

 to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

 his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before
 her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
   Isaiah|53:8  He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall
 declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living:

 his death; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his
 mouth.

 prosper in his hand.

 that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk

 ways my ways, saith the LORD.

 shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,
 and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.

 sabbaths, and choose [the things] that please me, and take hold of my
 covenant;

 a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them
 an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.

 LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants,
 every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my
 covenant;

 [shall be] accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an
 house of prayer for all people.

 the adulterer and the whore.
   Isaiah|57:4  Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a
 wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? [are] ye not children of
 transgression, a seed of falsehood,

 slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?

 thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
   Isaiah|57:8  Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy
 remembrance: for thou hast discovered [thyself to another] than me, and art
 gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee [a covenant] with them;
 thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest [it].

 thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand;

   Isaiah|57:11  And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast
 lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid [it] to thy heart? have not I
 held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
   Isaiah|57:12  I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they
 shall not profit thee.
   Isaiah|57:13  When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the
 wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take [them]: but he that
 putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy
 mountain;
   Isaiah|57:14  And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way,
 take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people.
   Isaiah|57:15  For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth
 eternity, whose name [is] Holy; I dwell in the high and holy [place], with
 him also [that is] of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of
 the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
   Isaiah|57:16  For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always
 wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls [which] I have

 made.
   Isaiah|57:17  For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote
 him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his
 heart.
   Isaiah|57:18  I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him
 also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
   Isaiah|57:19  I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to [him that
 is] far off, and to [him that is] near, saith the LORD; and I will heal
 him.
   Isaiah|57:20  But the wicked [are] like the troubled sea, when it cannot
 rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
   Isaiah|57:21  [There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
   Isaiah|58:1  Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and
 show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
   Isaiah|58:2  Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a
 nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God:
 they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching
 to God.
   Isaiah|58:3  Wherefore have we fasted, [say they], and thou seest not?
 [wherefore] have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge?
 Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your

 labours.
   Isaiah|58:4  Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the
 fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as [ye do this] day, to make your
 voice to be heard on high.
   Isaiah|58:5  Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to
 afflict his soul? [is it] to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread
 sackcloth and ashes [under him]? wilt thou call this a fast, and an
 acceptable day to the LORD?
   Isaiah|58:6  [Is] not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the
 bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go
 free, and that ye break every yoke?
   Isaiah|58:7  [Is it] not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou
 bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked,
 that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
   Isaiah|58:8  Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine
 health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before
 thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
   Isaiah|58:9  Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt
 cry, and he shall say, Here I [am]. If thou take away from the midst of
 thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
   Isaiah|58:10  And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy

 the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy
 darkness [be] as the noon day:
   Isaiah|58:11  And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy
 soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered
 garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
   Isaiah|58:12  And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste
 places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou
 shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell
 in.
   Isaiah|58:13  If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, [from] doing
 thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of
 the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor
 finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine own] words:
   Isaiah|58:14  Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will
 cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with
 the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken
 [it].
   Isaiah|59:1  Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot
 save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
   Isaiah|59:2  But your iniquities have separated between you and your God,
 and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear.

   Isaiah|59:3  For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with
 iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered
 perverseness.
   Isaiah|59:4  None calleth for justice, nor [any] pleadeth for truth: they
 trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth
 iniquity.
   Isaiah|59:5  They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he
 that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out
 into a viper.
   Isaiah|59:6  Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they
 cover themselves with their works: their works [are] works of iniquity, and
 the act of violence [is] in their hands.
   Isaiah|59:7  Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent
 blood: their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction
 [are] in their paths.
   Isaiah|59:8  The way of peace they know not; and [there is] no judgment
 in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein
 shall not know peace.
   Isaiah|59:9  Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice
 overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, [but]
 we walk in darkness.

   Isaiah|59:10  We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if
 [we had] no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; [we are] in
 desolate places as dead [men].
   Isaiah|59:11  We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look
 for judgment, but [there is] none; for salvation, [but] it is far off from
 us.
   Isaiah|59:12  For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our
 sins testify against us: for our transgressions [are] with us; and [as for]
 our iniquities, we know them;
   Isaiah|59:13  In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing
 away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering
 from the heart words of falsehood.
   Isaiah|59:14  And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth
 afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
   Isaiah|59:15  Yea, truth faileth; and he [that] departeth from evil
 maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw [it], and it displeased him that
 [there was] no judgment.
   Isaiah|59:16  And he saw that [there was] no man, and wondered that
 [there was] no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;
 and his righteousness, it sustained him.
   Isaiah|59:17  For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet

 of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance [for]
 clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
   Isaiah|59:18  According to [their] deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury
 to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay
 recompense.
   Isaiah|59:19  So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and
 his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a
 flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
   Isaiah|59:20  And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that
 turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
   Isaiah|59:21  As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, saith the LORD;
 My spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth,
 shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor
 out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and
 for ever.
   Isaiah|60:1  Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the
 LORD is risen upon thee.
   Isaiah|60:2  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross
 darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory
 shall be seen upon thee.
   Isaiah|60:3  And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the

 brightness of thy rising.
   Isaiah|60:4  Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather
 themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and
 thy daughters shall be nursed at [thy] side.
   Isaiah|60:5  Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart
 shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be
 converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
   Isaiah|60:6  The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of
 Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and
 incense; and they shall show forth the praises of the LORD.
   Isaiah|60:7  All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto
 thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up
 with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
   Isaiah|60:8  Who [are] these [that] fly as a cloud, and as the doves to
 their windows?
   Isaiah|60:9  Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of
 Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold
 with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of
 Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
   Isaiah|60:10  And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and
 their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in

 my favour have I had mercy on thee.
   Isaiah|60:11  Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall
 not be shut day nor night; that [men] may bring unto thee the forces of the
 Gentiles, and [that] their kings [may be] brought.
   Isaiah|60:12  For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall
 perish; yea, [those] nations shall be utterly wasted.
   Isaiah|60:13  The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree,
 the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary;
 and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
   Isaiah|60:14  The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come
 bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves
 down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the
 LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
   Isaiah|60:15  Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man
 went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many
 generations.
   Isaiah|60:16  Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt
 suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD [am] thy
 Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
   Isaiah|60:17  For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring
 silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron: I will also make thy

 officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness.
   Isaiah|60:18  Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor
 destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation,
 and thy gates Praise.
   Isaiah|60:19  The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for
 brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto
 thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
   Isaiah|60:20  Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon
 withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the
 days of thy mourning shall be ended.
   Isaiah|60:21  Thy people also [shall be] all righteous: they shall
 inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands,
 that I may be glorified.
   Isaiah|60:22  A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a
 strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.
   Isaiah|61:1  The spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD
 hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to
 bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the
 opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;
   Isaiah|61:2  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of
 vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

   Isaiah|61:3  To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them
 beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for
 the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness,
 the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
   Isaiah|61:4  And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the
 former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations
 of many generations.
   Isaiah|61:5  And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons
 of the alien [shall be] your plowmen and your vinedressers.
   Isaiah|61:6  But ye shall be named the Priests of the LORD: [men] shall
 call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles,
 and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
   Isaiah|61:7  For your shame [ye shall have] double; and [for] confusion
 they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall
 possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.
   Isaiah|61:8  For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt
 offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an
 everlasting covenant with them.
   Isaiah|61:9  And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their
 offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that
 they [are] the seed [which] the LORD hath blessed.

   Isaiah|61:10  I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful
 in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath
 covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh
 [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her
 jewels.
   Isaiah|61:11  For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden
 causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD
 will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
   Isaiah|62:1  For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for
 Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth
 as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp [that] burneth.
   Isaiah|62:2  And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings
 thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the
 LORD shall name.
   Isaiah|62:3  Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD,
 and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
   Isaiah|62:4  Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy
 land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and
 thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be
 married.
   Isaiah|62:5  For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons

 marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall
 thy God rejoice over thee.
   Isaiah|62:6  I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, [which]
 shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the
 LORD, keep not silence.
   Isaiah|62:7  And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make
 Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
   Isaiah|62:8  The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his
 strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn [to be] meat for thine
 enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the
 which thou hast laboured:
   Isaiah|62:9  But they that have gathered it shall eat it and praise the
 LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts
 of my holiness.
   Isaiah|62:10  Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the
 people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a
 standard for the people.
   Isaiah|62:11  Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world,
 Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his
 reward [is] with him, and his work before him.
   Isaiah|62:12  And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of

 the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
   Isaiah|63:1  Who [is] this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from
 Bozrah? this [that is] glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness
 of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
   Isaiah|63:2  Wherefore [art thou] red in thine apparel, and thy garments
 like him that treadeth in the winefat?
   Isaiah|63:3  I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people [there
 was] none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in
 my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will
 stain all my raiment.
   Isaiah|63:4  For the day of vengeance [is] in mine heart, and the year of
 my redeemed is come.
   Isaiah|63:5  And I looked, and [there was] none to help; and I wondered
 that [there was] none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation
 unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
   Isaiah|63:6  And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make
 them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
   Isaiah|63:7  I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, [and] the
 praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us,
 and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed
 on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his

 lovingkindnesses.
   Isaiah|63:8  For he said, Surely they [are] my people, children [that]
 will not lie: so he was their Saviour.
   Isaiah|63:9  In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of
 his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and
 he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
   Isaiah|63:10  But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he
 was turned to be their enemy, [and] he fought against them.
   Isaiah|63:11  Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, [and] his
 people, [saying], Where [is] he that brought them up out of the sea with
 the shepherd of his flock? where [is] he that put his holy Spirit within
 him?
   Isaiah|63:12  That led [them] by the right hand of Moses with his
 glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an
 everlasting name?
   Isaiah|63:13  That led them through the deep, as an horse in the
 wilderness, [that] they should not stumble?
   Isaiah|63:14  As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the
 LORD caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a
 glorious name.
   Isaiah|63:15  Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of

 thy holiness and of thy glory: where [is] thy zeal and thy strength, the
 sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained?
   Isaiah|63:16  Doubtless thou [art] our father, though Abraham be ignorant
 of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, [art] our father, our
 redeemer; thy name [is] from everlasting.
   Isaiah|63:17  O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, [and]
 hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes
 of thine inheritance.
   Isaiah|63:18  The people of thy holiness have possessed [it] but a little
 while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
   Isaiah|63:19  We are [thine]: thou never barest rule over them; they were
 not called by thy name.
   Isaiah|64:1  Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest
 come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence.
   Isaiah|64:2  As [when] the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the
 waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, [that] the
 nations may tremble at thy presence!
   Isaiah|64:3  When thou didst terrible things [which] we looked not for,
 thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
   Isaiah|64:4  For since the beginning of the world [men] have not heard,
 nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee,

 [what] he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
   Isaiah|64:5  Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness,
 [those that] remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have
 sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
   Isaiah|64:6  But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our
 righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our
 iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
   Isaiah|64:7  And [there is] none that calleth upon thy name, that
 stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from
 us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
   Isaiah|64:8  But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay,
 and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand.
   Isaiah|64:9  Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity
 for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we [are] all thy people.
   Isaiah|64:10  Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness,
 Jerusalem a desolation.
   Isaiah|64:11  Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised
 thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
   Isaiah|64:12  Wilt thou refrain thyself for these [things], O LORD? wilt
 thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
   Isaiah|65:1  I am sought of [them that] asked not [for me]; I am found of

 [them that] sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation
 [that] was not called by my name.
   Isaiah|65:2  I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious
 people, which walketh in a way [that was] not good, after their own
 thoughts;
   Isaiah|65:3  A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face;
 that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
   Isaiah|65:4  Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments,
 which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable [things is in] their
 vessels;
   Isaiah|65:5  Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am
 holier than thou. These [are] a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all
 the day.
   Isaiah|65:6  Behold, [it is] written before me: I will not keep silence,
 but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
   Isaiah|65:7  Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers
 together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and
 blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work
 into their bosom.
   Isaiah|65:8  Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the
 cluster, and [one] saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing [is] in it: so

 will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
   Isaiah|65:9  And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah
 an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my
 servants shall dwell there.
   Isaiah|65:10  And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of
 Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought
 me.
   Isaiah|65:11  But ye [are] they that forsake the LORD, that forget my
 holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the
 drink offering unto that number.
   Isaiah|65:12  Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all
 bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I
 spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose
 [that] wherein I delighted not.
   Isaiah|65:13  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants
 shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye
 shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be
 ashamed:
   Isaiah|65:14  Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye
 shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
   Isaiah|65:15  And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen:

 for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
   Isaiah|65:16  That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless
 himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear
 by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because
 they are hid from mine eyes.
   Isaiah|65:17  For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the
 former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
   Isaiah|65:18  But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I
 create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
   Isaiah|65:19  And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and
 the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of
 crying.
   Isaiah|65:20  There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old
 man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years
 old; but the sinner [being] an hundred years old shall be accursed.
   Isaiah|65:21  And they shall build houses, and inhabit [them]; and they
 shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
   Isaiah|65:22  They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not
 plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree [are] the days of my
 people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
   Isaiah|65:23  They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble;

 for they [are] the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring
 with them.
   Isaiah|65:24  And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will
 answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
   Isaiah|65:25  The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion
 shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust [shall be] the serpent's meat.
 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
   Isaiah|66:1  Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my throne, and the
 earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye build unto me? and
 where [is] the place of my rest?
   Isaiah|66:2  For all those [things] hath mine hand made, and all those
 [things] have been, saith the LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even]
 to [him that is] poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
   Isaiah|66:3  He that killeth an ox [is as if] he slew a man; he that
 sacrificeth a lamb, [as if] he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an
 oblation, [as if he offered] swine's blood; he that burneth incense, [as
 if] he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their
 soul delighteth in their abominations.
   Isaiah|66:4  I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their
 fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they
 did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose [that] in which

 I delighted not.
   Isaiah|66:5  Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your
 brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let
 the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be
 ashamed.
   Isaiah|66:6  A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a
 voice of the LORD that rendereth recompense to his enemies.
   Isaiah|66:7  Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain
 came, she was delivered of a man child.
   Isaiah|66:8  Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things?
 Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be
 born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her
 children.
   Isaiah|66:9  Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?
 saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith
 thy God.
   Isaiah|66:10  Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye
 that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
   Isaiah|66:11  That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her
 consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of
 her glory.

   Isaiah|66:12  For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her
 like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then
 shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon [her] sides, and be dandled upon
 [her] knees.
   Isaiah|66:13  As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you;
 and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
   Isaiah|66:14  And when ye see [this], your heart shall rejoice, and your
 bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known
 toward his servants, and [his] indignation toward his enemies.
   Isaiah|66:15  For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his
 chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke
 with flames of fire.
   Isaiah|66:16  For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all
 flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
   Isaiah|66:17  They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the
 gardens behind one [tree] in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the
 abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
   Isaiah|66:18  For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come,
 that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my
 glory.
   Isaiah|66:19  And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those

 that escape of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that
 draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan, [to] the isles afar off, that have not
 heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory
 among the Gentiles.
   Isaiah|66:20  And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering
 unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in
 litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain
 Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a
 clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
   Isaiah|66:21  And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites,
 saith the LORD.
   Isaiah|66:22  For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will
 make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your
 name remain.
   Isaiah|66:23  And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to
 another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship
 before me, saith the LORD.
   Isaiah|66:24  And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the
 men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die,
 neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto
 all flesh.

   Jeremiah|1:1  The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests
 that [were] in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
   Jeremiah|1:2  To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the
 son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
   Jeremiah|1:3  It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
 king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of
 Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the
 fifth month.
   Jeremiah|1:4  Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Jeremiah|1:5  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before
 thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, [and] I ordained thee
 a prophet unto the nations.
   Jeremiah|1:6  Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I
 [am] a child.
   Jeremiah|1:7  But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I [am] a child: for
 thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee
 thou shalt speak.
   Jeremiah|1:8  Be not afraid of their faces: for I [am] with thee to
 deliver thee, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|1:9  Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And
 the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.

   Jeremiah|1:10  See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over
 the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw
 down, to build, and to plant.
   Jeremiah|1:11  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
 Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
   Jeremiah|1:12  Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I
 will hasten my word to perform it.
   Jeremiah|1:13  And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time,
 saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face
 thereof [is] toward the north.
   Jeremiah|1:14  Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall
 break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
   Jeremiah|1:15  For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of
 the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every
 one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all
 the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
   Jeremiah|1:16  And I will utter my judgments against them touching all
 their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other
 gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
   Jeremiah|1:17  Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak
 unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I

 confound thee before them.
   Jeremiah|1:18  For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city,
 and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the
 kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof,
 and against the people of the land.
   Jeremiah|1:19  And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not
 prevail against thee; for I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver
 thee.
   Jeremiah|2:1  Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
   Jeremiah|2:2  Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the
 LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine
 espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land [that
 was] not sown.
   Jeremiah|2:3  Israel [was] holiness unto the LORD, [and] the firstfruits
 of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon
 them, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|2:4  Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the
 families of the house of Israel:
   Jeremiah|2:5  Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found
 in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and
 are become vain?

   Jeremiah|2:6  Neither said they, Where [is] the LORD that brought us up
 out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a
 land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow
 of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man
 dwelt?
   Jeremiah|2:7  And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the
 fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my
 land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
   Jeremiah|2:8  The priests said not, Where [is] the LORD? and they that
 handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and
 the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after [things that] do not
 profit.
   Jeremiah|2:9  Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and
 with your children's children will I plead.
   Jeremiah|2:10  For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto
 Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
   Jeremiah|2:11  Hath a nation changed [their] gods, which [are] yet no
 gods? but my people have changed their glory for [that which] doth not
 profit.
   Jeremiah|2:12  Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly
 afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.

   Jeremiah|2:13  For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken
 me the fountain of living waters, [and] hewed them out cisterns, broken
 cisterns, that can hold no water.
   Jeremiah|2:14  [Is] Israel a servant? [is] he a homeborn [slave]? why is
 he spoiled?
   Jeremiah|2:15  The young lions roared upon him, [and] yelled, and they
 made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
   Jeremiah|2:16  Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the
 crown of thy head.
   Jeremiah|2:17  Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou
 hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
   Jeremiah|2:18  And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink
 the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to
 drink the waters of the river?
   Jeremiah|2:19  Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy
 backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that [it is] an
 evil [thing] and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that
 my fear [is] not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
   Jeremiah|2:20  For of old time I have broken thy yoke, [and] burst thy
 bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill
 and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.

   Jeremiah|2:21  Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed:
 how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto
 me?
   Jeremiah|2:22  For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much
 soap, [yet] thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.
   Jeremiah|2:23  How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone
 after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: [thou
 art] a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
   Jeremiah|2:24  A wild ass used to the wilderness, [that] snuffeth up the
 wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that
 seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
   Jeremiah|2:25  Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from
 thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers,
 and after them will I go.
   Jeremiah|2:26  As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house
 of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and
 their prophets,
   Jeremiah|2:27  Saying to a stock, Thou [art] my father; and to a stone,
 Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned [their] back unto me, and
 not [their] face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise,
 and save us.

   Jeremiah|2:28  But where [are] thy gods that thou hast made thee? let
 them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for
 [according to] the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
   Jeremiah|2:29  Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed
 against me, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|2:30  In vain have I smitten your children; they received no
 correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying
 lion.
   Jeremiah|2:31  O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a
 wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are
 lords; we will come no more unto thee?
   Jeremiah|2:32  Can a maid forget her ornaments, [or] a bride her attire?
 yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
   Jeremiah|2:33  Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast
 thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
   Jeremiah|2:34  Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the
 poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
   Jeremiah|2:35  Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger
 shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I
 have not sinned.
   Jeremiah|2:36  Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou

 also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
   Jeremiah|2:37  Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon
 thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not
 prosper in them.
   Jeremiah|3:1  They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him,
 and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that
 land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers;
 yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|3:2  Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou
 hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian
 in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and
 with thy wickedness.
   Jeremiah|3:3  Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath
 been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to
 be ashamed.
   Jeremiah|3:4  Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou
 [art] the guide of my youth?
   Jeremiah|3:5  Will he reserve [his anger] for ever? will he keep [it] to
 the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
   Jeremiah|3:6  The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king,
 Hast thou seen [that] which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up

 upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played
 the harlot.
   Jeremiah|3:7  And I said after she had done all these [things], Turn thou
 unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw [it].
   Jeremiah|3:8  And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding
 Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of
 divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played
 the harlot also.
   Jeremiah|3:9  And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom,
 that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with
 stocks.
   Jeremiah|3:10  And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not
 turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|3:11  And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath
 justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
   Jeremiah|3:12  Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say,
 Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; [and] I will not cause
 mine anger to fall upon you: for I [am] merciful, saith the LORD, [and] I
 will not keep [anger] for ever.
   Jeremiah|3:13  Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast
 transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the

 strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith
 the LORD.
   Jeremiah|3:14  Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am
 married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family,
 and I will bring you to Zion:
   Jeremiah|3:15  And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which
 shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
   Jeremiah|3:16  And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and
 increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no
 more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind:
 neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit [it]; neither
 shall [that] be done any more.
   Jeremiah|3:17  At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the
 LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the
 LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination
 of their evil heart.
   Jeremiah|3:18  In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house
 of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the
 land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
   Jeremiah|3:19  But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and
 give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I

 said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
   Jeremiah|3:20  Surely [as] a wife treacherously departeth from her
 husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith
 the LORD.
   Jeremiah|3:21  A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping [and]
 supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way,
 [and] they have forgotten the LORD their God.
   Jeremiah|3:22  Return, ye backsliding children, [and] I will heal your
 backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou [art] the LORD our God.
   Jeremiah|3:23  Truly in vain [is salvation hoped for] from the hills,
 [and from] the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God [is] the
 salvation of Israel.
   Jeremiah|3:24  For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our
 youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
   Jeremiah|3:25  We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us:
 for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our
 youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our
 God.
   Jeremiah|4:1  If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto
 me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then
 shalt thou not remove.

   Jeremiah|4:2  And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in
 judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in
 him, and in him shall they glory.
   Jeremiah|4:3  For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem,
 Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
   Jeremiah|4:4  Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the
 foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest
 my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench [it], because
 of the evil of your doings.
   Jeremiah|4:5  Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say,
 Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble
 yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
   Jeremiah|4:6  Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I
 will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
   Jeremiah|4:7  The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of
 the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy
 land desolate; [and] thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
   Jeremiah|4:8  For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the
 fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
   Jeremiah|4:9  And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD,
 [that] the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes;

 and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
   Jeremiah|4:10  Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly
 deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas
 the sword reacheth unto the soul.
   Jeremiah|4:11  At that time shall it be said to this people and to
 Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the
 daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
   Jeremiah|4:12  [Even] a full wind from those [places] shall come unto me:
 now also will I give sentence against them.
   Jeremiah|4:13  Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots
 [shall be] as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us!
 for we are spoiled.
   Jeremiah|4:14  O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou
 mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
   Jeremiah|4:15  For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction
 from mount Ephraim.
   Jeremiah|4:16  Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against
 Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their
 voice against the cities of Judah.
   Jeremiah|4:17  As keepers of a field, are they against her round about;
 because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.

   Jeremiah|4:18  Thy way and thy doings have procured these [things] unto
 thee; this [is] thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth
 unto thine heart.
   Jeremiah|4:19  My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my
 heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast
 heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
   Jeremiah|4:20  Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land
 is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, [and] my curtains in a moment.
   Jeremiah|4:21  How long shall I see the standard, [and] hear the sound of
 the trumpet?
   Jeremiah|4:22  For my people [is] foolish, they have not known me; they
 [are] sottish children, and they have none understanding: they [are] wise
 to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
   Jeremiah|4:23  I beheld the earth, and, lo, [it was] without form, and
 void; and the heavens, and they [had] no light.
   Jeremiah|4:24  I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all
 the hills moved lightly.
   Jeremiah|4:25  I beheld, and, lo, [there was] no man, and all the birds
 of the heavens were fled.
   Jeremiah|4:26  I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place [was] a wilderness,
 and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD,

 [and] by his fierce anger.
   Jeremiah|4:27  For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be
 desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
   Jeremiah|4:28  For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be
 black: because I have spoken [it], I have purposed [it], and will not
 repent, neither will I turn back from it.
   Jeremiah|4:29  The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen
 and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every
 city [shall be] forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
   Jeremiah|4:30  And [when] thou [art] spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though
 thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments
 of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou
 make thyself fair; [thy] lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
   Jeremiah|4:31  For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, [and]
 the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the
 daughter of Zion, [that] bewaileth herself, [that] spreadeth her hands,
 [saying], Woe [is] me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
   Jeremiah|5:1  Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see
 now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man,
 if there be [any] that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I
 will pardon it.

   Jeremiah|5:2  And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear
 falsely.
   Jeremiah|5:3  O LORD, [are] not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast
 stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, [but]
 they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder
 than a rock; they have refused to return.
   Jeremiah|5:4  Therefore I said, Surely these [are] poor; they are
 foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, [nor] the judgment of their
 God.
   Jeremiah|5:5  I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them;
 for they have known the way of the LORD, [and] the judgment of their God:
 but these have altogether broken the yoke, [and] burst the bonds.
   Jeremiah|5:6  Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, [and] a
 wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their
 cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because
 their transgressions are many, [and] their backslidings are increased.
   Jeremiah|5:7  How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have
 forsaken me, and sworn by [them that are] no gods: when I had fed them to
 the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops
 in the harlots' houses.
   Jeremiah|5:8  They were [as] fed horses in the morning: every one neighed

 after his neighbour's wife.
   Jeremiah|5:9  Shall I not visit for these [things]? saith the LORD: and
 shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
   Jeremiah|5:10  Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full
 end: take away her battlements; for they [are] not the LORD'S.
   Jeremiah|5:11  For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt
 very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|5:12  They have belied the LORD, and said, [It is] not he;
 neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
   Jeremiah|5:13  And the prophets shall become wind, and the word [is] not
 in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
   Jeremiah|5:14  Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye
 speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this
 people wood, and it shall devour them.
   Jeremiah|5:15  Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of
 Israel, saith the LORD: it [is] a mighty nation, it [is] an ancient nation,
 a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they
 say.
   Jeremiah|5:16  Their quiver [is] as an open sepulchre, they [are] all
 mighty men.
   Jeremiah|5:17  And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread,

 [which] thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks
 and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall
 impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
   Jeremiah|5:18  Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not
 make a full end with you.
   Jeremiah|5:19  And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore
 doeth the LORD our God all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer
 them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so
 shall ye serve strangers in a land [that is] not yours.
   Jeremiah|5:20  Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in
 Judah, saying,
   Jeremiah|5:21  Hear now this, O foolish people, and without
 understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
   Jeremiah|5:22  Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my
 presence, which have placed the sand [for] the bound of the sea by a
 perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss
 themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not
 pass over it?
   Jeremiah|5:23  But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart;
 they are revolted and gone.
   Jeremiah|5:24  Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD

 our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season:
 he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
   Jeremiah|5:25  Your iniquities have turned away these [things], and your
 sins have withholden good [things] from you.
   Jeremiah|5:26  For among my people are found wicked [men]: they lay wait,
 as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
   Jeremiah|5:27  As a cage is full of birds, so [are] their houses full of
 deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
   Jeremiah|5:28  They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the
 deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless,
 yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
   Jeremiah|5:29  Shall I not visit for these [things]? saith the LORD:
 shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
   Jeremiah|5:30  A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
   Jeremiah|5:31  The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule
 by their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and what will ye do in
 the end thereof?
   Jeremiah|6:1  O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of
 the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of
 fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great
 destruction.

   Jeremiah|6:2  I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and
 delicate [woman].
   Jeremiah|6:3  The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they
 shall pitch [their] tents against her round about; they shall feed every
 one in his place.
   Jeremiah|6:4  Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at
 noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening
 are stretched out.
   Jeremiah|6:5  Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her
 palaces.
   Jeremiah|6:6  For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees,
 and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this [is] the city to be visited; she
 [is] wholly oppression in the midst of her.
   Jeremiah|6:7  As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out
 her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually
 [is] grief and wounds.
   Jeremiah|6:8  Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from
 thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
   Jeremiah|6:9  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall thoroughly glean
 the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer
 into the baskets.

   Jeremiah|6:10  To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may
 hear? behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken:
 behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight
 in it.
   Jeremiah|6:11  Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary
 with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the
 assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be
 taken, the aged with [him that is] full of days.
   Jeremiah|6:12  And their houses shall be turned unto others, [with their]
 fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the
 inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|6:13  For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them
 every one [is] given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the
 priest every one dealeth falsely.
   Jeremiah|6:14  They have healed also the hurt [of the daughter] of my
 people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.
   Jeremiah|6:15  Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
 nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they
 shall fall among them that fall: at the time [that] I visit them they shall
 be cast down, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|6:16  Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and

 ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye
 shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein].
   Jeremiah|6:17  Also I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the
 sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
   Jeremiah|6:18  Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what
 [is] among them.
   Jeremiah|6:19  Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people,
 [even] the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my
 words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
   Jeremiah|6:20  To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and
 the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings [are] not
 acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
   Jeremiah|6:21  Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay
 stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together
 shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
   Jeremiah|6:22  Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the
 north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the
 earth.
   Jeremiah|6:23  They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they [are] cruel,
 and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon
 horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.

   Jeremiah|6:24  We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble:
 anguish hath taken hold of us, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail.
   Jeremiah|6:25  Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the
 sword of the enemy [and] fear [is] on every side.
   Jeremiah|6:26  O daughter of my people, gird [thee] with sackcloth, and
 wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, [as for] an only son, most
 bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
   Jeremiah|6:27  I have set thee [for] a tower [and] a fortress among my
 people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
   Jeremiah|6:28  They [are] all grievous revolters, walking with slanders:
 [they are] brass and iron; they [are] all corrupters.
   Jeremiah|6:29  The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire;
 the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
   Jeremiah|6:30  Reprobate silver shall [men] call them, because the LORD
 hath rejected them.
   Jeremiah|7:1  The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
   Jeremiah|7:2  Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there
 this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all [ye of] Judah, that
 enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
   Jeremiah|7:3  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your
 ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

   Jeremiah|7:4  Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the
 LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, [are] these.
   Jeremiah|7:5  For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye
 thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
   Jeremiah|7:6  [If] ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the
 widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other
 gods to your hurt:
   Jeremiah|7:7  Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land
 that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
   Jeremiah|7:8  Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
   Jeremiah|7:9  Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear
 falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know
 not;
   Jeremiah|7:10  And come and stand before me in this house, which is
 called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
   Jeremiah|7:11  Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of
 robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen [it], saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|7:12  But go ye now unto my place which [was] in Shiloh, where I
 set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my
 people Israel.
   Jeremiah|7:13  And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the

 LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not;
 and I called you, but ye answered not;
   Jeremiah|7:14  Therefore will I do unto [this] house, which is called by
 my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to
 your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
   Jeremiah|7:15  And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out
 all your brethren, [even] the whole seed of Ephraim.
   Jeremiah|7:16  Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up
 cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not
 hear thee.
   Jeremiah|7:17  Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in
 the streets of Jerusalem?
   Jeremiah|7:18  The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire,
 and the women knead [their] dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven,
 and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me
 to anger.
   Jeremiah|7:19  Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: [do they] not
 [provoke] themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
   Jeremiah|7:20  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and
 my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and
 upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall

 burn, and shall not be quenched.
   Jeremiah|7:21  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your
 burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
   Jeremiah|7:22  For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in
 the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt
 offerings or sacrifices:
   Jeremiah|7:23  But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice,
 and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the
 ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
   Jeremiah|7:24  But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked
 in the counsels [and] in the imagination of their evil heart, and went
 backward, and not forward.
   Jeremiah|7:25  Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land
 of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the
 prophets, daily rising up early and sending [them]:
   Jeremiah|7:26  Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear,
 but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
   Jeremiah|7:27  Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but
 they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they
 will not answer thee.
   Jeremiah|7:28  But thou shalt say unto them, This [is] a nation that

 obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction:
 truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
   Jeremiah|7:29  Cut off thine hair, [O Jerusalem], and cast [it] away, and
 take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and
 forsaken the generation of his wrath.
   Jeremiah|7:30  For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight,
 saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is
 called by my name, to pollute it.
   Jeremiah|7:31  And they have built the high places of Tophet, which [is]
 in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters
 in the fire; which I commanded [them] not, neither came it into my heart.
   Jeremiah|7:32  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it
 shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but
 the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no
 place.
   Jeremiah|7:33  And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the
 fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray
 [them] away.
   Jeremiah|7:34  Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and
 from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of
 gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the

 land shall be desolate.
   Jeremiah|8:1  At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the
 bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of
 the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the
 inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
   Jeremiah|8:2  And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon,
 and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have
 served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and
 whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they
 shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
   Jeremiah|8:3  And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the
 residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the
 places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Jeremiah|8:4  Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD;
 Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
   Jeremiah|8:5  Why [then] is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a
 perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
   Jeremiah|8:6  I hearkened and heard, [but] they spake not aright: no man
 repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned
 to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
   Jeremiah|8:7  Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times;

 and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their
 coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|8:8  How do ye say, We [are] wise, and the law of the LORD [is]
 with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he [it]; the pen of the scribes [is] in
 vain.
   Jeremiah|8:9  The wise [men] are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken:
 lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom [is] in them?
   Jeremiah|8:10  Therefore will I give their wives unto others, [and] their
 fields to them that shall inherit [them]: for every one from the least even
 unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the
 priest every one dealeth falsely.
   Jeremiah|8:11  For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people
 slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when [there is] no peace.
   Jeremiah|8:12  Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
 nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore
 shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they
 shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|8:13  I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: [there shall
 be] no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall
 fade; and [the things that] I have given them shall pass away from them.
   Jeremiah|8:14  Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter

 into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God
 hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we
 have sinned against the LORD.
   Jeremiah|8:15  We looked for peace, but no good [came; and] for a time of
 health, and behold trouble!
   Jeremiah|8:16  The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole
 land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are
 come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and
 those that dwell therein.
   Jeremiah|8:17  For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you,
 which [will] not [be] charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|8:18  [When] I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart
 [is] faint in me.
   Jeremiah|8:19  Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people
 because of them that dwell in a far country: [Is] not the LORD in Zion?
 [is] not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their
 graven images, [and] with strange vanities?
   Jeremiah|8:20  The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not
 saved.
   Jeremiah|8:21  For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am
 black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.

   Jeremiah|8:22  [Is there] no balm in Gilead; [is there] no physician
 there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
   Jeremiah|9:1  Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of
 tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my
 people!
   Jeremiah|9:2  Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of
 wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they
 [be] all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
   Jeremiah|9:3  And they bend their tongues [like] their bow [for] lies:
 but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed
 from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|9:4  Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not
 in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every
 neighbour will walk with slanders.
   Jeremiah|9:5  And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not
 speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, [and] weary
 themselves to commit iniquity.
   Jeremiah|9:6  Thine habitation [is] in the midst of deceit; through
 deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|9:7  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt
 them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

   Jeremiah|9:8  Their tongue [is as] an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit:
 [one] speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he
 layeth his wait.
   Jeremiah|9:9  Shall I not visit them for these [things]? saith the LORD:
 shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
   Jeremiah|9:10  For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing,
 and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are
 burned up, so that none can pass through [them]; neither can [men] hear the
 voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled;
 they are gone.
   Jeremiah|9:11  And I will make Jerusalem heaps, [and] a den of dragons;
 and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
   Jeremiah|9:12  Who [is] the wise man, that may understand this? and [who
 is he] to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it,
 for what the land perisheth [and] is burned up like a wilderness, that none
 passeth through?
   Jeremiah|9:13  And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law
 which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked
 therein;
   Jeremiah|9:14  But have walked after the imagination of their own heart,
 and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

   Jeremiah|9:15  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
 Behold, I will feed them, [even] this people, with wormwood, and give them
 water of gall to drink.
   Jeremiah|9:16  I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither
 they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till
 I have consumed them.
   Jeremiah|9:17  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for
 the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning [women], that
 they may come:
   Jeremiah|9:18  And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us,
 that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with
 waters.
   Jeremiah|9:19  For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we
 spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land,
 because our dwellings have cast [us] out.
   Jeremiah|9:20  Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your
 ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and
 every one her neighbour lamentation.
   Jeremiah|9:21  For death is come up into our windows, [and] is entered
 into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, [and] the young men
 from the streets.

   Jeremiah|9:22  Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall
 fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman,
 and none shall gather [them].
   Jeremiah|9:23  Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his
 wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich
 [man] glory in his riches:
   Jeremiah|9:24  But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he
 understandeth and knoweth me, that I [am] the LORD which exercise
 lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these
 [things] I delight, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|9:25  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish
 all [them which are] circumcised with the uncircumcised;
   Jeremiah|9:26  Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and
 Moab, and all [that are] in the utmost corners, that dwell in the
 wilderness: for all [these] nations [are] uncircumcised, and all the house
 of Israel [are] uncircumcised in the heart.
   Jeremiah|10:1  Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house
 of Israel:
   Jeremiah|10:2  Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and
 be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at
 them.

   Jeremiah|10:3  For the customs of the people [are] vain: for [one]
 cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman,
 with the ax.
   Jeremiah|10:4  They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it
 with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
   Jeremiah|10:5  They [are] upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they
 must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for
 they cannot do evil, neither also [is it] in them to do good.
   Jeremiah|10:6  Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD; thou
 [art] great, and thy name [is] great in might.
   Jeremiah|10:7  Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee
 doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise [men] of the nations,
 and in all their kingdoms, [there is] none like unto thee.
   Jeremiah|10:8  But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock
 [is] a doctrine of vanities.
   Jeremiah|10:9  Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and
 gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder:
 blue and purple [is] their clothing: they [are] all the work of cunning
 [men].
   Jeremiah|10:10  But the LORD [is] the true God, he [is] the living God,
 and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the

 nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
   Jeremiah|10:11  Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made
 the heavens and the earth, [even] they shall perish from the earth, and
 from under these heavens.
   Jeremiah|10:12  He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established
 the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his
 discretion.
   Jeremiah|10:13  When he uttereth his voice, [there is] a multitude of
 waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends
 of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind
 out of his treasures.
   Jeremiah|10:14  Every man is brutish in [his] knowledge: every founder is
 confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is] falsehood, and
 [there is] no breath in them.
   Jeremiah|10:15  They [are] vanity, [and] the work of errors: in the time
 of their visitation they shall perish.
   Jeremiah|10:16  The portion of Jacob [is] not like them: for he [is] the
 former of all [things]; and Israel [is] the rod of his inheritance: The
 LORD of hosts [is] his name.
   Jeremiah|10:17  Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the
 fortress.

   Jeremiah|10:18  For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the
 inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may
 find [it so].
   Jeremiah|10:19  Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said,
 Truly this [is] a grief, and I must bear it.
   Jeremiah|10:20  My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my
 children are gone forth of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none to
 stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
   Jeremiah|10:21  For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought
 the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be
 scattered.
   Jeremiah|10:22  Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great
 commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate,
 [and] a den of dragons.
   Jeremiah|10:23  O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself:
 [it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
   Jeremiah|10:24  O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine
 anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
   Jeremiah|10:25  Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not,
 and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up
 Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation

 desolate.
   Jeremiah|11:1  The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
   Jeremiah|11:2  Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men
 of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
   Jeremiah|11:3  And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel;
 Cursed [be] the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
   Jeremiah|11:4  Which I commanded your fathers in the day [that] I brought
 them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my
 voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my
 people, and I will be your God:
   Jeremiah|11:5  That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your
 fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as [it is] this
 day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
   Jeremiah|11:6  Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in
 the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the
 words of this covenant, and do them.
   Jeremiah|11:7  For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day
 [that] I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, [even] unto this day,
 rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
   Jeremiah|11:8  Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked
 every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring

 upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded [them] to do;
 but they did [them] not.
   Jeremiah|11:9  And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the
 men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|11:10  They are turned back to the iniquities of their
 forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods
 to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my
 covenant which I made with their fathers.
   Jeremiah|11:11  Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil
 upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall
 cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
   Jeremiah|11:12  Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of
 Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they
 shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
   Jeremiah|11:13  For [according to] the number of thy cities were thy
 gods, O Judah; and [according to] the number of the streets of Jerusalem
 have ye set up altars to [that] shameful thing, [even] altars to burn
 incense unto Baal.
   Jeremiah|11:14  Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up
 a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear [them] in the time that they
 cry unto me for their trouble.

   Jeremiah|11:15  What hath my beloved to do in mine house, [seeing] she
 hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee?
 when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
   Jeremiah|11:16  The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, [and]
 of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon
 it, and the branches of it are broken.
   Jeremiah|11:17  For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced
 evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of
 Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in
 offering incense unto Baal.
   Jeremiah|11:18  And the LORD hath given me knowledge [of it], and I know
 [it]: then thou showedst me their doings.
   Jeremiah|11:19  But I [was] like a lamb [or] an ox [that] is brought to
 the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me,
 [saying], Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut
 him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more
 remembered.
   Jeremiah|11:20  But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that
 triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto
 thee have I revealed my cause.
   Jeremiah|11:21  Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth,

 that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou
 die not by our hand:
   Jeremiah|11:22  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will
 punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their
 daughters shall die by famine:
   Jeremiah|11:23  And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring
 evil upon the men of Anathoth, [even] the year of their visitation.
   Jeremiah|12:1  Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet
 let me talk with thee of [thy] judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the
 wicked prosper? [wherefore] are all they happy that deal very
 treacherously?
   Jeremiah|12:2  Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they
 grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou [art] near in their mouth, and far
 from their reins.
   Jeremiah|12:3  But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried
 mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and
 prepare them for the day of slaughter.
   Jeremiah|12:4  How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every
 field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are
 consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
   Jeremiah|12:5  If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied

 thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and [if] in the land of
 peace, [wherein] thou trustedst, [they wearied thee], then how wilt thou do
 in the swelling of Jordan?
   Jeremiah|12:6  For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even
 they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude
 after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
   Jeremiah|12:7  I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I
 have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
   Jeremiah|12:8  Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it
 crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
   Jeremiah|12:9  Mine heritage [is] unto me [as] a speckled bird, the birds
 round about [are] against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the
 field, come to devour.
   Jeremiah|12:10  Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have
 trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a
 desolate wilderness.
   Jeremiah|12:11  They have made it desolate, [and being] desolate it
 mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth
 [it] to heart.
   Jeremiah|12:12  The spoilers are come upon all high places through the
 wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the [one] end of

 the land even to the [other] end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
   Jeremiah|12:13  They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have
 put themselves to pain, [but] shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed
 of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|12:14  Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours,
 that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit;
 Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of
 Judah from among them.
   Jeremiah|12:15  And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them
 out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again,
 every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
   Jeremiah|12:16  And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn
 the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught
 my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my
 people.
   Jeremiah|12:17  But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and
 destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|13:1  Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen
 girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
   Jeremiah|13:2  So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and
 put [it] on my loins.

   Jeremiah|13:3  And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time,
 saying,
   Jeremiah|13:4  Take the girdle that thou hast got, which [is] upon thy
 loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
   Jeremiah|13:5  So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded
 me.
   Jeremiah|13:6  And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said
 unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I
 commanded thee to hide there.
   Jeremiah|13:7  Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle
 from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it
 was profitable for nothing.
   Jeremiah|13:8  Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Jeremiah|13:9  Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the
 pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|13:10  This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which
 walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve
 them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for
 nothing.
   Jeremiah|13:11  For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have
 I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of

 Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a
 name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
   Jeremiah|13:12  Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus
 saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and
 they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall
 be filled with wine?
   Jeremiah|13:13  Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD,
 Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that
 sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the
 inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
   Jeremiah|13:14  And I will dash them one against another, even the
 fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare,
 nor have mercy, but destroy them.
   Jeremiah|13:15  Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath
 spoken.
   Jeremiah|13:16  Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause
 darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while
 ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, [and] make [it]
 gross darkness.
   Jeremiah|13:17  But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret
 places for [your] pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with

 tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.
   Jeremiah|13:18  Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves,
 sit down: for your principalities shall come down, [even] the crown of your
 glory.
   Jeremiah|13:19  The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall
 open [them]: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be
 wholly carried away captive.
   Jeremiah|13:20  Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the
 north: where [is] the flock [that] was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
   Jeremiah|13:21  What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou
 hast taught them [to be] captains, [and] as chief over thee: shall not
 sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
   Jeremiah|13:22  And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these
 things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts
 discovered, [and] thy heels made bare.
   Jeremiah|13:23  Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his
 spots? [then] may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
   Jeremiah|13:24  Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth
 away by the wind of the wilderness.
   Jeremiah|13:25  This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me,
 saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.

   Jeremiah|13:26  Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that
 thy shame may appear.
   Jeremiah|13:27  I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the
 lewdness of thy whoredom, [and] thine abominations on the hills in the
 fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when
 [shall it] once [be]?
   Jeremiah|14:1  The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the
 dearth.
   Jeremiah|14:2  Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are
 black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
   Jeremiah|14:3  And their nobles have sent their little ones to the
 waters: they came to the pits, [and] found no water; they returned with
 their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their
 heads.
   Jeremiah|14:4  Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the
 earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
   Jeremiah|14:5  Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook [it],
 because there was no grass.
   Jeremiah|14:6  And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they
 snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because [there was]
 no grass.

   Jeremiah|14:7  O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou
 [it] for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned
 against thee.
   Jeremiah|14:8  O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of
 trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a
 wayfaring man [that] turneth aside to tarry for a night?
   Jeremiah|14:9  Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man
 [that] cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, [art] in the midst of us, and we are
 called by thy name; leave us not.
   Jeremiah|14:10  Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they
 loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD
 doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their
 sins.
   Jeremiah|14:11  Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for
 [their] good.
   Jeremiah|14:12  When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they
 offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will
 consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
   Jeremiah|14:13  Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto
 them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will
 give you assured peace in this place.

   Jeremiah|14:14  Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in
 my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto
 them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of
 nought, and the deceit of their heart.
   Jeremiah|14:15  Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets
 that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and
 famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets
 be consumed.
   Jeremiah|14:16  And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in
 the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they
 shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their
 daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
   Jeremiah|14:17  Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine
 eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the
 virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very
 grievous blow.
   Jeremiah|14:18  If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with
 the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick
 with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that
 they know not.
   Jeremiah|14:19  Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed

 Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and [there is] no healing for us? we looked
 for peace, and [there is] no good; and for the time of healing, and behold
 trouble!
   Jeremiah|14:20  We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, [and] the
 iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
   Jeremiah|14:21  Do not abhor [us], for thy name's sake, do not disgrace
 the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
   Jeremiah|14:22  Are there [any] among the vanities of the Gentiles that
 can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? [art] not thou he, O LORD
 our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these
 [things].
   Jeremiah|15:1  Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood
 before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] toward this people: cast [them]
 out of my sight, and let them go forth.
   Jeremiah|15:2  And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither
 shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as
 [are] for death, to death; and such as [are] for the sword, to the sword;
 and such as [are] for the famine, to the famine; and such as [are] for the
 captivity, to the captivity.
   Jeremiah|15:3  And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD:
 the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and

 the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
   Jeremiah|15:4  And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of
 the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for
 [that] which he did in Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|15:5  For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who
 shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
   Jeremiah|15:6  Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone
 backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy
 thee; I am weary with repenting.
   Jeremiah|15:7  And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I
 will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people, [since] they
 return not from their ways.
   Jeremiah|15:8  Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the
 seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a
 spoiler at noonday: I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and
 terrors upon the city.
   Jeremiah|15:9  She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up
 the ghost; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day: she hath been
 ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword
 before their enemies, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|15:10  Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of

 strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on
 usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse
 me.
   Jeremiah|15:11  The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant;
 verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee [well] in the time of evil
 and in the time of affliction.
   Jeremiah|15:12  Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
   Jeremiah|15:13  Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil
 without price, and [that] for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
   Jeremiah|15:14  And I will make [thee] to pass with thine enemies into a
 land [which] thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, [which]
 shall burn upon you.
   Jeremiah|15:15  O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and
 revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know
 that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
   Jeremiah|15:16  Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word
 was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy
 name, O LORD God of hosts.
   Jeremiah|15:17  I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I
 sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
   Jeremiah|15:18  Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which]

 refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, [and as]
 waters [that] fail?
   Jeremiah|15:19  Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will
 I bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take
 forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them
 return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
   Jeremiah|15:20  And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brazen
 wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against
 thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the
 LORD.
   Jeremiah|15:21  And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked,
 and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
   Jeremiah|16:1  The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,
   Jeremiah|16:2  Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have
 sons or daughters in this place.
   Jeremiah|16:3  For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning
 the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers
 that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
   Jeremiah|16:4  They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be
 lamented; neither shall they be buried; [but] they shall be as dung upon
 the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by

 famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for
 the beasts of the earth.
   Jeremiah|16:5  For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of
 mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my
 peace from this people, saith the LORD, [even] lovingkindness and mercies.
   Jeremiah|16:6  Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they
 shall not be buried, neither shall [men] lament for them, nor cut
 themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:
   Jeremiah|16:7  Neither shall [men] tear [themselves] for them in
 mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall [men] give them the
 cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
   Jeremiah|16:8  Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit
 with them to eat and to drink.
   Jeremiah|16:9  For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
 Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your
 days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the
 bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
   Jeremiah|16:10  And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt show this
 people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the
 LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what [is] our iniquity?
 or what [is] our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

   Jeremiah|16:11  Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have
 forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have
 served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not
 kept my law;
   Jeremiah|16:12  And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye
 walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not
 hearken unto me:
   Jeremiah|16:13  Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land
 that ye know not, [neither] ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve
 other gods day and night; where I will not show you favour.
   Jeremiah|16:14  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it
 shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of
 Israel out of the land of Egypt;
   Jeremiah|16:15  But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of
 Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had
 driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto
 their fathers.
   Jeremiah|16:16  Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and
 they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they
 shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the
 holes of the rocks.

   Jeremiah|16:17  For mine eyes [are] upon all their ways: they are not hid
 from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
   Jeremiah|16:18  And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin
 double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine
 inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
   Jeremiah|16:19  O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in
 the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of
 the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity,
 and [things] wherein [there is] no profit.
   Jeremiah|16:20  Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they [are] no
 gods?
   Jeremiah|16:21  Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I
 will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my
 name [is] The LORD.
   Jeremiah|17:1  The sin of Judah [is] written with a pen of iron, [and]
 with the point of a diamond: [it is] graven upon the table of their heart,
 and upon the horns of your altars;
   Jeremiah|17:2  Whilst their children remember their altars and their
 groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
   Jeremiah|17:3  O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance
 [and] all thy treasures to the spoil, [and] thy high places for sin,

 throughout all thy borders.
   Jeremiah|17:4  And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine
 heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in
 the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger,
 [which] shall burn for ever.
   Jeremiah|17:5  Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in
 man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
   Jeremiah|17:6  For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall
 not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the
 wilderness, [in] a salt land and not inhabited.
   Jeremiah|17:7  Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose
 hope the LORD is.
   Jeremiah|17:8  For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and
 [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat
 cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year
 of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
   Jeremiah|17:9  The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and
 desperately wicked: who can know it?
   Jeremiah|17:10  I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to
 give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his
 doings.

   Jeremiah|17:11  [As] the partridge sitteth [on eggs], and hatcheth [them]
 not; [so] he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the
 midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
   Jeremiah|17:12  A glorious high throne from the beginning [is] the place
 of our sanctuary.
   Jeremiah|17:13  O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall
 be ashamed, [and] they that depart from me shall be written in the earth,
 because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
   Jeremiah|17:14  Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I
 shall be saved: for thou [art] my praise.
   Jeremiah|17:15  Behold, they say unto me, Where [is] the word of the
 LORD? let it come now.
   Jeremiah|17:16  As for me, I have not hastened from [being] a pastor to
 follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that
 which came out of my lips was [right] before thee.
   Jeremiah|17:17  Be not a terror unto me: thou [art] my hope in the day of
 evil.
   Jeremiah|17:18  Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me
 be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon
 them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
   Jeremiah|17:19  Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of

 the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the
 which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
   Jeremiah|17:20  And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings
 of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter
 in by these gates:
   Jeremiah|17:21  Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no
 burden on the sabbath day, nor bring [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem;
   Jeremiah|17:22  Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the
 sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I
 commanded your fathers.
   Jeremiah|17:23  But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made
 their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
   Jeremiah|17:24  And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto
 me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on
 the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
   Jeremiah|17:25  Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings
 and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on
 horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
   Jeremiah|17:26  And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from
 the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the

 plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt
 offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing
 sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|17:27  But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath
 day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem
 on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it
 shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
   Jeremiah|18:1  The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
   Jeremiah|18:2  Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will
 cause thee to hear my words.
   Jeremiah|18:3  Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he
 wrought a work on the wheels.
   Jeremiah|18:4  And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand
 of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the
 potter to make [it].
   Jeremiah|18:5  Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
   Jeremiah|18:6  O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter?
 saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay [is] in the potter's hand, so [are] ye
 in mine hand, O house of Israel.
   Jeremiah|18:7  [At what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and
 concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy [it];

   Jeremiah|18:8  If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from
 their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
   Jeremiah|18:9  And [at what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation,
 and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant [it];
   Jeremiah|18:10  If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice,
 then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
   Jeremiah|18:11  Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame
 evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one
 from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
   Jeremiah|18:12  And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after
 our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil
 heart.
   Jeremiah|18:13  Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the
 heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very
 horrible thing.
   Jeremiah|18:14  Will [a man] leave the snow of Lebanon [which cometh]
 from the rock of the field? [or] shall the cold flowing waters that come
 from another place be forsaken?
   Jeremiah|18:15  Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned
 incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways

 [from] the ancient paths, to walk in paths, [in] a way not cast up;
   Jeremiah|18:16  To make their land desolate, [and] a perpetual hissing;
 every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
   Jeremiah|18:17  I will scatter them as with an east wind before the
 enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their
 calamity.
   Jeremiah|18:18  Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against
 Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from
 the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with
 the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
   Jeremiah|18:19  Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them
 that contend with me.
   Jeremiah|18:20  Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged
 a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for
 them, [and] to turn away thy wrath from them.
   Jeremiah|18:21  Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and
 pour out their [blood] by the force of the sword; and let their wives be
 bereaved of their children, and [be] widows; and let their men be put to
 death; [let] their young men [be] slain by the sword in battle.
   Jeremiah|18:22  Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt
 bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me,

 and hid snares for my feet.
   Jeremiah|18:23  Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to
 slay [me]: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy
 sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal [thus] with them in the
 time of thine anger.
   Jeremiah|19:1  Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle,
 and [take] of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the
 priests;
   Jeremiah|19:2  And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which
 [is] by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I
 shall tell thee,
   Jeremiah|19:3  And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah,
 and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
 Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever
 heareth, his ears shall tingle.
   Jeremiah|19:4  Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this
 place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor
 their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this
 place with the blood of innocents;
   Jeremiah|19:5  They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn
 their sons with fire [for] burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded

 not, nor spake [it], neither came [it] into my mind:
   Jeremiah|19:6  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that
 this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of
 Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
   Jeremiah|19:7  And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in
 this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their
 enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases
 will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of
 the earth.
   Jeremiah|19:8  And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every
 one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the
 plagues thereof.
   Jeremiah|19:9  And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and
 the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his
 friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that
 seek their lives, shall straiten them.
   Jeremiah|19:10  Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men
 that go with thee.
   Jeremiah|19:11  And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts;
 Even so will I break this people and this city, as [one] breaketh a
 potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury

 [them] in Tophet, till [there be] no place to bury.
   Jeremiah|19:12  Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to
 the inhabitants thereof, and [even] make this city as Tophet:
   Jeremiah|19:13  And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings
 of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the
 houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of
 heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
   Jeremiah|19:14  Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent
 him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD'S house; and said to
 all the people,
   Jeremiah|19:15  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold,
 I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have
 pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they
 might not hear my words.
   Jeremiah|20:1  Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who [was] also
 chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied
 these things.
   Jeremiah|20:2  Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the
 stocks that [were] in the high gate of Benjamin, which [was] by the house
 of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|20:3  And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought

 forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD
 hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
   Jeremiah|20:4  For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror
 to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of
 their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold [it]: and I will give all Judah
 into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into
 Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
   Jeremiah|20:5  Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and
 all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the
 treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies,
 which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
   Jeremiah|20:6  And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall
 go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt
 die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou
 hast prophesied lies.
   Jeremiah|20:7  O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou
 art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one
 mocketh me.
   Jeremiah|20:8  For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and
 spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a
 derision, daily.

   Jeremiah|20:9  Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any
 more in his name. But [his word] was in mine heart as a burning fire shut
 up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not [stay].
   Jeremiah|20:10  For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side.
 Report, [say they], and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my
 halting, [saying], Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail
 against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
   Jeremiah|20:11  But the LORD [is] with me as a mighty terrible one:
 therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they
 shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: [their] everlasting
 confusion shall never be forgotten.
   Jeremiah|20:12  But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, [and]
 seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto
 thee have I opened my cause.
   Jeremiah|20:13  Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath
 delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
   Jeremiah|20:14  Cursed [be] the day wherein I was born: let not the day
 wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
   Jeremiah|20:15  Cursed [be] the man who brought tidings to my father,
 saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
   Jeremiah|20:16  And let that man be as the cities which the LORD

 overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and
 the shouting at noontide;
   Jeremiah|20:17  Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother
 might have been my grave, and her womb [to be] always great [with me].
   Jeremiah|20:18  Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and
 sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
   Jeremiah|21:1  The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king
 Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of
 Maaseiah the priest, saying,
   Jeremiah|21:2  Inquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the
 LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go
 up from us.
   Jeremiah|21:3  Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to
 Zedekiah:
   Jeremiah|21:4  Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn
 back the weapons of war that [are] in your hands, wherewith ye fight
 against the king of Babylon, and [against] the Chaldeans, which besiege you
 without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.
   Jeremiah|21:5  And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched
 hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.

   Jeremiah|21:6  And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man
 and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
   Jeremiah|21:7  And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah
 king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in
 this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into
 the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their
 enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall
 smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither
 have pity, nor have mercy.
   Jeremiah|21:8  And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD;
 Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
   Jeremiah|21:9  He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and
 by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to
 the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto
 him for a prey.
   Jeremiah|21:10  For I have set my face against this city for evil, and
 not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king
 of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
   Jeremiah|21:11  And touching the house of the king of Judah, [say], Hear
 ye the word of the LORD;
   Jeremiah|21:12  O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment

 in the morning, and deliver [him that is] spoiled out of the hand of the
 oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench
 [it], because of the evil of your doings.
   Jeremiah|21:13  Behold, I [am] against thee, O inhabitant of the valley,
 [and] rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down
 against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
   Jeremiah|21:14  But I will punish you according to the fruit of your
 doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and
 it shall devour all things round about it.
   Jeremiah|22:1  Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of
 Judah, and speak there this word,
   Jeremiah|22:2  And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that
 sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people
 that enter in by these gates:
   Jeremiah|22:3  Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and
 righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor:
 and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the
 widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
   Jeremiah|22:4  For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in
 by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding
 in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.

   Jeremiah|22:5  But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself,
 saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
   Jeremiah|22:6  For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah;
 Thou [art] Gilead unto me, [and] the head of Lebanon: [yet] surely I will
 make thee a wilderness, [and] cities [which] are not inhabited.
   Jeremiah|22:7  And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with
 his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast [them]
 into the fire.
   Jeremiah|22:8  And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall
 say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this
 great city?
   Jeremiah|22:9  Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the
 covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
   Jeremiah|22:10  Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: [but] weep
 sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his
 native country.
   Jeremiah|22:11  For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of
 Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which
 went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
   Jeremiah|22:12  But he shall die in the place whither they have led him
 captive, and shall see this land no more.

   Jeremiah|22:13  Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness,
 and his chambers by wrong; [that] useth his neighbour's service without
 wages, and giveth him not for his work;
   Jeremiah|22:14  That saith, I will build me a wide house and large
 chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and [it is] ceiled with cedar, and
 painted with vermilion.
   Jeremiah|22:15  Shalt thou reign, because thou closest [thyself] in
 cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, [and]
 then [it was] well with him?
   Jeremiah|22:16  He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was]
 well [with him: was] not this to know me? saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|22:17  But thine eyes and thine heart [are] not but for thy
 covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for
 violence, to do [it].
   Jeremiah|22:18  Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the
 son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah my
 brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, [saying], Ah lord!
 or, Ah his glory!
   Jeremiah|22:19  He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and
 cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|22:20  Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in

 Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
   Jeremiah|22:21  I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; [but] thou saidst, I
 will not hear. This [hath been] thy manner from thy youth, that thou
 obeyedst not my voice.
   Jeremiah|22:22  The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers
 shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded
 for all thy wickedness.
   Jeremiah|22:23  O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the
 cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as
 of a woman in travail!
   Jeremiah|22:24  [As] I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of
 Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I
 pluck thee thence;
   Jeremiah|22:25  And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy
 life, and into the hand [of them] whose face thou fearest, even into the
 hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
   Jeremiah|22:26  And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee,
 into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
   Jeremiah|22:27  But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither
 shall they not return.
   Jeremiah|22:28  [Is] this man Coniah a despised broken idol? [is he] a

 vessel wherein [is] no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his
 seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
   Jeremiah|22:29  O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|22:30  Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man
 [that] shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper,
 sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
   Jeremiah|23:1  Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep
 of my pasture! saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:2  Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the
 pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them
 away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of
 your doings, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:3  And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all
 countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their
 folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
   Jeremiah|23:4  And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed
 them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be
 lacking, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:5  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise
 unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and
 shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

   Jeremiah|23:6  In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell
 safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR
 RIGHTEOUSNESS.
   Jeremiah|23:7  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that
 they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of
 Israel out of the land of Egypt;
   Jeremiah|23:8  But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the
 seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all
 countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own
 land.
   Jeremiah|23:9  Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets;
 all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath
 overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
   Jeremiah|23:10  For the land is full of adulterers; for because of
 swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried
 up, and their course is evil, and their force [is] not right.
   Jeremiah|23:11  For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house
 have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:12  Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery [ways]
 in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will
 bring evil upon them, [even] the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

   Jeremiah|23:13  And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they
 prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
   Jeremiah|23:14  I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible
 thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the
 hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all
 of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
   Jeremiah|23:15  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the
 prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the
 water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth
 into all the land.
   Jeremiah|23:16  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words
 of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a
 vision of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:17  They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath
 said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after
 the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
   Jeremiah|23:18  For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath
 perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard [it]?
   Jeremiah|23:19  Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury,
 even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the
 wicked.

   Jeremiah|23:20  The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have
 executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the
 latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
   Jeremiah|23:21  I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not
 spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
   Jeremiah|23:22  But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my
 people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil
 way, and from the evil of their doings.
   Jeremiah|23:23  [Am] I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar
 off?
   Jeremiah|23:24  Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not
 see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:25  I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies
 in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
   Jeremiah|23:26  How long shall [this] be in the heart of the prophets
 that prophesy lies? yea, [they are] prophets of the deceit of their own
 heart;
   Jeremiah|23:27  Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their
 dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have
 forgotten my name for Baal.
   Jeremiah|23:28  The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and

 he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What [is] the chaff
 to the wheat? saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:29  [Is] not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like
 a hammer [that] breaketh the rock in pieces?
   Jeremiah|23:30  Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the
 LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
   Jeremiah|23:31  Behold, I [am] against the prophets, saith the LORD, that
 use their tongues, and say, He saith.
   Jeremiah|23:32  Behold, I [am] against them that prophesy false dreams,
 saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies,
 and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore
 they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:33  And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall
 ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say
 unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|23:34  And [as for] the prophet, and the priest, and the people,
 that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his
 house.
   Jeremiah|23:35  Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every
 one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD
 spoken?

   Jeremiah|23:36  And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for
 every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of
 the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
   Jeremiah|23:37  Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD
 answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
   Jeremiah|23:38  But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus
 saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I
 have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
   Jeremiah|23:39  Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you,
 and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, [and
 cast you] out of my presence:
   Jeremiah|23:40  And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a
 perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
   Jeremiah|24:1  The LORD showed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs
 [were] set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of
 Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of
 Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from
 Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
   Jeremiah|24:2  One basket [had] very good figs, [even] like the figs
 [that are] first ripe: and the other basket [had] very naughty figs, which
 could not be eaten, they were so bad.

   Jeremiah|24:3  Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And
 I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that
 cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
   Jeremiah|24:4  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Jeremiah|24:5  Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good
 figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah,
 whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for
 [their] good.
   Jeremiah|24:6  For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will
 bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull [them]
 down; and I will plant them, and not pluck [them] up.
   Jeremiah|24:7  And I will give them an heart to know me, that I [am] the
 LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall
 return unto me with their whole heart.
   Jeremiah|24:8  And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so
 evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of
 Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this
 land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
   Jeremiah|24:9  And I will deliver them to be removed into all the
 kingdoms of the earth for [their] hurt, [to be] a reproach and a proverb, a
 taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

   Jeremiah|24:10  And I will send the sword, the famine, and the
 pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave
 unto them and to their fathers.
   Jeremiah|25:1  The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people
 of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
 that [was] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
   Jeremiah|25:2  The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people
 of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
   Jeremiah|25:3  From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of
 Judah, even unto this day, that [is] the three and twentieth year, the word
 of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and
 speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
   Jeremiah|25:4  And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the
 prophets, rising early and sending [them]; but ye have not hearkened, nor
 inclined your ear to hear.
   Jeremiah|25:5  They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way,
 and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath
 given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
   Jeremiah|25:6  And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship
 them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will
 do you no hurt.

   Jeremiah|25:7  Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye
 might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
   Jeremiah|25:8  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have
 not heard my words,
   Jeremiah|25:9  Behold, I will send and take all the families of the
 north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant,
 and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof,
 and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them,
 and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
   Jeremiah|25:10  Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and
 the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the
 bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
   Jeremiah|25:11  And this whole land shall be a desolation, [and] an
 astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy
 years.
   Jeremiah|25:12  And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are
 accomplished, [that] I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation,
 saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will
 make it perpetual desolations.
   Jeremiah|25:13  And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have
 pronounced against it, [even] all that is written in this book, which

 Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
   Jeremiah|25:14  For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves
 of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and
 according to the works of their own hands.
   Jeremiah|25:15  For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the
 wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send
 thee, to drink it.
   Jeremiah|25:16  And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because
 of the sword that I will send among them.
   Jeremiah|25:17  Then took I the cup at the LORD'S hand, and made all the
 nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:
   Jeremiah|25:18  [To wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the
 kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an
 astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as [it is] this day;
   Jeremiah|25:19  Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes,
 and all his people;
   Jeremiah|25:20  And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land
 of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and
 Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
   Jeremiah|25:21  Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
   Jeremiah|25:22  And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon,

 and the kings of the isles which [are] beyond the sea,
   Jeremiah|25:23  Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all [that are] in the
 utmost corners,
   Jeremiah|25:24  And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the
 mingled people that dwell in the desert,
   Jeremiah|25:25  And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam,
 and all the kings of the Medes,
   Jeremiah|25:26  And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with
 another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which [are] upon the face of
 the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
   Jeremiah|25:27  Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD
 of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall,
 and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
   Jeremiah|25:28  And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine
 hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts;
 Ye shall certainly drink.
   Jeremiah|25:29  For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is
 called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be
 unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the
 earth, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Jeremiah|25:30  Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and

 say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from
 his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall
 give a shout, as they that tread [the grapes], against all the inhabitants
 of the earth.
   Jeremiah|25:31  A noise shall come [even] to the ends of the earth; for
 the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh;
 he will give them [that are] wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|25:32  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth
 from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the
 coasts of the earth.
   Jeremiah|25:33  And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from [one]
 end of the earth even unto the [other] end of the earth: they shall not be
 lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
   Jeremiah|25:34  Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves [in
 the ashes], ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and
 of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant
 vessel.
   Jeremiah|25:35  And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the
 principal of the flock to escape.
   Jeremiah|25:36  A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of
 the principal of the flock, [shall be heard]: for the LORD hath spoiled

 their pasture.
   Jeremiah|25:37  And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the
 fierce anger of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|25:38  He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land
 is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his
 fierce anger.
   Jeremiah|26:1  In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of
 Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,
   Jeremiah|26:2  Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S
 house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the
 LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them;
 diminish not a word:
   Jeremiah|26:3  If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his
 evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them
 because of the evil of their doings.
   Jeremiah|26:4  And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye
 will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
   Jeremiah|26:5  To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom
 I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending [them], but ye have not
 hearkened;
   Jeremiah|26:6  Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make

 this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
   Jeremiah|26:7  So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard
 Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|26:8  Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of
 speaking all that the LORD had commanded [him] to speak unto all the
 people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him,
 saying, Thou shalt surely die.
   Jeremiah|26:9  Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying,
 This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an
 inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house
 of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|26:10  When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they
 came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in
 the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S [house].
   Jeremiah|26:11  Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes
 and to all the people, saying, This man [is] worthy to die; for he hath
 prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
   Jeremiah|26:12  Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the
 people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against
 this city all the words that ye have heard.
   Jeremiah|26:13  Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey

 the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil
 that he hath pronounced against you.
   Jeremiah|26:14  As for me, behold, I [am] in your hand: do with me as
 seemeth good and meet unto you.
   Jeremiah|26:15  But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye
 shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and
 upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you
 to speak all these words in your ears.
   Jeremiah|26:16  Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests
 and to the prophets; This man [is] not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to
 us in the name of the LORD our God.
   Jeremiah|26:17  Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake
 to all the assembly of the people, saying,
   Jeremiah|26:18  Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah
 king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the
 LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem shall
 become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
   Jeremiah|26:19  Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all
 to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD
 repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might
 we procure great evil against our souls.

   Jeremiah|26:20  And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of
 the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied
 against this city and against this land according to all the words of
 Jeremiah:
   Jeremiah|26:21  And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and
 all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but
 when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
   Jeremiah|26:22  And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, [namely],
 Elnathan the son of Achbor, and [certain] men with him into Egypt.
   Jeremiah|26:23  And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought
 him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead
 body into the graves of the common people.
   Jeremiah|26:24  Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was
 with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to
 put him to death.
   Jeremiah|27:1  In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of
 Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
   Jeremiah|27:2  Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and
 put them upon thy neck,
   Jeremiah|27:3  And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of
 Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to

 the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem
 unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
   Jeremiah|27:4  And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the
 LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
   Jeremiah|27:5  I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are]
 upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have
 given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
   Jeremiah|27:6  And now have I given all these lands into the hand of
 Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field
 have I given him also to serve him.
   Jeremiah|27:7  And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his
 son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and
 great kings shall serve themselves of him.
   Jeremiah|27:8  And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom
 which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that
 will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation
 will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and
 with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
   Jeremiah|27:9  Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your
 diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your
 sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of

 Babylon:
   Jeremiah|27:10  For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from
 your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
   Jeremiah|27:11  But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of
 the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their
 own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
   Jeremiah|27:12  I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all
 these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of
 Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
   Jeremiah|27:13  Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by
 the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the
 nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
   Jeremiah|27:14  Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that
 speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they
 prophesy a lie unto you.
   Jeremiah|27:15  For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they
 prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might
 perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
   Jeremiah|27:16  Also I spake to the priests and to all this people,
 saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that
 prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall

 now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto
 you.
   Jeremiah|27:17  Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and
 live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
   Jeremiah|27:18  But if they [be] prophets, and if the word of the LORD be
 with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the
 vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the
 king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
   Jeremiah|27:19  For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars,
 and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the
 residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
   Jeremiah|27:20  Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he
 carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from
 Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
   Jeremiah|27:21  Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
 concerning the vessels that remain [in] the house of the LORD, and [in] the
 house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
   Jeremiah|27:22  They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be
 until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up,
 and restore them to this place.
   Jeremiah|28:1  And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the

 reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, [and] in the fifth
 month, [that] Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which [was] of Gibeon,
 spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and
 of all the people, saying,
   Jeremiah|28:2  Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
 saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
   Jeremiah|28:3  Within two full years will I bring again into this place
 all the vessels of the LORD'S house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
 took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:
   Jeremiah|28:4  And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of
 Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into
 Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
   Jeremiah|28:5  Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah
 in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that
 stood in the house of the LORD,
   Jeremiah|28:6  Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the
 LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the
 vessels of the LORD'S house, and all that is carried away captive, from
 Babylon into this place.
   Jeremiah|28:7  Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine
 ears, and in the ears of all the people;

   Jeremiah|28:8  The prophets that have been before me and before thee of
 old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of
 war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
   Jeremiah|28:9  The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of
 the prophet shall come to pass, [then] shall the prophet be known, that the
 LORD hath truly sent him.
   Jeremiah|28:10  Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the
 prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
   Jeremiah|28:11  And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people,
 saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of
 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the
 space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
   Jeremiah|28:12  Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah [the
 prophet], after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the
 neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
   Jeremiah|28:13  Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou
 hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
   Jeremiah|28:14  For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I
 have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may
 serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have
 given him the beasts of the field also.

   Jeremiah|28:15  Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet,
 Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this
 people to trust in a lie.
   Jeremiah|28:16  Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee
 from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast
 taught rebellion against the LORD.
   Jeremiah|28:17  So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh
 month.
   Jeremiah|29:1  Now these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the
 prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were
 carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all
 the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to
 Babylon;
   Jeremiah|29:2  (After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the
 eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the
 smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
   Jeremiah|29:3  By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the
 son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to
 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
   Jeremiah|29:4  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all
 that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from

 Jerusalem unto Babylon;
   Jeremiah|29:5  Build ye houses, and dwell [in them]; and plant gardens,
 and eat the fruit of them;
   Jeremiah|29:6  Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take
 wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may
 bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not
 diminished.
   Jeremiah|29:7  And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you
 to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the
 peace thereof shall ye have peace.
   Jeremiah|29:8  For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let
 not your prophets and your diviners, that [be] in the midst of you, deceive
 you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
   Jeremiah|29:9  For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not
 sent them, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|29:10  For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be
 accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward
 you, in causing you to return to this place.
   Jeremiah|29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith
 the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
   Jeremiah|29:12  Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto

 me, and I will hearken unto you.
   Jeremiah|29:13  And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search
 for me with all your heart.
   Jeremiah|29:14  And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will
 turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and
 from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will
 bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away
 captive.
   Jeremiah|29:15  Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets
 in Babylon;
   Jeremiah|29:16  [Know] that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth
 upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city,
 [and] of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
   Jeremiah|29:17  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon
 them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like
 vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
   Jeremiah|29:18  And I will persecute them with the sword, with the
 famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all
 the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an
 hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
   Jeremiah|29:19  Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the

 LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early
 and sending [them]; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|29:20  Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the
 captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
   Jeremiah|29:21  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab
 the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a
 lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
   Jeremiah|29:22  And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the
 captivity of Judah which [are] in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like
 Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
   Jeremiah|29:23  Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have
 committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying
 words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and [am] a
 witness, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|29:24  [Thus] shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite,
 saying,
   Jeremiah|29:25  Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
 saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that
 [are] at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to
 all the priests, saying,

   Jeremiah|29:26  The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada
 the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every
 man [that is] mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put
 him in prison, and in the stocks.
   Jeremiah|29:27  Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of
 Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?
   Jeremiah|29:28  For therefore he sent unto us [in] Babylon, saying, This
 [captivity is] long: build ye houses, and dwell [in them]; and plant
 gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
   Jeremiah|29:29  And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of
 Jeremiah the prophet.
   Jeremiah|29:30  Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
   Jeremiah|29:31  Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the
 LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath
 prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a
 lie:
   Jeremiah|29:32  Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish
 Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell
 among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my
 people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
   Jeremiah|30:1  The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

   Jeremiah|30:2  Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee
 all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
   Jeremiah|30:3  For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring
 again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I
 will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and
 they shall possess it.
   Jeremiah|30:4  And these [are] the words that the LORD spake concerning
 Israel and concerning Judah.
   Jeremiah|30:5  For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of
 trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
   Jeremiah|30:6  Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child?
 wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in
 travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
   Jeremiah|30:7  Alas! for that day [is] great, so that none [is] like it:
 it [is] even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
   Jeremiah|30:8  For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of
 hosts, [that] I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy
 bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
   Jeremiah|30:9  But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their
 king, whom I will raise up unto them.
   Jeremiah|30:10  Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the

 LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar,
 and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and
 shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make [him] afraid.
   Jeremiah|30:11  For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee:
 though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet
 will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and
 will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
   Jeremiah|30:12  For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise [is] incurable, [and]
 thy wound [is] grievous.
   Jeremiah|30:13  [There is] none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be
 bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
   Jeremiah|30:14  All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not;
 for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement
 of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; [because] thy sins
 were increased.
   Jeremiah|30:15  Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow [is]
 incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: [because] thy sins were
 increased, I have done these things unto thee.
   Jeremiah|30:16  Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured;
 and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and
 they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I

 give for a prey.
   Jeremiah|30:17  For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee
 of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast,
 [saying], This [is] Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
   Jeremiah|30:18  Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the
 captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the
 city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after
 the manner thereof.
   Jeremiah|30:19  And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice
 of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be
 few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
   Jeremiah|30:20  Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their
 congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that
 oppress them.
   Jeremiah|30:21  And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their
 governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw
 near, and he shall approach unto me: for who [is] this that engaged his
 heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|30:22  And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
   Jeremiah|30:23  Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury,
 a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the

 wicked.
   Jeremiah|30:24  The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he
 have done [it], and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in
 the latter days ye shall consider it.
   Jeremiah|31:1  At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all
 the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
   Jeremiah|31:2  Thus saith the LORD, The people [which were] left of the
 sword found grace in the wilderness; [even] Israel, when I went to cause
 him to rest.
   Jeremiah|31:3  The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, [saying], Yea, I
 have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness
 have I drawn thee.
   Jeremiah|31:4  Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin
 of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth
 in the dances of them that make merry.
   Jeremiah|31:5  Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria:
 the planters shall plant, and shall eat [them] as common things.
   Jeremiah|31:6  For there shall be a day, [that] the watchmen upon the
 mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD
 our God.
   Jeremiah|31:7  For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and

 shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O
 LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
   Jeremiah|31:8  Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and
 gather them from the coasts of the earth, [and] with them the blind and the
 lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a
 great company shall return thither.
   Jeremiah|31:9  They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will
 I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a
 straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel,
 and Ephraim [is] my firstborn.
   Jeremiah|31:10  Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it]
 in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him,
 and keep him, as a shepherd [doth] his flock.
   Jeremiah|31:11  For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from
 the hand of [him that was] stronger than he.
   Jeremiah|31:12  Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion,
 and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for
 wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and
 their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more
 at all.
   Jeremiah|31:13  Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young

 men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will
 comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
   Jeremiah|31:14  And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness,
 and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|31:15  Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah,
 lamentation, [and] bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused
 to be comforted for her children, because they [were] not.
   Jeremiah|31:16  Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and
 thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and
 they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
   Jeremiah|31:17  And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy
 children shall come again to their own border.
   Jeremiah|31:18  I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself [thus];
 Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed [to
 the yoke]: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou [art] the LORD my
 God.
   Jeremiah|31:19  Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after
 that I was instructed, I smote upon [my] thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even
 confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
   Jeremiah|31:20  [Is] Ephraim my dear son? [is he] a pleasant child? for
 since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my

 bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the
 LORD.
   Jeremiah|31:21  Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine
 heart toward the highway, [even] the way [which] thou wentest: turn again,
 O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
   Jeremiah|31:22  How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter?
 for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a
 man.
   Jeremiah|31:23  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet
 they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof,
 when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation
 of justice, [and] mountain of holiness.
   Jeremiah|31:24  And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the
 cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they [that] go forth with flocks.
   Jeremiah|31:25  For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have
 replenished every sorrowful soul.
   Jeremiah|31:26  Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet
 unto me.
   Jeremiah|31:27  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow
 the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with
 the seed of beast.

   Jeremiah|31:28  And it shall come to pass, [that] like as I have watched
 over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to
 destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant,
 saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|31:29  In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have
 eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
   Jeremiah|31:30  But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man
 that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
   Jeremiah|31:31  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a
 new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
   Jeremiah|31:32  Not according to the covenant that I made with their
 fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the
 land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto
 them, saith the LORD:
   Jeremiah|31:33  But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with
 the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in
 their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God,
 and they shall be my people.
   Jeremiah|31:34  And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and
 every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me,
 from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I

 will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
   Jeremiah|31:35  Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by
 day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by
 night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of
 hosts [is] his name:
   Jeremiah|31:36  If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the
 LORD, [then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before
 me for ever.
   Jeremiah|31:37  Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and
 the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all
 the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|31:38  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city
 shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the
 corner.
   Jeremiah|31:39  And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it
 upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
   Jeremiah|31:40  And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the
 ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the
 horse gate toward the east, [shall be] holy unto the LORD; it shall not be
 plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
   Jeremiah|32:1  The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth

 year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the eighteenth year of
 Nebuchadrezzar.
   Jeremiah|32:2  For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem:
 and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which
 [was] in the king of Judah's house.
   Jeremiah|32:3  For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying,
 Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will
 give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
   Jeremiah|32:4  And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the
 hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the
 king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes
 shall behold his eyes;
   Jeremiah|32:5  And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he
 be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans,
 ye shall not prosper.
   Jeremiah|32:6  And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me,
 saying,
   Jeremiah|32:7  Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come
 unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that [is] in Anathoth: for the right
 of redemption [is] thine to buy [it].
   Jeremiah|32:8  So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of

 the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my
 field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of
 Benjamin: for the right of inheritance [is] thine, and the redemption [is]
 thine; buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this [was] the word of the
 LORD.
   Jeremiah|32:9  And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that
 [was] in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, [even] seventeen shekels of
 silver.
   Jeremiah|32:10  And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed [it], and took
 witnesses, and weighed [him] the money in the balances.
   Jeremiah|32:11  So I took the evidence of the purchase, [both] that which
 was sealed [according] to the law and custom, and that which was open:
   Jeremiah|32:12  And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the
 son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's
 [son], and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the
 purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
   Jeremiah|32:13  And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
   Jeremiah|32:14  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take
 these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and
 this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they
 may continue many days.

   Jeremiah|32:15  For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
 Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
   Jeremiah|32:16  Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase
 unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
   Jeremiah|32:17  Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the
 earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, [and] there is nothing too
 hard for thee:
   Jeremiah|32:18  Thou showest lovingkindness unto thousands, and
 recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children
 after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, [is] his name,
   Jeremiah|32:19  Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes
 [are] open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one
 according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
   Jeremiah|32:20  Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,
 [even] unto this day, and in Israel, and among [other] men; and hast made
 thee a name, as at this day;
   Jeremiah|32:21  And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land
 of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a
 stretched out arm, and with great terror;
   Jeremiah|32:22  And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to
 their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;

   Jeremiah|32:23  And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not
 thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that
 thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to
 come upon them:
   Jeremiah|32:24  Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take
 it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight
 against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence:
 and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest [it].
   Jeremiah|32:25  And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the
 field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of
 the Chaldeans.
   Jeremiah|32:26  Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
   Jeremiah|32:27  Behold, I [am] the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there
 any thing too hard for me?
   Jeremiah|32:28  Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this
 city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar
 king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
   Jeremiah|32:29  And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall
 come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose
 roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings
 unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.

   Jeremiah|32:30  For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have
 only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have
 only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|32:31  For this city hath been to me [as] a provocation of mine
 anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day;
 that I should remove it from before my face,
   Jeremiah|32:32  Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of
 the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they,
 their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men
 of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|32:33  And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face:
 though I taught them, rising up early and teaching [them], yet they have
 not hearkened to receive instruction.
   Jeremiah|32:34  But they set their abominations in the house, which is
 called by my name, to defile it.
   Jeremiah|32:35  And they built the high places of Baal, which [are] in
 the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to
 pass through [the fire] unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither
 came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah
 to sin.
   Jeremiah|32:36  And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel,

 concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand
 of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the
 pestilence;
   Jeremiah|32:37  Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither
 I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I
 will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell
 safely:
   Jeremiah|32:38  And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
   Jeremiah|32:39  And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they
 may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after
 them:
   Jeremiah|32:40  And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I
 will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in
 their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
   Jeremiah|32:41  Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will
 plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole
 soul.
   Jeremiah|32:42  For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this
 great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I
 have promised them.
   Jeremiah|32:43  And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say,

 [It is] desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the
 Chaldeans.
   Jeremiah|32:44  Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences,
 and seal [them], and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the
 places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of
 the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the
 south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|33:1  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the
 second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
   Jeremiah|33:2  Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that
 formed it, to establish it; the LORD [is] his name;
   Jeremiah|33:3  Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great
 and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
   Jeremiah|33:4  For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the
 houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which
 are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
   Jeremiah|33:5  They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but [it is] to fill
 them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my
 fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
   Jeremiah|33:6  Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure
 them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.

   Jeremiah|33:7  And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity
 of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
   Jeremiah|33:8  And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby
 they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities,
 whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
   Jeremiah|33:9  And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an
 honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good
 that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness
 and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
   Jeremiah|33:10  Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this
 place, which ye say [shall be] desolate without man and without beast,
 [even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are
 desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
   Jeremiah|33:11  The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of
 the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall
 say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD [is] good; for his mercy
 [endureth] for ever: [and] of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise
 into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the
 land, as at the first, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|33:12  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which
 is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof,

 shall be an habitation of shepherds causing [their] flocks to lie down.
   Jeremiah|33:13  In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the
 vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in
 the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks
 pass again under the hands of him that telleth [them], saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|33:14  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
 perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and
 to the house of Judah.
   Jeremiah|33:15  In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch
 of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and
 righteousness in the land.
   Jeremiah|33:16  In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall
 dwell safely: and this [is the name] wherewith she shall be called, The
 LORD our righteousness.
   Jeremiah|33:17  For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to
 sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
   Jeremiah|33:18  Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before
 me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do
 sacrifice continually.
   Jeremiah|33:19  And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
   Jeremiah|33:20  Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the

 day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and
 night in their season;
   Jeremiah|33:21  [Then] may also my covenant be broken with David my
 servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with
 the Levites the priests, my ministers.
   Jeremiah|33:22  As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the
 sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant,
 and the Levites that minister unto me.
   Jeremiah|33:23  Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
   Jeremiah|33:24  Considerest thou not what this people have spoken,
 saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them
 off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a
 nation before them.
   Jeremiah|33:25  Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant [be] not with day and
 night, [and if] I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
   Jeremiah|33:26  Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my
 servant, [so] that I will not take [any] of his seed [to be] rulers over
 the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to
 return, and have mercy on them.
   Jeremiah|34:1  The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when
 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of

 the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem,
 and against all the cities thereof, saying,
   Jeremiah|34:2  Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to
 Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will
 give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it
 with fire:
   Jeremiah|34:3  And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt
 surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold
 the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to
 mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
   Jeremiah|34:4  Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah;
 Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
   Jeremiah|34:5  [But] thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of
 thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn
 [odours] for thee; and they will lament thee, [saying], Ah lord! for I have
 pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|34:6  Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto
 Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
   Jeremiah|34:7  When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem,
 and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and
 against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.

   Jeremiah|34:8  [This is] the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD,
 after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which
 [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
   Jeremiah|34:9  That every man should let his manservant, and every man
 his maidservant, [being] an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none
 should serve himself of them, [to wit], of a Jew his brother.
   Jeremiah|34:10  Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had
 entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant,
 and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves
 of them any more, then they obeyed, and let [them] go.
   Jeremiah|34:11  But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and
 the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into
 subjection for servants and for handmaids.
   Jeremiah|34:12  Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the
 LORD, saying,
   Jeremiah|34:13  Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant
 with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of
 Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
   Jeremiah|34:14  At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother
 an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six
 years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not

 unto me, neither inclined their ear.
   Jeremiah|34:15  And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight,
 in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a
 covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
   Jeremiah|34:16  But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man
 his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at
 their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you
 for servants and for handmaids.
   Jeremiah|34:17  Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto
 me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his
 neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the
 sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be
 removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
   Jeremiah|34:18  And I will give the men that have transgressed my
 covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had
 made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the
 parts thereof.
   Jeremiah|34:19  The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the
 eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed
 between the parts of the calf;
   Jeremiah|34:20  I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and

 into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be
 for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
   Jeremiah|34:21  And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give
 into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their
 life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up
 from you.
   Jeremiah|34:22  Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to
 return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn
 it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an
 inhabitant.
   Jeremiah|35:1  The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the
 days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
   Jeremiah|35:2  Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them,
 and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and
 give them wine to drink.
   Jeremiah|35:3  Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of
 Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the
 Rechabites;
   Jeremiah|35:4  And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the
 chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which
 [was] by the chamber of the princes, which [was] above the chamber of

 Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
   Jeremiah|35:5  And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites
 pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
   Jeremiah|35:6  But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son
 of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, [neither
 ye], nor your sons for ever:
   Jeremiah|35:7  Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant
 vineyard, nor have [any]: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that
 ye may live many days in the land where ye [be] strangers.
   Jeremiah|35:8  Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab
 our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days,
 we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
   Jeremiah|35:9  Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we
 vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
   Jeremiah|35:10  But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done
 according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
   Jeremiah|35:11  But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon
 came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for
 fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians:
 so we dwell at Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|35:12  Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

   Jeremiah|35:13  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and
 tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive
 instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|35:14  The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded
 his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink
 none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken
 unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
   Jeremiah|35:15  I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets,
 rising up early and sending [them], saying, Return ye now every man from
 his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve
 them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your
 fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
   Jeremiah|35:16  Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have
 performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but
 this people hath not hearkened unto me:
   Jeremiah|35:17  Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of
 Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have
 spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but
 they have not answered.
   Jeremiah|35:18  And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus

 saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the
 commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done
 according unto all that he hath commanded you:
   Jeremiah|35:19  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
 Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me
 for ever.
   Jeremiah|36:1  And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the
 son of Josiah king of Judah, [that] this word came unto Jeremiah from the
 LORD, saying,
   Jeremiah|36:2  Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the
 words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and
 against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of
 Josiah, even unto this day.
   Jeremiah|36:3  It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil
 which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his
 evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
   Jeremiah|36:4  Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch
 wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had
 spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
   Jeremiah|36:5  And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I [am] shut up; I
 cannot go into the house of the LORD:

   Jeremiah|36:6  Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast
 written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in
 the LORD'S house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the
 ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
   Jeremiah|36:7  It may be they will present their supplication before the
 LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great [is] the anger
 and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.
   Jeremiah|36:8  And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that
 Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the
 LORD in the LORD'S house.
   Jeremiah|36:9  And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son
 of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, [that] they proclaimed a fast
 before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that
 came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|36:10  Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the
 house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the
 scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD'S
 house, in the ears of all the people.
   Jeremiah|36:11  When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan,
 had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
   Jeremiah|36:12  Then he went down into the king's house, into the

 scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, [even] Elishama the
 scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor,
 and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all
 the princes.
   Jeremiah|36:13  Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he
 had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
   Jeremiah|36:14  Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of
 Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying,
 Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the
 people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand,
 and came unto them.
   Jeremiah|36:15  And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our
 ears. So Baruch read [it] in their ears.
   Jeremiah|36:16  Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words,
 they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely
 tell the king of all these words.
   Jeremiah|36:17  And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst
 thou write all these words at his mouth?
   Jeremiah|36:18  Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words
 unto me with his mouth, and I wrote [them] with ink in the book.
   Jeremiah|36:19  Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou

 and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
   Jeremiah|36:20  And they went in to the king into the court, but they
 laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the
 words in the ears of the king.
   Jeremiah|36:21  So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it
 out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the
 king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
   Jeremiah|36:22  Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month:
 and [there was a fire] on the hearth burning before him.
   Jeremiah|36:23  And it came to pass, [that] when Jehudi had read three or
 four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast [it] into the fire that
 [was] on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that [was]
 on the hearth.
   Jeremiah|36:24  Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments,
 [neither] the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
   Jeremiah|36:25  Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made
 intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not
 hear them.
   Jeremiah|36:26  But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech,
 and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take
 Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.

   Jeremiah|36:27  Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that
 the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth
 of Jeremiah, saying,
   Jeremiah|36:28  Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the
 former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah
 hath burned.
   Jeremiah|36:29  And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith
 the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written
 therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this
 land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
   Jeremiah|36:30  Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah;
 He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall
 be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
   Jeremiah|36:31  And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for
 their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced
 against them; but they hearkened not.
   Jeremiah|36:32  Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch
 the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah
 all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the
 fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.

   Jeremiah|37:1  And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of
 Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king
 in the land of Judah.
   Jeremiah|37:2  But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the
 land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet
 Jeremiah.
   Jeremiah|37:3  And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah
 and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah,
 saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.
   Jeremiah|37:4  Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for
 they had not put him into prison.
   Jeremiah|37:5  Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when
 the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed
 from Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|37:6  Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah,
 saying,
   Jeremiah|37:7  Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say
 to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of me; Behold,
 Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into
 their own land.
   Jeremiah|37:8  And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this

 city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
   Jeremiah|37:9  Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The
 Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
   Jeremiah|37:10  For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans
 that fight against you, and there remained [but] wounded men among them,
 [yet] should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with
 fire.
   Jeremiah|37:11  And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans
 was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
   Jeremiah|37:12  Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the
 land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
   Jeremiah|37:13  And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the
 ward [was] there, whose name [was] Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of
 Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to
 the Chaldeans.
   Jeremiah|37:14  Then said Jeremiah, [It is] false; I fall not away to the
 Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and
 brought him to the princes.
   Jeremiah|37:15  Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote
 him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they
 had made that the prison.

   Jeremiah|37:16  When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the
 cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
   Jeremiah|37:17  Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the
 king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there [any] word from
 the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be
 delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
   Jeremiah|37:18  Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I
 offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people,
 that ye have put me in prison?
   Jeremiah|37:19  Where [are] now your prophets which prophesied unto you,
 saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this
 land?
   Jeremiah|37:20  Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let
 my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me
 not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
   Jeremiah|37:21  Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit
 Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily
 a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city
 were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
   Jeremiah|38:1  Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of
 Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah,

 heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
   Jeremiah|38:2  Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall
 die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth
 forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey,
 and shall live.
   Jeremiah|38:3  Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into
 the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
   Jeremiah|38:4  Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee,
 let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of
 war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking
 such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people,
 but the hurt.
   Jeremiah|38:5  Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he [is] in your hand:
 for the king [is] not [he that] can do [any] thing against you.
   Jeremiah|38:6  Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of
 Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that [was] in the court of the prison: and
 they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon [there was] no water,
 but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
   Jeremiah|38:7  Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs
 which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the
 dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;

   Jeremiah|38:8  Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spake
 to the king, saying,
   Jeremiah|38:9  My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that
 they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the
 dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for
 [there is] no more bread in the city.
   Jeremiah|38:10  Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying,
 Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out
 of the dungeon, before he die.
   Jeremiah|38:11  So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the
 house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and
 old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
   Jeremiah|38:12  And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now
 [these] old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the
 cords. And Jeremiah did so.
   Jeremiah|38:13  So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out
 of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
   Jeremiah|38:14  Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the
 prophet unto him into the third entry that [is] in the house of the LORD:
 and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from
 me.

   Jeremiah|38:15  Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare [it] unto
 thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel,
 wilt thou not hearken unto me?
   Jeremiah|38:16  So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah,
 saying, [As] the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee
 to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy
 life.
   Jeremiah|38:17  Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD,
 the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto
 the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city
 shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
   Jeremiah|38:18  But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's
 princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and
 they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
   Jeremiah|38:19  And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of
 the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their
 hand, and they mock me.
   Jeremiah|38:20  But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver [thee]. Obey, I
 beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall
 be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
   Jeremiah|38:21  But if thou refuse to go forth, this [is] the word that

 the LORD hath showed me:
   Jeremiah|38:22  And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of
 Judah's house [shall be] brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes,
 and those [women] shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have
 prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, [and] they are
 turned away back.
   Jeremiah|38:23  So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to
 the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be
 taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to
 be burned with fire.
   Jeremiah|38:24  Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of
 these words, and thou shalt not die.
   Jeremiah|38:25  But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and
 they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast
 said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death;
 also what the king said unto thee:
   Jeremiah|38:26  Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my
 supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to
 Jonathan's house, to die there.
   Jeremiah|38:27  Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him:
 and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded.

 So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
   Jeremiah|38:28  So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the
 day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was [there] when Jerusalem was taken.
   Jeremiah|39:1  In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth
 month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against
 Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
   Jeremiah|39:2  [And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth
 month, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.
   Jeremiah|39:3  And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and
 sat in the middle gate, [even] Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim,
 Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of
 the king of Babylon.
   Jeremiah|39:4  And it came to pass, [that] when Zedekiah the king of
 Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out
 of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt
 the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
   Jeremiah|39:5  But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook
 Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they
 brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of
 Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
   Jeremiah|39:6  Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in

 Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of
 Judah.
   Jeremiah|39:7  Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with
 chains, to carry him to Babylon.
   Jeremiah|39:8  And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses
 of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.
   Jeremiah|39:9  Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away
 captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city,
 and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people
 that remained.
   Jeremiah|39:10  But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor
 of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them
 vineyards and fields at the same time.
   Jeremiah|39:11  Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning
 Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
   Jeremiah|39:12  Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but
 do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
   Jeremiah|39:13  So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and
 Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of
 Babylon's princes;
   Jeremiah|39:14  Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the

 prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of
 Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
   Jeremiah|39:15  Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was
 shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
   Jeremiah|39:16  Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus
 saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words
 upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be [accomplished]
 in that day before thee.
   Jeremiah|39:17  But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and
 thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou [art] afraid.
   Jeremiah|39:18  For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall
 by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast
 put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|40:1  The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that
 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had
 taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of
 Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.
   Jeremiah|40:2  And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto
 him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
   Jeremiah|40:3  Now the LORD hath brought [it], and done according as he
 hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his

 voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
   Jeremiah|40:4  And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains
 which [were] upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me
 into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto
 thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land [is]
 before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither
 go.
   Jeremiah|40:5  Now while he was not yet gone back, [he said], Go back
 also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of
 Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him
 among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go.
 So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
   Jeremiah|40:6  Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to
 Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
   Jeremiah|40:7  Now when all the captains of the forces which [were] in
 the fields, [even] they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had
 made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed
 unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them
 that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
   Jeremiah|40:8  Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son
 of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the

 son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the
 son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
   Jeremiah|40:9  And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware
 unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell
 in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
   Jeremiah|40:10  As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the
 Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer
 fruits, and oil, and put [them] in your vessels, and dwell in your cities
 that ye have taken.
   Jeremiah|40:11  Likewise when all the Jews that [were] in Moab, and among
 the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that [were] in all the countries, heard
 that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set
 over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
   Jeremiah|40:12  Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they
 were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and
 gathered wine and summer fruits very much.
   Jeremiah|40:13  Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains
 of the forces that [were] in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
   Jeremiah|40:14  And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis
 the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay
 thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.

   Jeremiah|40:15  Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in
 Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael
 the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know [it]: wherefore should he slay
 thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered,
 and the remnant in Judah perish?
   Jeremiah|40:16  But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son
 of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of
 Ishmael.
   Jeremiah|41:1  Now it came to pass in the seventh month, [that] Ishmael
 the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the
 princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of
 Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
   Jeremiah|41:2  Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men
 that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan
  over the land.
   Jeremiah|41:3  Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, [even]
 with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, [and]
 the men of war.
   Jeremiah|41:4  And it came to pass the second day after he had slain
 Gedaliah, and no man knew [it],
   Jeremiah|41:5  That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and

 from Samaria, [even] fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their
 clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in
 their hand, to bring [them] to the house of the LORD.
   Jeremiah|41:6  And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to
 meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met
 them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
   Jeremiah|41:7  And it was [so], when they came into the midst of the
 city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, [and cast them] into the
 midst of the pit, he, and the men that [were] with him.
   Jeremiah|41:8  But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael,
 Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley,
 and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their
 brethren.
   Jeremiah|41:9  Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies
 of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, [was] it which Asa the
 king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: [and] Ishmael the son of
 Nethaniah filled it with [them that were] slain.
   Jeremiah|41:10  Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the
 people that [were] in Mizpah, [even] the king's daughters, and all the
 people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard
 had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of

 Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the
 Ammonites.
   Jeremiah|41:11  But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains
 of the forces that [were] with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the
 son of Nethaniah had done,
   Jeremiah|41:12  Then they took all the men, and went to fight with
 Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that [are]
 in Gibeon.
   Jeremiah|41:13  Now it came to pass, [that] when all the people which
 [were] with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of
 the forces that [were] with him, then they were glad.
   Jeremiah|41:14  So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive
 from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of
 Kareah.
   Jeremiah|41:15  But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan
 with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
   Jeremiah|41:16  Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains
 of the forces that [were] with him, all the remnant of the people whom he
 had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after [that]
 he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, [even] mighty men of war, and the
 women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from

 Gibeon:
   Jeremiah|41:17  And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of
 Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
   Jeremiah|41:18  Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them,
 because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam,
 whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
   Jeremiah|42:1  Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son
 of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the
 least even unto the greatest, came near,
   Jeremiah|42:2  And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee,
 our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy
 God, [even] for all this remnant; (for we are left [but] a few of many, as
 thine eyes do behold us:)
   Jeremiah|42:3  That the LORD thy God may show us the way wherein we may
 walk, and the thing that we may do.
   Jeremiah|42:4  Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard
 [you]; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words;
 and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer
 you, I will declare [it] unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
   Jeremiah|42:5  Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and
 faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for

 the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
   Jeremiah|42:6  Whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will
 obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be
 well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.
   Jeremiah|42:7  And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the
 LORD came unto Jeremiah.
   Jeremiah|42:8  Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the
 captains of the forces which [were] with him, and all the people from the
 least even to the greatest,
   Jeremiah|42:9  And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of
 Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
   Jeremiah|42:10  If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build
 you, and not pull [you] down, and I will plant you, and not pluck [you] up:
 for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
   Jeremiah|42:11  Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are
 afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I [am] with you to save
 you, and to deliver you from his hand.
   Jeremiah|42:12  And I will show mercies unto you, that he may have mercy
 upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
   Jeremiah|42:13  But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither
 obey the voice of the LORD your God,

   Jeremiah|42:14  Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where
 we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of
 bread; and there will we dwell:
   Jeremiah|42:15  And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant
 of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set
 your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
   Jeremiah|42:16  Then it shall come to pass, [that] the sword, which ye
 feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine,
 whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and
 there ye shall die.
   Jeremiah|42:17  So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to
 go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine,
 and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the
 evil that I will bring upon them.
   Jeremiah|42:18  For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As
 mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter
 into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a
 curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
   Jeremiah|42:19  The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah;
 Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

   Jeremiah|42:20  For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto
 the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according
 unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will
 do [it].
   Jeremiah|42:21  And [now] I have this day declared [it] to you; but ye
 have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any [thing] for the
 which he hath sent me unto you.
   Jeremiah|42:22  Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the
 sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire
 to go [and] to sojourn.
   Jeremiah|43:1  And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end
 of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for
 which the LORD their God had sent him to them, [even] all these words,
   Jeremiah|43:2  Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the
 son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest
 falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to
 sojourn there:
   Jeremiah|43:3  But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us,
 for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to
 death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
   Jeremiah|43:4  So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the

 forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in
 the land of Judah.
   Jeremiah|43:5  But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the
 forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations,
 whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
   Jeremiah|43:6  [Even] men, and women, and children, and the king's
 daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had
 left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the
 prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
   Jeremiah|43:7  So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not
 the voice of the LORD: thus came they [even] to Tahpanhes.
   Jeremiah|43:8  Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes,
 saying,
   Jeremiah|43:9  Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay
 in the brickkiln, which [is] at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes,
 in the sight of the men of Judah;
   Jeremiah|43:10  And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God
 of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon,
 my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and
 he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
   Jeremiah|43:11  And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt,

 [and deliver] such [as are] for death to death; and such [as are] for
 captivity to captivity; and such [as are] for the sword to the sword.
   Jeremiah|43:12  And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of
 Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall
 array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment;
 and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
   Jeremiah|43:13  He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that [is]
 in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he
 burn with fire.
   Jeremiah|44:1  The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews
 which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes,
 and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
   Jeremiah|44:2  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have
 seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the
 cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they [are] a desolation, and no man
 dwelleth therein,
   Jeremiah|44:3  Because of their wickedness which they have committed to
 provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, [and] to serve
 other gods, whom they knew not, [neither] they, ye, nor your fathers.
   Jeremiah|44:4  Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets,
 rising early and sending [them], saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing

 that I hate.
   Jeremiah|44:5  But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn
 from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
   Jeremiah|44:6  Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was
 kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they
 are wasted [and] desolate, as at this day.
   Jeremiah|44:7  Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the
 God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye [this] great evil against your souls, to
 cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave
 you none to remain;
   Jeremiah|44:8  In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your
 hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be
 gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a
 curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
   Jeremiah|44:9  Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the
 wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and
 your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have
 committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
   Jeremiah|44:10  They are not humbled [even] unto this day, neither have
 they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before
 you and before your fathers.

   Jeremiah|44:11  Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
 Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all
 Judah.
   Jeremiah|44:12  And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their
 faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be
 consumed, [and] fall in the land of Egypt; they shall [even] be consumed by
 the sword [and] by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the
 greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration,
 [and] an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
   Jeremiah|44:13  For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt,
 as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the
 pestilence:
   Jeremiah|44:14  So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into
 the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they
 should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to
 return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
   Jeremiah|44:15  Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned
 incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great
 multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros,
 answered Jeremiah, saying,
   Jeremiah|44:16  [As for] the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the

 name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
   Jeremiah|44:17  But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out
 of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out
 drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings,
 and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem:
 for [then] had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
   Jeremiah|44:18  But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of
 heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all
 [things], and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
   Jeremiah|44:19  And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and
 poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her,
 and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
   Jeremiah|44:20  Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and
 to the women, and to all the people which had given him [that] answer,
 saying,
   Jeremiah|44:21  The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in
 the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your
 princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and
 came it [not] into his mind?
   Jeremiah|44:22  So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the
 evil of your doings, [and] because of the abominations which ye have

 committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a
 curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
   Jeremiah|44:23  Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have
 sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor
 walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore
 this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
   Jeremiah|44:24  Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all
 the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that [are] in the land of
 Egypt:
   Jeremiah|44:25  Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying;
 Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with
 your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to
 burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto
 her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
   Jeremiah|44:26  Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that
 dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith
 the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of
 Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.
   Jeremiah|44:27  Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for
 good: and all the men of Judah that [are] in the land of Egypt shall be
 consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

   Jeremiah|44:28  Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out
 of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah,
 that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose
 words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
   Jeremiah|44:29  And this [shall be] a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that
 I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall
 surely stand against you for evil:
   Jeremiah|44:30  Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra
 king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that
 seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
   Jeremiah|45:1  The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the
 son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of
 Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
 saying,
   Jeremiah|45:2  Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O
 Baruch;
   Jeremiah|45:3  Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added
 grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
   Jeremiah|45:4  Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold,
 [that] which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted

 I will pluck up, even this whole land.
   Jeremiah|45:5  And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek [them]
 not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy
 life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
   Jeremiah|46:1  The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet
 against the Gentiles;
   Jeremiah|46:2  Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of
 Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar
 king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah
 king of Judah.
   Jeremiah|46:3  Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
   Jeremiah|46:4  Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand
 forth with [your] helmets; furbish the spears, [and] put on the
 brigandines.
   Jeremiah|46:5  Wherefore have I seen them dismayed [and] turned away
 back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look
 not back: [for] fear [was] round about, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|46:6  Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape;
 they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
   Jeremiah|46:7  Who [is] this [that] cometh up as a flood, whose waters
 are moved as the rivers?

   Jeremiah|46:8  Egypt riseth up like a flood, and [his] waters are moved
 like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, [and] will cover the earth; I
 will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
   Jeremiah|46:9  Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the
 mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the
 shield; and the Lydians, that handle [and] bend the bow.
   Jeremiah|46:10  For this [is] the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of
 vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall
 devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the
 Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river
 Euphrates.
   Jeremiah|46:11  Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter
 of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; [for] thou shalt not be
 cured.
   Jeremiah|46:12  The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath
 filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, [and]
 they are fallen both together.
   Jeremiah|46:13  The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how
 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come [and] smite the land of Egypt.
   Jeremiah|46:14  Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish
 in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the

 sword shall devour round about thee.
   Jeremiah|46:15  Why are thy valiant [men] swept away? they stood not,
 because the LORD did drive them.
   Jeremiah|46:16  He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and
 they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of
 our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
   Jeremiah|46:17  They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt [is but] a
 noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
   Jeremiah|46:18  [As] I live, saith the King, whose name [is] the LORD of
 hosts, Surely as Tabor [is] among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea,
 [so] shall he come.
   Jeremiah|46:19  O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go
 into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
   Jeremiah|46:20  Egypt [is like] a very fair heifer, [but] destruction
 cometh; it cometh out of the north.
   Jeremiah|46:21  Also her hired men [are] in the midst of her like fatted
 bullocks; for they also are turned back, [and] are fled away together: they
 did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, [and]
 the time of their visitation.
   Jeremiah|46:22  The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall
 march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

   Jeremiah|46:23  They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it
 cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and [are]
 innumerable.
   Jeremiah|46:24  The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be
 delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
   Jeremiah|46:25  The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I
 will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods,
 and their kings; even Pharaoh, and [all] them that trust in him:
   Jeremiah|46:26  And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek
 their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into
 the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the
 days of old, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|46:27  But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not
 dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy
 seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in
 rest and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
   Jeremiah|46:28  Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I
 [am] with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I
 have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee
 in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
   Jeremiah|47:1  The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet

 against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
   Jeremiah|47:2  Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the
 north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and
 all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men
 shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
   Jeremiah|47:3  At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong
 [horses], at the rushing of his chariots, [and at] the rumbling of his
 wheels, the fathers shall not look back to [their] children for feebleness
 of hands;
   Jeremiah|47:4  Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the
 Philistines, [and] to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that
 remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the
 country of Caphtor.
   Jeremiah|47:5  Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off [with] the
 remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
   Jeremiah|47:6  O thou sword of the LORD, how long [will it be] ere thou
 be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
   Jeremiah|47:7  How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a
 charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed
 it.
   Jeremiah|48:1  Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of

 Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded [and]
 taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
   Jeremiah|48:2  [There shall be] no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they
 have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from [being] a
 nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
   Jeremiah|48:3  A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim, spoiling and
 great destruction.
   Jeremiah|48:4  Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be
 heard.
   Jeremiah|48:5  For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go
 up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of
 destruction.
   Jeremiah|48:6  Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the
 wilderness.
   Jeremiah|48:7  For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy
 treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into
 captivity [with] his priests and his princes together.
   Jeremiah|48:8  And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city
 shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be
 destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
   Jeremiah|48:9  Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for

 the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
   Jeremiah|48:10  Cursed [be] he that doeth the work of the LORD
 deceitfully, and cursed [be] he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
   Jeremiah|48:11  Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath
 settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
 neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him,
 and his scent is not changed.
   Jeremiah|48:12  Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I
 will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall
 empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
   Jeremiah|48:13  And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of
 Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
   Jeremiah|48:14  How say ye, We [are] mighty and strong men for the war?
   Jeremiah|48:15  Moab is spoiled, and gone up [out of] her cities, and his
 chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name
 [is] the LORD of hosts.
   Jeremiah|48:16  The calamity of Moab [is] near to come, and his
 affliction hasteth fast.
   Jeremiah|48:17  All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that
 know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, [and] the beautiful
 rod!

   Jeremiah|48:18  Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from
 [thy] glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon
 thee, [and] he shall destroy thy strong holds.
   Jeremiah|48:19  O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask
 him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, [and] say, What is done?
   Jeremiah|48:20  Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry;
 tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
   Jeremiah|48:21  And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon,
 and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
   Jeremiah|48:22  And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
   Jeremiah|48:23  And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon
 Bethmeon,
   Jeremiah|48:24  And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the
 cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
   Jeremiah|48:25  The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith
 the LORD.
   Jeremiah|48:26  Make ye him drunken: for he magnified [himself] against
 the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in
 derision.
   Jeremiah|48:27  For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found
 among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.

   Jeremiah|48:28  O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in
 the rock, and be like the dove [that] maketh her nest in the sides of the
 hole's mouth.
   Jeremiah|48:29  We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud)
 his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his
 heart.
   Jeremiah|48:30  I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but [it shall] not [be]
 so; his lies shall not so effect [it].
   Jeremiah|48:31  Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for
 all Moab; [mine heart] shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
   Jeremiah|48:32  O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping
 of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach [even] to the sea of
 Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
   Jeremiah|48:33  And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field,
 and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the
 winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; [their] shouting [shall be] no
 shouting.
   Jeremiah|48:34  From the cry of Heshbon [even] unto Elealeh, [and even]
 unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar [even] unto Horonaim,
 [as] an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be
 desolate.

   Jeremiah|48:35  Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD,
 him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his
 gods.
   Jeremiah|48:36  Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and
 mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the
 riches [that] he hath gotten are perished.
   Jeremiah|48:37  For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped:
 upon all the hands [shall be] cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
   Jeremiah|48:38  [There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the
 housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like
 a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure, saith the LORD.
   Jeremiah|48:39  They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how
 hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a
 dismaying to all them about him.

 eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

 woman in her pangs.

 because he hath magnified [himself] against the LORD.

 inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

 bring upon it, [even] upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the
 LORD.

 the head of the tumultuous ones.

 latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far [is] the judgment of Moab.

 people dwell in his cities?

 will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it
 shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then
 shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.

   Jeremiah|49:3  Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of
 Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges;

 together.

 places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and

 [that] shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but
 thou shalt surely drink [of it].

 despised among men.
   Jeremiah|49:16  Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, [and] the pride of

 her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is]
 that shepherd that will stand before me?
   Jeremiah|49:20  Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath
 taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the

 shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their
 camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear [is] on every side.

 Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken
 counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

 without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, [which]
 dwell alone.

 desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any] son of man
 dwell in it.

 bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
   Jeremiah|49:36  And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four
 quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there
 shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

 enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon
 them, [even] my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword
 after them, till I have consumed them:
   Jeremiah|49:38  And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from
 thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.

 standard; publish, [and] conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is
 confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her
 images are broken in pieces.

 which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they
 shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.

 shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations [shall be] a
 wilderness, a dry land, and a desert.

 ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned
 against the LORD.

 her.

 reserve.

 do unto her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One
 of Israel.

 Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run
 away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her?
 for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that
 shepherd that will stand before me?

 vengeance of his temple.

 their visitation they shall perish.

 mountain.

 have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.

 out.

 every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.

 that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come [one] year, and

 land, ruler against ruler.
   Jeremiah|51:47  Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment
 upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded,

 shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the
 north, saith the LORD.

 hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the
 LORD'S house.

 will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the
 wounded shall groan.

 should fortify the height of her strength, [yet] from me shall spoilers
 come unto her, saith the LORD.

   Jeremiah|51:54  A sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great
 destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
   Jeremiah|51:55  Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out
 of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise
 of their voice is uttered:
   Jeremiah|51:56  Because the spoiler is come upon her, [even] upon
 Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken:
 for the LORD God of recompenses shall surely requite.
   Jeremiah|51:57  And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise [men],
 her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a
 perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name [is] the LORD of
 hosts.

 shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and
 the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall
 be weary.
   Jeremiah|51:59  The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the
 son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of
 Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And [this] Seraiah
 [was] a quiet prince.
   Jeremiah|51:60  So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come

 upon Babylon, [even] all these words that are written against Babylon.
   Jeremiah|51:61  And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to
 Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
   Jeremiah|51:62  Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against
 this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor
 beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
   Jeremiah|51:63  And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading
 this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst
 of Euphrates:
   Jeremiah|51:64  And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall
 not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary.
 Thus far [are] the words of Jeremiah.
   Jeremiah|52:1  Zedekiah [was] one and twenty years old when he began to
 reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name
 [was] Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
   Jeremiah|52:2  And he did [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD,
 according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
   Jeremiah|52:3  For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in
 Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that
 Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
   Jeremiah|52:4  And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the

 tenth month, in the tenth [day] of the month, [that] Nebuchadrezzar king of
 Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against
 it, and built forts against it round about.
   Jeremiah|52:5  So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king
 Zedekiah.
   Jeremiah|52:6  And in the fourth month, in the ninth [day] of the month,
 the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people
 of the land.
   Jeremiah|52:7  Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled,
 and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the
 two walls, which [was] by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans [were] by
 the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.
   Jeremiah|52:8  But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and
 overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered
 from him.
   Jeremiah|52:9  Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king
 of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon
 him.
   Jeremiah|52:10  And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before
 his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
   Jeremiah|52:11  Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of

 Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in
 prison till the day of his death.
   Jeremiah|52:12  Now in the fifth month, in the tenth [day] of the month,
 which [was] the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came
 Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, [which] served the king of Babylon, into
 Jerusalem,
   Jeremiah|52:13  And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house;
 and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great [men],
 burned he with fire:
   Jeremiah|52:14  And all the army of the Chaldeans, that [were] with the
 captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
   Jeremiah|52:15  Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away
 captive [certain] of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people
 that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king
 of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
   Jeremiah|52:16  But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left [certain]
 of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
   Jeremiah|52:17  Also the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the
 LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that [was] in the house of the
 LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
   Jeremiah|52:18  The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and

 the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they
 ministered, took they away.
   Jeremiah|52:19  And the basins, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the
 caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; [that] which
 [was] of gold [in] gold, and [that] which [was] of silver [in] silver, took
 the captain of the guard away.
   Jeremiah|52:20  The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brazen bulls that
 [were] under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the
 LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
   Jeremiah|52:21  And [concerning] the pillars, the height of one pillar
 [was] eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and
 the thickness thereof [was] four fingers: [it was] hollow.
   Jeremiah|52:22  And a chapiter of brass [was] upon it; and the height of
 one chapiter [was] five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the
 chapiters round about, all [of] brass. The second pillar also and the
 pomegranates [were] like unto these.
   Jeremiah|52:23  And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side;
 [and] all the pomegranates upon the network [were] an hundred round about.
   Jeremiah|52:24  And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief
 priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
   Jeremiah|52:25  He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the

 charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's
 person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host,
 who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of
 the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
   Jeremiah|52:26  So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and
 brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
   Jeremiah|52:27  And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death
 in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of
 his own land.
   Jeremiah|52:28  This [is] the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away
 captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
   Jeremiah|52:29  In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away
 captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
   Jeremiah|52:30  In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar
 Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven
 hundred forty and five persons: all the persons [were] four thousand and
 six hundred.
   Jeremiah|52:31  And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of
 the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the
 five and twentieth [day] of the month, [that] Evilmerodach king of Babylon
 in the [first] year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of

 Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,
   Jeremiah|52:32  And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the
 throne of the kings that [were] with him in Babylon,
   Jeremiah|52:33  And changed his prison garments: and he did continually
 eat bread before him all the days of his life.
   Jeremiah|52:34  And [for] his diet, there was a continual diet given him
 of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all
 the days of his life.
   Lamentations|1:1  How doth the city sit solitary, [that was] full of
 people! [how] is she become as a widow! she [that was] great among the
 nations, [and] princess among the provinces, [how] is she become tributary!
   Lamentations|1:2  She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears [are] on
 her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort [her]: all her
 friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
   Lamentations|1:3  Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and
 because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no
 rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
   Lamentations|1:4  The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the
 solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins
 are afflicted, and she [is] in bitterness.
   Lamentations|1:5  Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for

 the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her
 children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
   Lamentations|1:6  And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is
 departed: her princes are become like harts [that] find no pasture, and
 they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
   Lamentations|1:7  Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and
 of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old,
 when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the
 adversaries saw her, [and] did mock at her sabbaths.
   Lamentations|1:8  Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is
 removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her
 nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
   Lamentations|1:9  Her filthiness [is] in her skirts; she remembereth not
 her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O
 LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified [himself].
   Lamentations|1:10  The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her
 pleasant things: for she hath seen [that] the heathen entered into her
 sanctuary, whom thou didst command [that] they should not enter into thy
 congregation.
   Lamentations|1:11  All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given
 their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and

 consider; for I am become vile.
   Lamentations|1:12  [Is it] nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold,
 and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me,
 wherewith the LORD hath afflicted [me] in the day of his fierce anger.
   Lamentations|1:13  From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it
 prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned
 me back: he hath made me desolate [and] faint all the day.
   Lamentations|1:14  The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand:
 they are wreathed, [and] come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to
 fall, the Lord hath delivered me into [their] hands, [from whom] I am not
 able to rise up.
   Lamentations|1:15  The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty [men]
 in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young
 men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, [as] in a
 winepress.
   Lamentations|1:16  For these [things] I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth
 down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far
 from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
   Lamentations|1:17  Zion spreadeth forth her hands, [and there is] none to
 comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, [that] his
 adversaries [should be] round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman

 among them.
   Lamentations|1:18  The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his
 commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins
 and my young men are gone into captivity.
   Lamentations|1:19  I called for my lovers, [but] they deceived me: my
 priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought
 their meat to relieve their souls.
   Lamentations|1:20  Behold, O LORD; for I [am] in distress: my bowels are
 troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled:
 abroad the sword bereaveth, at home [there is] as death.
   Lamentations|1:21  They have heard that I sigh: [there is] none to
 comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that
 thou hast done [it]: thou wilt bring the day [that] thou hast called, and
 they shall be like unto me.
   Lamentations|1:22  Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto
 them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs
 [are] many, and my heart [is] faint.
   Lamentations|2:1  How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a
 cloud in his anger, [and] cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty
 of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
   Lamentations|2:2  The Lord hath swallowed up all the habitations of

 Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong
 holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought [them] down to the ground:
 he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
   Lamentations|2:3  He hath cut off in [his] fierce anger all the horn of
 Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he
 burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, [which] devoureth round about.
   Lamentations|2:4  He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his
 right hand as an adversary, and slew all [that were] pleasant to the eye in
 the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
   Lamentations|2:5  The Lord was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel,
 he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds,
 and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
   Lamentations|2:6  And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as [if
 it were of] a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the
 LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion,
 and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
   Lamentations|2:7  The Lord hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his
 sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her
 palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of
 a solemn feast.
   Lamentations|2:8  The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the

 daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his
 hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament;
 they languished together.
   Lamentations|2:9  Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed
 and broken her bars: her king and her princes [are] among the Gentiles: the
 law [is] no [more]; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
   Lamentations|2:10  The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the
 ground, [and] keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they
 have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down
 their heads to the ground.
   Lamentations|2:11  Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled,
 my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of
 my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of
 the city.
   Lamentations|2:12  They say to their mothers, Where [is] corn and wine?
 when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their
 soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
   Lamentations|2:13  What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what
 thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to
 thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach
 [is] great like the sea: who can heal thee?

   Lamentations|2:14  Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for
 thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy
 captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
   Lamentations|2:15  All that pass by clap [their] hands at thee; they hiss
 and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, [saying, Is] this the city
 that [men] call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
   Lamentations|2:16  All thine enemies have opened their mouth against
 thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed [her] up:
 certainly this [is] the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen
 [it].
   Lamentations|2:17  The LORD hath done [that] which he had devised; he
 hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath
 thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused [thine] enemy to
 rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
   Lamentations|2:18  Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the
 daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give
 thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
   Lamentations|2:19  Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the
 watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift
 up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for
 hunger in the top of every street.

   Lamentations|2:20  Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done
 this. Shall the women eat their fruit, [and] children of a span long? shall
 the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
   Lamentations|2:21  The young and the old lie on the ground in the
 streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast
 slain [them] in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, [and] not pitied.
   Lamentations|2:22  Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round
 about, so that in the day of the LORD'S anger none escaped nor remained:
 those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
   Lamentations|3:1 I [am] the man [that] hath seen affliction by the rod of
 his wrath.
   Lamentations|3:2  He hath led me, and brought [me into] darkness, but not
 [into] light.
   Lamentations|3:3  Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand
 [against me] all the day.
   Lamentations|3:4  My flesh and my skin hath he made old: he hath broken
 my bones.
   Lamentations|3:5  He hath builded against me, and compassed [me] with
 gall and travail.
   Lamentations|3:6  He hath set me in dark places, as [they that be] dead
 of old.

   Lamentations|3:7  He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath
 made my chain heavy.
   Lamentations|3:8  Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
   Lamentations|3:9  He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made
 my paths crooked.
   Lamentations|3:10  He [was] unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, [and as] a
 lion in secret places.
   Lamentations|3:11  He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces:
 he hath made me desolate.
   Lamentations|3:12  He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the
 arrow.
   Lamentations|3:13  He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into
 my reins.
   Lamentations|3:14  I was a derision to all my people; [and] their song
 all the day.
   Lamentations|3:15  He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me
 drunken with wormwood.
   Lamentations|3:16  He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he
 hath covered me with ashes.
   Lamentations|3:17  And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I
 forgat prosperity.

   Lamentations|3:18  And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from
 the LORD:
   Lamentations|3:19  Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the
 wormwood and the gall.
   Lamentations|3:20  My soul hath [them] still in remembrance, and is
 humbled in me.
   Lamentations|3:21  This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
   Lamentations|3:22  [It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not
 consumed, because his compassions fail not.
   Lamentations|3:23  [They are] new every morning: great [is] thy
 faithfulness.
   Lamentations|3:24  The LORD [is] my portion, saith my soul; therefore
 will I hope in him.
   Lamentations|3:25  The LORD [is] good unto them that wait for him, to the
 soul [that] seeketh him.
   Lamentations|3:26  [It is] good that [a man] should both hope and quietly
 wait for the salvation of the LORD.
   Lamentations|3:27  [It is] good for a man that he bear the yoke in his
 youth.
   Lamentations|3:28  He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath
 borne [it] upon him.

   Lamentations|3:29  He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may
 be hope.
   Lamentations|3:30  He giveth [his] cheek to him that smiteth him: he is
 filled full with reproach.
   Lamentations|3:31  For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
   Lamentations|3:32  But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion
 according to the multitude of his mercies.
   Lamentations|3:33  For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the
 children of men.
   Lamentations|3:34  To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the
 earth,
   Lamentations|3:35  To turn aside the right of a man before the face of
 the most High,
   Lamentations|3:36  To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
   Lamentations|3:37  Who [is] he [that] saith, and it cometh to pass,
 [when] the Lord commandeth [it] not?
   Lamentations|3:38  Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil
 and good?
   Lamentations|3:39  Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the
 punishment of his sins?
   Lamentations|3:40  Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the

 LORD.
   Lamentations|3:41  Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in
 the heavens.
   Lamentations|3:42  We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not
 pardoned.
   Lamentations|3:43  Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou
 hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
   Lamentations|3:44  Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our]
 prayer should not pass through.
   Lamentations|3:45  Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in
 the midst of the people.
   Lamentations|3:46  All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
   Lamentations|3:47  Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and
 destruction.
   Lamentations|3:48  Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the
 destruction of the daughter of my people.
   Lamentations|3:49  Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any
 intermission,
   Lamentations|3:50  Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
   Lamentations|3:51  Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the
 daughters of my city.

   Lamentations|3:52  Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without
 cause.
   Lamentations|3:53  They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a
 stone upon me.
   Lamentations|3:54  Waters flowed over mine head; [then] I said, I am cut
 off.
   Lamentations|3:55  I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low
 dungeon.
   Lamentations|3:56  Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my
 breathing, at my cry.
   Lamentations|3:57  Thou drewest near in the day [that] I called upon
 thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
   Lamentations|3:58  O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou
 hast redeemed my life.
   Lamentations|3:59  O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
   Lamentations|3:60  Thou hast seen all their vengeance [and] all their
 imaginations against me.
   Lamentations|3:61  Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, [and] all
 their imaginations against me;
   Lamentations|3:62  The lips of those that rose up against me, and their
 device against me all the day.

   Lamentations|3:63  Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I [am]
 their music.
   Lamentations|3:64  Render unto them a recompense, O LORD, according to
 the work of their hands.
   Lamentations|3:65  Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
   Lamentations|3:66  Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the
 heavens of the LORD.
   Lamentations|4:1  How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most fine gold
 changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every
 street.
   Lamentations|4:2  The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how
 are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
   Lamentations|4:3  Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give
 suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people [is become] cruel, like
 the ostriches in the wilderness.
   Lamentations|4:4  The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of
 his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, [and] no man breaketh
 [it] unto them.
   Lamentations|4:5  They that did feed delicately are desolate in the
 streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
   Lamentations|4:6  For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of

 my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was
 overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
   Lamentations|4:7  Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter
 than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing [was]
 of sapphire:
   Lamentations|4:8  Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known
 in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is
 become like a stick.
   Lamentations|4:9  [They that be] slain with the sword are better than
 [they that be] slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for
 [want of] the fruits of the field.
   Lamentations|4:10  The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own
 children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my
 people.
   Lamentations|4:11  The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured
 out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured
 the foundations thereof.
   Lamentations|4:12  The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the
 world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have
 entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
   Lamentations|4:13  For the sins of her prophets, [and] the iniquities of

 her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
   Lamentations|4:14  They have wandered [as] blind [men] in the streets,
 they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their
 garments.
   Lamentations|4:15  They cried unto them, Depart ye; [it is] unclean;
 depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said
 among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn [there].
   Lamentations|4:16  The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no
 more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they
 favoured not the elders.
   Lamentations|4:17  As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help:
 in our watching we have watched for a nation [that] could not save [us].
   Lamentations|4:18  They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets:
 our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
   Lamentations|4:19  Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the
 heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the
 wilderness.
   Lamentations|4:20  The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD,
 was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live
 among the heathen.
   Lamentations|4:21  Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest

 in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be
 drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
   Lamentations|4:22  The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O
 daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will
 visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.
   Lamentations|5:1  Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and
 behold our reproach.
   Lamentations|5:2  Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to
 aliens.
   Lamentations|5:3  We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers [are] as
 widows.
   Lamentations|5:4  We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold
 unto us.
   Lamentations|5:5  Our necks [are] under persecution: we labour, [and]
 have no rest.
   Lamentations|5:6  We have given the hand [to] the Egyptians, [and to] the
 Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
   Lamentations|5:7  Our fathers have sinned, [and are] not; and we have
 borne their iniquities.
   Lamentations|5:8  Servants have ruled over us: [there is] none that doth
 deliver [us] out of their hand.

   Lamentations|5:9  We gat our bread with [the peril of] our lives because
 of the sword of the wilderness.
   Lamentations|5:10  Our skin was black like an oven because of the
 terrible famine.
   Lamentations|5:11  They ravished the women in Zion, [and] the maids in
 the cities of Judah.
   Lamentations|5:12  Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of
 elders were not honoured.
   Lamentations|5:13  They took the young men to grind, and the children
 fell under the wood.
   Lamentations|5:14  The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men
 from their music.
   Lamentations|5:15  The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned
 into mourning.
   Lamentations|5:16  The crown is fallen [from] our head: woe unto us, that
 we have sinned!
   Lamentations|5:17  For this our heart is faint; for these [things] our
 eyes are dim.
   Lamentations|5:18  Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate,
 the foxes walk upon it.
   Lamentations|5:19  Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from

 generation to generation.
   Lamentations|5:20  Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, [and] forsake
 us so long time?
   Lamentations|5:21  Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be
 turned; renew our days as of old.
   Lamentations|5:22  But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth
 against us.
   Ezekiel|1:1  Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth
 [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I [was] among the captives by
 the river of Chebar, [that] the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of
 God.
   Ezekiel|1:2  In the fifth [day] of the month, which [was] the fifth year
 of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
   Ezekiel|1:3  The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest,
 the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the
 hand of the LORD was there upon him.
   Ezekiel|1:4  And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the
 north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was]
 about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the
 midst of the fire.
   Ezekiel|1:5  Also out of the midst thereof [came] the likeness of four

 living creatures. And this [was] their appearance; they had the likeness of
 a man.
   Ezekiel|1:6  And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
   Ezekiel|1:7  And their feet [were] straight feet; and the sole of their
 feet [was] like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the
 colour of burnished brass.
   Ezekiel|1:8  And [they had] the hands of a man under their wings on their
 four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
   Ezekiel|1:9  Their wings [were] joined one to another; they turned not
 when they went; they went every one straight forward.
   Ezekiel|1:10  As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face
 of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the
 face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
   Ezekiel|1:11  Thus [were] their faces: and their wings [were] stretched
 upward; two [wings] of every one [were] joined one to another, and two
 covered their bodies.
   Ezekiel|1:12  And they went every one straight forward: whither the
 spirit was to go, they went; [and] they turned not when they went.
   Ezekiel|1:13  As for the likeness of the living creatures, their
 appearance [was] like burning coals of fire, [and] like the appearance of
 lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was

 bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
   Ezekiel|1:14  And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance
 of a flash of lightning.
   Ezekiel|1:15  Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon
 the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
   Ezekiel|1:16  The appearance of the wheels and their work [was] like unto
 the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance
 and their work [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
   Ezekiel|1:17  When they went, they went upon their four sides: [and] they
 turned not when they went.
   Ezekiel|1:18  As for their rings, they were so high that they were
 dreadful; and their rings [were] full of eyes round about them four.
   Ezekiel|1:19  And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by
 them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the
 wheels were lifted up.
   Ezekiel|1:20  Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither [was
 their] spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for
 the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
   Ezekiel|1:21  When those went, [these] went; and when those stood,
 [these] stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels
 were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature

 [was] in the wheels.
   Ezekiel|1:22  And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the
 living creature [was] as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched
 forth over their heads above.
   Ezekiel|1:23  And under the firmament [were] their wings straight, the
 one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and
 every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
   Ezekiel|1:24  And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like
 the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of
 speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their
 wings.
   Ezekiel|1:25  And there was a voice from the firmament that [was] over
 their heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their wings.
   Ezekiel|1:26  And above the firmament that [was] over their heads [was]
 the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon
 the likeness of the throne [was] the likeness as the appearance of a man
 above upon it.
   Ezekiel|1:27  And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire
 round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and
 from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the
 appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.

   Ezekiel|1:28  As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the
 day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness round about. This
 [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I
 saw [it], I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
   Ezekiel|2:1  And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I
 will speak unto thee.
   Ezekiel|2:2  And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and
 set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
   Ezekiel|2:3  And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children
 of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and
 their fathers have transgressed against me, [even] unto this very day.
   Ezekiel|2:4  For [they are] impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send
 thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|2:5  And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will
 forbear, (for they [are] a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there
 hath been a prophet among them.
   Ezekiel|2:6  And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be
 afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou
 dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed
 at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house.
   Ezekiel|2:7  And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will

 hear, or whether they will forbear: for they [are] most rebellious.
   Ezekiel|2:8  But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou
 rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give
 thee.
   Ezekiel|2:9  And when I looked, behold, an hand [was] sent unto me; and,
 lo, a roll of a book [was] therein;
   Ezekiel|2:10  And he spread it before me; and it [was] written within and
 without: and [there was] written therein lamentations, and mourning, and
 woe.
   Ezekiel|3:1  Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest;
 eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|3:2  So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
   Ezekiel|3:3  And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and
 fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat [it]; and
 it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
   Ezekiel|3:4  And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house
 of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
   Ezekiel|3:5  For thou [art] not sent to a people of a strange speech and
 of an hard language, [but] to the house of Israel;
   Ezekiel|3:6  Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard
 language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to

 them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
   Ezekiel|3:7  But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they
 will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel [are] impudent and
 hardhearted.
   Ezekiel|3:8  Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and
 thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
   Ezekiel|3:9  As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead:
 fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a
 rebellious house.
   Ezekiel|3:10  Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I
 shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
   Ezekiel|3:11  And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the
 children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the
 Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
   Ezekiel|3:12  Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice
 of a great rushing, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the LORD from his
 place.
   Ezekiel|3:13  [I heard] also the noise of the wings of the living
 creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over
 against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
   Ezekiel|3:14  So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in

 bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong
 upon me.
   Ezekiel|3:15  Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt
 by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there
 astonished among them seven days.
   Ezekiel|3:16  And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word
 of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|3:17  Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of
 Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
   Ezekiel|3:18  When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou
 givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked
 way, to save his life; the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but
 his blood will I require at thine hand.
   Ezekiel|3:19  Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his
 wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou
 hast delivered thy soul.
   Ezekiel|3:20  Again, When a righteous [man] doth turn from his
 righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him,
 he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his
 sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but
 his blood will I require at thine hand.

   Ezekiel|3:21  Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous [man], that the
 righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is
 warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
   Ezekiel|3:22  And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said
 unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
   Ezekiel|3:23  Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold,
 the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of
 Chebar: and I fell on my face.
   Ezekiel|3:24  Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet,
 and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
   Ezekiel|3:25  But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon
 thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
   Ezekiel|3:26  And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth,
 that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they
 [are] a rebellious house.
   Ezekiel|3:27  But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou
 shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him
 hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they [are] a rebellious
 house.
   Ezekiel|4:1  Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before
 thee, and portray upon it the city, [even] Jerusalem:

   Ezekiel|4:2  And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and
 cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering]
 rams against it round about.
   Ezekiel|4:3  Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it [for] a
 wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it
 shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall be] a
 sign to the house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|4:4  Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of
 the house of Israel upon it: [according] to the number of the days that
 thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
   Ezekiel|4:5  For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity,
 according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so
 shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|4:6  And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right
 side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I
 have appointed thee each day for a year.
   Ezekiel|4:7  Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of
 Jerusalem, and thine arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy
 against it.
   Ezekiel|4:8  And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not
 turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy

 siege.
   Ezekiel|4:9  Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and
 lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make
 thee bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt
 lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
   Ezekiel|4:10  And thy meat which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight,
 twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
   Ezekiel|4:11  Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of
 an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
   Ezekiel|4:12  And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt
 bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
   Ezekiel|4:13  And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel
 eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
   Ezekiel|4:14  Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been
 polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which
 dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh
 into my mouth.
   Ezekiel|4:15  Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for
 man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
   Ezekiel|4:16  Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break
 the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and

 with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
   Ezekiel|4:17  That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one
 with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
   Ezekiel|5:1  And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a
 barber's razor, and cause [it] to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard:
 then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the [hair].
   Ezekiel|5:2  Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the
 city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third
 part, [and] smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt
 scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
   Ezekiel|5:3  Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them
 in thy skirts.
   Ezekiel|5:4  Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the
 fire, and burn them in the fire; [for] thereof shall a fire come forth into
 all the house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|5:5  Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [is] Jerusalem: I have set it
 in the midst of the nations and countries [that are] round about her.
   Ezekiel|5:6  And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than
 the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that [are] round about
 her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not
 walked in them.

   Ezekiel|5:7  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied
 more than the nations that [are] round about you, [and] have not walked in
 my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to
 the judgments of the nations that [are] round about you;
   Ezekiel|5:8  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, [am]
 against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight
 of the nations.
   Ezekiel|5:9  And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and
 whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine
 abominations.
   Ezekiel|5:10  Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of
 thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in
 thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
   Ezekiel|5:11  Wherefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because
 thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all
 thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish [thee]; neither shall
 mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
   Ezekiel|5:12  A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and
 with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part
 shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part
 into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

   Ezekiel|5:13  Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my
 fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I
 the LORD have spoken [it] in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in
 them.
   Ezekiel|5:14  Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the
 nations that [are] round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
   Ezekiel|5:15  So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and
 an astonishment unto the nations that [are] round about thee, when I shall
 execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I
 the LORD have spoken [it].
   Ezekiel|5:16  When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine,
 which shall be for [their] destruction, [and] which I will send to destroy
 you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of
 bread:
   Ezekiel|5:17  So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they
 shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I
 will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken [it].
   Ezekiel|6:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|6:2  Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and
 prophesy against them,
   Ezekiel|6:3  And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord

 GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the
 rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, [even] I, will bring a sword upon
 you, and I will destroy your high places.
   Ezekiel|6:4  And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be
 broken: and I will cast down your slain [men] before your idols.
   Ezekiel|6:5  And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel
 before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
   Ezekiel|6:6  In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste,
 and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste
 and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images
 may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
   Ezekiel|6:7  And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall
 know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|6:8  Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have [some] that
 shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered
 through the countries.
   Ezekiel|6:9  And they that escape of you shall remember me among the
 nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with
 their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes,
 which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for
 the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

   Ezekiel|6:10  And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I have
 not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
   Ezekiel|6:11  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp
 with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of
 Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the
 pestilence.
   Ezekiel|6:12  He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that
 is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged
 shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
   Ezekiel|6:13  Then shall ye know that I [am] the LORD, when their slain
 [men] shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high
 hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and
 under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all
 their idols.
   Ezekiel|6:14  So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land
 desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all
 their habitations: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|7:1  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|7:2  Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land
 of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
   Ezekiel|7:3  Now [is] the end [come] upon thee, and I will send mine

 anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will
 recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
   Ezekiel|7:4  And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity:
 but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be
 in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|7:5  Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is
 come.
   Ezekiel|7:6  An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee;
 behold, it is come.
   Ezekiel|7:7  The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the
 land: the time is come, the day of trouble [is] near, and not the sounding
 again of the mountains.
   Ezekiel|7:8  Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and
 accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy
 ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
   Ezekiel|7:9  And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I
 will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations [that]
 are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD that
 smiteth.
   Ezekiel|7:10  Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone
 forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.

   Ezekiel|7:11  Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them
 [shall remain], nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither
 [shall there be] wailing for them.
   Ezekiel|7:12  The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer
 rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath [is] upon all the multitude
 thereof.
   Ezekiel|7:13  For the seller shall not return to that which is sold,
 although they were yet alive: for the vision [is] touching the whole
 multitude thereof, [which] shall not return; neither shall any strengthen
 himself in the iniquity of his life.
   Ezekiel|7:14  They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but
 none goeth to the battle: for my wrath [is] upon all the multitude thereof.
   Ezekiel|7:15  The sword [is] without, and the pestilence and the famine
 within: he that [is] in the field shall die with the sword; and he that
 [is] in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
   Ezekiel|7:16  But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on
 the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one
 for his iniquity.
   Ezekiel|7:17  All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak [as]
 water.
   Ezekiel|7:18  They shall also gird [themselves] with sackcloth, and

 horror shall cover them; and shame [shall be] upon all faces, and baldness
 upon all their heads.
   Ezekiel|7:19  They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold
 shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver
 them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their
 souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their
 iniquity.
   Ezekiel|7:20  As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty:
 but they made the images of their abominations [and] of their detestable
 things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
   Ezekiel|7:21  And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a
 prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute
 it.
   Ezekiel|7:22  My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute
 my secret [place]: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
   Ezekiel|7:23  Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and
 the city is full of violence.
   Ezekiel|7:24  Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they
 shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to
 cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
   Ezekiel|7:25  Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and [there

 shall be] none.
   Ezekiel|7:26  Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon
 rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall
 perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
   Ezekiel|7:27  The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with
 desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I
 will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I
 judge them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|8:1  And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month],
 in the fifth [day] of the month, [as] I sat in mine house, and the elders
 of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
   Ezekiel|8:2  Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire:
 from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins
 even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
   Ezekiel|8:3  And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock
 of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven,
 and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner
 gate that looketh toward the north; where [was] the seat of the image of
 jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
   Ezekiel|8:4  And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel [was] there,
 according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

   Ezekiel|8:5  Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the
 way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north,
 and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the
 entry.
   Ezekiel|8:6  He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what
 they do? [even] the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth
 here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again,
 [and] thou shalt see greater abominations.
   Ezekiel|8:7  And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I
 looked, behold a hole in the wall.
   Ezekiel|8:8  Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and
 when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
   Ezekiel|8:9  And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked
 abominations that they do here.
   Ezekiel|8:10  So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping
 things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel,
 portrayed upon the wall round about.
   Ezekiel|8:11  And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of
 the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of
 Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of
 incense went up.

   Ezekiel|8:12  Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the
 ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers
 of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken
 the earth.
   Ezekiel|8:13  He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt
 see greater abominations that they do.
   Ezekiel|8:14  Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S
 house which [was] toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping
 for Tammuz.
   Ezekiel|8:15  Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man?
 turn thee yet again, [and] thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
   Ezekiel|8:16  And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house,
 and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and
 the altar, [were] about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the
 temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped
 the sun toward the east.
   Ezekiel|8:17  Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man?
 Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations
 which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and
 have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their
 nose.

   Ezekiel|8:18  Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not
 spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a
 loud voice, [yet] will I not hear them.
   Ezekiel|9:1  He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause
 them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his
 destroying weapon in his hand.
   Ezekiel|9:2  And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate,
 which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand;
 and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by
 his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
   Ezekiel|9:3  And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the
 cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to
 the man clothed with linen, which [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side;
   Ezekiel|9:4  And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the
 city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of
 the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the
 midst thereof.
   Ezekiel|9:5  And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him
 through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
   Ezekiel|9:6  Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little
 children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and

 begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which [were]
 before the house.
   Ezekiel|9:7  And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts
 with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
   Ezekiel|9:8  And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was
 left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou
 destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon
 Jerusalem?
   Ezekiel|9:9  Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel
 and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city
 full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and
 the LORD seeth not.
   Ezekiel|9:10  And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will
 I have pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.
   Ezekiel|9:11  And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the
 inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast
 commanded me.
   Ezekiel|10:1  Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above
 the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire
 stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
   Ezekiel|10:2  And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go

 in between the wheels, [even] under the cherub, and fill thine hand with
 coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter [them] over the city.
 And he went in in my sight.
   Ezekiel|10:3  Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house,
 when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
   Ezekiel|10:4  Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, [and
 stood] over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the
 cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD'S glory.
   Ezekiel|10:5  And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard [even] to
 the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
   Ezekiel|10:6  And it came to pass, [that] when he had commanded the man
 clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between
 the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
   Ezekiel|10:7  And [one] cherub stretched forth his hand from between the
 cherubims unto the fire that [was] between the cherubims, and took
 [thereof], and put [it] into the hands of [him that was] clothed with
 linen: who took [it], and went out.
   Ezekiel|10:8  And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's
 hand under their wings.
   Ezekiel|10:9  And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims,
 one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the

 appearance of the wheels [was] as the colour of a beryl stone.
   Ezekiel|10:10  And [as for] their appearances, they four had one
 likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
   Ezekiel|10:11  When they went, they went upon their four sides; they
 turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they
 followed it; they turned not as they went.
   Ezekiel|10:12  And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands,
 and their wings, and the wheels, [were] full of eyes round about, [even]
 the wheels that they four had.
   Ezekiel|10:13  As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O
 wheel.
   Ezekiel|10:14  And every one had four faces: the first face [was] the
 face of a cherub, and the second face [was] the face of a man, and the
 third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
   Ezekiel|10:15  And the cherubims were lifted up. This [is] the living
 creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
   Ezekiel|10:16  And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and
 when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the
 same wheels also turned not from beside them.
   Ezekiel|10:17  When they stood, [these] stood; and when they were lifted
 up, [these] lifted up themselves [also]: for the spirit of the living

 creature [was] in them.
   Ezekiel|10:18  Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold
 of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
   Ezekiel|10:19  And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up
 from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also [were]
 beside them, and [every one] stood at the door of the east gate of the
 LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.
   Ezekiel|10:20  This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of
 Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they [were] the cherubims.
   Ezekiel|10:21  Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings;
 and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.
   Ezekiel|10:22  And the likeness of their faces [was] the same faces which
 I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went
 every one straight forward.
   Ezekiel|11:1  Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the
 east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the
 door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of
 Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
   Ezekiel|11:2  Then said he unto me, Son of man, these [are] the men that
 devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
   Ezekiel|11:3  Which say, [It is] not near; let us build houses: this

 [city is] the caldron, and we [be] the flesh.
   Ezekiel|11:4  Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
   Ezekiel|11:5  And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me,
 Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I
 know the things that come into your mind, [every one of] them.
   Ezekiel|11:6  Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have
 filled the streets thereof with the slain.
   Ezekiel|11:7  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have
 laid in the midst of it, they [are] the flesh, and this [city is] the
 caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
   Ezekiel|11:8  Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon
 you, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|11:9  And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver
 you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
   Ezekiel|11:10  Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border
 of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|11:11  This [city] shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be
 the flesh in the midst thereof; [but] I will judge you in the border of
 Israel:
   Ezekiel|11:12  And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD: for ye have not
 walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after

 the manners of the heathen that [are] round about you.
   Ezekiel|11:13  And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the
 son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud
 voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of
 Israel?
   Ezekiel|11:14  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|11:15  Son of man, thy brethren, [even] thy brethren, the men of
 thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, [are] they unto whom the
 inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is
 this land given in possession.
   Ezekiel|11:16  Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have
 cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them
 among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the
 countries where they shall come.
   Ezekiel|11:17  Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather
 you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have
 been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
   Ezekiel|11:18  And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all
 the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
   Ezekiel|11:19  And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new
 spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and

 will give them an heart of flesh:
   Ezekiel|11:20  That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine
 ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their
 God.
   Ezekiel|11:21  But [as for them] whose heart walketh after the heart of
 their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way
 upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|11:22  Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels
 beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them above.
   Ezekiel|11:23  And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the
 city, and stood upon the mountain which [is] on the east side of the city.
   Ezekiel|11:24  Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a
 vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the
 vision that I had seen went up from me.
   Ezekiel|11:25  Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things
 that the LORD had showed me.
   Ezekiel|12:1  The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|12:2  Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious
 house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and
 hear not: for they [are] a rebellious house.
   Ezekiel|12:3  Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for

 removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy
 place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though
 they [be] a rebellious house.
   Ezekiel|12:4  Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their
 sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their
 sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
   Ezekiel|12:5  Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out
 thereby.
   Ezekiel|12:6  In their sight shalt thou bear [it] upon [thy] shoulders,
 [and] carry [it] forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that
 thou see not the ground: for I have set thee [for] a sign unto the house of
 Israel.
   Ezekiel|12:7  And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff
 by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall
 with mine hand; I brought [it] forth in the twilight, [and] I bare [it]
 upon [my] shoulder in their sight.
   Ezekiel|12:8  And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me,
 saying,
   Ezekiel|12:9  Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious
 house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
   Ezekiel|12:10  Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden

 [concerneth] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that
 [are] among them.
   Ezekiel|12:11  Say, I [am] your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be
 done unto them: they shall remove [and] go into captivity.
   Ezekiel|12:12  And the prince that [is] among them shall bear upon [his]
 shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the
 wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the
 ground with [his] eyes.
   Ezekiel|12:13  My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken
 in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon [to] the land of the
 Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
   Ezekiel|12:14  And I will scatter toward every wind all that [are] about
 him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after
 them.
   Ezekiel|12:15  And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall
 scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
   Ezekiel|12:16  But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from
 the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their
 abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that
 I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|12:17  Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

   Ezekiel|12:18  Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy
 water with trembling and with carefulness;
   Ezekiel|12:19  And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord
 GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] of the land of Israel; They
 shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with
 astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein,
 because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
   Ezekiel|12:20  And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and
 the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|12:21  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|12:22  Son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the
 land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
   Ezekiel|12:23  Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make
 this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in
 Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every
 vision.
   Ezekiel|12:24  For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering
 divination within the house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|12:25  For I [am] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I
 shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your
 days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith

 the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|12:26  Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
   Ezekiel|12:27  Son of man, behold, [they of] the house of Israel say, The
 vision that he seeth [is] for many days [to come], and he prophesieth of
 the times [that are] far off.
   Ezekiel|12:28  Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There
 shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have
 spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|13:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|13:2  Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that
 prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts,
 Hear ye the word of the LORD;
   Ezekiel|13:3  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets,
 that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
   Ezekiel|13:4  O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
   Ezekiel|13:5  Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the
 hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the
 LORD.
   Ezekiel|13:6  They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The
 LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to
 hope that they would confirm the word.

   Ezekiel|13:7  Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a
 lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it]; albeit I have not
 spoken?
   Ezekiel|13:8  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken
 vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the
 Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|13:9  And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity,
 and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people,
 neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel,
 neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I
 [am] the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|13:10  Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying,
 Peace; and [there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others
 daubed it with untempered [mortar]:
   Ezekiel|13:11  Say unto them which daub [it] with untempered [mortar],
 that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great
 hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it].
   Ezekiel|13:12  Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto
 you, Where [is] the daubing wherewith ye have daubed [it]?
   Ezekiel|13:13  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend [it]
 with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in

 mine anger, and great hailstones in [my] fury to consume [it].
   Ezekiel|13:14  So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with
 untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that the
 foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be
 consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|13:15  Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon
 them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar], and will say unto you,
 The wall [is] no [more], neither they that daubed it;
   Ezekiel|13:16  [To wit], the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning
 Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and [there is] no peace,
 saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|13:17  Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the
 daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and
 prophesy thou against them,
   Ezekiel|13:18  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the [women] that
 sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every
 stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye
 save the souls alive [that come] unto you?
   Ezekiel|13:19  And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of
 barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and
 to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people

 that hear [your] lies?
   Ezekiel|13:20  Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against
 your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make [them] fly, and I
 will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, [even] the souls
 that ye hunt to make [them] fly.
   Ezekiel|13:21  Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out
 of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye
 shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|13:22  Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous
 sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked,
 that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
   Ezekiel|13:23  Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine
 divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall
 know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|14:1  Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat
 before me.
   Ezekiel|14:2  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|14:3  Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their
 heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face:
 should I be inquired of at all by them?
   Ezekiel|14:4  Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith

 the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in
 his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face,
 and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according
 to the multitude of his idols;
   Ezekiel|14:5  That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart,
 because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
   Ezekiel|14:6  Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord
 GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and turn away your
 faces from all your abominations.
   Ezekiel|14:7  For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger
 that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up
 his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity
 before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I
 the LORD will answer him by myself:
   Ezekiel|14:8  And I will set my face against that man, and will make him
 a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people;
 and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|14:9  And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing,
 I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon
 him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
   Ezekiel|14:10  And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the

 punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that
 seeketh [unto him];
   Ezekiel|14:11  That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me,
 neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they
 may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|14:12  The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
   Ezekiel|14:13  Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by
 trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will
 break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and
 will cut off man and beast from it:
   Ezekiel|14:14  Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it,
 they should deliver [but] their own souls by their righteousness, saith the
 Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|14:15  If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and
 they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because
 of the beasts:
   Ezekiel|14:16  [Though] these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith
 the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only
 shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
   Ezekiel|14:17  Or [if] I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go
 through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:

   Ezekiel|14:18  Though these three men [were] in it, [as] I live, saith
 the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only
 shall be delivered themselves.
   Ezekiel|14:19  Or [if] I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out
 my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
   Ezekiel|14:20  Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, [were] in it, [as] I live,
 saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall
 [but] deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
   Ezekiel|14:21  For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my
 four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the
 noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
   Ezekiel|14:22  Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be
 brought forth, [both] sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth
 unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be
 comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, [even]
 concerning all that I have brought upon it.
   Ezekiel|14:23  And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and
 their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that
 I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|15:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|15:2  Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, [or

 than] a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
   Ezekiel|15:3  Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will [men]
 take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
   Ezekiel|15:4  Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire
 devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet
 for [any] work?
   Ezekiel|15:5  Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how
 much less shall it be meet yet for [any] work, when the fire hath devoured
 it, and it is burned?
   Ezekiel|15:6  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among
 the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I
 give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
   Ezekiel|15:7  And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from
 [one] fire, and [another] fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I
 [am] the LORD, when I set my face against them.
   Ezekiel|15:8  And I will make the land desolate, because they have
 committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|16:1  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|16:2  Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
   Ezekiel|16:3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth
 and thy nativity [is] of the land of Canaan; thy father [was] an Amorite,

 and thy mother an Hittite.
   Ezekiel|16:4  And [as for] thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy
 navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple [thee]; thou
 wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
   Ezekiel|16:5  None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have
 compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the
 loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
   Ezekiel|16:6  And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine
 own blood, I said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live; yea, I
 said unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood, Live.
   Ezekiel|16:7  I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and
 thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent
 ornaments: [thy] breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas
 thou [wast] naked and bare.
   Ezekiel|16:8  Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold,
 thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and
 covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant
 with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
   Ezekiel|16:9  Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed
 away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
   Ezekiel|16:10  I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee

 with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered
 thee with silk.
   Ezekiel|16:11  I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets
 upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
   Ezekiel|16:12  And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine
 ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
   Ezekiel|16:13  Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy
 raiment [was of] fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat
 fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou
 didst prosper into a kingdom.
   Ezekiel|16:14  And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy
 beauty: for it [was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon
 thee, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|16:15  But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the
 harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every
 one that passed by; his it was.
   Ezekiel|16:16  And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high
 places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: [the like
 things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].
   Ezekiel|16:17  Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my
 silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and

 didst commit whoredom with them,
   Ezekiel|16:18  And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them:
 and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
   Ezekiel|16:19  My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and
 honey, [wherewith] I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a
 sweet savour: and [thus] it was, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|16:20  Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom
 thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be
 devoured. [Is this] of thy whoredoms a small matter,
   Ezekiel|16:21  That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to
 cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?
   Ezekiel|16:22  And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast
 not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, [and]
 wast polluted in thy blood.
   Ezekiel|16:23  And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe
 unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;)
   Ezekiel|16:24  [That] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place,
 and hast made thee an high place in every street.
   Ezekiel|16:25  Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way,
 and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every
 one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

   Ezekiel|16:26  Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians
 thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to
 provoke me to anger.
   Ezekiel|16:27  Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee,
 and have diminished thine ordinary [food], and delivered thee unto the will
 of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed
 of thy lewd way.
   Ezekiel|16:28  Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians,
 because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them,
 and yet couldest not be satisfied.
   Ezekiel|16:29  Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land
 of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
   Ezekiel|16:30  How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou
 doest all these [things], the work of an imperious whorish woman;
   Ezekiel|16:31  In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of
 every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been
 as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
   Ezekiel|16:32  [But as] a wife that committeth adultery, [which] taketh
 strangers instead of her husband!
   Ezekiel|16:33  They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts
 to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every

 side for thy whoredom.
   Ezekiel|16:34  And the contrary is in thee from [other] women in thy
 whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that
 thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art
 contrary.
   Ezekiel|16:35  Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
   Ezekiel|16:36  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured
 out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers,
 and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy
 children, which thou didst give unto them;
   Ezekiel|16:37  Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom
 thou hast taken pleasure, and all [them] that thou hast loved, with all
 [them] that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against
 thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy
 nakedness.
   Ezekiel|16:38  And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and
 shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
   Ezekiel|16:39  And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall
 throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they
 shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and
 leave thee naked and bare.

   Ezekiel|16:40  They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they
 shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
   Ezekiel|16:41  And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute
 judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to
 cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
   Ezekiel|16:42  So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my
 jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more
 angry.
   Ezekiel|16:43  Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth,
 but hast fretted me in all these [things]; behold, therefore I also will
 recompense thy way upon [thine] head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt
 not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
   Ezekiel|16:44  Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use [this]
 proverb against thee, saying, As [is] the mother, [so is] her daughter.
   Ezekiel|16:45  Thou [art] thy mother's daughter, that loatheth her
 husband and her children; and thou [art] the sister of thy sisters, which
 loathed their husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hittite,
 and your father an Amorite.
   Ezekiel|16:46  And thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters
 that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy
 right hand, [is] Sodom and her daughters.

   Ezekiel|16:47  Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after
 their abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], thou wast
 corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
   Ezekiel|16:48  [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not
 done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
   Ezekiel|16:49  Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride,
 fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her
 daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
   Ezekiel|16:50  And they were haughty, and committed abomination before
 me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].
   Ezekiel|16:51  Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou
 hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy
 sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
   Ezekiel|16:52  Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own
 shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they
 are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy
 shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
   Ezekiel|16:53  When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of
 Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters,
 then [will I bring again] the captivity of thy captives in the midst of
 them:

   Ezekiel|16:54  That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be
 confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto
 them.
   Ezekiel|16:55  When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to
 their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their
 former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former
 estate.
   Ezekiel|16:56  For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the
 day of thy pride,
   Ezekiel|16:57  Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of
 [thy] reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all [that are] round about
 her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
   Ezekiel|16:58  Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith
 the LORD.
   Ezekiel|16:59  For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as
 thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
   Ezekiel|16:60  Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the
 days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
   Ezekiel|16:61  Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when
 thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will
 give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

   Ezekiel|16:62  And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt
 know that I [am] the LORD:
   Ezekiel|16:63  That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never
 open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward
 thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|17:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|17:2  Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto
 the house of Israel;
   Ezekiel|17:3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great
 wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto
 Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
   Ezekiel|17:4  He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it
 into a land of traffic; he set it in a city of merchants.
   Ezekiel|17:5  He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a
 fruitful field; he placed [it] by great waters, [and] set it [as] a willow
 tree.
   Ezekiel|17:6  And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature,
 whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so
 it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
   Ezekiel|17:7  There was also another great eagle with great wings and
 many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and

 shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows
 of her plantation.
   Ezekiel|17:8  It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it
 might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be
 a goodly vine.
   Ezekiel|17:9  Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall
 he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it
 wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great
 power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
   Ezekiel|17:10  Yea, behold, [being] planted, shall it prosper? shall it
 not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the
 furrows where it grew.
   Ezekiel|17:11  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|17:12  Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these
 [things mean]? tell [them], Behold, the king of Babylon is come to
 Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and
 led them with him to Babylon;
   Ezekiel|17:13  And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant
 with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of
 the land:
   Ezekiel|17:14  That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift

 itself up, [but] that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
   Ezekiel|17:15  But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors
 into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he
 prosper? shall he escape that doeth such [things]? or shall he break the
 covenant, and be delivered?
   Ezekiel|17:16  [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place
 [where] the king [dwelleth] that made him king, whose oath he despised, and
 whose covenant he brake, [even] with him in the midst of Babylon he shall
 die.
   Ezekiel|17:17  Neither shall Pharaoh with [his] mighty army and great
 company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts,
 to cut off many persons:
   Ezekiel|17:18  Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant,
 when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these [things], he shall
 not escape.
   Ezekiel|17:19  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I live, surely
 mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even
 it will I recompense upon his own head.
   Ezekiel|17:20  And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken
 in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there
 for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.

   Ezekiel|17:21  And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the
 sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye
 shall know that I the LORD have spoken [it].
   Ezekiel|17:22  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest
 branch of the high cedar, and will set [it]; I will crop off from the top
 of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant [it] upon an high mountain
 and eminent:
   Ezekiel|17:23  In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it:
 and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and
 under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches
 thereof shall they dwell.
   Ezekiel|17:24  And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD
 have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up
 the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have
 spoken and have done [it].
   Ezekiel|18:1  The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
   Ezekiel|18:2  What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land
 of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's
 teeth are set on edge?
   Ezekiel|18:3  [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have
 [occasion] any more to use this proverb in Israel.

   Ezekiel|18:4  Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so
 also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
   Ezekiel|18:5  But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and
 right,
   Ezekiel|18:6  [And] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath
 lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath
 defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,
   Ezekiel|18:7  And hath not oppressed any, [but] hath restored to the
 debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to
 the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
   Ezekiel|18:8  He [that] hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath
 taken any increase, [that] hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath
 executed true judgment between man and man,
   Ezekiel|18:9  Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to
 deal truly; he [is] just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|18:10  If he beget a son [that is] a robber, a shedder of blood,
 and [that] doeth the like to [any] one of these [things],
   Ezekiel|18:11  And that doeth not any of those [duties], but even hath
 eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
   Ezekiel|18:12  Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by
 violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the

 idols, hath committed abomination,
   Ezekiel|18:13  Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase:
 shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations;
 he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
   Ezekiel|18:14  Now, lo, [if] he beget a son, that seeth all his father's
 sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
   Ezekiel|18:15  [That] hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath
 lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled
 his neighbour's wife,
   Ezekiel|18:16  Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the
 pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, [but] hath given his bread to the
 hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
   Ezekiel|18:17  [That] hath taken off his hand from the poor, [that] hath
 not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in
 my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall
 surely live.
   Ezekiel|18:18  [As for] his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled
 his brother by violence, and did [that] which [is] not good among his
 people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
   Ezekiel|18:19  Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the
 father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, [and] hath

 kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
   Ezekiel|18:20  The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not
 bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity
 of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the
 wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
   Ezekiel|18:21  But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath
 committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right,
 he shall surely live, he shall not die.
   Ezekiel|18:22  All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall
 not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall
 live.
   Ezekiel|18:23  Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?
 saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and
 live?
   Ezekiel|18:24  But when the righteous turneth away from his
 righteousness, and committeth iniquity, [and] doeth according to all the
 abominations that the wicked [man] doeth, shall he live? All his
 righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass
 that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall
 he die.
   Ezekiel|18:25  Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O

 house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
   Ezekiel|18:26  When a righteous [man] turneth away from his
 righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity
 that he hath done shall he die.
   Ezekiel|18:27  Again, when the wicked [man] turneth away from his
 wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and
 right, he shall save his soul alive.
   Ezekiel|18:28  Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his
 transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not
 die.
   Ezekiel|18:29  Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not
 equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
   Ezekiel|18:30  Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one
 according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn [yourselves]
 from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
   Ezekiel|18:31  Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye
 have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will
 ye die, O house of Israel?
   Ezekiel|18:32  For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth,
 saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn [yourselves], and live ye.
   Ezekiel|19:1  Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of

 Israel,
   Ezekiel|19:2  And say, What [is] thy mother? A lioness: she lay down
 among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
   Ezekiel|19:3  And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young
 lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
   Ezekiel|19:4  The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit,
 and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
   Ezekiel|19:5  Now when she saw that she had waited, [and] her hope was
 lost, then she took another of her whelps, [and] made him a young lion.
   Ezekiel|19:6  And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young
 lion, and learned to catch the prey, [and] devoured men.
   Ezekiel|19:7  And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their
 cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of
 his roaring.
   Ezekiel|19:8  Then the nations set against him on every side from the
 provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
   Ezekiel|19:9  And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the
 king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more
 be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
   Ezekiel|19:10  Thy mother [is] like a vine in thy blood, planted by the
 waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.

   Ezekiel|19:11  And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare
 rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she
 appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
   Ezekiel|19:12  But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the
 ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken
 and withered; the fire consumed them.
   Ezekiel|19:13  And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a dry and
 thirsty ground.
   Ezekiel|19:14  And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, [which]
 hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod [to be] a sceptre
 to rule. This [is] a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
   Ezekiel|20:1  And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth
 [month], the tenth [day] of the month, [that] certain of the elders of
 Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
   Ezekiel|20:2  Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|20:3  Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto
 them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to inquire of me? [As] I live,
 saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
   Ezekiel|20:4  Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge [them]?
 cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
   Ezekiel|20:5  And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when

 I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of
 Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted
 up mine hand unto them, saying, I [am] the LORD your God;
   Ezekiel|20:6  In the day [that] I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring
 them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them,
 flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands:
   Ezekiel|20:7  Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the
 abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of
 Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.
   Ezekiel|20:8  But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto
 me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes,
 neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out
 my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the
 land of Egypt.
   Ezekiel|20:9  But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be
 polluted before the heathen, among whom they [were], in whose sight I made
 myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
   Ezekiel|20:10  Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of
 Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
   Ezekiel|20:11  And I gave them my statutes, and showed them my judgments,
 which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them.

   Ezekiel|20:12  Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign
 between me and them, that they might know that I [am] the LORD that
 sanctify them.
   Ezekiel|20:13  But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the
 wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments,
 which [if] a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they
 greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the
 wilderness, to consume them.
   Ezekiel|20:14  But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be
 polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
   Ezekiel|20:15  Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness,
 that I would not bring them into the land which I had given [them], flowing
 with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all lands;
   Ezekiel|20:16  Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my
 statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
   Ezekiel|20:17  Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them,
 neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
   Ezekiel|20:18  But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye
 not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor
 defile yourselves with their idols:
   Ezekiel|20:19  I [am] the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my

 judgments, and do them;
   Ezekiel|20:20  And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between
 me and you, that ye may know that I [am] the LORD your God.
   Ezekiel|20:21  Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they
 walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which [if]
 a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I
 said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against
 them in the wilderness.
   Ezekiel|20:22  Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my
 name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in
 whose sight I brought them forth.
   Ezekiel|20:23  I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness,
 that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the
 countries;
   Ezekiel|20:24  Because they had not executed my judgments, but had
 despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were
 after their fathers' idols.
   Ezekiel|20:25  Wherefore I gave them also statutes [that were] not good,
 and judgments whereby they should not live;
   Ezekiel|20:26  And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they
 caused to pass through [the fire] all that openeth the womb, that I might

 make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|20:27  Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and
 say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have
 blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
   Ezekiel|20:28  [For] when I had brought them into the land, [for] the
 which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high
 hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and
 there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they
 made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
   Ezekiel|20:29  Then I said unto them, What [is] the high place whereunto
 ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
   Ezekiel|20:30  Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the
 Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye
 whoredom after their abominations?
   Ezekiel|20:31  For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to
 pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto
 this day: and shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? [As] I
 live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be inquired of by you.
   Ezekiel|20:32  And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all,
 that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries,
 to serve wood and stone.

   Ezekiel|20:33  [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty
 hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule
 over you:
   Ezekiel|20:34  And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather
 you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and
 with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
   Ezekiel|20:35  And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people,
 and there will I plead with you face to face.
   Ezekiel|20:36  Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of
 the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|20:37  And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will
 bring you into the bond of the covenant:
   Ezekiel|20:38  And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them
 that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country
 where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and
 ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|20:39  As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go
 ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter [also], if ye will not
 hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and
 with your idols.
   Ezekiel|20:40  For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height

 of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of
 them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I
 require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all
 your holy things.
   Ezekiel|20:41  I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you
 out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have
 been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
   Ezekiel|20:42  And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall bring
 you into the land of Israel, into the country [for] the which I lifted up
 mine hand to give it to your fathers.
   Ezekiel|20:43  And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your
 doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall loathe yourselves in
 your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
   Ezekiel|20:44  And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have
 wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor
 according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|20:45  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|20:46  Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop [thy
 word] toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
   Ezekiel|20:47  And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the
 LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it

 shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming
 flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north
 shall be burned therein.
   Ezekiel|20:48  And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it:
 it shall not be quenched.
   Ezekiel|20:49  Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not
 speak parables?
   Ezekiel|21:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|21:2  Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop [thy
 word] toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
   Ezekiel|21:3  And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold,
 I [am] against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and
 will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
   Ezekiel|21:4  Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and
 the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all
 flesh from the south to the north:
   Ezekiel|21:5  That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my
 sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
   Ezekiel|21:6  Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of [thy]
 loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
   Ezekiel|21:7  And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest

 thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every
 heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall
 faint, and all knees shall be weak [as] water: behold, it cometh, and shall
 be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|21:8  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|21:9  Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A
 sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
   Ezekiel|21:10  It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished
 that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my
 son, [as] every tree.
   Ezekiel|21:11  And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be
 handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the
 hand of the slayer.
   Ezekiel|21:12  Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people,
 it [shall be] upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the
 sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon [thy] thigh.
   Ezekiel|21:13  Because [it is] a trial, and what if [the sword] contemn
 even the rod? it shall be no [more], saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|21:14  Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite [thine]
 hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of
 the slain: it [is] the sword of the great [men that are] slain, which

 entereth into their privy chambers.
   Ezekiel|21:15  I have set the point of the sword against all their gates,
 that [their] heart may faint, and [their] ruins be multiplied: ah! [it is]
 made bright, [it is] wrapped up for the slaughter.
   Ezekiel|21:16  Go thee one way or other, [either] on the right hand, [or]
 on the left, whithersoever thy face [is] set.
   Ezekiel|21:17  I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my
 fury to rest: I the LORD have said [it].
   Ezekiel|21:18  The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
   Ezekiel|21:19  Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the
 sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of
 one land: and choose thou a place, choose [it] at the head of the way to
 the city.
   Ezekiel|21:20  Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the
 Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
   Ezekiel|21:21  For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way,
 at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made [his] arrows
 bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
   Ezekiel|21:22  At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to
 appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice
 with shouting, to appoint [battering] rams against the gates, to cast a

 mount, [and] to build a fort.
   Ezekiel|21:23  And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their
 sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the
 iniquity, that they may be taken.
   Ezekiel|21:24  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made
 your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered,
 so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, [I say], that ye
 are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
   Ezekiel|21:25  And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is
 come, when iniquity [shall have] an end,
   Ezekiel|21:26  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off
 the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low, and
 abase [him that is] high.
   Ezekiel|21:27  I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be
 no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
   Ezekiel|21:28  And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the
 Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say
 thou, The sword, the sword [is] drawn: for the slaughter [it is] furbished,
 to consume because of the glittering:
   Ezekiel|21:29  Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie
 unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of [them that are] slain, of the

 wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity [shall have] an end.
   Ezekiel|21:30  Shall I cause [it] to return into his sheath? I will judge
 thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.
   Ezekiel|21:31  And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will
 blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand
 of brutish men, [and] skilful to destroy.
   Ezekiel|21:32  Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in
 the midst of the land; thou shalt be no [more] remembered: for I the LORD
 have spoken [it].
   Ezekiel|22:1  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|22:2  Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the
 bloody city? yea, thou shalt show her all her abominations.
   Ezekiel|22:3  Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth
 blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against
 herself to defile herself.
   Ezekiel|22:4  Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed;
 and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast
 caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore
 have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all
 countries.
   Ezekiel|22:5  [Those that be] near, and [those that be] far from thee,

 shall mock thee, [which art] infamous [and] much vexed.
   Ezekiel|22:6  Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to
 their power to shed blood.
   Ezekiel|22:7  In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the
 midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have
 they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
   Ezekiel|22:8  Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my
 sabbaths.
   Ezekiel|22:9  In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee
 they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
   Ezekiel|22:10  In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in
 thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
   Ezekiel|22:11  And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's
 wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in
 thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
   Ezekiel|22:12  In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast
 taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours
 by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|22:13  Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy
 dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in
 the midst of thee.

   Ezekiel|22:14  Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in
 the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken [it], and will
 do [it].
   Ezekiel|22:15  And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse
 thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
   Ezekiel|22:16  And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the
 sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|22:17  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|22:18  Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all
 they [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace;
 they are [even] the dross of silver.
   Ezekiel|22:19  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all
 become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of
 Jerusalem.
   Ezekiel|22:20  [As] they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead,
 and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt
 [it]; so will I gather [you] in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave
 [you there], and melt you.
   Ezekiel|22:21  Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of
 my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
   Ezekiel|22:22  As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall

 ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have
 poured out my fury upon you.
   Ezekiel|22:23  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|22:24  Son of man, say unto her, Thou [art] the land that is not
 cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
   Ezekiel|22:25  [There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst
 thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls;
 they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many
 widows in the midst thereof.
   Ezekiel|22:26  Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine
 holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane,
 neither have they showed [difference] between the unclean and the clean,
 and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
   Ezekiel|22:27  Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves
 ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest
 gain.
   Ezekiel|22:28  And her prophets have daubed them with untempered
 [mortar], seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith
 the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
   Ezekiel|22:29  The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised
 robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the

 stranger wrongfully.
   Ezekiel|22:30  And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the
 hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not
 destroy it: but I found none.
   Ezekiel|22:31  Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I
 have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I
 recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|23:1  The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|23:2  Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one
 mother:
   Ezekiel|23:3  And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed
 whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they
 bruised the teats of their virginity.
   Ezekiel|23:4  And the names of them [were] Aholah the elder, and Aholibah
 her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus
 [were] their names; Samaria [is] Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
   Ezekiel|23:5  And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she
 doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
   Ezekiel|23:6  [Which were] clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of
 them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
   Ezekiel|23:7  Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them

 [that were] the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with
 all their idols she defiled herself.
   Ezekiel|23:8  Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt: for in
 her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity,
 and poured their whoredom upon her.
   Ezekiel|23:9  Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers,
 into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
   Ezekiel|23:10  These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her
 daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women;
 for they had executed judgment upon her.
   Ezekiel|23:11  And when her sister Aholibah saw [this], she was more
 corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her
 sister in [her] whoredoms.
   Ezekiel|23:12  She doted upon the Assyrians [her] neighbours, captains
 and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of
 them desirable young men.
   Ezekiel|23:13  Then I saw that she was defiled, [that] they [took] both
 one way,
   Ezekiel|23:14  And [that] she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw
 men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with
 vermilion,

   Ezekiel|23:15  Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed
 attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner
 of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
   Ezekiel|23:16  And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon
 them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
   Ezekiel|23:17  And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and
 they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and
 her mind was alienated from them.
   Ezekiel|23:18  So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her
 nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was
 alienated from her sister.
   Ezekiel|23:19  Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to
 remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the
 land of Egypt.
   Ezekiel|23:20  For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh [is as]
 the flesh of asses, and whose issue [is like] the issue of horses.
   Ezekiel|23:21  Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy
 youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
   Ezekiel|23:22  Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
 will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and
 I will bring them against thee on every side;

   Ezekiel|23:23  The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa,
 and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young
 men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon
 horses.
   Ezekiel|23:24  And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons,
 and wheels, and with an assembly of people, [which] shall set against thee
 buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before
 them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
   Ezekiel|23:25  And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall
 deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and
 thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy
 daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
   Ezekiel|23:26  They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take
 away thy fair jewels.
   Ezekiel|23:27  Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy
 whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up
 thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
   Ezekiel|23:28  For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee
 into the hand [of them] whom thou hatest, into the hand [of them] from whom
 thy mind is alienated:
   Ezekiel|23:29  And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take

 away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness
 of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
   Ezekiel|23:30  I will do these [things] unto thee, because thou hast gone
 a whoring after the heathen, [and] because thou art polluted with their
 idols.
   Ezekiel|23:31  Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will
 I give her cup into thine hand.
   Ezekiel|23:32  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's
 cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it
 containeth much.
   Ezekiel|23:33  Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the
 cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
   Ezekiel|23:34  Thou shalt even drink it and suck [it] out, and thou shalt
 break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have
 spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|23:35  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast
 forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy
 lewdness and thy whoredoms.
   Ezekiel|23:36  The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou
 judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
   Ezekiel|23:37  That they have committed adultery, and blood [is] in their

 hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also
 caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through [the
 fire], to devour [them].
   Ezekiel|23:38  Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my
 sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
   Ezekiel|23:39  For when they had slain their children to their idols,
 then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus
 have they done in the midst of mine house.
   Ezekiel|23:40  And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from
 far, unto whom a messenger [was] sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou
 didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with
 ornaments,
   Ezekiel|23:41  And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before
 it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
   Ezekiel|23:42  And a voice of a multitude being at ease [was] with her:
 and with the men of the common sort [were] brought Sabeans from the
 wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon
 their heads.
   Ezekiel|23:43  Then said I unto [her that was] old in adulteries, Will
 they now commit whoredoms with her, and she [with them]?
   Ezekiel|23:44  Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that

 playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd
 women.
   Ezekiel|23:45  And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the
 manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood;
 because they [are] adulteresses, and blood [is] in their hands.
   Ezekiel|23:46  For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company
 upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
   Ezekiel|23:47  And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch
 them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and
 burn up their houses with fire.
   Ezekiel|23:48  Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that
 all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
   Ezekiel|23:49  And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye
 shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord
 GOD.
   Ezekiel|24:1  Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth
 [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|24:2  Son of man, write thee the name of the day, [even] of this
 same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
   Ezekiel|24:3  And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto
 them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set [it] on, and also pour

 water into it:
   Ezekiel|24:4  Gather the pieces thereof into it, [even] every good piece,
 the thigh, and the shoulder; fill [it] with the choice bones.
   Ezekiel|24:5  Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under
 it, [and] make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
   Ezekiel|24:6  Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city,
 to the pot whose scum [is] therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it!
 bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
   Ezekiel|24:7  For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the
 top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
   Ezekiel|24:8  That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I
 have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
   Ezekiel|24:9  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city!
 I will even make the pile for fire great.
   Ezekiel|24:10  Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and
 spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
   Ezekiel|24:11  Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass
 of it may be hot, and may burn, and [that] the filthiness of it may be
 molten in it, [that] the scum of it may be consumed.
   Ezekiel|24:12  She hath wearied [herself] with lies, and her great scum
 went not forth out of her: her scum [shall be] in the fire.

   Ezekiel|24:13  In thy filthiness [is] lewdness: because I have purged
 thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy
 filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
   Ezekiel|24:14  I the LORD have spoken [it]: it shall come to pass, and I
 will do [it]; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I
 repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they
 judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|24:15  Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|24:16  Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of
 thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither
 shall thy tears run down.
   Ezekiel|24:17  Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the
 tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover
 not [thy] lips, and eat not the bread of men.
   Ezekiel|24:18  So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my
 wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
   Ezekiel|24:19  And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what
 these [things are] to us, that thou doest [so]?
   Ezekiel|24:20  Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me,
 saying,
   Ezekiel|24:21  Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD;

 Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the
 desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and
 your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
   Ezekiel|24:22  And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover [your]
 lips, nor eat the bread of men.
   Ezekiel|24:23  And your tires [shall be] upon your heads, and your shoes
 upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for
 your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
   Ezekiel|24:24  Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he
 hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I [am] the
 Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|24:25  Also, thou son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when
 I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of
 their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their
 daughters,
   Ezekiel|24:26  [That] he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee,
 to cause [thee] to hear [it] with [thine] ears?
   Ezekiel|24:27  In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is
 escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a
 sign unto them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|25:1  The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

   Ezekiel|25:2  Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and
 prophesy against them;
   Ezekiel|25:3  And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD;
 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary,
 when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate;
 and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
   Ezekiel|25:4  Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the
 east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make
 their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy
 milk.
   Ezekiel|25:5  And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the
 Ammonites a couchingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I [am] the
 LORD.
   Ezekiel|25:6  For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped
 [thine] hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all
 thy despite against the land of Israel;
   Ezekiel|25:7  Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee,
 and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off
 from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I
 will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|25:8  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say,

 Behold, the house of Judah [is] like unto all the heathen;
   Ezekiel|25:9  Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the
 cities, from his cities [which are] on his frontiers, the glory of the
 country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,
   Ezekiel|25:10  Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give
 them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the
 nations.
   Ezekiel|25:11  And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall
 know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|25:12  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt
 against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended,
 and revenged himself upon them;
   Ezekiel|25:13  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out
 mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will
 make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
   Ezekiel|25:14  And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my
 people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and
 according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|25:15  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have
 dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to
 destroy [it] for the old hatred;

   Ezekiel|25:16  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch
 out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and
 destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
   Ezekiel|25:17  And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious
 rebukes; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall lay my
 vengeance upon them.
   Ezekiel|26:1  And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first
 [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|26:2  Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem,
 Aha, she is broken [that was] the gates of the people: she is turned unto
 me: I shall be replenished, [now] she is laid waste:
   Ezekiel|26:3  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against
 thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the
 sea causeth his waves to come up.
   Ezekiel|26:4  And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down
 her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top
 of a rock.
   Ezekiel|26:5  It shall be [a place for] the spreading of nets in the
 midst of the sea: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD: and it shall
 become a spoil to the nations.
   Ezekiel|26:6  And her daughters which [are] in the field shall be slain

 by the sword; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|26:7  For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon
 Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with
 horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much
 people.
   Ezekiel|26:8  He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field:
 and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and
 lift up the buckler against thee.
   Ezekiel|26:9  And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with
 his axes he shall break down thy towers.
   Ezekiel|26:10  By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall
 cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the
 wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men
 enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
   Ezekiel|26:11  With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy
 streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons
 shall go down to the ground.
   Ezekiel|26:12  And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey
 of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy
 pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust
 in the midst of the water.

   Ezekiel|26:13  And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the
 sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
   Ezekiel|26:14  And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be
 [a place] to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD
 have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|26:15  Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles
 shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is
 made in the midst of thee?
   Ezekiel|26:16  Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their
 thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments:
 they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the
 ground, and shall tremble at [every] moment, and be astonished at thee.
   Ezekiel|26:17  And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to
 thee, How art thou destroyed, [that wast] inhabited of seafaring men, the
 renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which
 cause their terror [to be] on all that haunt it!
   Ezekiel|26:18  Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea,
 the isles that [are] in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
   Ezekiel|26:19  For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a
 desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring
 up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;

   Ezekiel|26:20  When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into
 the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts
 of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit,
 that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the
 living;
   Ezekiel|26:21  I will make thee a terror, and thou [shalt be] no [more]:
 though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the
 Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|27:1  The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|27:2  Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
   Ezekiel|27:3  And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of
 the sea, [which art] a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith
 the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I [am] of perfect beauty.
   Ezekiel|27:4  Thy borders [are] in the midst of the seas, thy builders
 have perfected thy beauty.
   Ezekiel|27:5  They have made all thy [ship] boards of fir trees of Senir:
 they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
   Ezekiel|27:6  [Of] the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the
 company of the Ashurites have made thy benches [of] ivory, [brought] out of
 the isles of Chittim.
   Ezekiel|27:7  Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which

 thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of
 Elishah was that which covered thee.
   Ezekiel|27:8  The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy
 wise [men], O Tyrus, [that] were in thee, were thy pilots.
   Ezekiel|27:9  The ancients of Gebal and the wise [men] thereof were in
 thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee
 to occupy thy merchandise.
   Ezekiel|27:10  They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army,
 thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth
 thy comeliness.
   Ezekiel|27:11  The men of Arvad with thine army [were] upon thy walls
 round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their
 shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
   Ezekiel|27:12  Tarshish [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude of
 all [kind of] riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy
 fairs.
   Ezekiel|27:13  Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they [were] thy merchants: they
 traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
   Ezekiel|27:14  They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with
 horses and horsemen and mules.
   Ezekiel|27:15  The men of Dedan [were] thy merchants; many isles [were]

 the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee [for] a present horns of
 ivory and ebony.
   Ezekiel|27:16  Syria [was] thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the
 wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and
 broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
   Ezekiel|27:17  Judah, and the land of Israel, they [were] thy merchants:
 they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil,
 and balm.
   Ezekiel|27:18  Damascus [was] thy merchant in the multitude of the wares
 of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and
 white wool.
   Ezekiel|27:19  Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs:
 bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
   Ezekiel|27:20  Dedan [was] thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
   Ezekiel|27:21  Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with
 thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these [were they] thy merchants.
   Ezekiel|27:22  The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they [were] thy
 merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with
 all precious stones, and gold.
   Ezekiel|27:23  Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba,
 Asshur, [and] Chilmad, [were] thy merchants.

   Ezekiel|27:24  These [were] thy merchants in all sorts [of things], in
 blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with
 cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
   Ezekiel|27:25  The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and
 thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
   Ezekiel|27:26  Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east
 wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
   Ezekiel|27:27  Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners,
 and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all
 thy men of war, that [are] in thee, and in all thy company which [is] in
 the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy
 ruin.
   Ezekiel|27:28  The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy
 pilots.
   Ezekiel|27:29  And all that handle the oar, the mariners, [and] all the
 pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon
 the land;
   Ezekiel|27:30  And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and
 shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall
 wallow themselves in the ashes:
   Ezekiel|27:31  And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and

 gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of
 heart [and] bitter wailing.
   Ezekiel|27:32  And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for
 thee, and lament over thee, [saying], What [city is] like Tyrus, like the
 destroyed in the midst of the sea?
   Ezekiel|27:33  When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst
 many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of
 thy riches and of thy merchandise.
   Ezekiel|27:34  In the time [when] thou shalt be broken by the seas in the
 depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of
 thee shall fall.
   Ezekiel|27:35  All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at
 thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in
 [their] countenance.
   Ezekiel|27:36  The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou
 shalt be a terror, and never [shalt be] any more.
   Ezekiel|28:1  The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|28:2  Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the
 Lord GOD; Because thine heart [is] lifted up, and thou hast said, I [am] a
 God, I sit [in] the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou [art] a
 man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

   Ezekiel|28:3  Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret
 that they can hide from thee:
   Ezekiel|28:4  With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast
 gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
   Ezekiel|28:5  By thy great wisdom [and] by thy traffic hast thou
 increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
   Ezekiel|28:6  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set
 thine heart as the heart of God;
   Ezekiel|28:7  Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the
 terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the
 beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
   Ezekiel|28:8  They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die
 the deaths of [them that are] slain in the midst of the seas.
   Ezekiel|28:9  Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] God?
 but thou [shalt be] a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth
 thee.
   Ezekiel|28:10  Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand
 of strangers: for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|28:11  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|28:12  Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus,
 and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of

 wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
   Ezekiel|28:13  Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious
 stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl,
 the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and
 gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee
 in the day that thou wast created.
   Ezekiel|28:14  Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have
 set thee [so]: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up
 and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
   Ezekiel|28:15  Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou
 wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
   Ezekiel|28:16  By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the
 midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast
 thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O
 covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
   Ezekiel|28:17  Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast
 corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the
 ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
   Ezekiel|28:18  Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of
 thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring
 forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring

 thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
   Ezekiel|28:19  All they that know thee among the people shall be
 astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any
 more.
   Ezekiel|28:20  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|28:21  Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy
 against it,
   Ezekiel|28:22  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against
 thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall
 know that I [am] the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and
 shall be sanctified in her.
   Ezekiel|28:23  For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her
 streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword
 upon her on every side; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|28:24  And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house
 of Israel, nor [any] grieving thorn of all [that are] round about them,
 that despised them; and they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|28:25  Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the
 house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be
 sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in
 their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.

   Ezekiel|28:26  And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build
 houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I
 have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them;
 and they shall know that I [am] the LORD their God.
   Ezekiel|29:1  In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth
 [day] of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|29:2  Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and
 prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
   Ezekiel|29:3  Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am]
 against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the
 midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river [is] mine own, and I have
 made [it] for myself.
   Ezekiel|29:4  But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish
 of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the
 midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy
 scales.
   Ezekiel|29:5  And I will leave thee [thrown] into the wilderness, thee
 and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou
 shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to
 the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
   Ezekiel|29:6  And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I [am] the

 LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|29:7  When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break,
 and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest,
 and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
   Ezekiel|29:8  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a
 sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
   Ezekiel|29:9  And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they
 shall know that I [am] the LORD: because he hath said, The river [is] mine,
 and I have made [it].
   Ezekiel|29:10  Behold, therefore I [am] against thee, and against thy
 rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste [and] desolate,
 from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
   Ezekiel|29:11  No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast
 shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
   Ezekiel|29:12  And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of
 the countries [that are] desolate, and her cities among the cities [that
 are] laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the
 Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
   Ezekiel|29:13  Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years
 will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
   Ezekiel|29:14  And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will

 cause them to return [into] the land of Pathros, into the land of their
 habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
   Ezekiel|29:15  It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it
 exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that
 they shall no more rule over the nations.
   Ezekiel|29:16  And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of
 Israel, which bringeth [their] iniquity to remembrance, when they shall
 look after them: but they shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|29:17  And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in
 the first [month], in the first [day] of the month, the word of the LORD
 came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|29:18  Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army
 to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head [was] made bald, and
 every shoulder [was] peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus,
 for the service that he had served against it:
   Ezekiel|29:19  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the
 land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her
 multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages
 for his army.
   Ezekiel|29:20  I have given him the land of Egypt [for] his labour
 wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord

 GOD.
   Ezekiel|29:21  In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel
 to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of
 them; and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|30:1  The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|30:2  Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl
 ye, Woe worth the day!
   Ezekiel|30:3  For the day [is] near, even the day of the LORD [is] near,
 a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
   Ezekiel|30:4  And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall
 be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take
 away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
   Ezekiel|30:5  Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people,
 and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them
 by the sword.
   Ezekiel|30:6  Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall
 fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene
 shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|30:7  And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries
 [that are] desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities
 [that are] wasted.

   Ezekiel|30:8  And they shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have set a
 fire in Egypt, and [when] all her helpers shall be destroyed.
   Ezekiel|30:9  In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to
 make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them,
 as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
   Ezekiel|30:10  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of
 Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
   Ezekiel|30:11  He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations,
 shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords
 against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
   Ezekiel|30:12  And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the
 hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is
 therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken [it].
   Ezekiel|30:13  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols,
 and I will cause [their] images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no
 more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of
 Egypt.
   Ezekiel|30:14  And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in
 Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
   Ezekiel|30:15  And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt;
 and I will cut off the multitude of No.

   Ezekiel|30:16  And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain,
 and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph [shall have] distresses daily.
   Ezekiel|30:17  The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the
 sword: and these [cities] shall go into captivity.
   Ezekiel|30:18  At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I
 shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall
 cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall
 go into captivity.
   Ezekiel|30:19  Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall
 know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|30:20  And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first
 [month], in the seventh [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD
 came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|30:21  Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of
 Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to
 bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
   Ezekiel|30:22  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against
 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which
 was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
   Ezekiel|30:23  And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and
 will disperse them through the countries.

   Ezekiel|30:24  And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and
 put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall
 groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded [man].
   Ezekiel|30:25  But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and
 the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I [am] the
 LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and
 he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
   Ezekiel|30:26  And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and
 disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I [am] the
 LORD.
   Ezekiel|31:1  And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third
 [month], in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came
 unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|31:2  Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his
 multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
   Ezekiel|31:3  Behold, the Assyrian [was] a cedar in Lebanon with fair
 branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top
 was among the thick boughs.
   Ezekiel|31:4  The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with
 her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers
 unto all the trees of the field.

   Ezekiel|31:5  Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the
 field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because
 of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
   Ezekiel|31:6  All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and
 under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young,
 and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
   Ezekiel|31:7  Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his
 branches: for his root was by great waters.
   Ezekiel|31:8  The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir
 trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his
 branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his
 beauty.
   Ezekiel|31:9  I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so
 that all the trees of Eden, that [were] in the garden of God, envied him.
   Ezekiel|31:10  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast
 lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick
 boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
   Ezekiel|31:11  I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty
 one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out
 for his wickedness.
   Ezekiel|31:12  And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him

 off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his
 branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the
 land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and
 have left him.
   Ezekiel|31:13  Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain,
 and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
   Ezekiel|31:14  To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt
 themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick
 boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water:
 for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in
 the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
   Ezekiel|31:15  Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to
 the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained
 the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon
 to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
   Ezekiel|31:16  I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when
 I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the
 trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall
 be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
   Ezekiel|31:17  They also went down into hell with him unto [them that be]
 slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his

 shadow in the midst of the heathen.
   Ezekiel|31:18  To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among
 the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden
 unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the
 uncircumcised with [them that be] slain by the sword. This [is] Pharaoh and
 all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|32:1  And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth
 month, in the first [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came
 unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|32:2  Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of
 Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and
 thou [art] as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers,
 and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
   Ezekiel|32:3  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net
 over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my
 net.
   Ezekiel|32:4  Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee
 forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to
 remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
   Ezekiel|32:5  And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the
 valleys with thy height.

   Ezekiel|32:6  I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou
 swimmest, [even] to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
   Ezekiel|32:7  And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and
 make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the
 moon shall not give her light.
   Ezekiel|32:8  All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee,
 and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|32:9  I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall
 bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast
 not known.
   Ezekiel|32:10  Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their
 kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword
 before them; and they shall tremble at [every] moment, every man for his
 own life, in the day of thy fall.
   Ezekiel|32:11  For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of
 Babylon shall come upon thee.
   Ezekiel|32:12  By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to
 fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the
 pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
   Ezekiel|32:13  I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the
 great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the

 hoofs of beasts trouble them.
   Ezekiel|32:14  Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers
 to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|32:15  When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the
 country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite
 all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|32:16  This [is] the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her:
 the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her,
 [even] for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|32:17  It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth
 [day] of the month, [that] the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|32:18  Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them
 down, [even] her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether
 parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
   Ezekiel|32:19  Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid
 with the uncircumcised.
   Ezekiel|32:20  They shall fall in the midst of [them that are] slain by
 the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
   Ezekiel|32:21  The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the
 midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie
 uncircumcised, slain by the sword.

   Ezekiel|32:22  Asshur [is] there and all her company: his graves [are]
 about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
   Ezekiel|32:23  Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her
 company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword,
 which caused terror in the land of the living.
   Ezekiel|32:24  There [is] Elam and all her multitude round about her
 grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down
 uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror
 in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that
 go down to the pit.
   Ezekiel|32:25  They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all
 her multitude: her graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised,
 slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the
 living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit:
 he is put in the midst of [them that be] slain.
   Ezekiel|32:26  There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her
 graves [are] round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the
 sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
   Ezekiel|32:27  And they shall not lie with the mighty [that are] fallen
 of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of
 war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their

 iniquities shall be upon their bones, though [they were] the terror of the
 mighty in the land of the living.
   Ezekiel|32:28  Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the
 uncircumcised, and shalt lie with [them that are] slain with the sword.
   Ezekiel|32:29  There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which
 with their might are laid by [them that were] slain by the sword: they
 shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
   Ezekiel|32:30  There [be] the princes of the north, all of them, and all
 the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they
 are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with [them that be]
 slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
   Ezekiel|32:31  Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all
 his multitude, [even] Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith
 the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|32:32  For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and
 he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with [them that are]
 slain with the sword, [even] Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord
 GOD.
   Ezekiel|33:1  Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|33:2  Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say
 unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land

 take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
   Ezekiel|33:3  If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the
 trumpet, and warn the people;
   Ezekiel|33:4  Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh
 not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon
 his own head.
   Ezekiel|33:5  He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning;
 his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his
 soul.
   Ezekiel|33:6  But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the
 trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take [any]
 person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood
 will I require at the watchman's hand.
   Ezekiel|33:7  So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the
 house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn
 them from me.
   Ezekiel|33:8  When I say unto the wicked, O wicked [man], thou shalt
 surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that
 wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at
 thine hand.
   Ezekiel|33:9  Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn

 from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but
 thou hast delivered thy soul.
   Ezekiel|33:10  Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of
 Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins [be] upon
 us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
   Ezekiel|33:11  Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no
 pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way
 and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O
 house of Israel?
   Ezekiel|33:12  Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy
 people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day
 of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not
 fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall
 the righteous be able to live for his [righteousness] in the day that he
 sinneth.
   Ezekiel|33:13  When I shall say to the righteous, [that] he shall surely
 live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his
 righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath
 committed, he shall die for it.
   Ezekiel|33:14  Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die;
 if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

   Ezekiel|33:15  [If] the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had
 robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall
 surely live, he shall not die.
   Ezekiel|33:16  None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned
 unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely
 live.
   Ezekiel|33:17  Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is
 not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
   Ezekiel|33:18  When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and
 committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
   Ezekiel|33:19  But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that
 which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
   Ezekiel|33:20  Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house
 of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
   Ezekiel|33:21  And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity,
 in the tenth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, [that] one that had
 escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
   Ezekiel|33:22  Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore
 he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in
 the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
   Ezekiel|33:23  Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

   Ezekiel|33:24  Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of
 Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we
 [are] many; the land is given us for inheritance.
   Ezekiel|33:25  Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat
 with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood:
 and shall ye possess the land?
   Ezekiel|33:26  Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye
 defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
   Ezekiel|33:27  Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; [As] I
 live, surely they that [are] in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him
 that [is] in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and
 they that [be] in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
   Ezekiel|33:28  For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her
 strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that
 none shall pass through.
   Ezekiel|33:29  Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD, when I have
 laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they
 have committed.
   Ezekiel|33:30  Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still
 are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and
 speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you,

 and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
   Ezekiel|33:31  And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit
 before thee [as] my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do
 them: for with their mouth they show much love, [but] their heart goeth
 after their covetousness.
   Ezekiel|33:32  And, lo, thou [art] unto them as a very lovely song of one
 that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they
 hear thy words, but they do them not.
   Ezekiel|33:33  And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then
 shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
   Ezekiel|34:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|34:2  Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel,
 prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds;
 Woe [be] to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the
 shepherds feed the flocks?
   Ezekiel|34:3  Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill
 them that are fed: [but] ye feed not the flock.
   Ezekiel|34:4  The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye
 healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up [that which was]
 broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither
 have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye

 ruled them.
   Ezekiel|34:5  And they were scattered, because [there is] no shepherd:
 and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were
 scattered.
   Ezekiel|34:6  My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every
 high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and
 none did search or seek [after them].
   Ezekiel|34:7  Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
   Ezekiel|34:8  [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock
 became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field,
 because [there was] no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my
 flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
   Ezekiel|34:9  Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
   Ezekiel|34:10  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against the
 shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to
 cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves
 any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not
 be meat for them.
   Ezekiel|34:11  For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, [even] I, will
 both search my sheep, and seek them out.
   Ezekiel|34:12  As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is

 among his sheep [that are] scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will
 deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy
 and dark day.
   Ezekiel|34:13  And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them
 from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them
 upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places
 of the country.
   Ezekiel|34:14  I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high
 mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good
 fold, and [in] a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
   Ezekiel|34:15  I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down,
 saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|34:16  I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that
 which was driven away, and will bind up [that which was] broken, and will
 strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong;
 I will feed them with judgment.
   Ezekiel|34:17  And [as for] you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD;
 Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he
 goats.
   Ezekiel|34:18  [Seemeth it] a small thing unto you to have eaten up the
 good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your

 pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the
 residue with your feet?
   Ezekiel|34:19  And [as for] my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden
 with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
   Ezekiel|34:20  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I,
 [even] I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
   Ezekiel|34:21  Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and
 pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them
 abroad;
   Ezekiel|34:22  Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be
 a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
   Ezekiel|34:23  And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall
 feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be
 their shepherd.
   Ezekiel|34:24  And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a
 prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].
   Ezekiel|34:25  And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will
 cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely
 in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
   Ezekiel|34:26  And I will make them and the places round about my hill a
 blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there

 shall be showers of blessing.
   Ezekiel|34:27  And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the
 earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and
 shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their
 yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of
 them.
   Ezekiel|34:28  And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither
 shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and
 none shall make [them] afraid.
   Ezekiel|34:29  And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they
 shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame
 of the heathen any more.
   Ezekiel|34:30  Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God [am] with
 them, and [that] they, [even] the house of Israel, [are] my people, saith
 the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|34:31  And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and]
 I [am] your God, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|35:1  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|35:2  Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy
 against it,
   Ezekiel|35:3  And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount

 Seir, I [am] against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee,
 and I will make thee most desolate.
   Ezekiel|35:4  I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate,
 and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|35:5  Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed
 [the blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time
 of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:
   Ezekiel|35:6  Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare
 thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated
 blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
   Ezekiel|35:7  Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from
 it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
   Ezekiel|35:8  And I will fill his mountains with his slain [men]: in thy
 hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are
 slain with the sword.
   Ezekiel|35:9  I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities
 shall not return: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|35:10  Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two
 countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was
 there:
   Ezekiel|35:11  Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do

 according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used
 out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them,
 when I have judged thee.
   Ezekiel|35:12  And thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD, [and that] I
 have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains
 of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
   Ezekiel|35:13  Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have
 multiplied your words against me: I have heard [them].
   Ezekiel|35:14  Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I
 will make thee desolate.
   Ezekiel|35:15  As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of
 Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be
 desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, [even] all of it: and they shall
 know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|36:1  Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of
 Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
   Ezekiel|36:2  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said
 against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
   Ezekiel|36:3  Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
 Because they have made [you] desolate, and swallowed you up on every side,
 that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are

 taken up in the lips of talkers, and [are] an infamy of the people:
   Ezekiel|36:4  Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the
 Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to
 the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities
 that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the
 heathen that [are] round about;
   Ezekiel|36:5  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my
 jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all
 Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of
 all [their] heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
   Ezekiel|36:6  Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say
 unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys,
 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my
 fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
   Ezekiel|36:7  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine
 hand, Surely the heathen that [are] about you, they shall bear their shame.
   Ezekiel|36:8  But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your
 branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand
 to come.
   Ezekiel|36:9  For, behold, I [am] for you, and I will turn unto you, and
 ye shall be tilled and sown:

   Ezekiel|36:10  And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel,
 [even] all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall
 be builded:
   Ezekiel|36:11  And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall
 increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and
 will do better [unto you] than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I
 [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|36:12  Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, [even] my people
 Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance,
 and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them [of men].
   Ezekiel|36:13  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou
 [land] devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;
   Ezekiel|36:14  Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave
 thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|36:15  Neither will I cause [men] to hear in thee the shame of
 the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people
 any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the
 Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|36:16  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|36:17  Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own
 land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was

 before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
   Ezekiel|36:18  Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that
 they had shed upon the land, and for their idols [wherewith] they had
 polluted it:
   Ezekiel|36:19  And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were
 dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to
 their doings I judged them.
   Ezekiel|36:20  And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went,
 they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These [are] the people
 of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
   Ezekiel|36:21  But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of
 Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
   Ezekiel|36:22  Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the
 Lord GOD; I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine
 holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye
 went.
   Ezekiel|36:23  And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned
 among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the
 heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall
 be sanctified in you before their eyes.
   Ezekiel|36:24  For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you

 out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
   Ezekiel|36:25  Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be
 clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse
 you.
   Ezekiel|36:26  A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I
 put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and
 I will give you an heart of flesh.
   Ezekiel|36:27  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk
 in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].
   Ezekiel|36:28  And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your
 fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
   Ezekiel|36:29  I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I
 will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
   Ezekiel|36:30  And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the
 increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine
 among the heathen.
   Ezekiel|36:31  Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings
 that [were] not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for
 your iniquities and for your abominations.
   Ezekiel|36:32  Not for your sakes do I [this], saith the Lord GOD, be it
 known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of

 Israel.
   Ezekiel|36:33  Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have
 cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause [you] to dwell in
 the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
   Ezekiel|36:34  And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay
 desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
   Ezekiel|36:35  And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become
 like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are
 become] fenced, [and] are inhabited.
   Ezekiel|36:36  Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know
 that I the LORD build the ruined [places, and] plant that that was
 desolate: I the LORD have spoken [it], and I will do [it].
   Ezekiel|36:37  Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet [for] this be inquired
 of by the house of Israel, to do [it] for them; I will increase them with
 men like a flock.
   Ezekiel|36:38  As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn
 feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they
 shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|37:1  The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the
 spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was]
 full of bones,

   Ezekiel|37:2  And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold,
 [there were] very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they were] very dry.
   Ezekiel|37:3  And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And
 I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
   Ezekiel|37:4  Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say
 unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
   Ezekiel|37:5  Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will
 cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
   Ezekiel|37:6  And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh
 upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall
 live; and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|37:7  So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied,
 there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone
 to his bone.
   Ezekiel|37:8  And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up
 upon them, and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in
 them.
   Ezekiel|37:9  Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son
 of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four
 winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
   Ezekiel|37:10  So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came

 into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great
 army.
   Ezekiel|37:11  Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the
 whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope
 is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
   Ezekiel|37:12  Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord
 GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up
 out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
   Ezekiel|37:13  And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened
 your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
   Ezekiel|37:14  And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I
 shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have
 spoken [it], and performed [it], saith the LORD.
   Ezekiel|37:15  The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|37:16  Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write
 upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then
 take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim,
 and [for] all the house of Israel his companions:
   Ezekiel|37:17  And join them one to another into one stick; and they
 shall become one in thine hand.
   Ezekiel|37:18  And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee,

 saying, Wilt thou not show us what thou [meanest] by these?
   Ezekiel|37:19  Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
 take the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes
 of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, [even] with the stick of
 Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
   Ezekiel|37:20  And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand
 before their eyes.
   Ezekiel|37:21  And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
 take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone,
 and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
   Ezekiel|37:22  And I will make them one nation in the land upon the
 mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall
 be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any
 more at all:
   Ezekiel|37:23  Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their
 idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their
 transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces,
 wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my
 people, and I will be their God.
   Ezekiel|37:24  And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they
 all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and

 observe my statutes, and do them.
   Ezekiel|37:25  And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto
 Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell
 therein, [even] they, and their children, and their children's children for
 ever: and my servant David [shall be] their prince for ever.
   Ezekiel|37:26  Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it
 shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and
 multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
   Ezekiel|37:27  My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be
 their God, and they shall be my people.
   Ezekiel|37:28  And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify
 Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
   Ezekiel|38:1  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Ezekiel|38:2  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog,
 the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
   Ezekiel|38:3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against
 thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
   Ezekiel|38:4  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and
 I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of
 them clothed with all sorts [of armour, even] a great company [with]
 bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

   Ezekiel|38:5  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with
 shield and helmet:
   Ezekiel|38:6  Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the
 north quarters, and all his bands: [and] many people with thee.
   Ezekiel|38:7  Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all
 thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
   Ezekiel|38:8  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years
 thou shalt come into the land [that is] brought back from the sword, [and
 is] gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which
 have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and
 they shall dwell safely all of them.
   Ezekiel|38:9  Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like
 a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
 thee.
   Ezekiel|38:10  Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass,
 [that] at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt
 think an evil thought:
   Ezekiel|38:11  And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled
 villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of
 them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
   Ezekiel|38:12  To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand

 upon the desolate places [that are now] inhabited, and upon the people
 [that are] gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods,
 that dwell in the midst of the land.
   Ezekiel|38:13  Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all
 the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a
 spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver
 and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
   Ezekiel|38:14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus
 saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely,
 shalt thou not know [it]?
   Ezekiel|38:15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts,
 thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great
 company, and a mighty army:
   Ezekiel|38:16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a
 cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring
 thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be
 sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
   Ezekiel|38:17  Thus saith the Lord GOD; [Art] thou he of whom I have
 spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied
 in those days [many] years that I would bring thee against them?
   Ezekiel|38:18  And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall

 come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, [that] my fury shall
 come up in my face.
   Ezekiel|38:19  For in my jealousy [and] in the fire of my wrath have I
 spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of
 Israel;
   Ezekiel|38:20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the
 heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep
 upon the earth, and all the men that [are] upon the face of the earth,
 shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the
 steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
   Ezekiel|38:21  And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my
 mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his
 brother.
   Ezekiel|38:22  And I will plead against him with pestilence and with
 blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many
 people that [are] with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,
 fire, and brimstone.
   Ezekiel|38:23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I
 will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I [am]
 the LORD.
   Ezekiel|39:1  Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say,

 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief
 prince of Meshech and Tubal:
   Ezekiel|39:2  And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of
 thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring
 thee upon the mountains of Israel:
   Ezekiel|39:3  And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will
 cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
   Ezekiel|39:4  Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all
 thy bands, and the people that [is] with thee: I will give thee unto the
 ravenous birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field to be
 devoured.
   Ezekiel|39:5  Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken
 [it], saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|39:6  And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell
 carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
   Ezekiel|39:7  So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people
 Israel; and I will not [let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the
 heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
   Ezekiel|39:8  Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD;
 this [is] the day whereof I have spoken.
   Ezekiel|39:9  And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth,

 and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the
 bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and
 they shall burn them with fire seven years:
   Ezekiel|39:10  So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither
 cut down [any] out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with
 fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that
 robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|39:11  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will give
 unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on
 the east of the sea: and it shall stop the [noses] of the passengers: and
 there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call [it]
 The valley of Hamongog.
   Ezekiel|39:12  And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of
 them, that they may cleanse the land.
   Ezekiel|39:13  Yea, all the people of the land shall bury [them]; and it
 shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord
 GOD.
   Ezekiel|39:14  And they shall sever out men of continual employment,
 passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon
 the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall
 they search.

   Ezekiel|39:15  And the passengers [that] pass through the land, when
 [any] seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the
 buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
   Ezekiel|39:16  And also the name of the city [shall be] Hamonah. Thus
 shall they cleanse the land.
   Ezekiel|39:17  And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto
 every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves,
 and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
 sacrifice for you, [even] a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
 that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
   Ezekiel|39:18  Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood
 of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks,
 all of them fatlings of Bashan.
   Ezekiel|39:19  And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till
 ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
   Ezekiel|39:20  Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and
 chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|39:21  And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the
 heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have
 laid upon them.
   Ezekiel|39:22  So the house of Israel shall know that I [am] the LORD

 their God from that day and forward.
   Ezekiel|39:23  And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went
 into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me,
 therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their
 enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
   Ezekiel|39:24  According to their uncleanness and according to their
 transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
   Ezekiel|39:25  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again
 the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and
 will be jealous for my holy name;
   Ezekiel|39:26  After that they have borne their shame, and all their
 trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely
 in their land, and none made [them] afraid.
   Ezekiel|39:27  When I have brought them again from the people, and
 gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the
 sight of many nations;
   Ezekiel|39:28  Then shall they know that I [am] the LORD their God, which
 caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered
 them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
   Ezekiel|39:29  Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have
 poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

   Ezekiel|40:1  In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the
 beginning of the year, in the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth
 year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the
 LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
   Ezekiel|40:2  In the visions of God brought he me into the land of
 Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame
 of a city on the south.
   Ezekiel|40:3  And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man,
 whose appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in
 his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
   Ezekiel|40:4  And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine
 eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall
 show thee; for to the intent that I might show [them] unto thee [art] thou
 brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|40:5  And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about,
 and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits [long] by the cubit
 and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed;
 and the height, one reed.
   Ezekiel|40:6  Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east,
 and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate,
 [which was] one reed broad; and the other threshold [of the gate, which

 was] one reed broad.
   Ezekiel|40:7  And [every] little chamber [was] one reed long, and one
 reed broad; and between the little chambers [were] five cubits; and the
 threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within [was] one reed.
   Ezekiel|40:8  He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
   Ezekiel|40:9  Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and
 the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate [was] inward.
   Ezekiel|40:10  And the little chambers of the gate eastward [were] three
 on this side, and three on that side; they three [were] of one measure: and
 the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
   Ezekiel|40:11  And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten
 cubits; [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
   Ezekiel|40:12  The space also before the little chambers [was] one cubit
 [on this side], and the space [was] one cubit on that side: and the little
 chambers [were] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
   Ezekiel|40:13  He measured then the gate from the roof of [one] little
 chamber to the roof of another: the breadth [was] five and twenty cubits,
 door against door.
   Ezekiel|40:14  He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the
 post of the court round about the gate.
   Ezekiel|40:15  And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the

 face of the porch of the inner gate [were] fifty cubits.
   Ezekiel|40:16  And [there were] narrow windows to the little chambers,
 and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches:
 and windows [were] round about inward: and upon [each] post [were] palm
 trees.
   Ezekiel|40:17  Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, [there
 were] chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty
 chambers [were] upon the pavement.
   Ezekiel|40:18  And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the
 length of the gates [was] the lower pavement.
   Ezekiel|40:19  Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the
 lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits
 eastward and northward.
   Ezekiel|40:20  And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the
 north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
   Ezekiel|40:21  And the little chambers thereof [were] three on this side
 and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were
 after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof [was] fifty cubits,
 and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
   Ezekiel|40:22  And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees,
 [were] after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they

 went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof [were] before them.
   Ezekiel|40:23  And the gate of the inner court [was] over against the
 gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to
 gate an hundred cubits.
   Ezekiel|40:24  After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a
 gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches
 thereof according to these measures.
   Ezekiel|40:25  And [there were] windows in it and in the arches thereof
 round about, like those windows: the length [was] fifty cubits, and the
 breadth five and twenty cubits.
   Ezekiel|40:26  And [there were] seven steps to go up to it, and the
 arches thereof [were] before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side,
 and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
   Ezekiel|40:27  And [there was] a gate in the inner court toward the
 south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred
 cubits.
   Ezekiel|40:28  And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate:
 and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
   Ezekiel|40:29  And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof,
 and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and [there were]
 windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty cubits

 long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
   Ezekiel|40:30  And the arches round about [were] five and twenty cubits
 long, and five cubits broad.
   Ezekiel|40:31  And the arches thereof [were] toward the utter court; and
 palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it [had]
 eight steps.
   Ezekiel|40:32  And he brought me into the inner court toward the east:
 and he measured the gate according to these measures.
   Ezekiel|40:33  And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof,
 and the arches thereof, [were] according to these measures: and [there
 were] windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: [it was] fifty
 cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
   Ezekiel|40:34  And the arches thereof [were] toward the outward court;
 and palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that
 side: and the going up to it [had] eight steps.
   Ezekiel|40:35  And he brought me to the north gate, and measured [it]
 according to these measures;
   Ezekiel|40:36  The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the
 arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length [was] fifty
 cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
   Ezekiel|40:37  And the posts thereof [were] toward the utter court; and

 palm trees [were] upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side:
 and the going up to it [had] eight steps.
   Ezekiel|40:38  And the chambers and the entries thereof [were] by the
 posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
   Ezekiel|40:39  And in the porch of the gate [were] two tables on this
 side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and
 the sin offering and the trespass offering.
   Ezekiel|40:40  And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of
 the north gate, [were] two tables; and on the other side, which [was] at
 the porch of the gate, [were] two tables.
   Ezekiel|40:41  Four tables [were] on this side, and four tables on that
 side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew [their
 sacrifices].
   Ezekiel|40:42  And the four tables [were] of hewn stone for the burnt
 offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and
 one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they
 slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
   Ezekiel|40:43  And within [were] hooks, an hand broad, fastened round
 about: and upon the tables [was] the flesh of the offering.
   Ezekiel|40:44  And without the inner gate [were] the chambers of the
 singers in the inner court, which [was] at the side of the north gate; and

 their prospect [was] toward the south: one at the side of the east gate
 [having] the prospect toward the north.
   Ezekiel|40:45  And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect [is]
 toward the south, [is] for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the
 house.
   Ezekiel|40:46  And the chamber whose prospect [is] toward the north [is]
 for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these [are] the
 sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to
 minister unto him.
   Ezekiel|40:47  So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an
 hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar [that was] before the
 house.
   Ezekiel|40:48  And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured
 [each] post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that
 side: and the breadth of the gate [was] three cubits on this side, and
 three cubits on that side.
   Ezekiel|40:49  The length of the porch [was] twenty cubits, and the
 breadth eleven cubits; and [he brought me] by the steps whereby they went
 up to it: and [there were] pillars by the posts, one on this side, and
 another on that side.
   Ezekiel|41:1  Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the

 posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other
 side, [which was] the breadth of the tabernacle.
   Ezekiel|41:2  And the breadth of the door [was] ten cubits: and the sides
 of the door [were] five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the
 other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the
 breadth, twenty cubits.
   Ezekiel|41:3  Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two
 cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven
 cubits.
   Ezekiel|41:4  So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the
 breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This [is]
 the most holy [place].
   Ezekiel|41:5  After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and
 the breadth of [every] side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on
 every side.
   Ezekiel|41:6  And the side chambers [were] three, one over another, and
 thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which [was] of the house
 for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had
 not hold in the wall of the house.
   Ezekiel|41:7  And [there was] an enlarging, and a winding about still
 upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still

 upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house [was
 still] upward, and so increased [from] the lowest [chamber] to the highest
 by the midst.
   Ezekiel|41:8  I saw also the height of the house round about: the
 foundations of the side chambers [were] a full reed of six great cubits.
   Ezekiel|41:9  The thickness of the wall, which [was] for the side chamber
 without, [was] five cubits: and [that] which [was] left [was] the place of
 the side chambers that [were] within.
   Ezekiel|41:10  And between the chambers [was] the wideness of twenty
 cubits round about the house on every side.
   Ezekiel|41:11  And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward [the
 place that was] left, one door toward the north, and another door toward
 the south: and the breadth of the place that was left [was] five cubits
 round about.
   Ezekiel|41:12  Now the building that [was] before the separate place at
 the end toward the west [was] seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the
 building [was] five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety
 cubits.
   Ezekiel|41:13  So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the
 separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits
 long;

   Ezekiel|41:14  Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the
 separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
   Ezekiel|41:15  And he measured the length of the building over against
 the separate place which [was] behind it, and the galleries thereof on the
 one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple,
 and the porches of the court;
   Ezekiel|41:16  The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries
 round about on their three stories, over against the door, ceiled with wood
 round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows [were]
 covered;
   Ezekiel|41:17  To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and
 without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
   Ezekiel|41:18  And [it was] made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a
 palm tree [was] between a cherub and a cherub; and [every] cherub had two
 faces;
   Ezekiel|41:19  So that the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree on
 the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the
 other side: [it was] made through all the house round about.
   Ezekiel|41:20  From the ground unto above the door [were] cherubims and
 palm trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple.
   Ezekiel|41:21  The posts of the temple [were] squared, [and] the face of

 the sanctuary; the appearance [of the one] as the appearance [of the
 other].
   Ezekiel|41:22  The altar of wood [was] three cubits high, and the length
 thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and
 the walls thereof, [were] of wood: and he said unto me, This [is] the table
 that [is] before the LORD.
   Ezekiel|41:23  And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
   Ezekiel|41:24  And the doors had two leaves [apiece], two turning leaves;
 two [leaves] for the one door, and two leaves for the other [door].
   Ezekiel|41:25  And [there were] made on them, on the doors of the temple,
 cherubims and palm trees, like as [were] made upon the walls; and [there
 were] thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
   Ezekiel|41:26  And [there were] narrow windows and palm trees on the one
 side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and [upon] the side
 chambers of the house, and thick planks.
   Ezekiel|42:1  Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way
 toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that [was] over
 against the separate place, and which [was] before the building toward the
 north.
   Ezekiel|42:2  Before the length of an hundred cubits [was] the north
 door, and the breadth [was] fifty cubits.

   Ezekiel|42:3  Over against the twenty [cubits] which [were] for the inner
 court, and over against the pavement which [was] for the utter court, [was]
 gallery against gallery in three [stories].
   Ezekiel|42:4  And before the chambers [was] a walk of ten cubits breadth
 inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
   Ezekiel|42:5  Now the upper chambers [were] shorter: for the galleries
 were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the
 building.
   Ezekiel|42:6  For they [were] in three [stories], but had not pillars as
 the pillars of the courts: therefore [the building] was straitened more
 than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
   Ezekiel|42:7  And the wall that [was] without over against the chambers,
 toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof
 [was] fifty cubits.
   Ezekiel|42:8  For the length of the chambers that [were] in the utter
 court [was] fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple [were] an hundred
 cubits.
   Ezekiel|42:9  And from under these chambers [was] the entry on the east
 side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
   Ezekiel|42:10  The chambers [were] in the thickness of the wall of the
 court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against

 the building.
   Ezekiel|42:11  And the way before them [was] like the appearance of the
 chambers which [were] toward the north, as long as they, [and] as broad as
 they: and all their goings out [were] both according to their fashions, and
 according to their doors.
   Ezekiel|42:12  And according to the doors of the chambers that [were]
 toward the south [was] a door in the head of the way, [even] the way
 directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
   Ezekiel|42:13  Then said he unto me, The north chambers [and] the south
 chambers, which [are] before the separate place, they [be] holy chambers,
 where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy
 things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering,
 and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place [is] holy.
   Ezekiel|42:14  When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out
 of the holy [place] into the utter court, but there they shall lay their
 garments wherein they minister; for they [are] holy; and shall put on other
 garments, and shall approach to [those things] which [are] for the people.
   Ezekiel|42:15  Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house,
 he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east,
 and measured it round about.
   Ezekiel|42:16  He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five

 hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
   Ezekiel|42:17  He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the
 measuring reed round about.
   Ezekiel|42:18  He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the
 measuring reed.
   Ezekiel|42:19  He turned about to the west side, [and] measured five
 hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
   Ezekiel|42:20  He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round
 about, five hundred [reeds] long, and five hundred broad, to make a
 separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
   Ezekiel|43:1  Afterward he brought me to the gate, [even] the gate that
 looketh toward the east:
   Ezekiel|43:2  And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the
 way of the east: and his voice [was] like a noise of many waters: and the
 earth shined with his glory.
   Ezekiel|43:3  And [it was] according to the appearance of the vision
 which I saw, [even] according to the vision that I saw when I came to
 destroy the city: and the visions [were] like the vision that I saw by the
 river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
   Ezekiel|43:4  And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of
 the gate whose prospect [is] toward the east.

   Ezekiel|43:5  So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner
 court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
   Ezekiel|43:6  And I heard [him] speaking unto me out of the house; and
 the man stood by me.
   Ezekiel|43:7  And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne,
 and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of
 the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of
 Israel no more defile, [neither] they, nor their kings, by their whoredom,
 nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
   Ezekiel|43:8  In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and
 their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even
 defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed:
 wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
   Ezekiel|43:9  Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of
 their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
   Ezekiel|43:10  Thou son of man, show the house to the house of Israel,
 that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the
 pattern.
   Ezekiel|43:11  And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, show
 them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out
 thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the

 ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof:
 and write [it] in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof,
 and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
   Ezekiel|43:12  This [is] the law of the house; Upon the top of the
 mountain the whole limit thereof round about [shall be] most holy. Behold,
 this [is] the law of the house.
   Ezekiel|43:13  And these [are] the measures of the altar after the
 cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom [shall
 be] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge
 thereof round about [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place
 of the altar.
   Ezekiel|43:14  And from the bottom [upon] the ground [even] to the lower
 settle [shall be] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the
 lesser settle [even] to the greater settle [shall be] four cubits, and the
 breadth [one] cubit.
   Ezekiel|43:15  So the altar [shall be] four cubits; and from the altar
 and upward [shall be] four horns.
   Ezekiel|43:16  And the altar [shall be] twelve [cubits] long, twelve
 broad, square in the four squares thereof.
   Ezekiel|43:17  And the settle [shall be] fourteen [cubits] long and
 fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it [shall

 be] half a cubit; and the bottom thereof [shall be] a cubit about; and his
 stairs shall look toward the east.
   Ezekiel|43:18  And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD;
 These [are] the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it,
 to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
   Ezekiel|43:19  And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of
 the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the
 Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.
   Ezekiel|43:20  And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put [it] on
 the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the
 border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
   Ezekiel|43:21  Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and
 he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the
 sanctuary.
   Ezekiel|43:22  And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats
 without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as
 they did cleanse [it] with the bullock.
   Ezekiel|43:23  When thou hast made an end of cleansing [it], thou shalt
 offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without
 blemish.
   Ezekiel|43:24  And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests

 shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up [for] a burnt
 offering unto the LORD.
   Ezekiel|43:25  Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat [for] a sin
 offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the
 flock, without blemish.
   Ezekiel|43:26  Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and
 they shall consecrate themselves.
   Ezekiel|43:27  And when these days are expired, it shall be, [that] upon
 the eighth day, and [so] forward, the priests shall make your burnt
 offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you,
 saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|44:1  Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward
 sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it [was] shut.
   Ezekiel|44:2  Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it
 shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the
 God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
   Ezekiel|44:3  [It is] for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to
 eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of [that]
 gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
   Ezekiel|44:4  Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the
 house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of

 the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
   Ezekiel|44:5  And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and
 behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee
 concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws
 thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth
 of the sanctuary.
   Ezekiel|44:6  And thou shalt say to the rebellious, [even] to the house
 of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice
 you of all your abominations,
   Ezekiel|44:7  In that ye have brought [into my sanctuary] strangers,
 uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary,
 to pollute it, [even] my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the
 blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
   Ezekiel|44:8  And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye
 have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
   Ezekiel|44:9  Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in
 heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any
 stranger that [is] among the children of Israel.
   Ezekiel|44:10  And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when
 Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they
 shall even bear their iniquity.

   Ezekiel|44:11  Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, [having]
 charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall
 slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall
 stand before them to minister unto them.
   Ezekiel|44:12  Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and
 caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted
 up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their
 iniquity.
   Ezekiel|44:13  And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of
 a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most
 holy [place]: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which
 they have committed.
   Ezekiel|44:14  But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house,
 for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
   Ezekiel|44:15  But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept
 the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me,
 they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before
 me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
   Ezekiel|44:16  They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come
 near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
   Ezekiel|44:17  And it shall come to pass, [that] when they enter in at

 the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments;
 and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the
 inner court, and within.
   Ezekiel|44:18  They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall
 have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird [themselves] with
 any thing that causeth sweat.
   Ezekiel|44:19  And when they go forth into the utter court, [even] into
 the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein
 they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on
 other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
   Ezekiel|44:20  Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their
 locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
   Ezekiel|44:21  Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into
 the inner court.
   Ezekiel|44:22  Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her
 that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of
 Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
   Ezekiel|44:23  And they shall teach my people [the difference] between
 the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the
 clean.
   Ezekiel|44:24  And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; [and]

 they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws
 and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
   Ezekiel|44:25  And they shall come at no dead person to defile
 themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for
 brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile
 themselves.
   Ezekiel|44:26  And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven
 days.
   Ezekiel|44:27  And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the
 inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering,
 saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|44:28  And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I [am] their
 inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I [am] their
 possession.
   Ezekiel|44:29  They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering,
 and the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be
 theirs.
   Ezekiel|44:30  And the first of all the firstfruits of all [things], and
 every oblation of all, of every [sort] of your oblations, shall be the
 priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that
 he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.

   Ezekiel|44:31  The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of
 itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
   Ezekiel|45:1  Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for
 inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of
 the land: the length [shall be] the length of five and twenty thousand
 [reeds], and the breadth [shall be] ten thousand. This [shall be] holy in
 all the borders thereof round about.
   Ezekiel|45:2  Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred [in
 length], with five hundred [in breadth], square round about; and fifty
 cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
   Ezekiel|45:3  And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five
 and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be
 the sanctuary [and] the most holy [place].
   Ezekiel|45:4  The holy [portion] of the land shall be for the priests the
 ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the
 LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the
 sanctuary.
   Ezekiel|45:5  And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten
 thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house,
 have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
   Ezekiel|45:6  And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five

 thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the
 oblation of the holy [portion]: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|45:7  And a [portion shall be] for the prince on the one side and
 on the other side of the oblation of the holy [portion], and of the
 possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy [portion], and
 before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from
 the east side eastward: and the length [shall be] over against one of the
 portions, from the west border unto the east border.
   Ezekiel|45:8  In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my
 princes shall no more oppress my people; and [the rest of] the land shall
 they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
   Ezekiel|45:9  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of
 Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take
 away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|45:10  Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just
 bath.
   Ezekiel|45:11  The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the
 bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part
 of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
   Ezekiel|45:12  And the shekel [shall be] twenty gerahs: twenty shekels,
 five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.

   Ezekiel|45:13  This [is] the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part
 of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an
 ephah of an homer of barley:
   Ezekiel|45:14  Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, [ye
 shall offer] the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, [which is] an homer
 of ten baths; for ten baths [are] an homer:
   Ezekiel|45:15  And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of
 the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering,
 and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord
 GOD.
   Ezekiel|45:16  All the people of the land shall give this oblation for
 the prince in Israel.
   Ezekiel|45:17  And it shall be the prince's part [to give] burnt
 offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in
 the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of
 Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the
 burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the
 house of Israel.
   Ezekiel|45:18  Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first [month], in the
 first [day] of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish,
 and cleanse the sanctuary:

   Ezekiel|45:19  And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin
 offering, and put [it] upon the posts of the house, and upon the four
 corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the
 inner court.
   Ezekiel|45:20  And so thou shalt do the seventh [day] of the month for
 every one that erreth, and for [him that is] simple: so shall ye reconcile
 the house.
   Ezekiel|45:21  In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month,
 ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall
 be eaten.
   Ezekiel|45:22  And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and
 for all the people of the land a bullock [for] a sin offering.
   Ezekiel|45:23  And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt
 offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily
 the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily [for] a sin offering.
   Ezekiel|45:24  And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a
 bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
   Ezekiel|45:25  In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the month,
 shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin
 offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat
 offering, and according to the oil.

   Ezekiel|46:1  Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that
 looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the
 sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be
 opened.
   Ezekiel|46:2  And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of
 [that] gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the
 priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he
 shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the
 gate shall not be shut until the evening.
   Ezekiel|46:3  Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door
 of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
   Ezekiel|46:4  And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the
 LORD in the sabbath day [shall be] six lambs without blemish, and a ram
 without blemish.
   Ezekiel|46:5  And the meat offering [shall be] an ephah for a ram, and
 the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of
 oil to an ephah.
   Ezekiel|46:6  And in the day of the new moon [it shall be] a young
 bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without
 blemish.
   Ezekiel|46:7  And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a

 bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand
 shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
   Ezekiel|46:8  And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way
 of the porch of [that] gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
   Ezekiel|46:9  But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD
 in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to
 worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by
 the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he
 shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go
 forth over against it.
   Ezekiel|46:10  And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in,
 shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
   Ezekiel|46:11  And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering
 shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as
 he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
   Ezekiel|46:12  Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt
 offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, [one] shall then
 open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his
 burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then
 he shall go forth; and after his going forth [one] shall shut the gate.
   Ezekiel|46:13  Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD

 [of] a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every
 morning.
   Ezekiel|46:14  And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every
 morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil,
 to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual
 ordinance unto the LORD.
   Ezekiel|46:15  Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering,
 and the oil, every morning [for] a continual burnt offering.
   Ezekiel|46:16  Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto
 any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it [shall be]
 their possession by inheritance.
   Ezekiel|46:17  But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his
 servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall
 return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.
   Ezekiel|46:18  Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's
 inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; [but] he
 shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people
 be not scattered every man from his possession.
   Ezekiel|46:19  After he brought me through the entry, which [was] at the
 side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked
 toward the north: and, behold, there [was] a place on the two sides

 westward.
   Ezekiel|46:20  Then said he unto me, This [is] the place where the
 priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they
 shall bake the meat offering; that they bear [them] not out into the utter
 court, to sanctify the people.
   Ezekiel|46:21  Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused
 me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner
 of the court [there was] a court.
   Ezekiel|46:22  In the four corners of the court [there were] courts
 joined of forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four corners [were]
 of one measure.
   Ezekiel|46:23  And [there was] a row [of building] round about in them,
 round about them four, and [it was] made with boiling places under the rows
 round about.
   Ezekiel|46:24  Then said he unto me, These [are] the places of them that
 boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the
 people.
   Ezekiel|47:1  Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house;
 and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house
 eastward: for the forefront of the house [stood toward] the east, and the
 waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south

 [side] of the altar.
   Ezekiel|47:2  Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward,
 and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that
 looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
   Ezekiel|47:3  And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth
 eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the
 waters; the waters [were] to the ankles.
   Ezekiel|47:4  Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the
 waters; the waters [were] to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and
 brought me through; the waters [were] to the loins.
   Ezekiel|47:5  Afterward he measured a thousand; [and it was] a river that
 I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a
 river that could not be passed over.
   Ezekiel|47:6  And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen [this]?
 Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
   Ezekiel|47:7  Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river
 [were] very many trees on the one side and on the other.
   Ezekiel|47:8  Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the
 east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: [which
 being] brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
   Ezekiel|47:9  And it shall come to pass, [that] every thing that liveth,

 which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there
 shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come
 thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the
 river cometh.
   Ezekiel|47:10  And it shall come to pass, [that] the fishers shall stand
 upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a [place] to spread
 forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of
 the great sea, exceeding many.
   Ezekiel|47:11  But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall
 not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
   Ezekiel|47:12  And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and
 on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade,
 neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit
 according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the
 sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof
 for medicine.
   Ezekiel|47:13  Thus saith the Lord GOD; This [shall be] the border,
 whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel:
 Joseph [shall have two] portions.
   Ezekiel|47:14  And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another:
 [concerning] the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers:

 and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
   Ezekiel|47:15  And this [shall be] the border of the land toward the
 north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
   Ezekiel|47:16  Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which [is] between the border
 of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which [is] by the
 coast of Hauran.
   Ezekiel|47:17  And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border
 of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And [this
 is] the north side.
   Ezekiel|47:18  And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from
 Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel [by] Jordan, from
 the border unto the east sea. And [this is] the east side.
   Ezekiel|47:19  And the south side southward, from Tamar [even] to the
 waters of strife [in] Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And [this is] the
 south side southward.
   Ezekiel|47:20  The west side also [shall be] the great sea from the
 border, till a man come over against Hamath. This [is] the west side.
   Ezekiel|47:21  So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the
 tribes of Israel.
   Ezekiel|47:22  And it shall come to pass, [that] ye shall divide it by
 lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among

 you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as
 born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have
 inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
   Ezekiel|47:23  And it shall come to pass, [that] in what tribe the
 stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give [him] his inheritance, saith the
 Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|48:1  Now these [are] the names of the tribes. From the north end
 to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the
 border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his
 sides east [and] west; a [portion for] Dan.
   Ezekiel|48:2  And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west
 side, a [portion for] Asher.
   Ezekiel|48:3  And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto
 the west side, a [portion for] Naphtali.
   Ezekiel|48:4  And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the
 west side, a [portion for] Manasseh.
   Ezekiel|48:5  And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the
 west side, a [portion for] Ephraim.
   Ezekiel|48:6  And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto
 the west side, a [portion for] Reuben.
   Ezekiel|48:7  And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the

 west side, a [portion for] Judah.
   Ezekiel|48:8  And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the
 west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty
 thousand [reeds in] breadth, and [in] length as one of the [other] parts,
 from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the
 midst of it.
   Ezekiel|48:9  The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD [shall be]
 of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
   Ezekiel|48:10  And for them, [even] for the priests, shall be [this] holy
 oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand [in length], and toward
 the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in
 breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the
 sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
   Ezekiel|48:11  [It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the
 sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the
 children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
   Ezekiel|48:12  And [this] oblation of the land that is offered shall be
 unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
   Ezekiel|48:13  And over against the border of the priests the Levites
 [shall have] five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in
 breadth: all the length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the

 breadth ten thousand.
   Ezekiel|48:14  And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor
 alienate the firstfruits of the land: for [it is] holy unto the LORD.
   Ezekiel|48:15  And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over
 against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane [place] for the
 city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst
 thereof.
   Ezekiel|48:16  And these [shall be] the measures thereof; the north side
 four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five
 hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west
 side four thousand and five hundred.
   Ezekiel|48:17  And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two
 hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward
 the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
   Ezekiel|48:18  And the residue in length over against the oblation of the
 holy [portion shall be] ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward:
 and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy [portion]; and the
 increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
   Ezekiel|48:19  And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the
 tribes of Israel.
   Ezekiel|48:20  All the oblation [shall be] five and twenty thousand by

 five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with
 the possession of the city.
   Ezekiel|48:21  And the residue [shall be] for the prince, on the one side
 and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city,
 over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east
 border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the
 west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the
 holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house [shall be] in the midst
 thereof.
   Ezekiel|48:22  Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the
 possession of the city, [being] in the midst [of that] which is the
 prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be
 for the prince.
   Ezekiel|48:23  As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the
 west side, Benjamin [shall have] a [portion].
   Ezekiel|48:24  And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the
 west side, Simeon [shall have] a [portion].
   Ezekiel|48:25  And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the
 west side, Issachar a [portion].
   Ezekiel|48:26  And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the
 west side, Zebulun a [portion].

   Ezekiel|48:27  And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the
 west side, Gad a [portion].
   Ezekiel|48:28  And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the
 border shall be even from Tamar [unto] the waters of strife [in] Kadesh,
 [and] to the river toward the great sea.
   Ezekiel|48:29  This [is] the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the
 tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these [are] their portions, saith the
 Lord GOD.
   Ezekiel|48:30  And these [are] the goings out of the city on the north
 side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
   Ezekiel|48:31  And the gates of the city [shall be] after the names of
 the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate
 of Judah, one gate of Levi.
   Ezekiel|48:32  And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and
 three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
   Ezekiel|48:33  And at the south side four thousand and five hundred
 measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one
 gate of Zebulun.
   Ezekiel|48:34  At the west side four thousand and five hundred, [with]
 their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of
 Naphtali.

   Ezekiel|48:35  [It was] round about eighteen thousand [measures]: and the
 name of the city from [that] day [shall be], The LORD [is] there.
   Daniel|1:1  In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah
 came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
   Daniel|1:2  And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with
 part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of
 Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the
 treasure house of his god.
   Daniel|1:3  And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs,
 that he should bring [certain] of the children of Israel, and of the king's
 seed, and of the princes;
   Daniel|1:4  Children in whom [was] no blemish, but well favoured, and
 skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science,
 and such as [had] ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom
 they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
   Daniel|1:5  And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's
 meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that
 at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
   Daniel|1:6  Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel,
 Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
   Daniel|1:7  Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave

 unto Daniel [the name] of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and
 to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
   Daniel|1:8  But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile
 himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he
 drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might
 not defile himself.
   Daniel|1:9  Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with
 the prince of the eunuchs.
   Daniel|1:10  And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my
 lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should
 he see your faces worse liking than the children which [are] of your sort?
 then shall ye make [me] endanger my head to the king.
   Daniel|1:11  Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs
 had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
   Daniel|1:12  Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them
 give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
   Daniel|1:13  Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and
 the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat:
 and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
   Daniel|1:14  So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten
 days.

   Daniel|1:15  And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared
 fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion
 of the king's meat.
   Daniel|1:16  Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the
 wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
   Daniel|1:17  As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and
 skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all
 visions and dreams.
   Daniel|1:18  Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should
 bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before
 Nebuchadnezzar.
   Daniel|1:19  And the king communed with them; and among them all was
 found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood
 they before the king.
   Daniel|1:20  And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that the
 king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the
 magicians [and] astrologers that [were] in all his realm.
   Daniel|1:21  And Daniel continued [even] unto the first year of king
 Cyrus.
   Daniel|2:1  And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar
 Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his

 sleep brake from him.
   Daniel|2:2  Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the
 astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to show the king his
 dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
   Daniel|2:3  And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my
 spirit was troubled to know the dream.
   Daniel|2:4  Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live
 for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.
   Daniel|2:5  The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is
 gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the
 interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be
 made a dunghill.
   Daniel|2:6  But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye
 shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show me
 the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
   Daniel|2:7  They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants
 the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.
   Daniel|2:8  The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would
 gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
   Daniel|2:9  But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, [there is
 but] one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to

 speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and
 I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.
   Daniel|2:10  The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is
 not a man upon the earth that can show the king's matter: therefore [there
 is] no king, lord, nor ruler, [that] asked such things at any magician, or
 astrologer, or Chaldean.
   Daniel|2:11  And [it is] a rare thing that the king requireth, and there
 is none other that can show it before the king, except the gods, whose
 dwelling is not with flesh.
   Daniel|2:12  For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and
 commanded to destroy all the wise [men] of Babylon.
   Daniel|2:13  And the decree went forth that the wise [men] should be
 slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
   Daniel|2:14  Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the
 captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise [men] of
 Babylon:
   Daniel|2:15  He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why [is]
 the decree [so] hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to
 Daniel.
   Daniel|2:16  Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would
 give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.

   Daniel|2:17  Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to
 Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
   Daniel|2:18  That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven
 concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with
 the rest of the wise [men] of Babylon.
   Daniel|2:19  Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision.
 Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
   Daniel|2:20  Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for
 ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
   Daniel|2:21  And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth
 kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge
 to them that know understanding:
   Daniel|2:22  He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what
 [is] in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
   Daniel|2:23  I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who
 hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we
 desired of thee: for thou hast [now] made known unto us the king's matter.
   Daniel|2:24  Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had
 ordained to destroy the wise [men] of Babylon: he went and said thus unto
 him; Destroy not the wise [men] of Babylon: bring me in before the king,
 and I will show unto the king the interpretation.

   Daniel|2:25  Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and
 said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will
 make known unto the king the interpretation.
   Daniel|2:26  The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was]
 Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have
 seen, and the interpretation thereof?
   Daniel|2:27  Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The
 secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise [men], the astrologers,
 the magicians, the soothsayers, show unto the king;
   Daniel|2:28  But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and
 maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.
 Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
   Daniel|2:29  As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came [into thy mind] upon
 thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets
 maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
   Daniel|2:30  But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for [any]
 wisdom that I have more than any living, but for [their] sakes that shall
 make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the
 thoughts of thy heart.
   Daniel|2:31  Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great
 image, whose brightness [was] excellent, stood before thee; and the form

 thereof [was] terrible.
   Daniel|2:32  This image's head [was] of fine gold, his breast and his
 arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
   Daniel|2:33  His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
   Daniel|2:34  Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands,
 which smote the image upon his feet [that were] of iron and clay, and brake
 them to pieces.
   Daniel|2:35  Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the
 gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer
 threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found
 for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and
 filled the whole earth.
   Daniel|2:36  This [is] the dream; and we will tell the interpretation
 thereof before the king.
   Daniel|2:37  Thou, O king, [art] a king of kings: for the God of heaven
 hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
   Daniel|2:38  And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the
 field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath
 made thee ruler over them all. Thou [art] this head of gold.
   Daniel|2:39  And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee,
 and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the

 earth.
   Daniel|2:40  And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as
 iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all [things]: and as iron that
 breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
   Daniel|2:41  And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters'
 clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in
 it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed
 with miry clay.
   Daniel|2:42  And [as] the toes of the feet [were] part of iron, and part
 of clay, [so] the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
   Daniel|2:43  And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they
 shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one
 to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
   Daniel|2:44  And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set
 up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be
 left to other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these
 kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
   Daniel|2:45  Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the
 mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass,
 the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the
 king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the

 interpretation thereof sure.
   Daniel|2:46  Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and
 worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and
 sweet odours unto him.
   Daniel|2:47  The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth [it is],
 that your God [is] a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of
 secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
   Daniel|2:48  Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many
 great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and
 chief of the governors over all the wise [men] of Babylon.
   Daniel|2:49  Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach,
 Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but
 Daniel [sat] in the gate of the king.
   Daniel|3:1  Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height
 [was] threescore cubits, [and] the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up
 in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
   Daniel|3:2  Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the
 princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the
 counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to
 the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
   Daniel|3:3  Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges,

 the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the
 provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that
 Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that
 Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
   Daniel|3:4  Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people,
 nations, and languages,
   Daniel|3:5  [That] at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute,
 harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and
 worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
   Daniel|3:6  And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same
 hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
   Daniel|3:7  Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound
 of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all
 the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down [and] worshipped the
 golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
   Daniel|3:8  Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and
 accused the Jews.
   Daniel|3:9  They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live
 for ever.
   Daniel|3:10  Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall
 hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer,

 and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
   Daniel|3:11  And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, [that] he should
 be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
   Daniel|3:12  There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs
 of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O
 king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the
 golden image which thou hast set up.
   Daniel|3:13  Then Nebuchadnezzar in [his] rage and fury commanded to
 bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before
 the king.
   Daniel|3:14  Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, [Is it] true, O
 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the
 golden image which I have set up?
   Daniel|3:15  Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of
 the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of
 music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; [well]: but if
 ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning
 fiery furnace; and who [is] that God that shall deliver you out of my
 hands?
   Daniel|3:16  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the
 king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we [are] not careful to answer thee in this matter.

   Daniel|3:17  If it be [so], our God whom we serve is able to deliver us
 from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver [us] out of thine hand,
 O king.
   Daniel|3:18  But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not
 serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
   Daniel|3:19  Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his
 visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: [therefore] he
 spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more
 than it was wont to be heated.
   Daniel|3:20  And he commanded the most mighty men that [were] in his army
 to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, [and] to cast [them] into the
 burning fiery furnace.
   Daniel|3:21  Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and
 their hats, and their [other] garments, and were cast into the midst of the
 burning fiery furnace.
   Daniel|3:22  Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the
 furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up
 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
   Daniel|3:23  And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell
 down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
   Daniel|3:24  Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in

 haste, [and] spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three
 men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king,
 True, O king.
   Daniel|3:25  He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in
 the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is
 like the Son of God.
   Daniel|3:26  Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning
 fiery furnace, [and] spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye
 servants of the most high God, come forth, and come [hither]. Then
 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
   Daniel|3:27  And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's
 counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the
 fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their
 coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
   Daniel|3:28  [Then] Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed [be] the God
 of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered
 his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and
 yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except
 their own God.
   Daniel|3:29  Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and
 language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach,

 and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a
 dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
   Daniel|3:30  Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in
 the province of Babylon.
   Daniel|4:1  Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and
 languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
   Daniel|4:2  I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high
 God hath wrought toward me.
   Daniel|4:3  How great [are] his signs! and how mighty [are] his wonders!
 his kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion [is] from
 generation to generation.
   Daniel|4:4  I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing
 in my palace:
   Daniel|4:5  I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my
 bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
   Daniel|4:6  Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise [men] of
 Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of
 the dream.
   Daniel|4:7  Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans,
 and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not
 make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

   Daniel|4:8  But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name [was]
 Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom [is] the spirit
 of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, [saying],
   Daniel|4:9  O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that
 the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret troubleth thee,
 tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation
 thereof.
   Daniel|4:10  Thus [were] the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and
 behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof [was]
 great.
   Daniel|4:11  The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof
 reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
   Daniel|4:12  The leaves thereof [were] fair, and the fruit thereof much,
 and in it [was] meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it,
 and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was
 fed of it.
   Daniel|4:13  I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a
 watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
   Daniel|4:14  He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut
 off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the
 beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:

   Daniel|4:15  Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even
 with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it
 be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts
 in the grass of the earth:
   Daniel|4:16  Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart
 be given unto him: and let seven times pass over him.
   Daniel|4:17  This matter [is] by the decree of the watchers, and the
 demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know
 that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to
 whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
   Daniel|4:18  This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O
 Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise
 [men] of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation:
 but thou [art] able; for the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee.
   Daniel|4:19  Then Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, was astonied for
 one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said,
 Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble
 thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream [be] to them that
 hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
   Daniel|4:20  The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose
 height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;

   Daniel|4:21  Whose leaves [were] fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in
 it [was] meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon
 whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
   Daniel|4:22  It [is] thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for
 thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the
 end of the earth.
   Daniel|4:23  And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming
 down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave
 the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and
 brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of
 heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts of the field, till seven
 times pass over him;
   Daniel|4:24  This [is] the interpretation, O king, and this [is] the
 decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
   Daniel|4:25  That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall
 be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as
 oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall
 pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of
 men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
   Daniel|4:26  And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree
 roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have

 known that the heavens do rule.
   Daniel|4:27  Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee,
 and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing
 mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
   Daniel|4:28  All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
   Daniel|4:29  At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the
 kingdom of Babylon.
   Daniel|4:30  The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I
 have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for
 the honour of my majesty?
   Daniel|4:31  While the word [was] in the king's mouth, there fell a voice
 from heaven, [saying], O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The
 kingdom is departed from thee.
   Daniel|4:32  And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling [shall
 be] with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as
 oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most
 High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
   Daniel|4:33  The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar:
 and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet
 with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' [feathers],
 and his nails like birds' [claws].

   Daniel|4:34  And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine
 eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed
 the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose
 dominion [is] an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom [is] from generation
 to generation:
   Daniel|4:35  And all the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as
 nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and
 [among] the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say
 unto him, What doest thou?
   Daniel|4:36  At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the
 glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my
 counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my
 kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
   Daniel|4:37  Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of
 heaven, all whose works [are] truth, and his ways judgment: and those that
 walk in pride he is able to abase.
   Daniel|5:1  Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his
 lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
   Daniel|5:2  Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the
 golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of
 the temple which [was] in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his

 wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
   Daniel|5:3  Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of
 the temple of the house of God which [was] at Jerusalem; and the king, and
 his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
   Daniel|5:4  They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver,
 of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
   Daniel|5:5  In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and
 wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the
 king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
   Daniel|5:6  Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts
 troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees
 smote one against another.
   Daniel|5:7  The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the
 Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. [And] the king spake, and said to the wise
 [men] of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the
 interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [have] a chain
 of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
   Daniel|5:8  Then came in all the king's wise [men]: but they could not
 read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
   Daniel|5:9  Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his
 countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.

   Daniel|5:10  [Now] the queen by reason of the words of the king and his
 lords came into the banquet house: [and] the queen spake and said, O king,
 live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance
 be changed:
   Daniel|5:11  There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom [is] the spirit of
 the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and
 wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king
 Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, [I say], thy father, made master of
 the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, [and] soothsayers;
   Daniel|5:12  Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and
 understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and
 dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named
 Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the
 interpretation.
   Daniel|5:13  Then was Daniel brought in before the king. [And] the king
 spake and said unto Daniel, [Art] thou that Daniel, which [art] of the
 children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of
 Jewry?
   Daniel|5:14  I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods [is]
 in thee, and [that] light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found
 in thee.

   Daniel|5:15  And now the wise [men], the astrologers, have been brought
 in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me
 the interpretation thereof: but they could not show the interpretation of
 the thing:
   Daniel|5:16  And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make
 interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing,
 and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with
 scarlet, and [have] a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third
 ruler in the kingdom.
   Daniel|5:17  Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts
 be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing
 unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
   Daniel|5:18  O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy
 father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
   Daniel|5:19  And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations,
 and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and
 whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would
 he put down.
   Daniel|5:20  But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in
 pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from
 him:

   Daniel|5:21  And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was
 made like the beasts, and his dwelling [was] with the wild asses: they fed
 him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till
 he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and [that] he
 appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
   Daniel|5:22  And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine
 heart, though thou knewest all this;
   Daniel|5:23  But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and
 they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy
 lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou
 hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone,
 which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath
 [is], and whose [are] all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
   Daniel|5:24  Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this
 writing was written.
   Daniel|5:25  And this [is] the writing that was written, MENE, MENE,
 TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
   Daniel|5:26  This [is] the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath
 numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
   Daniel|5:27  TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found
 wanting.

   Daniel|5:28  PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and
 Persians.
   Daniel|5:29  Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with
 scarlet, and [put] a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation
 concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
   Daniel|5:30  In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans
 slain.
   Daniel|5:31  And Darius the Median took the kingdom, [being] about
 threescore and two years old.
   Daniel|6:1  It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and
 twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
   Daniel|6:2  And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel [was] first:
 that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no
 damage.
   Daniel|6:3  Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and
 princes, because an excellent spirit [was] in him; and the king thought to
 set him over the whole realm.
   Daniel|6:4  Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion
 against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion
 nor fault; forasmuch as he [was] faithful, neither was there any error or
 fault found in him.

   Daniel|6:5  Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against
 this Daniel, except we find [it] against him concerning the law of his God.
   Daniel|6:6  Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the
 king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
   Daniel|6:7  All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the
 princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to
 establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall
 ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he
 shall be cast into the den of lions.
   Daniel|6:8  Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that
 it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which
 altereth not.
   Daniel|6:9  Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
   Daniel|6:10  Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went
 into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem,
 he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks
 before his God, as he did aforetime.
   Daniel|6:11  Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and
 making supplication before his God.
   Daniel|6:12  Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning
 the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall

 ask [a petition] of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O
 king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The
 thing [is] true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which
 altereth not.
   Daniel|6:13  Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel,
 which [is] of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O
 king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three
 times a day.
   Daniel|6:14  Then the king, when he heard [these] words, was sore
 displeased with himself, and set [his] heart on Daniel to deliver him: and
 he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
   Daniel|6:15  Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the
 king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians [is], That no
 decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
   Daniel|6:16  Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast
 [him] into the den of lions. [Now] the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy
 God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
   Daniel|6:17  And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den;
 and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his
 lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
   Daniel|6:18  Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night

 fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his
 sleep went from him.
   Daniel|6:19  Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in
 haste unto the den of lions.
   Daniel|6:20  And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable
 voice unto Daniel: [and] the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel,
 servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able
 to deliver thee from the lions?
   Daniel|6:21  Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
   Daniel|6:22  My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths,
 that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in
 me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
   Daniel|6:23  Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that
 they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of
 the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in
 his God.
   Daniel|6:24  And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had
 accused Daniel, and they cast [them] into the den of lions, them, their
 children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake
 all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
   Daniel|6:25  Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and

 languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
   Daniel|6:26  I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men
 tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he [is] the living God, and
 stedfast for ever, and his kingdom [that] which shall not be destroyed, and
 his dominion [shall be even] unto the end.
   Daniel|6:27  He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders
 in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the
 lions.
   Daniel|6:28  So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the
 reign of Cyrus the Persian.
   Daniel|7:1  In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a
 dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, [and]
 told the sum of the matters.
   Daniel|7:2  Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and,
 behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
   Daniel|7:3  And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from
 another.
   Daniel|7:4  The first [was] like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld
 till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth,
 and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
   Daniel|7:5  And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it

 raised up itself on one side, and [it had] three ribs in the mouth of it
 between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much
 flesh.
   Daniel|7:6  After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which
 had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four
 heads; and dominion was given to it.
   Daniel|7:7  After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth
 beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron
 teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the
 feet of it: and it [was] diverse from all the beasts that [were] before it;
 and it had ten horns.
   Daniel|7:8  I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them
 another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns
 plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn [were] eyes like the
 eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
   Daniel|7:9  I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of
 days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head
 like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels
 [as] burning fire. fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
   Daniel|7:10  A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him:
 thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand

 stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
   Daniel|7:11  I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which
 the horn spake: I beheld [even] till the beast was slain, and his body
 destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
   Daniel|7:12  As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their
 dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
   Daniel|7:13  I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son
 of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and
 they brought him near before him.
   Daniel|7:14  And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom,
 that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion
 [is] an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom
 [that] which shall not be destroyed.
   Daniel|7:15  I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of [my] body,
 and the visions of my head troubled me.
   Daniel|7:16  I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him
 the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation
 of the things.
   Daniel|7:17  These great beasts, which are four, [are] four kings,
 [which] shall arise out of the earth.
   Daniel|7:18  But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and

 possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
   Daniel|7:19  Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was
 diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of]
 iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and
 stamped the residue with his feet;
   Daniel|7:20  And of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the
 other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn that
 had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look [was] more
 stout than his fellows.
   Daniel|7:21  I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and
 prevailed against them;
   Daniel|7:22  Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to
 the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed
 the kingdom.
   Daniel|7:23  Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom
 upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the
 whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
   Daniel|7:24  And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that]
 shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse
 from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
   Daniel|7:25  And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and

 shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and
 laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the
 dividing of time.
   Daniel|7:26  But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his
 dominion, to consume and to destroy [it] unto the end.
   Daniel|7:27  And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the
 kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints
 of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all
 dominions shall serve and obey him.
   Daniel|7:28  Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my
 cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept
 the matter in my heart.
   Daniel|8:1  In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision
 appeared unto me, [even unto] me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me
 at the first.
   Daniel|8:2  And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that
 I [was] at Shushan [in] the palace, which [is] in the province of Elam; and
 I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
   Daniel|8:3  Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood
 before the river a ram which had [two] horns: and the [two] horns [were]
 high; but one [was] higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

   Daniel|8:4  I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward;
 so that no beasts might stand before him, neither [was there any] that
 could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became
 great.
   Daniel|8:5  And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the
 west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the
 goat [had] a notable horn between his eyes.
   Daniel|8:6  And he came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had seen
 standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
   Daniel|8:7  And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with
 choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there
 was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the
 ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram
 out of his hand.
   Daniel|8:8  Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was
 strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones
 toward the four winds of heaven.
   Daniel|8:9  And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed
 exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the
 pleasant [land].
   Daniel|8:10  And it waxed great, [even] to the host of heaven; and it

 cast down [some] of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped
 upon them.
   Daniel|8:11  Yea, he magnified [himself] even to the prince of the host,
 and by him the daily [sacrifice] was taken away, and the place of his
 sanctuary was cast down.
   Daniel|8:12  And an host was given [him] against the daily [sacrifice] by
 reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it
 practiced, and prospered.
   Daniel|8:13  Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto
 that certain [saint] which spake, How long [shall be] the vision
 [concerning] the daily [sacrifice], and the transgression of desolation, to
 give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
   Daniel|8:14  And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred
 days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
   Daniel|8:15  And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel, had seen the
 vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as
 the appearance of a man.
   Daniel|8:16  And I heard a man's voice between [the banks of] Ulai, which
 called, and said, Gabriel, make this [man] to understand the vision.
   Daniel|8:17  So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was
 afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of

 man: for at the time of the end [shall be] the vision.
   Daniel|8:18  Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my
 face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
   Daniel|8:19  And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in
 the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end [shall
 be].
   Daniel|8:20  The ram which thou sawest having [two] horns [are] the kings
 of Media and Persia.
   Daniel|8:21  And the rough goat [is] the king of Grecia: and the great
 horn that [is] between his eyes [is] the first king.
   Daniel|8:22  Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four
 kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
   Daniel|8:23  And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the
 transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and
 understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
   Daniel|8:24  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and
 he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall
 destroy the mighty and the holy people.
   Daniel|8:25  And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper
 in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by peace
 shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;

 but he shall be broken without hand.
   Daniel|8:26  And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told
 [is] true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it [shall be] for many
 days.
   Daniel|8:27  And I Daniel fainted, and was sick [certain] days; afterward
 I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision,
 but none understood [it].
   Daniel|9:1  In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed
 of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
   Daniel|9:2  In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books
 the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the
 prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of
 Jerusalem.
   Daniel|9:3  And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and
 supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
   Daniel|9:4  And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession,
 and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and
 mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
   Daniel|9:5  We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done
 wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from
 thy judgments:

   Daniel|9:6  Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets,
 which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to
 all the people of the land.
   Daniel|9:7  O Lord, righteousness [belongeth] unto thee, but unto us
 confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the
 inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, [that are] near, and [that
 are] far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them,
 because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
   Daniel|9:8  O Lord, to us [belongeth] confusion of face, to our kings, to
 our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
   Daniel|9:9  To the Lord our God [belong] mercies and forgivenesses,
 though we have rebelled against him;
   Daniel|9:10  Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to
 walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
   Daniel|9:11  Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by
 departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is
 poured upon us, and the oath that [is] written in the law of Moses the
 servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
   Daniel|9:12  And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us,
 and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil:
 for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon

 Jerusalem.
   Daniel|9:13  As [it is] written in the law of Moses, all this evil is
 come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we
 might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
   Daniel|9:14  Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought
 it upon us: for the LORD our God [is] righteous in all his works which he
 doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
   Daniel|9:15  And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth
 out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown,
 as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
   Daniel|9:16  O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee,
 let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy
 holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers,
 Jerusalem and thy people [are become] a reproach to all [that are] about
 us.
   Daniel|9:17  Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant,
 and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that
 is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
   Daniel|9:18  O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and
 behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do
 not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for

 thy great mercies.
   Daniel|9:19  O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer
 not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called
 by thy name.
   Daniel|9:20  And whiles I [was] speaking, and praying, and confessing my
 sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before
 the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
   Daniel|9:21  Yea, whiles I [was] speaking in prayer, even the man
 Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to
 fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
   Daniel|9:22  And he informed [me], and talked with me, and said, O
 Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
   Daniel|9:23  At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came
 forth, and I am come to show [thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved:
 therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
   Daniel|9:24  Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy
 holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to
 make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting
 righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the
 most Holy.
   Daniel|9:25  Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth

 of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the
 Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street
 shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
   Daniel|9:26  And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,
 but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall
 destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a
 flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
   Daniel|9:27  And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week:
 and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation
 to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it]
 desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured
 upon the desolate.
   Daniel|10:1  In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was
 revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing
 [was] true, but the time appointed [was] long: and he understood the thing,
 and had understanding of the vision.
   Daniel|10:2  In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
   Daniel|10:3  I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my
 mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were
 fulfilled.
   Daniel|10:4  And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I

 was by the side of the great river, which [is] Hiddekel;
   Daniel|10:5  Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain
 man clothed in linen, whose loins [were] girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
   Daniel|10:6  His body also [was] like the beryl, and his face as the
 appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and
 his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like
 the voice of a multitude.
   Daniel|10:7  And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were
 with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that
 they fled to hide themselves.
   Daniel|10:8  Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and
 there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into
 corruption, and I retained no strength.
   Daniel|10:9  Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the
 voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face
 toward the ground.
   Daniel|10:10  And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees
 and [upon] the palms of my hands.
   Daniel|10:11  And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved,
 understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto
 thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood

 trembling.
   Daniel|10:12  Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first
 day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself
 before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
   Daniel|10:13  But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one
 and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help
 me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
   Daniel|10:14  Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy
 people in the latter days: for yet the vision [is] for [many] days.
   Daniel|10:15  And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face
 toward the ground, and I became dumb.
   Daniel|10:16  And, behold, [one] like the similitude of the sons of men
 touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that
 stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me,
 and I have retained no strength.
   Daniel|10:17  For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my
 lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither
 is there breath left in me.
   Daniel|10:18  Then there came again and touched me [one] like the
 appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
   Daniel|10:19  And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace [be] unto

 thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was
 strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
   Daniel|10:20  Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and
 now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone
 forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
   Daniel|10:21  But I will show thee that which is noted in the scripture
 of truth: and [there is] none that holdeth with me in these things, but
 Michael your prince.
   Daniel|11:1  Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, [even] I, stood
 to confirm and to strengthen him.
   Daniel|11:2  And now will I show thee the truth. Behold, there shall
 stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than
 [they] all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all
 against the realm of Grecia.
   Daniel|11:3  And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great
 dominion, and do according to his will.
   Daniel|11:4  And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and
 shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity,
 nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be
 plucked up, even for others beside those.
   Daniel|11:5  And the king of the south shall be strong, and [one] of his

 princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion
 [shall be] a great dominion.
   Daniel|11:6  And in the end of years they shall join themselves together;
 for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to
 make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither
 shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that
 brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in [these]
 times.
   Daniel|11:7  But out of a branch of her roots shall [one] stand up in his
 estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of
 the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
   Daniel|11:8  And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with
 their princes, [and] with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and
 he shall continue [more] years than the king of the north.
   Daniel|11:9  So the king of the south shall come into [his] kingdom, and
 shall return into his own land.
   Daniel|11:10  But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a
 multitude of great forces: and [one] shall certainly come, and overflow,
 and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, [even] to his
 fortress.
   Daniel|11:11  And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and

 shall come forth and fight with him, [even] with the king of the north: and
 he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into
 his hand.
   Daniel|11:12  [And] when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart
 shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down [many] ten thousands: but he
 shall not be strengthened [by it].
   Daniel|11:13  For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth
 a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain
 years with a great army and with much riches.
   Daniel|11:14  And in those times there shall many stand up against the
 king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to
 establish the vision; but they shall fall.
   Daniel|11:15  So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount,
 and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not
 withstand, neither his chosen people, neither [shall there be any] strength
 to withstand.
   Daniel|11:16  But he that cometh against him shall do according to his
 own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the
 glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
   Daniel|11:17  He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of
 his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he

 shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not
 stand [on his side], neither be for him.
   Daniel|11:18  After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall
 take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered
 by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause [it] to turn upon
 him.
   Daniel|11:19  Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own
 land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
   Daniel|11:20  Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes [in]
 the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed,
 neither in anger, nor in battle.
   Daniel|11:21  And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom
 they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in
 peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
   Daniel|11:22  And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from
 before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
   Daniel|11:23  And after the league [made] with him he shall work
 deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small
 people.
   Daniel|11:24  He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of
 the province; and he shall do [that] which his fathers have not done, nor

 his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and
 riches: [yea], and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds,
 even for a time.
   Daniel|11:25  And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the
 king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be
 stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not
 stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
   Daniel|11:26  Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall
 destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
   Daniel|11:27  And both these kings' hearts [shall be] to do mischief, and
 they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the
 end [shall be] at the time appointed.
   Daniel|11:28  Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and
 his heart [shall be] against the holy covenant; and he shall do [exploits],
 and return to his own land.
   Daniel|11:29  At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the
 south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
   Daniel|11:30  For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore
 he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy
 covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with
 them that forsake the holy covenant.

   Daniel|11:31  And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute
 the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily [sacrifice], and
 they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
   Daniel|11:32  And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he
 corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be
 strong, and do [exploits].
   Daniel|11:33  And they that understand among the people shall instruct
 many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by
 spoil, [many] days.
   Daniel|11:34  Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a
 little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
   Daniel|11:35  And [some] of them of understanding shall fall, to try
 them, and to purge, and to make [them] white, [even] to the time of the
 end: because [it is] yet for a time appointed.
   Daniel|11:36  And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall
 exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak
 marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the
 indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
   Daniel|11:37  Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the
 desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above
 all.

   Daniel|11:38  But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a
 god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and
 with precious stones, and pleasant things.
   Daniel|11:39  Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange
 god, whom he shall acknowledge [and] increase with glory: and he shall
 cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
   Daniel|11:40  And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push
 at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind,
 with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter
 into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
   Daniel|11:41  He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many
 [countries] shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand,
 [even] Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
   Daniel|11:42  He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries:
 and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
   Daniel|11:43  But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of
 silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the
 Ethiopians [shall be] at his steps.
   Daniel|11:44  But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall
 trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and
 utterly to make away many.

   Daniel|11:45  And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between
 the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and
 none shall help him.
   Daniel|12:1  And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince
 which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of
 trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same
 time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall
 be found written in the book.
   Daniel|12:2  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall
 awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting
 contempt.
   Daniel|12:3  And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
 firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever
 and ever.
   Daniel|12:4  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,
 [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge
 shall be increased.
   Daniel|12:5  Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two,
 the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side
 of the bank of the river.
   Daniel|12:6  And [one] said to the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon

 the waters of the river, How long [shall it be to] the end of these
 wonders?
   Daniel|12:7  And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the
 waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto
 heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a
 time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter
 the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.
   Daniel|12:8  And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord,
 what [shall be] the end of these [things]?
   Daniel|12:9  And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed
 up and sealed till the time of the end.
   Daniel|12:10  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the
 wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the
 wise shall understand.
   Daniel|12:11  And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be
 taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall
 be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
   Daniel|12:12  Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand
 three hundred and five and thirty days.
   Daniel|12:13  But go thou thy way till the end [be]: for thou shalt rest,
 and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

   Hosea|1:1  The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri,
 in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in
 the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
   Hosea|1:2  The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD
 said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of
 whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, [departing] from the
 LORD.
   Hosea|1:3  So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which
 conceived, and bare him a son.
   Hosea|1:4  And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a
 little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of
 Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
   Hosea|1:5  And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the
 bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
   Hosea|1:6  And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And [God] said
 unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the
 house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
   Hosea|1:7  But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save
 them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword,
 nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
   Hosea|1:8  Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a

 son.
   Hosea|1:9  Then said [God], Call his name Loammi: for ye [are] not my
 people, and I will not be your [God].
   Hosea|1:10  Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand
 of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to
 pass, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye [are] not my
 people, [there] it shall be said unto them, [Ye are] the sons of the living
 God.
   Hosea|1:11  Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel
 be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come
 up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezreel.
   Hosea|2:1  Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
   Hosea|2:2  Plead with your mother, plead: for she [is] not my wife,
 neither [am] I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of
 her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
   Hosea|2:3  Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was
 born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay
 her with thirst.
   Hosea|2:4  And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they [be] the
 children of whoredoms.
   Hosea|2:5  For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived

 them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that
 give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my
 drink.
   Hosea|2:6  Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and
 make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
   Hosea|2:7  And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not
 overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find [them]: then
 shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then [was it]
 better with me than now.
   Hosea|2:8  For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil,
 and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Baal.
   Hosea|2:9  Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time
 thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my
 flax [given] to cover her nakedness.
   Hosea|2:10  And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her
 lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
   Hosea|2:11  I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her
 new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
   Hosea|2:12  And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she
 hath said, These [are] my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will
 make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

   Hosea|2:13  And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she
 burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her
 jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
   Hosea|2:14  Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the
 wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
   Hosea|2:15  And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley
 of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of
 her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
   Hosea|2:16  And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, [that] thou
 shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
   Hosea|2:17  For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth,
 and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
   Hosea|2:18  And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the
 beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and [with] the creeping
 things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle
 out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
   Hosea|2:19  And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth
 thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and
 in mercies.
   Hosea|2:20  I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou
 shalt know the LORD.

   Hosea|2:21  And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the
 LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
   Hosea|2:22  And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil;
 and they shall hear Jezreel.
   Hosea|2:23  And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have
 mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to [them which
 were] not my people, Thou [art] my people; and they shall say, [Thou art]
 my God.
   Hosea|3:1  Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of
 [her] friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward
 the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
   Hosea|3:2  So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces] of silver, and
 [for] an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
   Hosea|3:3  And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou
 shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for [another] man: so
 [will] I also [be] for thee.
   Hosea|3:4  For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a
 king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image,
 and without an ephod, and [without] teraphim:
   Hosea|3:5  Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the
 LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his

 goodness in the latter days.
   Hosea|4:1  Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD
 hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because [there is] no
 truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
   Hosea|4:2  By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and
 committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
   Hosea|4:3  Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth
 therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of
 heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
   Hosea|4:4  Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people
 [are] as they that strive with the priest.
   Hosea|4:5  Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also
 shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
   Hosea|4:6  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou
 hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no
 priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also
 forget thy children.
   Hosea|4:7  As they were increased, so they sinned against me: [therefore]
 will I change their glory into shame.
   Hosea|4:8  They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on
 their iniquity.

   Hosea|4:9  And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will
 punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
   Hosea|4:10  For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit
 whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed
 to the LORD.
   Hosea|4:11  Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
   Hosea|4:12  My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff
 declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused [them] to err,
 and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
   Hosea|4:13  They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn
 incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow
 thereof [is] good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your
 spouses shall commit adultery.
   Hosea|4:14  I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom,
 nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated
 with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people [that]
 doth not understand shall fall.
   Hosea|4:15  Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, [yet] let not Judah
 offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor
 swear, The LORD liveth.
   Hosea|4:16  For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD

 will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
   Hosea|4:17  Ephraim [is] joined to idols: let him alone.
   Hosea|4:18  Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom
 continually: her rulers [with] shame do love, Give ye.
   Hosea|4:19  The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be
 ashamed because of their sacrifices.
   Hosea|5:1  Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and
 give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment [is] toward you, because ye
 have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
   Hosea|5:2  And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I
 [have been] a rebuker of them all.
   Hosea|5:3  I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O
 Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, [and] Israel is defiled.
   Hosea|5:4  They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for
 the spirit of whoredoms [is] in the midst of them, and they have not known
 the LORD.
   Hosea|5:5  And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore
 shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with
 them.
   Hosea|5:6  They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek
 the LORD; but they shall not find [him]; he hath withdrawn himself from

 them.
   Hosea|5:7  They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have
 begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their
 portions.
   Hosea|5:8  Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, [and] the trumpet in Ramah: cry
 aloud [at] Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
   Hosea|5:9  Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the
 tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
   Hosea|5:10  The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound:
 [therefore] I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
   Hosea|5:11  Ephraim [is] oppressed [and] broken in judgment, because he
 willingly walked after the commandment.
   Hosea|5:12  Therefore [will] I [be] unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the
 house of Judah as rottenness.
   Hosea|5:13  When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah [saw] his wound,
 then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not
 heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
   Hosea|5:14  For I [will be] unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion
 to the house of Judah: I, [even] I, will tear and go away; I will take
 away, and none shall rescue [him].
   Hosea|5:15  I will go [and] return to my place, till they acknowledge

 their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me
 early.
   Hosea|6:1  Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and
 he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
   Hosea|6:2  After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will
 raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
   Hosea|6:3  Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his
 going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the
 rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.
   Hosea|6:4  O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do
 unto thee? for your goodness [is] as a morning cloud, and as the early dew
 it goeth away.
   Hosea|6:5  Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain
 them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments [are as] the light [that]
 goeth forth.
   Hosea|6:6  For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of
 God more than burnt offerings.
   Hosea|6:7  But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have
 they dealt treacherously against me.
   Hosea|6:8  Gilead [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is]
 polluted with blood.

   Hosea|6:9  And as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of
 priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
   Hosea|6:10  I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there
 [is] the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
   Hosea|6:11  Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I
 returned the captivity of my people.
   Hosea|7:1  When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim
 was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood;
 and the thief cometh in, [and] the troop of robbers spoileth without.
   Hosea|7:2  And they consider not in their hearts [that] I remember all
 their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are
 before my face.
   Hosea|7:3  They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes
 with their lies.
   Hosea|7:4  They [are] all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker,
 [who] ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be
 leavened.
   Hosea|7:5  In the day of our king the princes have made [him] sick with
 bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
   Hosea|7:6  For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they
 lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth

 as a flaming fire.
   Hosea|7:7  They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges;
 all their kings are fallen: [there is] none among them that calleth unto
 me.
   Hosea|7:8  Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a
 cake not turned.
   Hosea|7:9  Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not:
 yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
   Hosea|7:10  And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do
 not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
   Hosea|7:11  Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to
 Egypt, they go to Assyria.
   Hosea|7:12  When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will
 bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their
 congregation hath heard.
   Hosea|7:13  Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto
 them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed
 them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
   Hosea|7:14  And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they
 howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, [and]
 they rebel against me.

   Hosea|7:15  Though I have bound [and] strengthened their arms, yet do
 they imagine mischief against me.
   Hosea|7:16  They return, [but] not to the most High: they are like a
 deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their
 tongue: this [shall be] their derision in the land of Egypt.
   Hosea|8:1  [Set] the trumpet to thy mouth. [He shall come] as an eagle
 against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant,
 and trespassed against my law.
   Hosea|8:2  Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
   Hosea|8:3  Israel hath cast off [the thing that is] good: the enemy shall
 pursue him.
   Hosea|8:4  They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes,
 and I knew [it] not: of their silver and their gold have they made them
 idols, that they may be cut off.
   Hosea|8:5  Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast [thee] off; mine anger is
 kindled against them: how long [will it be] ere they attain to innocency?
   Hosea|8:6  For from Israel [was] it also: the workman made it; therefore
 it [is] not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
   Hosea|8:7  For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the
 whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it
 yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.

   Hosea|8:8  Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles
 as a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure.
   Hosea|8:9  For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself:
 Ephraim hath hired lovers.
   Hosea|8:10  Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I
 gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of
 princes.
   Hosea|8:11  Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be
 unto him to sin.
   Hosea|8:12  I have written to him the great things of my law, [but] they
 were counted as a strange thing.
   Hosea|8:13  They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings,
 and eat [it; but] the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their
 iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
   Hosea|8:14  For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples;
 and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his
 cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
   Hosea|9:1  Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou
 hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every
 cornfloor.
   Hosea|9:2  The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new

 wine shall fail in her.
   Hosea|9:3  They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall
 return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.
   Hosea|9:4  They shall not offer wine [offerings] to the LORD, neither
 shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices [shall be] unto them as
 the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their
 bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
   Hosea|9:5  What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast
 of the LORD?
   Hosea|9:6  For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall
 gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their
 silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.
   Hosea|9:7  The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are
 come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man
 [is] mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
   Hosea|9:8  The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet
 [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his
 God.
   Hosea|9:9  They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of
 Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their
 sins.

   Hosea|9:10  I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your
 fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: [but] they went
 to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto [that] shame; and [their]
 abominations were according as they loved.
   Hosea|9:11  [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird,
 from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
   Hosea|9:12  Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them,
 [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yea, woe also to them when I
 depart from them!
   Hosea|9:13  Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, [is] planted in a pleasant place:
 but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
   Hosea|9:14  Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a
 miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
   Hosea|9:15  All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them:
 for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I
 will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.
   Hosea|9:16  Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear
 no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved
 [fruit] of their womb.
   Hosea|9:17  My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto
 him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

   Hosea|10:1  Israel [is] an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto
 himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the
 altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
   Hosea|10:2  Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he
 shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
   Hosea|10:3  For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared
 not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
   Hosea|10:4  They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a
 covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the
 field.
   Hosea|10:5  The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves
 of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests
 thereof [that] rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is
 departed from it.
   Hosea|10:6  It shall be also carried unto Assyria [for] a present to king
 Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own
 counsel.
   Hosea|10:7  [As for] Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the
 water.
   Hosea|10:8  The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be
 destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and

 they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
   Hosea|10:9  O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there
 they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not
 overtake them.
   Hosea|10:10  [It is] in my desire that I should chastise them; and the
 people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in
 their two furrows.
   Hosea|10:11  And Ephraim [is as] an heifer [that is] taught, [and] loveth
 to tread out [the corn]; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make
 Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, [and] Jacob shall break his clods.
   Hosea|10:12  Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up
 your fallow ground: for [it is] time to seek the LORD, till he come and
 rain righteousness upon you.
   Hosea|10:13  Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have
 eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the
 multitude of thy mighty men.
   Hosea|10:14  Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy
 fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of
 battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon [her] children.
   Hosea|10:15  So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great
 wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

   Hosea|11:1  When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my
 son out of Egypt.
   Hosea|11:2  [As] they called them, so they went from them: they
 sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
   Hosea|11:3  I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but
 they knew not that I healed them.
   Hosea|11:4  I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I
 was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat
 unto them.
   Hosea|11:5  He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian
 shall be his king, because they refused to return.
   Hosea|11:6  And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume
 his branches, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
   Hosea|11:7  And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they
 called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].
   Hosea|11:8  How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver
 thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as
 Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
   Hosea|11:9  I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not
 return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the
 midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

   Hosea|11:10  They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion:
 when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
   Hosea|11:11  They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out
 of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the
 LORD.
   Hosea|11:12  Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of
 Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the
 saints.
   Hosea|12:1  Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind:
 he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with
 the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
   Hosea|12:2  The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish
 Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense
 him.
   Hosea|12:3  He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his
 strength he had power with God:
   Hosea|12:4  Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and
 made supplication unto him: he found him [in] Bethel, and there he spake
 with us;
   Hosea|12:5  Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD [is] his memorial.
   Hosea|12:6  Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and

 wait on thy God continually.
   Hosea|12:7  [He is] a merchant, the balances of deceit [are] in his hand:
 he loveth to oppress.
   Hosea|12:8  And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out
 substance: [in] all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that
 [were] sin.
   Hosea|12:9  And I [that am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will
 yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
   Hosea|12:10  I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied
 visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
   Hosea|12:11  [Is there] iniquity [in] Gilead? surely they are vanity:
 they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars [are] as heaps in the
 furrows of the fields.
   Hosea|12:12  And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served
 for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].
   Hosea|12:13  And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and
 by a prophet was he preserved.
   Hosea|12:14  Ephraim provoked [him] to anger most bitterly: therefore
 shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return
 unto him.
   Hosea|13:1  When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel;

 but when he offended in Baal, he died.
   Hosea|13:2  And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten
 images of their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding,
 all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that
 sacrifice kiss the calves.
   Hosea|13:3  Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the
 early dew that passeth away, as the chaff [that] is driven with the
 whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
   Hosea|13:4  Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou
 shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me.
   Hosea|13:5  I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great
 drought.
   Hosea|13:6  According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were
 filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
   Hosea|13:7  Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the
 way will I observe [them]:
   Hosea|13:8  I will meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her
 whelps], and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour
 them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
   Hosea|13:9  O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] thine
 help.

   Hosea|13:10  I will be thy king: where [is any other] that may save thee
 in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and
 princes?
   Hosea|13:11  I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took [him] away in my
 wrath.
   Hosea|13:12  The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid.
   Hosea|13:13  The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he
 [is] an unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the
 breaking forth of children.
   Hosea|13:14  I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will
 redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be
 thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
   Hosea|13:15  Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind
 shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his
 spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil
 the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
   Hosea|13:16  Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against
 her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in
 pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
   Hosea|14:1  O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen
 by thine iniquity.

   Hosea|14:2  Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take
 away all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously: so will we render the
 calves of our lips.
   Hosea|14:3  Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses:
 neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, [Ye are] our gods:
 for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
   Hosea|14:4  I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for
 mine anger is turned away from him.
   Hosea|14:5  I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily,
 and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
   Hosea|14:6  His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the
 olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
   Hosea|14:7  They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall
 revive [as] the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof [shall be] as
 the wine of Lebanon.
   Hosea|14:8  Ephraim [shall say], What have I to do any more with idols? I
 have heard [him], and observed him: I [am] like a green fir tree. From me
 is thy fruit found.
   Hosea|14:9  Who [is] wise, and he shall understand these [things]?
 prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD [are] right, and
 the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

   Joel|1:1  The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
   Joel|1:2  Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the
 land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
   Joel|1:3  Tell ye your children of it, and [let] your children [tell]
 their children, and their children another generation.
   Joel|1:4  That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and
 that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which
 the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten.
   Joel|1:5  Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of
 wine, because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
   Joel|1:6  For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without
 number, whose teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth
 of a great lion.
   Joel|1:7  He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath
 made it clean bare, and cast [it] away; the branches thereof are made
 white.
   Joel|1:8  Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of
 her youth.
   Joel|1:9  The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the
 house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.
   Joel|1:10  The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is

 wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
   Joel|1:11  Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for
 the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
   Joel|1:12  The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the
 pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, [even] all the
 trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the
 sons of men.
   Joel|1:13  Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of
 the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for
 the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of
 your God.
   Joel|1:14  Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders
 [and] all the inhabitants of the land [into] the house of the LORD your
 God, and cry unto the LORD.
   Joel|1:15  Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD [is] at hand, and as
 a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
   Joel|1:16  Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy and
 gladness from the house of our God?
   Joel|1:17  The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid
 desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
   Joel|1:18  How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed,

 because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
   Joel|1:19  O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the
 pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the
 field.
   Joel|1:20  The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of
 waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the
 wilderness.
   Joel|2:1  Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy
 mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the
 LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand;
   Joel|2:2  A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of
 thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people
 and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more
 after it, [even] to the years of many generations.
   Joel|2:3  A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth:
 the land [is] as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate
 wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
   Joel|2:4  The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of horses; and as
 horsemen, so shall they run.
   Joel|2:5  Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they
 leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a

 strong people set in battle array.
   Joel|2:6  Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces
 shall gather blackness.
   Joel|2:7  They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like
 men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not
 break their ranks:
   Joel|2:8  Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in
 his path: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
   Joel|2:9  They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the
 wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the
 windows like a thief.
   Joel|2:10  The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble:
 the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their
 shining:
   Joel|2:11  And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his
 camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that executeth his word: for the
 day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
   Joel|2:12  Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye [even] to me with
 all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
   Joel|2:13  And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the
 LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of

 great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
   Joel|2:14  Who knoweth [if] he will return and repent, and leave a
 blessing behind him; [even] a meat offering and a drink offering unto the
 LORD your God?
   Joel|2:15  Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn
 assembly:
   Joel|2:16  Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the
 elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the
 bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
   Joel|2:17  Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the
 porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give
 not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them:
 wherefore should they say among the people, Where [is] their God?
   Joel|2:18  Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his
 people.
   Joel|2:19  Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I
 will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith:
 and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
   Joel|2:20  But I will remove far off from you the northern [army], and
 will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the
 east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall

 come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great
 things.
   Joel|2:21  Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do
 great things.
   Joel|2:22  Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the
 wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the
 vine do yield their strength.
   Joel|2:23  Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD
 your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will
 cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain
 in the first [month].
   Joel|2:24  And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall
 overflow with wine and oil.
   Joel|2:25  And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath
 eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great
 army which I sent among you.
   Joel|2:26  And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the
 name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
 people shall never be ashamed.
   Joel|2:27  And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and
 [that] I [am] the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never

 be ashamed.
   Joel|2:28  And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my
 spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
 your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
   Joel|2:29  And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those
 days will I pour out my spirit.
   Joel|2:30  And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth,
 blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
   Joel|2:31  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
 blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
   Joel|2:32  And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the
 name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem
 shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the
 LORD shall call.
   Joel|3:1  For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall
 bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
   Joel|3:2  I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into
 the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and
 [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and
 parted my land.
   Joel|3:3  And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for

 an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
   Joel|3:4  Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all
 the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye
 recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily will I return your recompense upon
 your own head;
   Joel|3:5  Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried
 into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
   Joel|3:6  The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have
 ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
   Joel|3:7  Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold
 them, and will return your recompense upon your own head:
   Joel|3:8  And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of
 the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people
 far off: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
   Joel|3:9  Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the
 mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
   Joel|3:10  Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into
 spears: let the weak say, I [am] strong.
   Joel|3:11  Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather
 yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come
 down, O LORD.

   Joel|3:12  Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of
 Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
   Joel|3:13  Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you
 down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness [is]
 great.
   Joel|3:14  Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day
 of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision.
   Joel|3:15  The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall
 withdraw their shining.
   Joel|3:16  The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from
 Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD [will
 be] the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
   Joel|3:17  So shall ye know that I [am] the LORD your God dwelling in
 Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no
 strangers pass through her any more.
   Joel|3:18  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the mountains
 shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the
 rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of
 the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
   Joel|3:19  Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate
 wilderness, for the violence [against] the children of Judah, because they

 have shed innocent blood in their land.
   Joel|3:20  But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation
 to generation.
   Joel|3:21  For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed: for
 the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
   Amos|1:1  The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he
 saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days
 of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the
 earthquake.
   Amos|1:2  And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice
 from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the
 top of Carmel shall wither.
   Amos|1:3  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and
 for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they have
 threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
   Amos|1:4  But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall
 devour the palaces of Benhadad.
   Amos|1:5  I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the
 inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from
 the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto
 Kir, saith the LORD.

   Amos|1:6  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for
 four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they carried
 away captive the whole captivity, to deliver [them] up to Edom:
   Amos|1:7  But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour
 the palaces thereof:
   Amos|1:8  And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that
 holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron:
 and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
   Amos|1:9  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for
 four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they delivered
 up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
   Amos|1:10  But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall
 devour the palaces thereof.
   Amos|1:11  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for
 four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because he did pursue
 his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did
 tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
   Amos|1:12  But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the
 palaces of Bozrah.
   Amos|1:13  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children
 of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof;

 because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might
 enlarge their border:
   Amos|1:14  But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall
 devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a
 tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
   Amos|1:15  And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes
 together, saith the LORD.
   Amos|2:1  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for
 four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because he burned the
 bones of the king of Edom into lime:
   Amos|2:2  But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the
 palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and]
 with the sound of the trumpet:
   Amos|2:3  And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will
 slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
   Amos|2:4  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for
 four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they have
 despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their
 lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
   Amos|2:5  But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the
 palaces of Jerusalem.

   Amos|2:6  Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and
 for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because they sold
 the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
   Amos|2:7  That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,
 and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in
 unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:
   Amos|2:8  And they lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to pledge by
 every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned [in] the house of
 their god.
   Amos|2:9  Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height [was]
 like the height of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the oaks; yet I
 destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
   Amos|2:10  Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you
 forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
   Amos|2:11  And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young
 men for Nazarites. [Is it] not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith
 the LORD.
   Amos|2:12  But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the
 prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
   Amos|2:13  Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed [that is]
 full of sheaves.

   Amos|2:14  Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the
 strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver
 himself:
   Amos|2:15  Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and [he that is]
 swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the
 horse deliver himself.
   Amos|2:16  And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee away
 naked in that day, saith the LORD.
   Amos|3:1  Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O
 children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the
 land of Egypt, saying,
   Amos|3:2  You only have I known of all the families of the earth:
 therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
   Amos|3:3  Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
   Amos|3:4  Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a
 young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
   Amos|3:5  Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin [is]
 for him? shall [one] take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing
 at all?
   Amos|3:6  Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be
 afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done [it]?

   Amos|3:7  Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his
 secret unto his servants the prophets.
   Amos|3:8  The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath
 spoken, who can but prophesy?
   Amos|3:9  Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the
 land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria,
 and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the
 midst thereof.
   Amos|3:10  For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up
 violence and robbery in their palaces.
   Amos|3:11  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary [there shall
 be] even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from
 thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
   Amos|3:12  Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth
 of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel
 be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus
 [in] a couch.
   Amos|3:13  Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord
 GOD, the God of hosts,
   Amos|3:14  That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of
 Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of

 the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
   Amos|3:15  And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and
 the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end,
 saith the LORD.
   Amos|4:1  Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that [are] in the mountain
 of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to
 their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
   Amos|4:2  The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days
 shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your
 posterity with fishhooks.
   Amos|4:3  And ye shall go out at the breaches, every [cow at that which
 is] before her; and ye shall cast [them] into the palace, saith the LORD.
   Amos|4:4  Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply
 transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes
 after three years:
   Amos|4:5  And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim
 [and] publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of
 Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
   Amos|4:6  And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your
 cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto
 me, saith the LORD.

   Amos|4:7  And also I have withholden the rain from you, when [there were]
 yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and
 caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the
 piece whereupon it rained not withered.
   Amos|4:8  So two [or] three cities wandered unto one city, to drink
 water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith
 the LORD.
   Amos|4:9  I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens
 and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the
 palmerworm devoured [them]: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the
 LORD.
   Amos|4:10  I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of
 Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your
 horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your
 nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
   Amos|4:11  I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew Sodom and
 Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have
 ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
   Amos|4:12  Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: [and] because I
 will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
   Amos|4:13  For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind,

 and declareth unto man what [is] his thought, that maketh the morning
 darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God
 of hosts, [is] his name.
   Amos|5:1  Hear ye this word which I take up against you, [even] a
 lamentation, O house of Israel.
   Amos|5:2  The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is
 forsaken upon her land; [there is] none to raise her up.
   Amos|5:3  For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out [by] a
 thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth [by] an hundred
 shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
   Amos|5:4  For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me,
 and ye shall live:
   Amos|5:5  But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to
 Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come
 to nought.
   Amos|5:6  Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire
 in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and [there be] none to quench [it]
 in Bethel.
   Amos|5:7  Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness
 in the earth,
   Amos|5:8  [Seek him] that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth

 the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night:
 that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face
 of the earth: The LORD [is] his name:
   Amos|5:9  That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the
 spoiled shall come against the fortress.
   Amos|5:10  They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him
 that speaketh uprightly.
   Amos|5:11  Forasmuch therefore as your treading [is] upon the poor, and
 ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but
 ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye
 shall not drink wine of them.
   Amos|5:12  For I know your manifold transgressions, and your mighty sins:
 they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in
 the gate [from their right].
   Amos|5:13  Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it
 [is] an evil time.
   Amos|5:14  Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD,
 the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
   Amos|5:15  Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in
 the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the
 remnant of Joseph.

   Amos|5:16  Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus;
 Wailing [shall be] in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways,
 Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are
 skilful of lamentation to wailing.
   Amos|5:17  And in all vineyards [shall be] wailing: for I will pass
 through thee, saith the LORD.
   Amos|5:18  Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end [is]
 it for you? the day of the LORD [is] darkness, and not light.
   Amos|5:19  As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went
 into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
   Amos|5:20  [Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness, and not light?
 even very dark, and no brightness in it?
   Amos|5:21  I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in
 your solemn assemblies.
   Amos|5:22  Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I
 will not accept [them]: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your
 fat beasts.
   Amos|5:23  Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not
 hear the melody of thy viols.
   Amos|5:24  But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a
 mighty stream.

   Amos|5:25  Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the
 wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
   Amos|5:26  But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your
 images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
   Amos|5:27  Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond
 Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name [is] The God of hosts.
   Amos|6:1  Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in the
 mountain of Samaria, [which are] named chief of the nations, to whom the
 house of Israel came!
   Amos|6:2  Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath
 the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [be they] better than
 these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
   Amos|6:3  Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of
 violence to come near;
   Amos|6:4  That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their
 couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the
 midst of the stall;
   Amos|6:5  That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to themselves
 instruments of music, like David;
   Amos|6:6  That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief
 ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

   Amos|6:7  Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go
 captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be
 removed.
   Amos|6:8  The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of
 hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore
 will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
   Amos|6:9  And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one
 house, that they shall die.
   Amos|6:10  And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him,
 to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that [is]
 by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet [any] with thee? and he shall
 say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of
 the name of the LORD.
   Amos|6:11  For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great
 house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
   Amos|6:12  Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there] with
 oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness
 into hemlock:
   Amos|6:13  Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not
 taken to us horns by our own strength?
   Amos|6:14  But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of

 Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from
 the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
   Amos|7:1  Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me; and, behold, he formed
 grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and,
 lo, [it was] the latter growth after the king's mowings.
   Amos|7:2  And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end of eating
 the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by
 whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.
   Amos|7:3  The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
   Amos|7:4  Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and, behold, the Lord
 GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat
 up a part.
   Amos|7:5  Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall
 Jacob arise? for he [is] small.
   Amos|7:6  The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the
 Lord GOD.
   Amos|7:7  Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall
 [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
   Amos|7:8  And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A
 plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst
 of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

   Amos|7:9  And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the
 sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the
 house of Jeroboam with the sword.
   Amos|7:10  Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of
 Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house
 of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
   Amos|7:11  For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and
 Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
   Amos|7:12  Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away
 into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
   Amos|7:13  But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it [is] the
 king's chapel, and it [is] the king's court.
   Amos|7:14  Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no prophet,
 neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an herdman, and a gatherer of
 sycamore fruit:
   Amos|7:15  And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD
 said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
   Amos|7:16  Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest,
 Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not [thy word] against the house of
 Isaac.
   Amos|7:17  Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in

 the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy
 land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and
 Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
   Amos|8:1  Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and behold a basket of
 summer fruit.
   Amos|8:2  And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of
 summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of
 Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
   Amos|8:3  And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day,
 saith the Lord GOD: [there shall be] many dead bodies in every place; they
 shall cast [them] forth with silence.
   Amos|8:4  Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the
 poor of the land to fail,
   Amos|8:5  Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?
 and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and
 the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
   Amos|8:6  That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair
 of shoes; [yea], and sell the refuse of the wheat?
   Amos|8:7  The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will
 never forget any of their works.
   Amos|8:8  Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that

 dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be
 cast out and drowned, as [by] the flood of Egypt.
   Amos|8:9  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that
 I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the
 clear day:
   Amos|8:10  And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs
 into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and
 baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only
 [son], and the end thereof as a bitter day.
   Amos|8:11  Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a
 famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of
 hearing the words of the LORD:
   Amos|8:12  And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even
 to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and
 shall not find [it].
   Amos|8:13  In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for
 thirst.
   Amos|8:14  They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O
 Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and
 never rise up again.
   Amos|9:1  I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the

 lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all
 of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of
 them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be
 delivered.
   Amos|9:2  Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them;
 though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
   Amos|9:3  And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will
 search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in
 the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite
 them:
   Amos|9:4  And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence
 will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes
 upon them for evil, and not for good.
   Amos|9:5  And the Lord GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land, and
 it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up
 wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as [by] the flood of Egypt.
   Amos|9:6  [It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath
 founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea,
 and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name.
   Amos|9:7  [Are] ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children
 of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of

 Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
   Amos|9:8  Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD [are] upon the sinful kingdom,
 and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will
 not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.
   Amos|9:9  For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel
 among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the
 least grain fall upon the earth.
   Amos|9:10  All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which
 say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
   Amos|9:11  In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is
 fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins,
 and I will build it as in the days of old:
   Amos|9:12  That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the
 heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
   Amos|9:13  Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall
 overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and
 the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
   Amos|9:14  And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel,
 and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit [them]; and they shall
 plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens,
 and eat the fruit of them.

   Amos|9:15  And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more
 be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy
 God.
   Obadiah|1:1  The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning
 Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among
 the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
   Obadiah|1:2  Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art
 greatly despised.
   Obadiah|1:3  The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that
 dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation [is] high; that saith
 in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
   Obadiah|1:4  Though thou exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though thou
 set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the
 LORD.
   Obadiah|1:5  If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou
 cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the
 grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave [some] grapes?
   Obadiah|1:6  How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his
 hidden things sought up!
   Obadiah|1:7  All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even] to
 the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and]

 prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under
 thee: [there is] none understanding in him.
   Obadiah|1:8  Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the
 wise [men] out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
   Obadiah|1:9  And thy mighty [men], O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end
 that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
   Obadiah|1:10  For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall
 cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
   Obadiah|1:11  In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day
 that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered
 into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou [wast] as one of
 them.
   Obadiah|1:12  But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy
 brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have
 rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction;
 neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
   Obadiah|1:13  Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people
 in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their
 affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid [hands] on their
 substance in the day of their calamity;
   Obadiah|1:14  Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut

 off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up
 those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
   Obadiah|1:15  For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as
 thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon
 thine own head.
   Obadiah|1:16  For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all
 the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall
 swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
   Obadiah|1:17  But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall
 be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
   Obadiah|1:18  And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of
 Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in
 them, and devour them; and there shall not be [any] remaining of the house
 of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken [it].
   Obadiah|1:19  And [they of] the south shall possess the mount of Esau;
 and [they of] the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields
 of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead.
   Obadiah|1:20  And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel
 [shall possess] that of the Canaanites, [even] unto Zarephath; and the
 captivity of Jerusalem, which [is] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of
 the south.

   Obadiah|1:21  And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount
 of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
   Jonah|1:1  Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai,
 saying,
   Jonah|1:2  Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for
 their wickedness is come up before me.
   Jonah|1:3  But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of
 the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so
 he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto
 Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
   Jonah|1:4  But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was
 a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
   Jonah|1:5  Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his
 god, and cast forth the wares that [were] in the ship into the sea, to
 lighten [it] of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship;
 and he lay, and was fast asleep.
   Jonah|1:6  So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest
 thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think
 upon us, that we perish not.
   Jonah|1:7  And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast
 lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil [is] upon us. So they cast

 lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
   Jonah|1:8  Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose
 cause this evil [is] upon us; What [is] thine occupation? and whence comest
 thou? what [is] thy country? and of what people [art] thou?
   Jonah|1:9  And he said unto them, I [am] an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD,
 the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry [land].
   Jonah|1:10  Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why
 hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the
 LORD, because he had told them.
   Jonah|1:11  Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the
 sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
   Jonah|1:12  And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the
 sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this
 great tempest [is] upon you.
   Jonah|1:13  Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring [it] to the land;
 but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
   Jonah|1:14  Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech
 thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and
 lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased
 thee.
   Jonah|1:15  So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and

 the sea ceased from her raging.
   Jonah|1:16  Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a
 sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
   Jonah|1:17  Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.
 And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
   Jonah|2:1  Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's
 belly,
   Jonah|2:2  And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD,
 and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my
 voice.
   Jonah|2:3  For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the
 seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves
 passed over me.
   Jonah|2:4  Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again
 toward thy holy temple.
   Jonah|2:5  The waters compassed me about, [even] to the soul: the depth
 closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
   Jonah|2:6  I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with
 her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from
 corruption, O LORD my God.
   Jonah|2:7  When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my

 prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
   Jonah|2:8  They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
   Jonah|2:9  But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving;
 I will pay [that] that I have vowed. Salvation [is] of the LORD.
   Jonah|2:10  And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah
 upon the dry [land].
   Jonah|3:1  And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time,
 saying,
   Jonah|3:2  Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it
 the preaching that I bid thee.
   Jonah|3:3  So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word
 of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days'
 journey.
   Jonah|3:4  And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he
 cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
   Jonah|3:5  So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast,
 and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
   Jonah|3:6  For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his
 throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered [him] with sackcloth,
 and sat in ashes.
   Jonah|3:7  And he caused [it] to be proclaimed and published through

 Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man
 nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink
 water:
   Jonah|3:8  But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry
 mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from
 the violence that [is] in their hands.
   Jonah|3:9  Who can tell [if] God will turn and repent, and turn away from
 his fierce anger, that we perish not?
   Jonah|3:10  And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil
 way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto
 them; and he did [it] not.
   Jonah|4:1  But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
   Jonah|4:2  And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD,
 [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled
 before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou [art] a gracious God, and
 merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the
 evil.
   Jonah|4:3  Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me;
 for [it is] better for me to die than to live.
   Jonah|4:4  Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
   Jonah|4:5  So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the

 city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he
 might see what would become of the city.
   Jonah|4:6  And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made [it] to come up
 over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from
 his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
   Jonah|4:7  But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day,
 and it smote the gourd that it withered.
   Jonah|4:8  And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared
 a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he
 fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, [It is] better for me to
 die than to live.
   Jonah|4:9  And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the
 gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, [even] unto death.
   Jonah|4:10  Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the
 which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a
 night, and perished in a night:
   Jonah|4:11  And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are
 more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right
 hand and their left hand; and [also] much cattle?
   Micha|1:1  The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the
 days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw

 concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
   Micha|1:2  Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein
 is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy
 temple.
   Micha|1:3  For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will
 come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
   Micha|1:4  And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys
 shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, [and] as the waters [that are]
 poured down a steep place.
   Micha|1:5  For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, and for the sins
 of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [is it] not
 Samaria? and what [are] the high places of Judah? [are they] not Jerusalem?
   Micha|1:6  Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, [and]
 as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into
 the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
   Micha|1:7  And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces,
 and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols
 thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] of the hire of an
 harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
   Micha|1:8  Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked:
 I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.

   Micha|1:9  For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is
 come unto the gate of my people, [even] to Jerusalem.
   Micha|1:10  Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house
 of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
   Micha|1:11  Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame
 naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel;
 he shall receive of you his standing.
   Micha|1:12  For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but
 evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
   Micha|1:13  O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift
 beast: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the
 transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
   Micha|1:14  Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the
 houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel.
   Micha|1:15  Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah:
 he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
   Micha|1:16  Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children;
 enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from
 thee.
   Micha|2:1  Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their
 beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the

 power of their hand.
   Micha|2:2  And they covet fields, and take [them] by violence; and
 houses, and take [them] away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a
 man and his heritage.
   Micha|2:3  Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do
 I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall
 ye go haughtily: for this time [is] evil.
   Micha|2:4  In that day shall [one] take up a parable against you, and
 lament with a doleful lamentation, [and] say, We be utterly spoiled: he
 hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed [it] from me!
 turning away he hath divided our fields.
   Micha|2:5  Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot
 in the congregation of the LORD.
   Micha|2:6  Prophesy ye not, [say they to them that] prophesy: they shall
 not prophesy to them, [that] they shall not take shame.
   Micha|2:7  O [thou that art] named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of
 the LORD straitened? [are] these his doings? do not my words do good to him
 that walketh uprightly?
   Micha|2:8  Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off
 the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse
 from war.

   Micha|2:9  The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant
 houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
   Micha|2:10  Arise ye, and depart; for this [is] not [your] rest: because
 it is polluted, it shall destroy [you], even with a sore destruction.
   Micha|2:11  If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie,
 [saying], I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall
 even be the prophet of this people.
   Micha|2:12  I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely
 gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of
 Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great
 noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
   Micha|2:13  The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and
 have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall
 pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
   Micha|3:1  And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes
 of the house of Israel; [Is it] not for you to know judgment?
   Micha|3:2  Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin
 from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
   Micha|3:3  Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from
 off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the
 pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

   Micha|3:4  Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them:
 he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved
 themselves ill in their doings.
   Micha|3:5  Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my
 people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth
 not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
   Micha|3:6  Therefore night [shall be] unto you, that ye shall not have a
 vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the
 sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
   Micha|3:7  Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded:
 yea, they shall all cover their lips; for [there is] no answer of God.
   Micha|3:8  But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of
 judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to
 Israel his sin.
   Micha|3:9  Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and
 princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all
 equity.
   Micha|3:10  They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
   Micha|3:11  The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof
 teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they
 lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the LORD among us? none evil can come

 upon us.
   Micha|3:12  Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed [as] a field,
 and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high
 places of the forest.
   Micha|4:1  But in the last days it shall come to pass, [that] the
 mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the
 mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow
 unto it.
   Micha|4:2  And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up
 to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he
 will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall
 go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
   Micha|4:3  And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong
 nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and
 their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against
 nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
   Micha|4:4  But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig
 tree; and none shall make [them] afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts
 hath spoken [it].
   Micha|4:5  For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and
 we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.

   Micha|4:6  In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth,
 and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
   Micha|4:7  And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was
 cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount
 Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
   Micha|4:8  And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the
 daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the
 kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
   Micha|4:9  Now why dost thou cry out aloud? [is there] no king in thee?
 is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in
 travail.
   Micha|4:10  Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion,
 like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and
 thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go [even] to Babylon; there
 shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of
 thine enemies.
   Micha|4:11  Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say,
 Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
   Micha|4:12  But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither
 understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into
 the floor.

   Micha|4:13  Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine
 horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces
 many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their
 substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
   Micha|5:1  Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath
 laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon
 the cheek.
   Micha|5:2  But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among
 the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that
 is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from
 everlasting.
   Micha|5:3  Therefore will he give them up, until the time [that] she
 which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall
 return unto the children of Israel.
   Micha|5:4  And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in
 the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now
 shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
   Micha|5:5  And this [man] shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall
 come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we
 raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
   Micha|5:6  And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and

 the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver [us]
 from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth
 within our borders.
   Micha|5:7  And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people
 as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not
 for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
   Micha|5:8  And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the
 midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young
 lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down,
 and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
   Micha|5:9  Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all
 thine enemies shall be cut off.
   Micha|5:10  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I
 will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy
 chariots:
   Micha|5:11  And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all
 thy strong holds:
   Micha|5:12  And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou
 shalt have no [more] soothsayers:
   Micha|5:13  Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing
 images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of

 thine hands.
   Micha|5:14  And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so
 will I destroy thy cities.
   Micha|5:15  And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the
 heathen, such as they have not heard.
   Micha|6:1  Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before
 the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
   Micha|6:2  Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong
 foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people,
 and he will plead with Israel.
   Micha|6:3  O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I
 wearied thee? testify against me.
   Micha|6:4  For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed
 thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and
 Miriam.
   Micha|6:5  O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted,
 and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that
 ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
   Micha|6:6  Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, [and] bow myself
 before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with
 calves of a year old?

   Micha|6:7  Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, [or] with ten
 thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn [for] my
 transgression, the fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
   Micha|6:8  He hath showed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the
 LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk
 humbly with thy God?
   Micha|6:9  The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city, and [the man of] wisdom
 shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
   Micha|6:10  Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the
 wicked, and the scant measure [that is] abominable?
   Micha|6:11  Shall I count [them] pure with the wicked balances, and with
 the bag of deceitful weights?
   Micha|6:12  For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the
 inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue [is] deceitful in
 their mouth.
   Micha|6:13  Therefore also will I make [thee] sick in smiting thee, in
 making [thee] desolate because of thy sins.
   Micha|6:14  Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down
 [shall be] in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not
 deliver; and [that] which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
   Micha|6:15  Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the

 olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt
 not drink wine.
   Micha|6:16  For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the
 house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a
 desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear
 the reproach of my people.
   Micha|7:1  Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer
 fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: [there is] no cluster to eat:
 my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
   Micha|7:2  The good [man] is perished out of the earth: and [there is]
 none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man
 his brother with a net.
   Micha|7:3  That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince
 asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he
 uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
   Micha|7:4  The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is
 sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation
 cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
   Micha|7:5  Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide:
 keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
   Micha|7:6  For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up

 against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's
 enemies [are] the men of his own house.
   Micha|7:7  Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God
 of my salvation: my God will hear me.
   Micha|7:8  Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall
 arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.
   Micha|7:9  I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned
 against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will
 bring me forth to the light, [and] I shall behold his righteousness.
   Micha|7:10  Then [she that is] mine enemy shall see [it], and shame shall
 cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall
 behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
   Micha|7:11  [In] the day that thy walls are to be built, [in] that day
 shall the decree be far removed.
   Micha|7:12  [In] that day [also] he shall come even to thee from Assyria,
 and [from] the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river,
 and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.
   Micha|7:13  Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them
 that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
   Micha|7:14  Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage,
 which dwell solitarily [in] the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed

 [in] Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
   Micha|7:15  According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt
 will I show unto him marvellous [things].
   Micha|7:16  The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might:
 they shall lay [their] hand upon [their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
   Micha|7:17  They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out
 of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD
 our God, and shall fear because of thee.
   Micha|7:18  Who [is] a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and
 passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth
 not his anger for ever, because he delighteth [in] mercy.
   Micha|7:19  He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will
 subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of
 the sea.
   Micha|7:20  Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the mercy to
 Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
   Nahum|1:1  The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the
 Elkoshite.
   Nahum|1:2  God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth,
 and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he
 reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.

   Nahum|1:3  The LORD [is] slow to anger, and great in power, and will not
 at all acquit [the wicked]: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in
 the storm, and the clouds [are] the dust of his feet.
   Nahum|1:4  He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the
 rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon
 languisheth.
   Nahum|1:5  The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth
 is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
   Nahum|1:6  Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the
 fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks
 are thrown down by him.
   Nahum|1:7  The LORD [is] good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and
 he knoweth them that trust in him.
   Nahum|1:8  But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the
 place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
   Nahum|1:9  What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter
 end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
   Nahum|1:10  For while [they be] folden together [as] thorns, and while
 they are drunken [as] drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully
 dry.
   Nahum|1:11  There is [one] come out of thee, that imagineth evil against

 the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
   Nahum|1:12  Thus saith the LORD; Though [they be] quiet, and likewise
 many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I
 have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
   Nahum|1:13  For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst
 thy bonds in sunder.
   Nahum|1:14  And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, [that]
 no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off
 the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art
 vile.
   Nahum|1:15  Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good
 tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform
 thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut
 off.
   Nahum|2:1  He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the
 munition, watch the way, make [thy] loins strong, fortify [thy] power
 mightily.
   Nahum|2:2  For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the
 excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred
 their vine branches.
   Nahum|2:3  The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men

 [are] in scarlet: the chariots [shall be] with flaming torches in the day
 of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
   Nahum|2:4  The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one
 against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall
 run like the lightnings.
   Nahum|2:5  He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their
 walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be
 prepared.
   Nahum|2:6  The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall
 be dissolved.
   Nahum|2:7  And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up,
 and her maids shall lead [her] as with the voice of doves, tabering upon
 their breasts.
   Nahum|2:8  But Nineveh [is] of old like a pool of water: yet they shall
 flee away. Stand, stand, [shall they cry]; but none shall look back.
   Nahum|2:9  Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for
 [there is] none end of the store [and] glory out of all the pleasant
 furniture.
   Nahum|2:10  She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and
 the knees smite together, and much pain [is] in all loins, and the faces of
 them all gather blackness.

   Nahum|2:11  Where [is] the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of
 the young lions, where the lion, [even] the old lion, walked, [and] the
 lion's whelp, and none made [them] afraid?
   Nahum|2:12  The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and
 strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens
 with ravin.
   Nahum|2:13  Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I
 will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young
 lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy
 messengers shall no more be heard.
   Nahum|3:1  Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and]
 robbery; the prey departeth not;
   Nahum|3:2  The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the
 wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
   Nahum|3:3  The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the
 glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a great number
 of carcases; and [there is] none end of [their] corpses; they stumble upon
 their corpses:
   Nahum|3:4  Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured
 harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her
 whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.

   Nahum|3:5  Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I
 will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy
 nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
   Nahum|3:6  And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee
 vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
   Nahum|3:7  And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look upon thee
 shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her?
 whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
   Nahum|3:8  Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the
 rivers, [that had] the waters round about it, whose rampart [was] the sea,
 [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
   Nahum|3:9  Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite;
 Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
   Nahum|3:10  Yet [was] she carried away, she went into captivity: her
 young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets:
 and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound
 in chains.
   Nahum|3:11  Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also
 shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
   Nahum|3:12  All thy strong holds [shall be like] fig trees with the
 firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of

 the eater.
   Nahum|3:13  Behold, thy people in the midst of thee [are] women: the
 gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall
 devour thy bars.
   Nahum|3:14  Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go
 into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brickkiln.
   Nahum|3:15  There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee
 off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the
 cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
   Nahum|3:16  Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven:
 the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
   Nahum|3:17  Thy crowned [are] as the locusts, and thy captains as the
 great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, [but] when
 the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they
 [are].
   Nahum|3:18  Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall
 dwell [in the dust]: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man
 gathereth [them].
   Nahum|3:19  [There is] no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous:
 all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon
 whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

   Habakkuk|1:1  The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
   Habakkuk|1:2  O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear!
 [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
   Habakkuk|1:3  Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause [me] to behold
 grievance? for spoiling and violence [are] before me: and there are [that]
 raise up strife and contention.
   Habakkuk|1:4  Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go
 forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong
 judgment proceedeth.
   Habakkuk|1:5  Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder
 marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye will not
 believe, though it be told [you].
   Habakkuk|1:6  For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, [that] bitter and hasty
 nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the
 dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs.
   Habakkuk|1:7  They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their
 dignity shall proceed of themselves.
   Habakkuk|1:8  Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are
 more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread
 themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the
 eagle [that] hasteth to eat.

   Habakkuk|1:9  They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up
 [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
   Habakkuk|1:10  And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall
 be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall
 heap dust, and take it.
   Habakkuk|1:11  Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over, and
 offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.
   Habakkuk|1:12  [Art] thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy
 One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O
 mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
   Habakkuk|1:13  [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst
 not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal
 treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man
 that is] more righteous than he?
   Habakkuk|1:14  And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping
 things, [that have] no ruler over them?
   Habakkuk|1:15  They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them
 in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are
 glad.
   Habakkuk|1:16  Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense
 unto their drag; because by them their portion [is] fat, and their meat

 plenteous.
   Habakkuk|1:17  Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare
 continually to slay the nations?
   Habakkuk|2:1  I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and
 will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I
 am reproved.
   Habakkuk|2:2  And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and
 make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
   Habakkuk|2:3  For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the
 end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it
 will surely come, it will not tarry.
   Habakkuk|2:4  Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in
 him: but the just shall live by his faith.
   Habakkuk|2:5  Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud
 man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and [is] as
 death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and
 heapeth unto him all people:
   Habakkuk|2:6  Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a
 taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth [that
 which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick
 clay!

   Habakkuk|2:7  Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and
 awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
   Habakkuk|2:8  Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of
 the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and [for] the violence
 of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
   Habakkuk|2:9  Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,
 that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power
 of evil!
   Habakkuk|2:10  Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many
 people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.
   Habakkuk|2:11  For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out
 of the timber shall answer it.
   Habakkuk|2:12  Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and
 stablisheth a city by iniquity!
   Habakkuk|2:13  Behold, [is it] not of the LORD of hosts that the people
 shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for
 very vanity?
   Habakkuk|2:14  For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the
 glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
   Habakkuk|2:15  Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest
 thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest look

 on their nakedness!
   Habakkuk|2:16  Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and
 let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be
 turned unto thee, and shameful spewing [shall be] on thy glory.
   Habakkuk|2:17  For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the
 spoil of beasts, [which] made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for
 the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
   Habakkuk|2:18  What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof
 hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of
 his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
   Habakkuk|2:19  Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb
 stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it [is] laid over with gold and
 silver, and [there is] no breath at all in the midst of it.
   Habakkuk|2:20  But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the earth
 keep silence before him.
   Habakkuk|3:1  A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
   Habakkuk|3:2  O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD,
 revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make
 known; in wrath remember mercy.
   Habakkuk|3:3  God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran.
 Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.

   Habakkuk|3:4  And [his] brightness was as the light; he had horns
 [coming] out of his hand: and there [was] the hiding of his power.
   Habakkuk|3:5  Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went
 forth at his feet.
   Habakkuk|3:6  He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove
 asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the
 perpetual hills did bow: his ways [are] everlasting.
   Habakkuk|3:7  I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [and] the curtains
 of the land of Midian did tremble.
   Habakkuk|3:8  Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? [was] thine
 anger against the rivers? [was] thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst
 ride upon thine horses [and] thy chariots of salvation?
   Habakkuk|3:9  Thy bow was made quite naked, [according] to the oaths of
 the tribes, [even thy] word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with
 rivers.
   Habakkuk|3:10  The mountains saw thee, [and] they trembled: the
 overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, [and]
 lifted up his hands on high.
   Habakkuk|3:11  The sun [and] moon stood still in their habitation: at the
 light of thine arrows they went, [and] at the shining of thy glittering
 spear.

   Habakkuk|3:12  Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou
 didst thresh the heathen in anger.
   Habakkuk|3:13  Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, [even]
 for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house
 of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
   Habakkuk|3:14  Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his
 villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing [was]
 as to devour the poor secretly.
   Habakkuk|3:15  Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses,
 [through] the heap of great waters.
   Habakkuk|3:16  When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the
 voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I
 might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he
 will invade them with his troops.
   Habakkuk|3:17  Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither [shall]
 fruit [be] in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields
 shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and [there
 shall be] no herd in the stalls:
   Habakkuk|3:18  Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of
 my salvation.
   Habakkuk|3:19  The LORD God [is] my strength, and he will make my feet

 like hinds' [feet], and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To
 the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
   Zephania|1:1  The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of
 Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the
 days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
   Zephania|1:2  I will utterly consume all [things] from off the land,
 saith the LORD.
   Zephania|1:3  I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of
 the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the
 wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
   Zephania|1:4  I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all
 the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from
 this place, [and] the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
   Zephania|1:5  And them that worship the host of heaven upon the
 housetops; and them that worship [and] that swear by the LORD, and that
 swear by Malcham;
   Zephania|1:6  And them that are turned back from the LORD; and [those]
 that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him.
   Zephania|1:7  Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day
 of the LORD [is] at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath
 bid his guests.

   Zephania|1:8  And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S
 sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all
 such as are clothed with strange apparel.
   Zephania|1:9  In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on
 the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
   Zephania|1:10  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD,
 [that there shall be] the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling
 from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
   Zephania|1:11  Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant
 people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
   Zephania|1:12  And it shall come to pass at that time, [that] I will
 search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their
 lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he
 do evil.
   Zephania|1:13  Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their
 houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit [them];
 and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
   Zephania|1:14  The great day of the LORD [is] near, [it is] near, and
 hasteth greatly, [even] the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man
 shall cry there bitterly.
   Zephania|1:15  That day [is] a day of wrath, a day of trouble and

 distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and
 gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
   Zephania|1:16  A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities,
 and against the high towers.
   Zephania|1:17  And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk
 like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood
 shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
   Zephania|1:18  Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to
 deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be
 devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy
 riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
   Zephania|2:1  Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation
 not desired;
   Zephania|2:2  Before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as the
 chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of
 the LORD'S anger come upon you.
   Zephania|2:3  Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have
 wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall
 be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
   Zephania|2:4  For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they
 shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

   Zephania|2:5  Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of
 the Cherethites! the word of the LORD [is] against you; O Canaan, the land
 of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no
 inhabitant.
   Zephania|2:6  And the sea coast shall be dwellings [and] cottages for
 shepherds, and folds for flocks.
   Zephania|2:7  And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of
 Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie
 down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away
 their captivity.
   Zephania|2:8  I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the
 children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified
 [themselves] against their border.
   Zephania|2:9  Therefore [as] I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
 Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as
 Gomorrah, [even] the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual
 desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of
 my people shall possess them.
   Zephania|2:10  This shall they have for their pride, because they have
 reproached and magnified [themselves] against the people of the LORD of
 hosts.

   Zephania|2:11  The LORD [will be] terrible unto them: for he will famish
 all the gods of the earth; and [men] shall worship him, every one from his
 place, [even] all the isles of the heathen.
   Zephania|2:12  Ye Ethiopians also, ye [shall be] slain by my sword.
   Zephania|2:13  And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and
 destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, [and] dry like a
 wilderness.
   Zephania|2:14  And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the
 beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in
 the upper lintels of it; [their] voice shall sing in the windows;
 desolation [shall be] in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar
 work.
   Zephania|2:15  This [is] the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that
 said in her heart, I [am], and [there is] none beside me: how is she become
 a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by
 her shall hiss, [and] wag his hand.
   Zephania|3:1  Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing
 city!
   Zephania|3:2  She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she
 trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
   Zephania|3:3  Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges

 [are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
   Zephania|3:4  Her prophets [are] light [and] treacherous persons: her
 priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
   Zephania|3:5  The just LORD [is] in the midst thereof; he will not do
 iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth
 not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
   Zephania|3:6  I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I
 made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed,
 so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
   Zephania|3:7  I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive
 instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished
 them: but they rose early, [and] corrupted all their doings.
   Zephania|3:8  Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day
 that I rise up to the prey: for my determination [is] to gather the
 nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine
 indignation, [even] all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be
 devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
   Zephania|3:9  For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that
 they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
   Zephania|3:10  From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, [even]
 the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.

   Zephania|3:11  In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings,
 wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of
 the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be
 haughty because of my holy mountain.
   Zephania|3:12  I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and
 poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
   Zephania|3:13  The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak
 lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they
 shall feed and lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid.
   Zephania|3:14  Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and
 rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
   Zephania|3:15  The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out
 thine enemy: the king of Israel, [even] the LORD, [is] in the midst of
 thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
   Zephania|3:16  In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not:
 [and to] Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
   Zephania|3:17  The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he will
 save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will
 joy over thee with singing.
   Zephania|3:18  I will gather [them that are] sorrowful for the solemn
 assembly, [who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach of it [was] a burden.

   Zephania|3:19  Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee:
 and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I
 will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to
 shame.
   Zephania|3:20  At that time will I bring you [again], even in the time
 that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people
 of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the
 LORD.
   Haggai|1:1  In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in
 the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet
 unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the
 son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
   Haggai|1:2  Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The
 time is not come, the time that the LORD'S house should be built.
   Haggai|1:3  Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
   Haggai|1:4  [Is it] time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses,
 and this house [lie] waste?
   Haggai|1:5  Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your
 ways.
   Haggai|1:6  Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have
 not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but

 there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages [to put it]
 into a bag with holes.
   Haggai|1:7  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
   Haggai|1:8  Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house;
 and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
   Haggai|1:9  Ye looked for much, and, lo, [it came] to little; and when ye
 brought [it] home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts.
 Because of mine house that [is] waste, and ye run every man unto his own
 house.
   Haggai|1:10  Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the
 earth is stayed [from] her fruit.
   Haggai|1:11  And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the
 mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and
 upon [that] which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle,
 and upon all the labour of the hands.
   Haggai|1:12  Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of
 Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the
 voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the
 LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
   Haggai|1:13  Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message
 unto the people, saying, I [am] with you, saith the LORD.

   Haggai|1:14  And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of
 Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech,
 the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they
 came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
   Haggai|1:15  In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the
 second year of Darius the king.
   Haggai|2:1  In the seventh [month], in the one and twentieth [day] of the
 month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
   Haggai|2:2  Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of
 Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the
 residue of the people, saying,
   Haggai|2:3  Who [is] left among you that saw this house in her first
 glory? and how do ye see it now? [is it] not in your eyes in comparison of
 it as nothing?
   Haggai|2:4  Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be
 strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye
 people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I [am] with you, saith
 the LORD of hosts:
   Haggai|2:5  [According to] the word that I covenanted with you when ye
 came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
   Haggai|2:6  For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it [is] a little

 while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the
 dry [land];
   Haggai|2:7  And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations
 shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Haggai|2:8  The silver [is] mine, and the gold [is] mine, saith the LORD
 of hosts.
   Haggai|2:9  The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the
 former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith
 the LORD of hosts.
   Haggai|2:10  In the four and twentieth [day] of the ninth [month], in the
 second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet,
 saying,
   Haggai|2:11  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests
 [concerning] the law, saying,
   Haggai|2:12  If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with
 his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall
 it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
   Haggai|2:13  Then said Haggai, If [one that is] unclean by a dead body
 touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said,
 It shall be unclean.
   Haggai|2:14  Then answered Haggai, and said, So [is] this people, and so

 [is] this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so [is] every work of their
 hands; and that which they offer there [is] unclean.
   Haggai|2:15  And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from
 before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
   Haggai|2:16  Since those [days] were, when [one] came to an heap of
 twenty [measures], there were [but] ten: when [one] came to the pressfat
 for to draw out fifty [vessels] out of the press, there were [but] twenty.
   Haggai|2:17  I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in
 all the labours of your hands; yet ye [turned] not to me, saith the LORD.
   Haggai|2:18  Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and
 twentieth day of the ninth [month, even] from the day that the foundation
 of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider [it].
   Haggai|2:19  Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the
 fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth:
 from this day will I bless [you].
   Haggai|2:20  And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four
 and twentieth [day] of the month, saying,
   Haggai|2:21  Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake
 the heavens and the earth;
   Haggai|2:22  And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will
 destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow

 the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders
 shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
   Haggai|2:23  In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O
 Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make
 thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Zecharia|1:1  In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the
 word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the
 prophet, saying,
   Zecharia|1:2  The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
   Zecharia|1:3  Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts;
 Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith
 the LORD of hosts.
   Zecharia|1:4  Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets
 have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your
 evil ways, and [from] your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken
 unto me, saith the LORD.
   Zecharia|1:5  Your fathers, where [are] they? and the prophets, do they
 live for ever?
   Zecharia|1:6  But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants
 the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and
 said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our

 ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
   Zecharia|1:7  Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month,
 which [is] the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of
 the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet,
 saying,
   Zecharia|1:8  I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse,
 and he stood among the myrtle trees that [were] in the bottom; and behind
 him [were there] red horses, speckled, and white.
   Zecharia|1:9  Then said I, O my lord, what [are] these? And the angel
 that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these [be].
   Zecharia|1:10  And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and
 said, These [are they] whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through
 the earth.
   Zecharia|1:11  And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among
 the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth,
 and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
   Zecharia|1:12  Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of
 hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of
 Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten
 years?
   Zecharia|1:13  And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me [with]

 good words [and] comfortable words.
   Zecharia|1:14  So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou,
 saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for
 Zion with a great jealousy.
   Zecharia|1:15  And I am very sore displeased with the heathen [that are]
 at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the
 affliction.
   Zecharia|1:16  Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem
 with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a
 line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
   Zecharia|1:17  Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities
 through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet
 comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
   Zecharia|1:18  Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four
 horns.
   Zecharia|1:19  And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What [be]
 these? And he answered me, These [are] the horns which have scattered
 Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
   Zecharia|1:20  And the LORD showed me four carpenters.
   Zecharia|1:21  Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying,
 These [are] the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift

 up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the
 Gentiles, which lifted up [their] horn over the land of Judah to scatter
 it.
   Zecharia|2:1  I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man
 with a measuring line in his hand.
   Zecharia|2:2  Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To
 measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] the breadth thereof, and what [is] the
 length thereof.
   Zecharia|2:3  And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and
 another angel went out to meet him,
   Zecharia|2:4  And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying,
 Jerusalem shall be inhabited [as] towns without walls for the multitude of
 men and cattle therein:
   Zecharia|2:5  For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire
 round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
   Zecharia|2:6  Ho, ho, [come forth], and flee from the land of the north,
 saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the
 heaven, saith the LORD.
   Zecharia|2:7  Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter
 of Babylon.
   Zecharia|2:8  For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he

 sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you
 toucheth the apple of his eye.
   Zecharia|2:9  For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they
 shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of
 hosts hath sent me.
   Zecharia|2:10  Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and
 I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
   Zecharia|2:11  And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day,
 and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou
 shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
   Zecharia|2:12  And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy
 land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
   Zecharia|2:13  Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised
 up out of his holy habitation.
   Zecharia|3:1  And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the
 angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
   Zecharia|3:2  And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O
 Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: [is] not this
 a brand plucked out of the fire?
   Zecharia|3:3  Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood
 before the angel.

   Zecharia|3:4  And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him,
 saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said,
 Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe
 thee with change of raiment.
   Zecharia|3:5  And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So
 they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the
 angel of the LORD stood by.
   Zecharia|3:6  And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
   Zecharia|3:7  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways,
 and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and
 shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these
 that stand by.
   Zecharia|3:8  Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows
 that sit before thee: for they [are] men wondered at: for, behold, I will
 bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
   Zecharia|3:9  For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon
 one stone [shall be] seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving
 thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that
 land in one day.
   Zecharia|3:10  In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every
 man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.

   Zecharia|4:1  And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me,
 as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
   Zecharia|4:2  And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have
 looked, and behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of
 it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which
 [are] upon the top thereof:
   Zecharia|4:3  And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the
 bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof.
   Zecharia|4:4  So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me,
 saying, What [are] these, my lord?
   Zecharia|4:5  Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto
 me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
   Zecharia|4:6  Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the
 word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but
 by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Zecharia|4:7  Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou
 shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof
 with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it.
   Zecharia|4:8  Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Zecharia|4:9  The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this
 house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of

 hosts hath sent me unto you.
   Zecharia|4:10  For who hath despised the day of small things? for they
 shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with]
 those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through
 the whole earth.
   Zecharia|4:11  Then answered I, and said unto him, What [are] these two
 olive trees upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon the left
 [side] thereof?
   Zecharia|4:12  And I answered again, and said unto him, What [be these]
 two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden
 [oil] out of themselves?
   Zecharia|4:13  And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these
 [be]? And I said, No, my lord.
   Zecharia|4:14  Then said he, These [are] the two anointed ones, that
 stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
   Zecharia|5:1  Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and
 behold a flying roll.
   Zecharia|5:2  And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see
 a flying roll; the length thereof [is] twenty cubits, and the breadth
 thereof ten cubits.
   Zecharia|5:3  Then said he unto me, This [is] the curse that goeth forth

 over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut
 off [as] on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be
 cut off [as] on that side according to it.
   Zecharia|5:4  I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it
 shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that
 sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house,
 and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
   Zecharia|5:5  Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said
 unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what [is] this that goeth forth.
   Zecharia|5:6  And I said, What [is] it? And he said, This [is] an ephah
 that goeth forth. He said moreover, This [is] their resemblance through all
 the earth.
   Zecharia|5:7  And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this
 [is] a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
   Zecharia|5:8  And he said, This [is] wickedness. And he cast it into the
 midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
   Zecharia|5:9  Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there
 came out two women, and the wind [was] in their wings; for they had wings
 like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth
 and the heaven.
   Zecharia|5:10  Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do

 these bear the ephah?
   Zecharia|5:11  And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of
 Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
   Zecharia|6:1  And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and,
 behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the
 mountains [were] mountains of brass.
   Zecharia|6:2  In the first chariot [were] red horses; and in the second
 chariot black horses;
   Zecharia|6:3  And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth
 chariot grisled and bay horses.
   Zecharia|6:4  Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with
 me, What [are] these, my lord?
   Zecharia|6:5  And the angel answered and said unto me, These [are] the
 four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord
 of all the earth.
   Zecharia|6:6  The black horses which [are] therein go forth into the
 north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth
 toward the south country.
   Zecharia|6:7  And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might
 walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and
 fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.

   Zecharia|6:8  Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold,
 these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north
 country.
   Zecharia|6:9  And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
   Zecharia|6:10  Take of [them of] the captivity, [even] of Heldai, of
 Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the
 same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
   Zecharia|6:11  Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set [them]
 upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
   Zecharia|6:12  And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of
 hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name [is] The BRANCH; and he shall grow
 up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
   Zecharia|6:13  Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall
 bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a
 priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them
 both.
   Zecharia|6:14  And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to
 Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of
 the LORD.
   Zecharia|6:15  And they [that are] far off shall come and build in the
 temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me

 unto you. And [this] shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the
 voice of the LORD your God.
   Zecharia|7:1  And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius,
 [that] the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth [day] of the
 ninth month, [even] in Chisleu;
   Zecharia|7:2  When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and
 Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
   Zecharia|7:3  [And] to speak unto the priests which [were] in the house
 of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the
 fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
   Zecharia|7:4  Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
   Zecharia|7:5  Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests,
 saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh [month], even
 those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, [even] to me?
   Zecharia|7:6  And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat
 [for yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?
   Zecharia|7:7  [Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD hath cried
 by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and
 the cities thereof round about her, when [men] inhabited the south and the
 plain?
   Zecharia|7:8  And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,

   Zecharia|7:9  Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true
 judgment, and show mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
   Zecharia|7:10  And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the
 stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his
 brother in your heart.
   Zecharia|7:11  But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder,
 and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
   Zecharia|7:12  Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest
 they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent
 in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the
 LORD of hosts.
   Zecharia|7:13  Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried, and they
 would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of
 hosts:
   Zecharia|7:14  But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the
 nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no
 man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
   Zecharia|8:1  Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying,
   Zecharia|8:2  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with
 great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
   Zecharia|8:3  Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will

 dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of
 truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
   Zecharia|8:4  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and
 old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff
 in his hand for very age.
   Zecharia|8:5  And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls
 playing in the streets thereof.
   Zecharia|8:6  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the
 eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be
 marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
   Zecharia|8:7  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people
 from the east country, and from the west country;
   Zecharia|8:8  And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of
 Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth
 and in righteousness.
   Zecharia|8:9  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye
 that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which
 [were] in the day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts
 was laid, that the temple might be built.
   Zecharia|8:10  For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any
 hire for beast; neither [was there any] peace to him that went out or came

 in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his
 neighbour.
   Zecharia|8:11  But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue of this people
 as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Zecharia|8:12  For the seed [shall be] prosperous; the vine shall give
 her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall
 give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all
 these [things].
   Zecharia|8:13  And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse among
 the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and
 ye shall be a blessing: fear not, [but] let your hands be strong.
   Zecharia|8:14  For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish
 you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I
 repented not:
   Zecharia|8:15  So again have I thought in these days to do well unto
 Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
   Zecharia|8:16  These [are] the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every
 man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in
 your gates:
   Zecharia|8:17  And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against
 his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these [are things] that I

 hate, saith the LORD.
   Zecharia|8:18  And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
   Zecharia|8:19  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth
 [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the
 fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and
 cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
   Zecharia|8:20  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; [It shall] yet [come to
 pass], that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
   Zecharia|8:21  And the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another,
 saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of
 hosts: I will go also.
   Zecharia|8:22  Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the
 LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
   Zecharia|8:23  Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days [it shall come
 to pass], that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations,
 even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go
 with you: for we have heard [that] God [is] with you.
   Zecharia|9:1  The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach,
 and Damascus [shall be] the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all
 the tribes of Israel, [shall be] toward the LORD.
   Zecharia|9:2  And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon,

 though it be very wise.
   Zecharia|9:3  And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up
 silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
   Zecharia|9:4  Behold, the Lord will cast her out, and he will smite her
 power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
   Zecharia|9:5  Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gaza also [shall see
 it], and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be
 ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be
 inhabited.
   Zecharia|9:6  And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the
 pride of the Philistines.
   Zecharia|9:7  And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his
 abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, [shall
 be] for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a
 Jebusite.
   Zecharia|9:8  And I will encamp about mine house because of the army,
 because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no
 oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine
 eyes.
   Zecharia|9:9  Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of
 Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having

 salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an
 ass.
   Zecharia|9:10  And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse
 from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak
 peace unto the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea [even] to sea,
 and from the river [even] to the ends of the earth.
   Zecharia|9:11  As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent
 forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein [is] no water.
   Zecharia|9:12  Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to
 day do I declare [that] I will render double unto thee;
   Zecharia|9:13  When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with
 Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and
 made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
   Zecharia|9:14  And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall
 go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and
 shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
   Zecharia|9:15  The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall
 devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a
 noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, [and] as the
 corners of the altar.
   Zecharia|9:16  And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the

 flock of his people: for they [shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted
 up as an ensign upon his land.
   Zecharia|9:17  For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his
 beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
   Zecharia|10:1  Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain;
 [so] the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to
 every one grass in the field.
   Zecharia|10:2  For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have
 seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore
 they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no
 shepherd.
   Zecharia|10:3  Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I
 punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house
 of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
   Zecharia|10:4  Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out
 of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
   Zecharia|10:5  And they shall be as mighty [men], which tread down [their
 enemies] in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight,
 because the LORD [is] with them, and the riders on horses shall be
 confounded.
   Zecharia|10:6  And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save

 the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have
 mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I
 [am] the LORD their God, and will hear them.
   Zecharia|10:7  And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty [man], and
 their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see
 [it], and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
   Zecharia|10:8  I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed
 them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
   Zecharia|10:9  And I will sow them among the people: and they shall
 remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and
 turn again.
   Zecharia|10:10  I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,
 and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of
 Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them.
   Zecharia|10:11  And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and
 shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry
 up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of
 Egypt shall depart away.
   Zecharia|10:12  And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall
 walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
   Zecharia|11:1  Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy

 cedars.
   Zecharia|11:2  Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the
 mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the
 vintage is come down.
   Zecharia|11:3  [There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for
 their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the
 pride of Jordan is spoiled.
   Zecharia|11:4  Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the
 slaughter;
   Zecharia|11:5  Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not
 guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD; for I am rich:
 and their own shepherds pity them not.
   Zecharia|11:6  For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith
 the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's
 hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out
 of their hand I will not deliver [them].
   Zecharia|11:7  And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor
 of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and
 the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
   Zecharia|11:8  Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul
 loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

   Zecharia|11:9  Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it
 die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest
 eat every one the flesh of another.
   Zecharia|11:10  And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder,
 that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
   Zecharia|11:11  And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the
 flock that waited upon me knew that it [was] the word of the LORD.
   Zecharia|11:12  And I said unto them, If ye think good, give [me] my
 price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of
 silver.
   Zecharia|11:13  And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a
 goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces]
 of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
   Zecharia|11:14  Then I cut asunder mine other staff, [even] Bands, that I
 might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
   Zecharia|11:15  And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
 instruments of a foolish shepherd.
   Zecharia|11:16  For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, [which]
 shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one,
 still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in
 pieces.

   Zecharia|11:17  Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the
 sword [shall be] upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be
 clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
   Zecharia|12:1  The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the
 LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the
 earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
   Zecharia|12:2  Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all
 the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah
 [and] against Jerusalem.
   Zecharia|12:3  And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone
 for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces,
 though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
   Zecharia|12:4  In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with
 astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon
 the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with
 blindness.
   Zecharia|12:5  And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The
 inhabitants of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the LORD of hosts their
 God.
   Zecharia|12:6  In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an
 hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and

 they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the
 left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in
 Jerusalem.
   Zecharia|12:7  The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that
 the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem do not magnify [themselves] against Judah.
   Zecharia|12:8  In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of
 Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David;
 and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before
 them.
   Zecharia|12:9  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek
 to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
   Zecharia|12:10  And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the
 inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and
 they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for
 him, as one mourneth for [his] only [son], and shall be in bitterness for
 him, as one that is in bitterness for [his] firstborn.
   Zecharia|12:11  In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem,
 as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
   Zecharia|12:12  And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family
 of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house

 of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
   Zecharia|12:13  The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives
 apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
   Zecharia|12:14  All the families that remain, every family apart, and
 their wives apart.
   Zecharia|13:1  In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house
 of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
   Zecharia|13:2  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of
 hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and
 they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and
 the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
   Zecharia|13:3  And it shall come to pass, [that] when any shall yet
 prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him,
 Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and
 his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he
 prophesieth.
   Zecharia|13:4  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets
 shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither
 shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
   Zecharia|13:5  But he shall say, I [am] no prophet, I [am] an husbandman;
 for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

   Zecharia|13:6  And [one] shall say unto him, What [are] these wounds in
 thine hands? Then he shall answer, [Those] with which I was wounded [in]
 the house of my friends.
   Zecharia|13:7  Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man
 [that is] my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the
 sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
   Zecharia|13:8  And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, saith
 the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall
 be left therein.
   Zecharia|13:9  And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will
 refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they
 shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people:
 and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God.
   Zecharia|14:1  Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be
 divided in the midst of thee.
   Zecharia|14:2  For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;
 and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished;
 and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the
 people shall not be cut off from the city.
   Zecharia|14:3  Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those
 nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

   Zecharia|14:4  And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of
 Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives
 shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and
 there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove
 toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
   Zecharia|14:5  And ye shall flee [to] the valley of the mountains; for
 the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like
 as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:
 and the LORD my God shall come, [and] all the saints with thee.
   Zecharia|14:6  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the light
 shall not be clear, [nor] dark:
   Zecharia|14:7  But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD,
 not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, [that] at evening time it
 shall be light.
   Zecharia|14:8  And it shall be in that day, [that] living waters shall go
 out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them
 toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
   Zecharia|14:9  And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day
 shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
   Zecharia|14:10  All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to
 Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her

 place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the
 corner gate, and [from] the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
   Zecharia|14:11  And [men] shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more
 utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
   Zecharia|14:12  And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will
 smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall
 consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume
 away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
   Zecharia|14:13  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a great
 tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one
 on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand
 of his neighbour.
   Zecharia|14:14  And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth
 of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and
 silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
   Zecharia|14:15  And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of
 the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these
 tents, as this plague.
   Zecharia|14:16  And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left
 of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year
 to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of

 tabernacles.
   Zecharia|14:17  And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up of [all]
 the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of
 hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
   Zecharia|14:18  And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that
 [have] no [rain]; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite
 the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
   Zecharia|14:19  This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment
 of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
   Zecharia|14:20  In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses,
 HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the
 bowls before the altar.
   Zecharia|14:21  Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be
 holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and
 take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more
 the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|1:1  The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
   Malachi|1:2  I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast
 thou loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved
 Jacob,
   Malachi|1:3  And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage

 waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
   Malachi|1:4  Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return
 and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall
 build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of
 wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for
 ever.
   Malachi|1:5  And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be
 magnified from the border of Israel.
   Malachi|1:6  A son honoureth [his] father, and a servant his master: if
 then I [be] a father, where [is] mine honour? and if I [be] a master, where
 [is] my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my
 name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
   Malachi|1:7  Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein
 have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD [is]
 contemptible.
   Malachi|1:8  And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, [is it] not evil?
 and if ye offer the lame and sick, [is it] not evil? offer it now unto thy
 governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the
 LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|1:9  And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious
 unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith

 the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|1:10  Who [is there] even among you that would shut the doors
 [for nought]? neither do ye kindle [fire] on mine altar for nought. I have
 no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an
 offering at your hand.
   Malachi|1:11  For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of
 the same my name [shall be] great among the Gentiles; and in every place
 incense [shall be] offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name
 [shall be] great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|1:12  But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the
 LORD [is] polluted; and the fruit thereof, [even] his meat, [is]
 contemptible.
   Malachi|1:13  Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness [is it]! and ye have
 snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought [that which was]
 torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I
 accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.
   Malachi|1:14  But cursed [be] the deceiver, which hath in his flock a
 male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I [am]
 a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name [is] dreadful among the
 heathen.
   Malachi|2:1  And now, O ye priests, this commandment [is] for you.

   Malachi|2:2  If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay [it] to heart,
 to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a
 curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them
 already, because ye do not lay [it] to heart.
   Malachi|2:3  Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your
 faces, [even] the dung of your solemn feasts; and [one] shall take you away
 with it.
   Malachi|2:4  And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto
 you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|2:5  My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them
 to him [for] the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my
 name.
   Malachi|2:6  The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not
 found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many
 away from iniquity.
   Malachi|2:7  For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should
 seek the law at his mouth: for he [is] the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|2:8  But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to
 stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD
 of hosts.
   Malachi|2:9  Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before

 all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been
 partial in the law.
   Malachi|2:10  Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us?
 why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning
 the covenant of our fathers?
   Malachi|2:11  Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is
 committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness
 of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
   Malachi|2:12  The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master
 and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an
 offering unto the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|2:13  And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD
 with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth
 not the offering any more, or receiveth [it] with good will at your hand.
   Malachi|2:14  Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness
 between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt
 treacherously: yet [is] she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
   Malachi|2:15  And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the
 spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take
 heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of
 his youth.

   Malachi|2:16  For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth
 putting away: for [one] covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD
 of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not
 treacherously.
   Malachi|2:17  Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say,
 Wherein have we wearied [him]? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil [is]
 good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where [is]
 the God of judgment?
   Malachi|3:1  Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the
 way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his
 temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he
 shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|3:2  But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand
 when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers'
 soap:
   Malachi|3:3  And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and
 he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that
 they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
   Malachi|3:4  Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant
 unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
   Malachi|3:5  And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a

 swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and
 against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in
 [his] wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the
 stranger [from his right], and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|3:6  For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of
 Jacob are not consumed.
   Malachi|3:7  Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from
 mine ordinances, and have not kept [them]. Return unto me, and I will
 return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we
 return?
   Malachi|3:8  Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say,
 Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
   Malachi|3:9  Ye [are] cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, [even]
 this whole nation.
   Malachi|3:10  Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may
 be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts,
 if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing,
 that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].
   Malachi|3:11  And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall
 not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her
 fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

   Malachi|3:12  And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a
 delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|3:13  Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet
 ye say, What have we spoken [so much] against thee?
   Malachi|3:14  Ye have said, It [is] vain to serve God: and what profit
 [is it] that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully
 before the LORD of hosts?
   Malachi|3:15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work
 wickedness are set up; yea, [they that] tempt God are even delivered.
   Malachi|3:16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another:
 and the LORD hearkened, and heard [it], and a book of remembrance was
 written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his
 name.
   Malachi|3:17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that
 day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his
 own son that serveth him.
   Malachi|3:18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and
 the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
   Malachi|4:1  For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and
 all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day
 that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall

 leave them neither root nor branch.
   Malachi|4:2  But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of
 righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and
 grow up as calves of the stall.
   Malachi|4:3  And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes
 under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the
 LORD of hosts.
   Malachi|4:4  Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded
 unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments.
   Malachi|4:5  Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming
 of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
   Malachi|4:6  And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children,
 and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the
 earth with a curse.
   Matthew|1:1  The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of
 David, the son of Abraham.
   Matthew|1:2  Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat
 Judas and his brethren;
   Matthew|1:3  And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat
 Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
   Matthew|1:4  And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and

 Naasson begat Salmon;
   Matthew|1:5  And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of
 Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
   Matthew|1:6  And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat
 Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Urias;
   Matthew|1:7  And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia
 begat Asa;
   Matthew|1:8  And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram
 begat Ozias;
   Matthew|1:9  And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz
 begat Ezekias;
   Matthew|1:10  And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and
 Amon begat Josias;
   Matthew|1:11  And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time
 they were carried away to Babylon:
   Matthew|1:12  And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat
 Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
   Matthew|1:13  And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and
 Eliakim begat Azor;
   Matthew|1:14  And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim
 begat Eliud;

   Matthew|1:15  And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and
 Matthan begat Jacob;
   Matthew|1:16  And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was
 born Jesus, who is called Christ.
   Matthew|1:17  So all the generations from Abraham to David [are] fourteen
 generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon [are]
 fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ
 [are] fourteen generations.
   Matthew|1:18  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his
 mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was
 found with child of the Holy Ghost.
   Matthew|1:19  Then Joseph her husband, being a just [man], and not
 willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
   Matthew|1:20  But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of
 the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David,
 fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in
 her is of the Holy Ghost.
   Matthew|1:21  And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his
 name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
   Matthew|1:22  Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
 spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

   Matthew|1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth
 a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is,
 God with us.
   Matthew|1:24  Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the
 Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
   Matthew|1:25  And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn
 son: and he called his name JESUS.
   Matthew|2:1  Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days
 of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
   Matthew|2:2  Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we
 have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
   Matthew|2:3  When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was
 troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
   Matthew|2:4  And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes
 of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
   Matthew|2:5  And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it
 is written by the prophet,
   Matthew|2:6  And thou Bethlehem, [in] the land of Juda, art not the least
 among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that
 shall rule my people Israel.
   Matthew|2:7  Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men,

 inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
   Matthew|2:8  And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search
 diligently for the young child; and when ye have found [him], bring me word
 again, that I may come and worship him also.
   Matthew|2:9  When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the
 star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood
 over where the young child was.
   Matthew|2:10  When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great
 joy.
   Matthew|2:11  And when they were come into the house, they saw the young
 child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when
 they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and
 frankincense, and myrrh.
   Matthew|2:12  And being warned of God in a dream that they should not
 return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
   Matthew|2:13  And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord
 appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and
 his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word:
 for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
   Matthew|2:14  When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by
 night, and departed into Egypt:

   Matthew|2:15  And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be
 fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt
 have I called my son.
   Matthew|2:16  Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men,
 was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in
 Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under,
 according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.
   Matthew|2:17  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
 prophet, saying,
   Matthew|2:18  In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping,
 and great mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children, and would not be
 comforted, because they are not.
   Matthew|2:19  But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord
 appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
   Matthew|2:20  Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and
 go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young
 child's life.
   Matthew|2:21  And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and
 came into the land of Israel.
   Matthew|2:22  But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the
 room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding,

 being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
   Matthew|2:23  And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it
 might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a
 Nazarene.
   Matthew|3:1  In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the
 wilderness of Judaea,
   Matthew|3:2  And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
   Matthew|3:3  For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias,
 saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of
 the Lord, make his paths straight.
   Matthew|3:4  And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a
 leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
   Matthew|3:5  Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the
 region round about Jordan,
   Matthew|3:6  And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
   Matthew|3:7  But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to
 his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you
 to flee from the wrath to come?
   Matthew|3:8  Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
   Matthew|3:9  And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to
 [our] father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise

 up children unto Abraham.
   Matthew|3:10  And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees:
 therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and
 cast into the fire.
   Matthew|3:11  I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he
 that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to
 bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and [with] fire:
   Matthew|3:12  Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge
 his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the
 chaff with unquenchable fire.
   Matthew|3:13  Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
 baptized of him.
   Matthew|3:14  But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of
 thee, and comest thou to me?
   Matthew|3:15  And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer [it to be so]
 now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered
 him.
   Matthew|3:16  And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of
 the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit
 of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
   Matthew|3:17  And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son,

 in whom I am well pleased.
   Matthew|4:1  Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to
 be tempted of the devil.
   Matthew|4:2  And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
 afterward an hungered.
   Matthew|4:3  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the
 Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
   Matthew|4:4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live
 by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
   Matthew|4:5  Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth
 him on a pinnacle of the temple,
   Matthew|4:6  And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
 down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:
 and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash
 thy foot against a stone.
   Matthew|4:7  Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not
 tempt the Lord thy God.
   Matthew|4:8  Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
 mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of
 them;
   Matthew|4:9  And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if

 thou wilt fall down and worship me.
   Matthew|4:10  Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
 written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
 serve.
   Matthew|4:11  Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
 ministered unto him.
   Matthew|4:12  Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he
 departed into Galilee;
   Matthew|4:13  And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which
 is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
   Matthew|4:14  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
 prophet, saying,
   Matthew|4:15  The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the
 way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
   Matthew|4:16  The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to
 them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
   Matthew|4:17  From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent:
 for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
   Matthew|4:18  And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren,
 Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for
 they were fishers.

   Matthew|4:19  And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you
 fishers of men.
   Matthew|4:20  And they straightway left [their] nets, and followed him.
   Matthew|4:21  And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James
 [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their
 father, mending their nets; and he called them.
   Matthew|4:22  And they immediately left the ship and their father, and
 followed him.
   Matthew|4:23  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
 synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner
 of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
   Matthew|4:24  And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought
 unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments,
 and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic,
 and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
   Matthew|4:25  And there followed him great multitudes of people from
 Galilee, and [from] Decapolis, and [from] Jerusalem, and [from] Judaea, and
 [from] beyond Jordan.
   Matthew|5:1  And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and
 when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
   Matthew|5:2  And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

   Matthew|5:3  Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom
 of heaven.
   Matthew|5:4  Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
   Matthew|5:5  Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
   Matthew|5:6  Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after
 righteousness: for they shall be filled.
   Matthew|5:7  Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
   Matthew|5:8  Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
   Matthew|5:9  Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the
 children of God.
   Matthew|5:10  Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness'
 sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
   Matthew|5:11  Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute
 [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
   Matthew|5:12  Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward
 in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
   Matthew|5:13  Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his
 savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing,
 but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
   Matthew|5:14  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an
 hill cannot be hid.

   Matthew|5:15  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel,
 but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
   Matthew|5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
 good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
   Matthew|5:17  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the
 prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
   Matthew|5:18  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one
 jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
 fulfilled.
   Matthew|5:19  Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
 commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
 kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall
 be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
   Matthew|5:20  For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall
 exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no
 case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
   Matthew|5:21  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou
 shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the
 judgment:
   Matthew|5:22  But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his
 brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever

 shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but
 whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
   Matthew|5:23  Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there
 rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
   Matthew|5:24  Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way;
 first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
   Matthew|5:25  Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the
 way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and
 the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
   Matthew|5:26  Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out
 thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
   Matthew|5:27  Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou
 shalt not commit adultery:
   Matthew|5:28  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to
 lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
   Matthew|5:29  And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast
 [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
 should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
   Matthew|5:30  And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast
 [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members
 should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.

   Matthew|5:31  It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let
 him give her a writing of divorcement:
   Matthew|5:32  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife,
 saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and
 whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
   Matthew|5:33  Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old
 time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord
 thine oaths:
   Matthew|5:34  But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven;
 for it is God's throne:
   Matthew|5:35  Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by
 Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
   Matthew|5:36  Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst
 not make one hair white or black.
   Matthew|5:37  But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for
 whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
   Matthew|5:38  Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye,
 and a tooth for a tooth:
   Matthew|5:39  But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
 shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
   Matthew|5:40  And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy

 coat, let him have [thy] cloak also.
   Matthew|5:41  And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
 twain.
   Matthew|5:42  Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would
 borrow of thee turn not thou away.
   Matthew|5:43  Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
 neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
   Matthew|5:44  But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that
 curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
 despitefully use you, and persecute you;
   Matthew|5:45  That ye may be the children of your Father which is in
 heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and
 sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
   Matthew|5:46  For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do
 not even the publicans the same?
   Matthew|5:47  And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than
 others]? do not even the publicans so?
   Matthew|5:48  Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
 heaven is perfect.
   Matthew|6:1  Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of
 them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

   Matthew|6:2  Therefore when thou doest [thine] alms, do not sound a
 trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the
 streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have
 their reward.
   Matthew|6:3  But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what
 thy right hand doeth:
   Matthew|6:4  That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth
 in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
   Matthew|6:5  And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
 [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners
 of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They
 have their reward.
   Matthew|6:6  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
 thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy
 Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
   Matthew|6:7  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen
 [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
   Matthew|6:8  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth
 what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
   Matthew|6:9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in
 heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

   Matthew|6:10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in
 heaven.
   Matthew|6:11  Give us this day our daily bread.
   Matthew|6:12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
   Matthew|6:13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
 For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
   Matthew|6:14  For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
 Father will also forgive you:
   Matthew|6:15  But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will
 your Father forgive your trespasses.
   Matthew|6:16  Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad
 countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men
 to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
   Matthew|6:17  But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash
 thy face;
   Matthew|6:18  That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father
 which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward
 thee openly.
   Matthew|6:19  Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
 and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
   Matthew|6:20  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where

 neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through
 nor steal:
   Matthew|6:21  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
   Matthew|6:22  The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be
 single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
   Matthew|6:23  But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
 darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
 [is] that darkness!
   Matthew|6:24  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the
 one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
 other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
   Matthew|6:25  Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life,
 what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye
 shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
   Matthew|6:26  Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do
 they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
 Are ye not much better than they?
   Matthew|6:27  Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
 stature?
   Matthew|6:28  And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
 the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

   Matthew|6:29  And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory
 was not arrayed like one of these.
   Matthew|6:30  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which
 to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more
 [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
   Matthew|6:31  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,
 What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
   Matthew|6:32  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
 heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
   Matthew|6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
 righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
   Matthew|6:34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow
 shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day [is]
 the evil thereof.
   Matthew|7:1  Judge not, that ye be not judged.
   Matthew|7:2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and
 with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
   Matthew|7:3  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's
 eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
   Matthew|7:4  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the
 mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?

   Matthew|7:5  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own
 eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
 brother's eye.
   Matthew|7:6  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye
 your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn
 again and rend you.
   Matthew|7:7  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
 knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
   Matthew|7:8  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
 findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
   Matthew|7:9  Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will
 he give him a stone?
   Matthew|7:10  Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
   Matthew|7:11  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto
 your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good
 things to them that ask him?
   Matthew|7:12  Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do
 to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
   Matthew|7:13  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and
 broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go
 in thereat:

   Matthew|7:14  Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way,
 which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
   Matthew|7:15  Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
 clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
   Matthew|7:16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
 thorns, or figs of thistles?
   Matthew|7:17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
 corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
   Matthew|7:18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a
 corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
   Matthew|7:19  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
 and cast into the fire.
   Matthew|7:20  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
   Matthew|7:21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter
 into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which
 is in heaven.
   Matthew|7:22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
 prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy
 name done many wonderful works?
   Matthew|7:23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
 from me, ye that work iniquity.

   Matthew|7:24  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and
 doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a
 rock:
   Matthew|7:25  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
 blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a
 rock.
   Matthew|7:26  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth
 them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon
 the sand:
   Matthew|7:27  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds
 blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
   Matthew|7:28  And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings,
 the people were astonished at his doctrine:
   Matthew|7:29  For he taught them as [one] having authority, and not as
 the scribes.
   Matthew|8:1  When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes
 followed him.
   Matthew|8:2  And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying,
 Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
   Matthew|8:3  And Jesus put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I
 will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

   Matthew|8:4  And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy
 way, show thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded,
 for a testimony unto them.
   Matthew|8:5  And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto
 him a centurion, beseeching him,
   Matthew|8:6  And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the
 palsy, grievously tormented.
   Matthew|8:7  And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
   Matthew|8:8  The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that
 thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant
 shall be healed.
   Matthew|8:9  For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me:
 and I say to this [man], Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he
 cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
   Matthew|8:10  When Jesus heard [it], he marvelled, and said to them that
 followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not
 in Israel.
   Matthew|8:11  And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and
 west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom
 of heaven.
   Matthew|8:12  But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into

 outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
   Matthew|8:13  And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou
 hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the
 selfsame hour.
   Matthew|8:14  And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his
 wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
   Matthew|8:15  And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she
 arose, and ministered unto them.
   Matthew|8:16  When the even was come, they brought unto him many that
 were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with [his] word,
 and healed all that were sick:
   Matthew|8:17  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
 prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare [our] sicknesses.
   Matthew|8:18  Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave
 commandment to depart unto the other side.
   Matthew|8:19  And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I
 will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
   Matthew|8:20  And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the
 birds of the air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay
 [his] head.
   Matthew|8:21  And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me

 first to go and bury my father.
   Matthew|8:22  But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury
 their dead.
   Matthew|8:23  And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed
 him.
   Matthew|8:24  And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea,
 insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
   Matthew|8:25  And his disciples came to [him], and awoke him, saying,
 Lord, save us: we perish.
   Matthew|8:26  And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little
 faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a
 great calm.
   Matthew|8:27  But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this,
 that even the winds and the sea obey him!
   Matthew|8:28  And when he was come to the other side into the country of
 the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the
 tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
   Matthew|8:29  And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do
 with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us
 before the time?
   Matthew|8:30  And there was a good way off from them an herd of many

 swine feeding.
   Matthew|8:31  So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out,
 suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
   Matthew|8:32  And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out,
 they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran
 violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
   Matthew|8:33  And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the
 city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the
 devils.
   Matthew|8:34  And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and
 when they saw him, they besought [him] that he would depart out of their
 coasts.
   Matthew|9:1  And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into
 his own city.
   Matthew|9:2  And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy,
 lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the
 palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
   Matthew|9:3  And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves,
 This [man] blasphemeth.
   Matthew|9:4  And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye
 evil in your hearts?

   Matthew|9:5  For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee;
 or to say, Arise, and walk?
   Matthew|9:6  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth
 to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up
 thy bed, and go unto thine house.
   Matthew|9:7  And he arose, and departed to his house.
   Matthew|9:8  But when the multitude saw [it], they marvelled, and
 glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
   Matthew|9:9  And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named
 Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow
 me. And he arose, and followed him.
   Matthew|9:10  And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house,
 behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his
 disciples.
   Matthew|9:11  And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his
 disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
   Matthew|9:12  But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that
 be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
   Matthew|9:13  But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy,
 and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to
 repentance.

   Matthew|9:14  Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we
 and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
   Matthew|9:15  And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the
 bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days
 will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall
 they fast.
   Matthew|9:16  No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment,
 for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the
 rent is made worse.
   Matthew|9:17  Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the
 bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they
 put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
   Matthew|9:18  While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a
 certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead:
 but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
   Matthew|9:19  And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his
 disciples.
   Matthew|9:20  And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of
 blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment:
   Matthew|9:21  For she said within herself, If I may but touch his
 garment, I shall be whole.

   Matthew|9:22  But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said,
 Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman
 was made whole from that hour.
   Matthew|9:23  And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the
 minstrels and the people making a noise,
   Matthew|9:24  He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead,
 but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
   Matthew|9:25  But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took
 her by the hand, and the maid arose.
   Matthew|9:26  And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
   Matthew|9:27  And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him,
 crying, and saying, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on us.
   Matthew|9:28  And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to
 him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They
 said unto him, Yea, Lord.
   Matthew|9:29  Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith
 be it unto you.
   Matthew|9:30  And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged
 them, saying, See [that] no man know [it].
   Matthew|9:31  But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame
 in all that country.

   Matthew|9:32  As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man
 possessed with a devil.
   Matthew|9:33  And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the
 multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
   Matthew|9:34  But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the
 prince of the devils.
   Matthew|9:35  And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching
 in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing
 every sickness and every disease among the people.
   Matthew|9:36  But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with
 compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as
 sheep having no shepherd.
   Matthew|9:37  Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly [is]
 plenteous, but the labourers [are] few;
   Matthew|9:38  Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will
 send forth labourers into his harvest.
   Matthew|10:1  And when he had called unto [him] his twelve disciples, he
 gave them power [against] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal
 all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
   Matthew|10:2  Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first,
 Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James [the son] of

 Zebedee, and John his brother;
   Matthew|10:3  Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
 James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
   Matthew|10:4  Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed
 him.
   Matthew|10:5  These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying,
 Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans
 enter ye not:
   Matthew|10:6  But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
   Matthew|10:7  And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
 hand.
   Matthew|10:8  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
 devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
   Matthew|10:9  Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
   Matthew|10:10  Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither
 shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
   Matthew|10:11  And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire
 who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
   Matthew|10:12  And when ye come into an house, salute it.
   Matthew|10:13  And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it:
 but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

   Matthew|10:14  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words,
 when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
   Matthew|10:15  Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the
 land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
   Matthew|10:16  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves:
 be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
   Matthew|10:17  But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
 councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
   Matthew|10:18  And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my
 sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
   Matthew|10:19  But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what
 ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall
 speak.
   Matthew|10:20  For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
 which speaketh in you.
   Matthew|10:21  And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and
 the father the child: and the children shall rise up against [their]
 parents, and cause them to be put to death.
   Matthew|10:22  And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but
 he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
   Matthew|10:23  But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into

 another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities
 of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
   Matthew|10:24  The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the servant
 above his lord.
   Matthew|10:25  It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master,
 and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house
 Beelzebub, how much more [shall they call] them of his household?
   Matthew|10:26  Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered,
 that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
   Matthew|10:27  What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light: and
 what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops.
   Matthew|10:28  And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to
 kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and
 body in hell.
   Matthew|10:29  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
 shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
   Matthew|10:30  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
   Matthew|10:31  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
 sparrows.
   Matthew|10:32  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will
 I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

   Matthew|10:33  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also
 deny before my Father which is in heaven.
   Matthew|10:34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came
 not to send peace, but a sword.
   Matthew|10:35  For I am come to set a man at variance against his father,
 and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her
 mother in law.
   Matthew|10:36  And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
   Matthew|10:37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy
 of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
   Matthew|10:38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me,
 is not worthy of me.
   Matthew|10:39  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth
 his life for my sake shall find it.
   Matthew|10:40  He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth
 me receiveth him that sent me.
   Matthew|10:41  He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall
 receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the
 name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
   Matthew|10:42  And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little
 ones a cup of cold [water] only in the name of a disciple, verily I say

 unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
   Matthew|11:1  And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of
 commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach
 in their cities.
   Matthew|11:2  Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ,
 he sent two of his disciples,
   Matthew|11:3  And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we
 look for another?
   Matthew|11:4  Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and show John again
 those things which ye do hear and see:
   Matthew|11:5  The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the
 lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the
 poor have the gospel preached to them.
   Matthew|11:6  And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.
   Matthew|11:7  And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the
 multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A
 reed shaken with the wind?
   Matthew|11:8  But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
 raiment? behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings' houses.
   Matthew|11:9  But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto
 you, and more than a prophet.

   Matthew|11:10  For this is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
 messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
   Matthew|11:11  Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women
 there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he
 that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
   Matthew|11:12  And from the days of John the Baptist until now the
 kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
   Matthew|11:13  For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
   Matthew|11:14  And if ye will receive [it], this is Elias, which was for
 to come.
   Matthew|11:15  He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
   Matthew|11:16  But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like
 unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
   Matthew|11:17  And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not
 danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
   Matthew|11:18  For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say,
 He hath a devil.
   Matthew|11:19  The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say,
 Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and
 sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
   Matthew|11:20  Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his

 mighty works were done, because they repented not:
   Matthew|11:21  Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if
 the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
 they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
   Matthew|11:22  But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre
 and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
   Matthew|11:23  And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt
 be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in
 thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
   Matthew|11:24  But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for
 the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
   Matthew|11:25  At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O
 Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from
 the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
   Matthew|11:26  Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
   Matthew|11:27  All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
 knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save
 the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son will reveal [him].
   Matthew|11:28  Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden,
 and I will give you rest.
   Matthew|11:29  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and

 lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
   Matthew|11:30  For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
   Matthew|12:1  At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the
 corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of
 corn, and to eat.
   Matthew|12:2  But when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto him,
 Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath
 day.
   Matthew|12:3  But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did,
 when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
   Matthew|12:4  How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the
 showbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were
 with him, but only for the priests?
   Matthew|12:5  Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath
 days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
   Matthew|12:6  But I say unto you, That in this place is [one] greater
 than the temple.
   Matthew|12:7  But if ye had known what [this] meaneth, I will have mercy,
 and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
   Matthew|12:8  For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
   Matthew|12:9  And when he was departed thence, he went into their

 synagogue:
   Matthew|12:10  And, behold, there was a man which had [his] hand
 withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath
 days? that they might accuse him.
   Matthew|12:11  And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you,
 that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day,
 will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?
   Matthew|12:12  How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it
 is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
   Matthew|12:13  Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he
 stretched [it] forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
   Matthew|12:14  Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against
 him, how they might destroy him.
   Matthew|12:15  But when Jesus knew [it], he withdrew himself from thence:
 and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
   Matthew|12:16  And charged them that they should not make him known:
   Matthew|12:17  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
 prophet, saying,
   Matthew|12:18  Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom
 my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show
 judgment to the Gentiles.

   Matthew|12:19  He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear
 his voice in the streets.
   Matthew|12:20  A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall
 he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
   Matthew|12:21  And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
   Matthew|12:22  Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil,
 blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both
 spake and saw.
   Matthew|12:23  And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the
 son of David?
   Matthew|12:24  But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This
 [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the
 devils.
   Matthew|12:25  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every
 kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or
 house divided against itself shall not stand:
   Matthew|12:26  And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against
 himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
   Matthew|12:27  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
 children cast [them] out? therefore they shall be your judges.
   Matthew|12:28  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the

 kingdom of God is come unto you.
   Matthew|12:29  Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and
 spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will
 spoil his house.
   Matthew|12:30  He that is not with me is against me; and he that
 gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
   Matthew|12:31  Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy
 shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy [against] the [Holy] Ghost
 shall not be forgiven unto men.
   Matthew|12:32  And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it
 shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it
 shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the [world] to
 come.
   Matthew|12:33  Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else
 make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by
 [his] fruit.
   Matthew|12:34  O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good
 things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
   Matthew|12:35  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth
 forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth
 evil things.

   Matthew|12:36  But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall
 speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
   Matthew|12:37  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words
 thou shalt be condemned.
   Matthew|12:38  Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered,
 saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
   Matthew|12:39  But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous
 generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it,
 but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
   Matthew|12:40  For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the
 whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in
 the heart of the earth.
   Matthew|12:41  The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this
 generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of
 Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
   Matthew|12:42  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with
 this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost
 parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater
 than Solomon [is] here.
   Matthew|12:43  When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
 through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

   Matthew|12:44  Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I
 came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished.
   Matthew|12:45  Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits
 more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last
 [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto
 this wicked generation.
   Matthew|12:46  While he yet talked to the people, behold, [his] mother
 and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
   Matthew|12:47  Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy
 brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
   Matthew|12:48  But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my
 mother? and who are my brethren?
   Matthew|12:49  And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and
 said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
   Matthew|12:50  For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in
 heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
   Matthew|13:1  The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the
 sea side.
   Matthew|13:2  And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so
 that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the
 shore.

   Matthew|13:3  And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying,
 Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
   Matthew|13:4  And when he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and
 the fowls came and devoured them up:
   Matthew|13:5  Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth:
 and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
   Matthew|13:6  And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because
 they had no root, they withered away.
   Matthew|13:7  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and
 choked them:
   Matthew|13:8  But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit,
 some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
   Matthew|13:9  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
   Matthew|13:10  And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest
 thou unto them in parables?
   Matthew|13:11  He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto
 you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not
 given.
   Matthew|13:12  For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall
 have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away
 even that he hath.

   Matthew|13:13  Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing
 see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
   Matthew|13:14  And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which
 saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye
 shall see, and shall not perceive:
   Matthew|13:15  For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears
 are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they
 should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, and should
 understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal
 them.
   Matthew|13:16  But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears,
 for they hear.
   Matthew|13:17  For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and
 righteous [men] have desired to see [those things] which ye see, and have
 not seen [them]; and to hear [those things] which ye hear, and have not
 heard [them].
   Matthew|13:18  Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
   Matthew|13:19  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and
 understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away
 that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way
 side.

   Matthew|13:20  But he that received the seed into stony places, the same
 is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
   Matthew|13:21  Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while:
 for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by
 he is offended.
   Matthew|13:22  He also that received seed among the thorns is he that
 heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of
 riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
   Matthew|13:23  But he that received seed into the good ground is he that
 heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and
 bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
   Matthew|13:24  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The
 kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
   Matthew|13:25  But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among
 the wheat, and went his way.
   Matthew|13:26  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit,
 then appeared the tares also.
   Matthew|13:27  So the servants of the householder came and said unto him,
 Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it
 tares?
   Matthew|13:28  He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants

 said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
   Matthew|13:29  But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye
 root up also the wheat with them.
   Matthew|13:30  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time
 of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares,
 and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
   Matthew|13:31  Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The
 kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and
 sowed in his field:
   Matthew|13:32  Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is
 grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the
 birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
   Matthew|13:33  Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven
 is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal,
 till the whole was leavened.
   Matthew|13:34  All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in
 parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
   Matthew|13:35  That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
 prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things
 which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
   Matthew|13:36  Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the

 house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable
 of the tares of the field.
   Matthew|13:37  He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good
 seed is the Son of man;
   Matthew|13:38  The field is the world; the good seed are the children of
 the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one];
   Matthew|13:39  The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the
 end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
   Matthew|13:40  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the
 fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
   Matthew|13:41  The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall
 gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do
 iniquity;
   Matthew|13:42  And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be
 wailing and gnashing of teeth.
   Matthew|13:43  Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the
 kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
   Matthew|13:44  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in
 a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof
 goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
   Matthew|13:45  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man,

 seeking goodly pearls:
   Matthew|13:46  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and
 sold all that he had, and bought it.
   Matthew|13:47  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was
 cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
   Matthew|13:48  Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down,
 and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
   Matthew|13:49  So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall
 come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
   Matthew|13:50  And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall
 be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
   Matthew|13:51  Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these
 things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
   Matthew|13:52  Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe [which is]
 instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an
 householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure [things] new and old.
   Matthew|13:53  And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these
 parables, he departed thence.
   Matthew|13:54  And when he was come into his own country, he taught them
 in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence
 hath this [man] this wisdom, and [these] mighty works?

   Matthew|13:55  Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called
 Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
   Matthew|13:56  And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then
 hath this [man] all these things?
   Matthew|13:57  And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A
 prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own
 house.
   Matthew|13:58  And he did not many mighty works there because of their
 unbelief.
   Matthew|14:1  At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
   Matthew|14:2  And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is
 risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in
 him.
   Matthew|14:3  For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put
 [him] in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
   Matthew|14:4  For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have
 her.
   Matthew|14:5  And when he would have put him to death, he feared the
 multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
   Matthew|14:6  But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of
 Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

   Matthew|14:7  Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever
 she would ask.
   Matthew|14:8  And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give
 me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
   Matthew|14:9  And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake,
 and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded [it] to be given [her].
   Matthew|14:10  And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
   Matthew|14:11  And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the
 damsel: and she brought [it] to her mother.
   Matthew|14:12  And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried
 it, and went and told Jesus.
   Matthew|14:13  When Jesus heard [of it], he departed thence by ship into
 a desert place apart: and when the people had heard [thereof], they
 followed him on foot out of the cities.
   Matthew|14:14  And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was
 moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
   Matthew|14:15  And when it was evening, his disciples came to him,
 saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the
 multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves
 victuals.
   Matthew|14:16  But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye

 them to eat.
   Matthew|14:17  And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and
 two fishes.
   Matthew|14:18  He said, Bring them hither to me.
   Matthew|14:19  And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass,
 and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he
 blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to [his] disciples, and the
 disciples to the multitude.
   Matthew|14:20  And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of
 the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
   Matthew|14:21  And they that had eaten were about five thousand men,
 beside women and children.
   Matthew|14:22  And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get
 into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the
 multitudes away.
   Matthew|14:23  And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into
 a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there
 alone.
   Matthew|14:24  But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with
 waves: for the wind was contrary.
   Matthew|14:25  And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them,

 walking on the sea.
   Matthew|14:26  And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they
 were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
   Matthew|14:27  But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good
 cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
   Matthew|14:28  And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid
 me come unto thee on the water.
   Matthew|14:29  And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the
 ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
   Matthew|14:30  But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and
 beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
   Matthew|14:31  And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and
 caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou
 doubt?
   Matthew|14:32  And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
   Matthew|14:33  Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him,
 saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
   Matthew|14:34  And when they were gone over, they came into the land of
 Gennesaret.
   Matthew|14:35  And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they
 sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that

 were diseased;
   Matthew|14:36  And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his
 garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
   Matthew|15:1  Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of
 Jerusalem, saying,
   Matthew|15:2  Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the
 elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
   Matthew|15:3  But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also
 transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
   Matthew|15:4  For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother:
 and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
   Matthew|15:5  But ye say, Whosoever shall say to [his] father or [his]
 mother, [It is] a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
   Matthew|15:6  And honour not his father or his mother, [he shall be
 free]. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your
 tradition.
   Matthew|15:7  [Ye] hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
   Matthew|15:8  This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and
 honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
   Matthew|15:9  But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines
 the commandments of men.

   Matthew|15:10  And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and
 understand:
   Matthew|15:11  Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but
 that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
   Matthew|15:12  Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou
 that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
   Matthew|15:13  But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly
 Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
   Matthew|15:14  Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if
 the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
   Matthew|15:15  Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us
 this parable.
   Matthew|15:16  And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
   Matthew|15:17  Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at
 the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
   Matthew|15:18  But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth
 from the heart; and they defile the man.
   Matthew|15:19  For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders,
 adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
   Matthew|15:20  These are [the things] which defile a man: but to eat with
 unwashen hands defileth not a man.

   Matthew|15:21  Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of
 Tyre and Sidon.
   Matthew|15:22  And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same
 coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] son of
 David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
   Matthew|15:23  But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
 besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
   Matthew|15:24  But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost
 sheep of the house of Israel.
   Matthew|15:25  Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
   Matthew|15:26  But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the
 children's bread, and cast [it] to dogs.
   Matthew|15:27  And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs
 which fall from their masters' table.
   Matthew|15:28  Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is]
 thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made
 whole from that very hour.
   Matthew|15:29  And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea
 of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
   Matthew|15:30  And great multitudes came unto him, having with them
 [those that were] lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them

 down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
   Matthew|15:31  Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the
 dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to
 see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
   Matthew|15:32  Then Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and said, I
 have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three
 days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest
 they faint in the way.
   Matthew|15:33  And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so
 much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
   Matthew|15:34  And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And
 they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
   Matthew|15:35  And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
   Matthew|15:36  And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave
 thanks, and brake [them], and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to
 the multitude.
   Matthew|15:37  And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of
 the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets full.
   Matthew|15:38  And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women
 and children.
   Matthew|15:39  And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came

 into the coasts of Magdala.
   Matthew|16:1  The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting
 desired him that he would show them a sign from heaven.
   Matthew|16:2  He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say,
 [It will be] fair weather: for the sky is red.
   Matthew|16:3  And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day: for
 the sky is red and lowering. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of
 the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?
   Matthew|16:4  A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign;
 and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet
 Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
   Matthew|16:5  And when his disciples were come to the other side, they
 had forgotten to take bread.
   Matthew|16:6  Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the
 leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
   Matthew|16:7  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because
 we have taken no bread.
   Matthew|16:8  [Which] when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of
 little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no
 bread?
   Matthew|16:9  Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves

 of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
   Matthew|16:10  Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how
 many baskets ye took up?
   Matthew|16:11  How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not
 to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the
 Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
   Matthew|16:12  Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of
 the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the
 Sadducees.
   Matthew|16:13  When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he
 asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
   Matthew|16:14  And they said, Some [say that thou art] John the Baptist:
 some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
   Matthew|16:15  He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
   Matthew|16:16  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,
 the Son of the living God.
   Matthew|16:17  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou,
 Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my
 Father which is in heaven.
   Matthew|16:18  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon
 this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail

 against it.
   Matthew|16:19  And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of
 heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
 and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
   Matthew|16:20  Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man
 that he was Jesus the Christ.
   Matthew|16:21  From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his
 disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of
 the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised
 again the third day.
   Matthew|16:22  Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be
 it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
   Matthew|16:23  But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me,
 Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that
 be of God, but those that be of men.
   Matthew|16:24  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any [man] will come
 after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
   Matthew|16:25  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and
 whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
   Matthew|16:26  For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole
 world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his

 soul?
   Matthew|16:27  For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father
 with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
   Matthew|16:28  Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which
 shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his
 kingdom.
   Matthew|17:1  And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his
 brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
   Matthew|17:2  And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as
 the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
   Matthew|17:3  And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias
 talking with him.
   Matthew|17:4  Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good
 for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one
 for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
   Matthew|17:5  While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed
 them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved
 Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
   Matthew|17:6  And when the disciples heard [it], they fell on their face,
 and were sore afraid.
   Matthew|17:7  And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be

 not afraid.
   Matthew|17:8  And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man,
 save Jesus only.
   Matthew|17:9  And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged
 them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen
 again from the dead.
   Matthew|17:10  And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the
 scribes that Elias must first come?
   Matthew|17:11  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall
 first come, and restore all things.
   Matthew|17:12  But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they
 knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall
 also the Son of man suffer of them.
   Matthew|17:13  Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of
 John the Baptist.
   Matthew|17:14  And when they were come to the multitude, there came to
 him a [certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
   Matthew|17:15  Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is a lunatic, and sore
 vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
   Matthew|17:16  And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not
 cure him.

   Matthew|17:17  Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse
 generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?
 bring him hither to me.
   Matthew|17:18  And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him:
 and the child was cured from that very hour.
   Matthew|17:19  Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why
 could not we cast him out?
   Matthew|17:20  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for
 verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye
 shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall
 remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
   Matthew|17:21  Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
   Matthew|17:22  And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The
 Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
   Matthew|17:23  And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be
 raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
   Matthew|17:24  And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received
 tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
   Matthew|17:25  He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus
 prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of
 the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

   Matthew|17:26  Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him,
 Then are the children free.
   Matthew|17:27  Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to
 the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and
 when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that
 take, and give unto them for me and thee.
   Matthew|18:1  At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who
 is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
   Matthew|18:2  And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in
 the midst of them,
   Matthew|18:3  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted,
 and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of
 heaven.
   Matthew|18:4  Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little
 child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
   Matthew|18:5  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name
 receiveth me.
   Matthew|18:6  But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which
 believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about
 his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
   Matthew|18:7  Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs

 be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
   Matthew|18:8  Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them
 off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life
 halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into
 everlasting fire.
   Matthew|18:9  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it]
 from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather
 than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
   Matthew|18:10  Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
 for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face
 of my Father which is in heaven.
   Matthew|18:11  For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
   Matthew|18:12  How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of
 them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into
 the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
   Matthew|18:13  And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he
 rejoiceth more of that [sheep], than of the ninety and nine which went not
 astray.
   Matthew|18:14  Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in
 heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
   Matthew|18:15  Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go

 and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee,
 thou hast gained thy brother.
   Matthew|18:16  But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or
 two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be
 established.
   Matthew|18:17  And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell [it] unto the
 church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as a
 heathen man and a publican.
   Matthew|18:18  Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth
 shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be
 loosed in heaven.
   Matthew|18:19  Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on
 earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them
 of my Father which is in heaven.
   Matthew|18:20  For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
 there am I in the midst of them.
   Matthew|18:21  Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
 brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
   Matthew|18:22  Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven
 times: but, Until seventy times seven.
   Matthew|18:23  Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain

 king, which would take account of his servants.
   Matthew|18:24  And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him,
 which owed him ten thousand talents.
   Matthew|18:25  But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him
 to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to
 be made.
   Matthew|18:26  The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him,
 saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
   Matthew|18:27  Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion,
 and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
   Matthew|18:28  But the same servant went out, and found one of his
 fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him,
 and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
   Matthew|18:29  And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought
 him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
   Matthew|18:30  And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till
 he should pay the debt.
   Matthew|18:31  So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were
 very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
   Matthew|18:32  Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto
 him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou

 desiredst me:
   Matthew|18:33  Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
 fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
   Matthew|18:34  And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the
 tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
   Matthew|18:35  So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if
 ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
   Matthew|19:1  And it came to pass, [that] when Jesus had finished these
 sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea
 beyond Jordan;
   Matthew|19:2  And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them
 there.
   Matthew|19:3  The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying
 unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
   Matthew|19:4  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that
 he which made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
   Matthew|19:5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and
 mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
   Matthew|19:6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What
 therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
   Matthew|19:7  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a

 writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
   Matthew|19:8  He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your
 hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was
 not so.
   Matthew|19:9  And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
 except [it be] for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth
 adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
   Matthew|19:10  His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so
 with [his] wife, it is not good to marry.
   Matthew|19:11  But he said unto them, All [men] cannot receive this
 saying, save [they] to whom it is given.
   Matthew|19:12  For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from
 [their] mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs
 of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the
 kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive
 [it].
   Matthew|19:13  Then were there brought unto him little children, that he
 should put [his] hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
   Matthew|19:14  But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them
 not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
   Matthew|19:15  And he laid [his] hands on them, and departed thence.

   Matthew|19:16  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what
 good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
   Matthew|19:17  And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is]
 none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep
 the commandments.
   Matthew|19:18  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no
 murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt
 not bear false witness,
   Matthew|19:19  Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love
 thy neighbour as thyself.
   Matthew|19:20  The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept
 from my youth up: what lack I yet?
   Matthew|19:21  Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and]
 sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
 heaven: and come [and] follow me.
   Matthew|19:22  But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
 sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
   Matthew|19:23  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you,
 That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
   Matthew|19:24  And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go
 through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom

 of God.
   Matthew|19:25  When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly
 amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
   Matthew|19:26  But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this
 is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
   Matthew|19:27  Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have
 forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
   Matthew|19:28  And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye
 which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit
 in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging
 the twelve tribes of Israel.
   Matthew|19:29  And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or
 sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my
 name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting
 life.
   Matthew|19:30  But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last
 [shall be] first.
   Matthew|20:1  For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an
 householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his
 vineyard.
   Matthew|20:2  And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a

 day, he sent them into his vineyard.
   Matthew|20:3  And he went out about the third hour, and saw others
 standing idle in the marketplace,
   Matthew|20:4  And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and
 whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
   Matthew|20:5  Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did
 likewise.
   Matthew|20:6  And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others
 standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
   Matthew|20:7  They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith
 unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, [that]
 shall ye receive.
   Matthew|20:8  So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto
 his steward, Call the labourers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from
 the last unto the first.
   Matthew|20:9  And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh
 hour, they received every man a penny.
   Matthew|20:10  But when the first came, they supposed that they should
 have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
   Matthew|20:11  And when they had received [it], they murmured against the
 goodman of the house,

   Matthew|20:12  Saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour, and thou
 hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the
 day.
   Matthew|20:13  But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee
 no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
   Matthew|20:14  Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give unto
 this last, even as unto thee.
   Matthew|20:15  Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?
 Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
   Matthew|20:16  So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many
 be called, but few chosen.
   Matthew|20:17  And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples
 apart in the way, and said unto them,
   Matthew|20:18  Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
 betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall
 condemn him to death,
   Matthew|20:19  And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to
 scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise again.
   Matthew|20:20  Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her
 sons, worshipping [him], and desiring a certain thing of him.
   Matthew|20:21  And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him,

 Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the
 other on the left, in thy kingdom.
   Matthew|20:22  But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are
 ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with
 the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
   Matthew|20:23  And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup,
 and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my
 right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but [it shall be given to
 them] for whom it is prepared of my Father.
   Matthew|20:24  And when the ten heard [it], they were moved with
 indignation against the two brethren.
   Matthew|20:25  But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Ye know that
 the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are
 great exercise authority upon them.
   Matthew|20:26  But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be
 great among you, let him be your minister;
   Matthew|20:27  And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your
 servant:
   Matthew|20:28  Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but
 to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
   Matthew|20:29  And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude

 followed him.
   Matthew|20:30  And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when
 they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O
 Lord, [thou] son of David.
   Matthew|20:31  And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold
 their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord,
 [thou] son of David.
   Matthew|20:32  And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What
 will ye that I shall do unto you?
   Matthew|20:33  They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
   Matthew|20:34  So Jesus had compassion [on them], and touched their eyes:
 and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
   Matthew|21:1  And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to
 Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
   Matthew|21:2  Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and
 straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them],
 and bring [them] unto me.
   Matthew|21:3  And if any [man] say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord
 hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
   Matthew|21:4  All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was
 spoken by the prophet, saying,

   Matthew|21:5  Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto
 thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
   Matthew|21:6  And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
   Matthew|21:7  And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
 clothes, and they set [him] thereon.
   Matthew|21:8  And a very great multitude spread their garments in the
 way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strowed [them] in the
 way.
   Matthew|21:9  And the multitudes that went before, and that followed,
 cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed [is] he that cometh in
 the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
   Matthew|21:10  And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was
 moved, saying, Who is this?
   Matthew|21:11  And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of
 Nazareth of Galilee.
   Matthew|21:12  And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all
 them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
 moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
   Matthew|21:13  And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be
 called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
   Matthew|21:14  And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and

 he healed them.
   Matthew|21:15  And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful
 things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying,
 Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
   Matthew|21:16  And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus
 saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and
 sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
   Matthew|21:17  And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany;
 and he lodged there.
   Matthew|21:18  Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he
 hungered.
   Matthew|21:19  And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and
 found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow
 on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
   Matthew|21:20  And when the disciples saw [it], they marvelled, saying,
 How soon is the fig tree withered away!
   Matthew|21:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you,
 If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this [which is done]
 to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
 removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
   Matthew|21:22  And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer,

 believing, ye shall receive.
   Matthew|21:23  And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests
 and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By
 what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
   Matthew|21:24  And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you
 one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what
 authority I do these things.
   Matthew|21:25  The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of
 men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From
 heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
   Matthew|21:26  But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all
 hold John as a prophet.
   Matthew|21:27  And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he
 said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
   Matthew|21:28  But what think ye? A [certain] man had two sons; and he
 came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
   Matthew|21:29  He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he
 repented, and went.
   Matthew|21:30  And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he
 answered and said, I [go], sir: and went not.
   Matthew|21:31  Whether of them twain did the will of [his] father? They

 say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That
 the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
   Matthew|21:32  For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye
 believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye,
 when ye had seen [it], repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
   Matthew|21:33  Hear another parable: There was a certain householder,
 which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress
 in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far
 country:
   Matthew|21:34  And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his
 servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
   Matthew|21:35  And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and
 killed another, and stoned another.
   Matthew|21:36  Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and
 they did unto them likewise.
   Matthew|21:37  But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They
 will reverence my son.
   Matthew|21:38  But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among
 themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on
 his inheritance.
   Matthew|21:39  And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard,

 and slew [him].
   Matthew|21:40  When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will
 he do unto those husbandmen?
   Matthew|21:41  They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked
 men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall
 render him the fruits in their seasons.
   Matthew|21:42  Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the
 scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the
 head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our
 eyes?
   Matthew|21:43  Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be
 taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
   Matthew|21:44  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken:
 but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
   Matthew|21:45  And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his
 parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
   Matthew|21:46  But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the
 multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
   Matthew|22:1  And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables,
 and said,
   Matthew|22:2  The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which

 made a marriage for his son,
   Matthew|22:3  And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden
 to the wedding: and they would not come.
   Matthew|22:4  Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them
 which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my]
 fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the marriage.
   Matthew|22:5  But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to
 his farm, another to his merchandise:
   Matthew|22:6  And the remnant took his servants, and entreated [them]
 spitefully, and slew [them].
   Matthew|22:7  But when the king heard [thereof], he was wroth: and he
 sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their
 city.
   Matthew|22:8  Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but
 they which were bidden were not worthy.
   Matthew|22:9  Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall
 find, bid to the marriage.
   Matthew|22:10  So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered
 together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was
 furnished with guests.
   Matthew|22:11  And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there

 a man which had not on a wedding garment:
   Matthew|22:12  And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither
 not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
   Matthew|22:13  Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and
 foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be
 weeping and gnashing of teeth.
   Matthew|22:14  For many are called, but few [are] chosen.
   Matthew|22:15  Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might
 entangle him in [his] talk.
   Matthew|22:16  And they sent out unto him their disciples with the
 Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way
 of God in truth, neither carest thou for any [man]: for thou regardest not
 the person of men.
   Matthew|22:17  Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to
 give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
   Matthew|22:18  But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt
 ye me, [ye] hypocrites?
   Matthew|22:19  Show me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a
 penny.
   Matthew|22:20  And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and
 superscription?

   Matthew|22:21  They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them,
 Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God
 the things that are God's.
   Matthew|22:22  When they had heard [these words], they marvelled, and
 left him, and went their way.
   Matthew|22:23  The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that
 there is no resurrection, and asked him,
   Matthew|22:24  Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no
 children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his
 brother.
   Matthew|22:25  Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when
 he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto
 his brother:
   Matthew|22:26  Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
   Matthew|22:27  And last of all the woman died also.
   Matthew|22:28  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of
 the seven? for they all had her.
   Matthew|22:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing
 the scriptures, nor the power of God.
   Matthew|22:30  For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given
 in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

   Matthew|22:31  But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not
 read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
   Matthew|22:32  I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God
 of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
   Matthew|22:33  And when the multitude heard [this], they were astonished
 at his doctrine.
   Matthew|22:34  But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the
 Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
   Matthew|22:35  Then one of them, [which was] a lawyer, asked [him a
 question], tempting him, and saying,
   Matthew|22:36  Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
   Matthew|22:37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
 all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
   Matthew|22:38  This is the first and great commandment.
   Matthew|22:39  And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
 neighbour as thyself.
   Matthew|22:40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the
 prophets.
   Matthew|22:41  While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked
 them,
   Matthew|22:42  Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say

 unto him, [The son] of David.
   Matthew|22:43  He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him
 Lord, saying,
   Matthew|22:44  The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
 till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
   Matthew|22:45  If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
   Matthew|22:46  And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst
 any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions].
   Matthew|23:1  Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
   Matthew|23:2  Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
   Matthew|23:3  All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that]
 observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
   Matthew|23:4  For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and
 lay [them] on men's shoulders; but they [themselves] will not move them
 with one of their fingers.
   Matthew|23:5  But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they
 make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
   Matthew|23:6  And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats
 in the synagogues,
   Matthew|23:7  And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men,
 Rabbi, Rabbi.

   Matthew|23:8  But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, [even]
 Christ; and all ye are brethren.
   Matthew|23:9  And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is
 your Father, which is in heaven.
   Matthew|23:10  Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master,
 [even] Christ.
   Matthew|23:11  But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
   Matthew|23:12  And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he
 that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
   Matthew|23:13  But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
 ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in
 [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
   Matthew|23:14  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
 devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye
 shall receive the greater damnation.
   Matthew|23:15  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
 compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make
 him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
   Matthew|23:16  Woe unto you, [ye] blind guides, which say, Whosoever
 shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the
 gold of the temple, he is a debtor!

   Matthew|23:17  [Ye] fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or
 the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
   Matthew|23:18  And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing;
 but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
   Matthew|23:19  [Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the gift,
 or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
   Matthew|23:20  Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it,
 and by all things thereon.
   Matthew|23:21  And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and
 by him that dwelleth therein.
   Matthew|23:22  And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne
 of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
   Matthew|23:23  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
 pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier
 [matters] of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have
 done, and not to leave the other undone.
   Matthew|23:24  [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a
 camel.
   Matthew|23:25  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
 make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are
 full of extortion and excess.

   Matthew|23:26  [Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is]
 within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
   Matthew|23:27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
 are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but
 are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness.
   Matthew|23:28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
 within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
   Matthew|23:29  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because
 ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the
 righteous,
   Matthew|23:30  And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we
 would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
   Matthew|23:31  Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
 children of them which killed the prophets.
   Matthew|23:32  Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
   Matthew|23:33  [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye
 escape the damnation of hell?
   Matthew|23:34  Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men,
 and scribes: and [some] of them ye shall kill and crucify; and [some] of
 them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute [them] from city to
 city:

   Matthew|23:35  That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon
 the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son
 of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
   Matthew|23:36  Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon
 this generation.
   Matthew|23:37  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets,
 and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered
 thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her]
 wings, and ye would not!
   Matthew|23:38  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
   Matthew|23:39  For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till
 ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
   Matthew|24:1  And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his
 disciples came to [him] for to show him the buildings of the temple.
   Matthew|24:2  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things?
 verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another,
 that shall not be thrown down.
   Matthew|24:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came
 unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
 [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
   Matthew|24:4  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no

 man deceive you.
   Matthew|24:5  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and
 shall deceive many.
   Matthew|24:6  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye
 be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is
 not yet.
   Matthew|24:7  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
 kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in
 divers places.
   Matthew|24:8  All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
   Matthew|24:9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall
 kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
   Matthew|24:10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one
 another, and shall hate one another.
   Matthew|24:11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive
 many.
   Matthew|24:12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall
 wax cold.
   Matthew|24:13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be
 saved.
   Matthew|24:14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all

 the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
   Matthew|24:15  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
 spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth,
 let him understand:)
   Matthew|24:16  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
   Matthew|24:17  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any
 thing out of his house:
   Matthew|24:18  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take
 his clothes.
   Matthew|24:19  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that
 give suck in those days!
   Matthew|24:20  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither
 on the sabbath day:
   Matthew|24:21  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since
 the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
   Matthew|24:22  And except those days should be shortened, there should no
 flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
   Matthew|24:23  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ,
 or there; believe [it] not.
   Matthew|24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,
 and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were]

 possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
   Matthew|24:25  Behold, I have told you before.
   Matthew|24:26  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the
 desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it]
 not.
   Matthew|24:27  For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth
 even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
   Matthew|24:28  For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be
 gathered together.
   Matthew|24:29  Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the
 sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall
 fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
   Matthew|24:30  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in
 heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall
 see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great
 glory.
   Matthew|24:31  And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a
 trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from
 one end of heaven to the other.
   Matthew|24:32  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is
 yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:

   Matthew|24:33  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know
 that it is near, [even] at the doors.
   Matthew|24:34  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass,
 till all these things be fulfilled.
   Matthew|24:35  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not
 pass away.
   Matthew|24:36  But of that day and hour knoweth no [man], no, not the
 angels of heaven, but my Father only.
   Matthew|24:37  But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of
 the Son of man be.
   Matthew|24:38  For as in the days that were before the flood they were
 eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that
 Noe entered into the ark,
   Matthew|24:39  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away;
 so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
   Matthew|24:40  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,
 and the other left.
   Matthew|24:41  Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall
 be taken, and the other left.
   Matthew|24:42  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
 come.

   Matthew|24:43  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known
 in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not
 have suffered his house to be broken up.
   Matthew|24:44  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye
 think not the Son of man cometh.
   Matthew|24:45  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord
 hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
   Matthew|24:46  Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh
 shall find so doing.
   Matthew|24:47  Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over
 all his goods.
   Matthew|24:48  But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My
 lord delayeth his coming;
   Matthew|24:49  And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat
 and drink with the drunken;
   Matthew|24:50  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he
 looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of,
   Matthew|24:51  And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion
 with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
   Matthew|25:1  Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten
 virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

   Matthew|25:2  And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish.
   Matthew|25:3  They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil
 with them:
   Matthew|25:4  But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
   Matthew|25:5  While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
   Matthew|25:6  And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the
 bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
   Matthew|25:7  Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
   Matthew|25:8  And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil;
 for our lamps are gone out.
   Matthew|25:9  But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not
 enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for
 yourselves.
   Matthew|25:10  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they
 that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
   Matthew|25:11  Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord,
 open to us.
   Matthew|25:12  But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know
 you not.
   Matthew|25:13  Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour
 wherein the Son of man cometh.

   Matthew|25:14  For [the kingdom of heaven is] as a man travelling into a
 far country, [who] called his own servants, and delivered unto them his
 goods.
   Matthew|25:15  And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to
 another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway
 took his journey.
   Matthew|25:16  Then he that had received the five talents went and traded
 with the same, and made [them] other five talents.
   Matthew|25:17  And likewise he that [had received] two, he also gained
 other two.
   Matthew|25:18  But he that had received one went and digged in the earth,
 and hid his lord's money.
   Matthew|25:19  After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and
 reckoneth with them.
   Matthew|25:20  And so he that had received five talents came and brought
 other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents:
 behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
   Matthew|25:21  His lord said unto him, Well done, [thou] good and
 faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make
 thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
   Matthew|25:22  He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord,

 thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other
 talents beside them.
   Matthew|25:23  His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful
 servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler
 over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
   Matthew|25:24  Then he which had received the one talent came and said,
 Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not
 sown, and gathering where thou hast not strowed:
   Matthew|25:25  And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the
 earth: lo, [there] thou hast [that is] thine.
   Matthew|25:26  His lord answered and said unto him, [Thou] wicked and
 slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather
 where I have not strowed:
   Matthew|25:27  Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the
 exchangers, and [then] at my coming I should have received mine own with
 usury.
   Matthew|25:28  Take therefore the talent from him, and give [it] unto him
 which hath ten talents.
   Matthew|25:29  For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall
 have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that
 which he hath.

   Matthew|25:30  And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness:
 there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
   Matthew|25:31  When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the
 holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
   Matthew|25:32  And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall
 separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the
 goats:
   Matthew|25:33  And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the
 goats on the left.
   Matthew|25:34  Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come,
 ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
 foundation of the world:
   Matthew|25:35  For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,
 and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
   Matthew|25:36  Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I
 was in prison, and ye came unto me.
   Matthew|25:37  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when
 saw we thee an hungered, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink?
   Matthew|25:38  When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked,
 and clothed [thee]?
   Matthew|25:39  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto

 thee?
   Matthew|25:40  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say
 unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my
 brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
   Matthew|25:41  Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart
 from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his
 angels:
   Matthew|25:42  For I was an hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was
 thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
   Matthew|25:43  I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye
 clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
   Matthew|25:44  Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we
 thee an hungered, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in
 prison, and did not minister unto thee?
   Matthew|25:45  Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you,
 Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not
 to me.
   Matthew|25:46  And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but
 the righteous into life eternal.
   Matthew|26:1  And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these
 sayings, he said unto his disciples,

   Matthew|26:2  Ye know that after two days is [the feast of] the passover,
 and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
   Matthew|26:3  Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes,
 and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was
 called Caiaphas,
   Matthew|26:4  And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and
 kill [him].
   Matthew|26:5  But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an
 uproar among the people.
   Matthew|26:6  Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the
 leper,
   Matthew|26:7  There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very
 precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat [at meat].
   Matthew|26:8  But when his disciples saw [it], they had indignation,
 saying, To what purpose [is] this waste?
   Matthew|26:9  For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given
 to the poor.
   Matthew|26:10  When Jesus understood [it], he said unto them, Why trouble
 ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
   Matthew|26:11  For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not
 always.

   Matthew|26:12  For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she
 did [it] for my burial.
   Matthew|26:13  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
 preached in the whole world, [there] shall also this, that this woman hath
 done, be told for a memorial of her.
   Matthew|26:14  Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto
 the chief priests,
   Matthew|26:15  And said [unto them], What will ye give me, and I will
 deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of
 silver.
   Matthew|26:16  And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
   Matthew|26:17  Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread the
 disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare
 for thee to eat the passover?
   Matthew|26:18  And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto
 him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy
 house with my disciples.
   Matthew|26:19  And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and
 they made ready the passover.
   Matthew|26:20  Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
   Matthew|26:21  And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that

 one of you shall betray me.
   Matthew|26:22  And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of
 them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
   Matthew|26:23  And he answered and said, He that dippeth [his] hand with
 me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
   Matthew|26:24  The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto
 that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man
 if he had not been born.
   Matthew|26:25  Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master,
 is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
   Matthew|26:26  And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed
 [it], and brake [it], and gave [it] to the disciples, and said, Take, eat;
 this is my body.
   Matthew|26:27  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to
 them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
   Matthew|26:28  For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed
 for many for the remission of sins.
   Matthew|26:29  But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this
 fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my
 Father's kingdom.
   Matthew|26:30  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the

 mount of Olives.
   Matthew|26:31  Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended
 because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and
 the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
   Matthew|26:32  But after I am risen again, I will go before you into
 Galilee.
   Matthew|26:33  Peter answered and said unto him, Though all [men] shall
 be offended because of thee, [yet] will I never be offended.
   Matthew|26:34  Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this
 night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
   Matthew|26:35  Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet
 will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
   Matthew|26:36  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
 Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray
 yonder.
   Matthew|26:37  And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,
 and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
   Matthew|26:38  Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful,
 even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
   Matthew|26:39  And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and
 prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me:

 nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
   Matthew|26:40  And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep,
 and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
   Matthew|26:41  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the
 spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak.
   Matthew|26:42  He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O
 my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy
 will be done.
   Matthew|26:43  And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes
 were heavy.
   Matthew|26:44  And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the
 third time, saying the same words.
   Matthew|26:45  Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them,
 Sleep on now, and take [your] rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the
 Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
   Matthew|26:46  Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth
 betray me.
   Matthew|26:47  And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve,
 came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief
 priests and elders of the people.
   Matthew|26:48  Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,

 Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
   Matthew|26:49  And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master;
 and kissed him.
   Matthew|26:50  And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come?
 Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
   Matthew|26:51  And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched
 out [his] hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high
 priest's, and smote off his ear.
   Matthew|26:52  Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
 place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
   Matthew|26:53  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
 shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
   Matthew|26:54  But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus
 it must be?
   Matthew|26:55  In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye
 come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat
 daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
   Matthew|26:56  But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets
 might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
   Matthew|26:57  And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [him] away to
 Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.

   Matthew|26:58  But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's
 palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
   Matthew|26:59  Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council,
 sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
   Matthew|26:60  But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came,
 [yet] found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
   Matthew|26:61  And said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the
 temple of God, and to build it in three days.
   Matthew|26:62  And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest
 thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against thee?
   Matthew|26:63  But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and
 said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether
 thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
   Matthew|26:64  Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say
 unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand
 of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
   Matthew|26:65  Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath
 spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye
 have heard his blasphemy.
   Matthew|26:66  What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of
 death.

   Matthew|26:67  Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and
 others smote [him] with the palms of their hands,
   Matthew|26:68  Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that
 smote thee?
   Matthew|26:69  Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came
 unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
   Matthew|26:70  But he denied before [them] all, saying, I know not what
 thou sayest.
   Matthew|26:71  And when he was gone out into the porch, another [maid]
 saw him, and said unto them that were there, This [fellow] was also with
 Jesus of Nazareth.
   Matthew|26:72  And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
   Matthew|26:73  And after a while came unto [him] they that stood by, and
 said to Peter, Surely thou also art [one] of them; for thy speech bewrayeth
 thee.
   Matthew|26:74  Then began he to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not
 the man. And immediately the cock crew.
   Matthew|26:75  And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto
 him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and
 wept bitterly.
   Matthew|27:1  When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders

 of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
   Matthew|27:2  And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and
 delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
   Matthew|27:3  Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was
 condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver
 to the chief priests and elders,
   Matthew|27:4  Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent
 blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].
   Matthew|27:5  And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and
 departed, and went and hanged himself.
   Matthew|27:6  And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It
 is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of
 blood.
   Matthew|27:7  And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's
 field, to bury strangers in.
   Matthew|27:8  Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto
 this day.
   Matthew|27:9  Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the
 prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of
 him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
   Matthew|27:10  And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord

 appointed me.
   Matthew|27:11  And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor
 asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him,
 Thou sayest.
   Matthew|27:12  And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders,
 he answered nothing.
   Matthew|27:13  Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many
 things they witness against thee?
   Matthew|27:14  And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the
 governor marvelled greatly.
   Matthew|27:15  Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto
 the people a prisoner, whom they would.
   Matthew|27:16  And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
   Matthew|27:17  Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said
 unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which
 is called Christ?
   Matthew|27:18  For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
   Matthew|27:19  When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent
 unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have
 suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
   Matthew|27:20  But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude

 that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
   Matthew|27:21  The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the
 twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
   Matthew|27:22  Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus
 which is called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
   Matthew|27:23  And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But
 they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
   Matthew|27:24  When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but [that]
 rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed [his] hands before the
 multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye
 [to it].
   Matthew|27:25  Then answered all the people, and said, His blood [be] on
 us, and on our children.
   Matthew|27:26  Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had
 scourged Jesus, he delivered [him] to be crucified.
   Matthew|27:27  Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the
 common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band [of soldiers].
   Matthew|27:28  And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
   Matthew|27:29  And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put [it]
 upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before
 him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

   Matthew|27:30  And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him
 on the head.
   Matthew|27:31  And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off
 from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify
 [him].
   Matthew|27:32  And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by
 name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
   Matthew|27:33  And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that
 is to say, a place of a skull,
   Matthew|27:34  They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when
 he had tasted [thereof], he would not drink.
   Matthew|27:35  And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting
 lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They
 parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
   Matthew|27:36  And sitting down they watched him there;
   Matthew|27:37  And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS
 JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
   Matthew|27:38  Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
 right hand, and another on the left.
   Matthew|27:39  And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
   Matthew|27:40  And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest

 [it] in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from
 the cross.
   Matthew|27:41  Likewise also the chief priests mocking [him], with the
 scribes and elders, said,
   Matthew|27:42  He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King
 of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
   Matthew|27:43  He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will
 have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
   Matthew|27:44  The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the
 same in his teeth.
   Matthew|27:45  Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the
 land unto the ninth hour.
   Matthew|27:46  And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
 saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why
 hast thou forsaken me?
   Matthew|27:47  Some of them that stood there, when they heard [that],
 said, This [man] calleth for Elias.
   Matthew|27:48  And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and
 filled [it] with vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink.
   Matthew|27:49  The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come
 to save him.

   Matthew|27:50  Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded
 up the ghost.
   Matthew|27:51  And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from
 the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
   Matthew|27:52  And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints
 which slept arose,
   Matthew|27:53  And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and
 went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
   Matthew|27:54  Now when the centurion, and they that were with him,
 watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they
 feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
   Matthew|27:55  And many women were there beholding afar off, which
 followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
   Matthew|27:56  Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
 James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
   Matthew|27:57  When the even was come, there came a rich man of
 Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
   Matthew|27:58  He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then
 Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
   Matthew|27:59  And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a
 clean linen cloth,

   Matthew|27:60  And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in
 the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and
 departed.
   Matthew|27:61  And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting
 over against the sepulchre.
   Matthew|27:62  Now the next day, that followed the day of the
 preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
   Matthew|27:63  Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he
 was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
   Matthew|27:64  Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until
 the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and
 say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be
 worse than the first.
   Matthew|27:65  Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make
 [it] as sure as ye can.
   Matthew|27:66  So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the
 stone, and setting a watch.
   Matthew|28:1  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the
 first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the
 sepulchre.
   Matthew|28:2  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of

 the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the
 door, and sat upon it.
   Matthew|28:3  His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white
 as snow:
   Matthew|28:4  And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as
 dead [men].
   Matthew|28:5  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not
 ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
   Matthew|28:6  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
 place where the Lord lay.
   Matthew|28:7  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen
 from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall
 ye see him: lo, I have told you.
   Matthew|28:8  And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and
 great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
   Matthew|28:9  And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met
 them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and
 worshipped him.
   Matthew|28:10  Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my
 brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
   Matthew|28:11  Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came

 into the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were
 done.
   Matthew|28:12  And when they were assembled with the elders, and had
 taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
   Matthew|28:13  Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him
 [away] while we slept.
   Matthew|28:14  And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade
 him, and secure you.
   Matthew|28:15  So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and
 this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
   Matthew|28:16  Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a
 mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
   Matthew|28:17  And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some
 doubted.
   Matthew|28:18  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
 given unto me in heaven and in earth.
   Matthew|28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
 the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
   Matthew|28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
 commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the
 world. Amen.

   Mark|1:1  The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
   Mark|1:2  As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger
 before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
   Mark|1:3  The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way
 of the Lord, make his paths straight.
   Mark|1:4  John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
 repentance for the remission of sins.
   Mark|1:5  And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of
 Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing
 their sins.
   Mark|1:6  And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a
 skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
   Mark|1:7  And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after
 me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
   Mark|1:8  I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you
 with the Holy Ghost.
   Mark|1:9  And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from
 Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
   Mark|1:10  And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens
 opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
   Mark|1:11  And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my

 beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
   Mark|1:12  And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
   Mark|1:13  And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of
 Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
   Mark|1:14  Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into
 Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
   Mark|1:15  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is
 at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
   Mark|1:16  Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and
 Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
   Mark|1:17  And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make
 you to become fishers of men.
   Mark|1:18  And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
   Mark|1:19  And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the
 [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending
 their nets.
   Mark|1:20  And straightway he called them: and they left their father
 Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
   Mark|1:21  And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath
 day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
   Mark|1:22  And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them

 as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
   Mark|1:23  And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;
 and he cried out,
   Mark|1:24  Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou
 Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art,
 the Holy One of God.
   Mark|1:25  And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
 him.
   Mark|1:26  And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a
 loud voice, he came out of him.
   Mark|1:27  And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among
 themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for
 with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey
 him.
   Mark|1:28  And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the
 region round about Galilee.
   Mark|1:29  And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they
 entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
   Mark|1:30  But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they
 tell him of her.
   Mark|1:31  And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and

 immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
   Mark|1:32  And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all
 that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
   Mark|1:33  And all the city was gathered together at the door.
   Mark|1:34  And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast
 out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew
 him.
   Mark|1:35  And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he
 went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
   Mark|1:36  And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
   Mark|1:37  And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men]
 seek for thee.
   Mark|1:38  And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I
 may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
   Mark|1:39  And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee,
 and cast out devils.
   Mark|1:40  And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling
 down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
   Mark|1:41  And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and
 touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
   Mark|1:42  And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed

 from him, and he was cleansed.
   Mark|1:43  And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
   Mark|1:44  And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go
 thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those
 things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
   Mark|1:45  But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze
 abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the
 city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every
 quarter.
   Mark|2:1  And again he entered into Capernaum after [some] days; and it
 was noised that he was in the house.
   Mark|2:2  And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that
 there was no room to receive [them], no, not so much as about the door: and
 he preached the word unto them.
   Mark|2:3  And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which
 was borne of four.
   Mark|2:4  And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they
 uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken [it] up, they let
 down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
   Mark|2:5  When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy,
 Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

   Mark|2:6  But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and
 reasoning in their hearts,
   Mark|2:7  Why doth this [man] thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive
 sins but God only?
   Mark|2:8  And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so
 reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things
 in your hearts?
   Mark|2:9  Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, [Thy]
 sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
   Mark|2:10  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth
 to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
   Mark|2:11  I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way
 into thine house.
   Mark|2:12  And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth
 before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God,
 saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
   Mark|2:13  And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude
 resorted unto him, and he taught them.
   Mark|2:14  And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting
 at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and
 followed him.

   Mark|2:15  And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house,
 many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples:
 for there were many, and they followed him.
   Mark|2:16  And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans
 and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and
 drinketh with publicans and sinners?
   Mark|2:17  When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them, They that are whole
 have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call
 the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
   Mark|2:18  And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast:
 and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the
 Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
   Mark|2:19  And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber
 fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the
 bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
   Mark|2:20  But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
 away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
   Mark|2:21  No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment:
 else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent
 is made worse.
   Mark|2:22  And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new

 wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will
 be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
   Mark|2:23  And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on
 the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears
 of corn.
   Mark|2:24  And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the
 sabbath day that which is not lawful?
   Mark|2:25  And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when
 he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
   Mark|2:26  How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the
 high priest, and did eat the showbread, which is not lawful to eat but for
 the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
   Mark|2:27  And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not
 man for the sabbath:
   Mark|2:28  Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
   Mark|3:1  And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man
 there which had a withered hand.
   Mark|3:2  And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath
 day; that they might accuse him.
   Mark|3:3  And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand
 forth.

   Mark|3:4  And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
 days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
   Mark|3:5  And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being
 grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch
 forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] out: and his hand was restored
 whole as the other.
   Mark|3:6  And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with
 the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
   Mark|3:7  But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a
 great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
   Mark|3:8  And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and [from] beyond Jordan;
 and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what
 great things he did, came unto him.
   Mark|3:9  And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on
 him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
   Mark|3:10  For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him
 for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
   Mark|3:11  And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him,
 and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
   Mark|3:12  And he straitly charged them that they should not make him
 known.

   Mark|3:13  And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth [unto him] whom
 he would: and they came unto him.
   Mark|3:14  And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that
 he might send them forth to preach,
   Mark|3:15  And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
   Mark|3:16  And Simon he surnamed Peter;
   Mark|3:17  And James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the brother of James;
 and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
   Mark|3:18  And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and
 Thomas, and James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the
 Canaanite,
   Mark|3:19  And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went
 into an house.
   Mark|3:20  And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could
 not so much as eat bread.
   Mark|3:21  And when his friends heard [of it], they went out to lay hold
 on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
   Mark|3:22  And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath
 Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
   Mark|3:23  And he called them [unto him], and said unto them in parables,
 How can Satan cast out Satan?

   Mark|3:24  And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom
 cannot stand.
   Mark|3:25  And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot
 stand.
   Mark|3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he
 cannot stand, but hath an end.
   Mark|3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his
 goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his
 house.
   Mark|3:28  Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the
 sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
   Mark|3:29  But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never
 forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
   Mark|3:30  Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
   Mark|3:31  There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing
 without, sent unto him, calling him.
   Mark|3:32  And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him,
 Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
   Mark|3:33  And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my
 brethren?
   Mark|3:34  And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and

 said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
   Mark|3:35  For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my
 brother, and my sister, and mother.
   Mark|4:1  And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was
 gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and
 sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
   Mark|4:2  And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them
 in his doctrine,
   Mark|4:3  Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
   Mark|4:4  And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side,
 and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
   Mark|4:5  And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and
 immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
   Mark|4:6  But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no
 root, it withered away.
   Mark|4:7  And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked
 it, and it yielded no fruit.
   Mark|4:8  And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang
 up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some
 an hundred.
   Mark|4:9  And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

   Mark|4:10  And when he was alone, they that were about him with the
 twelve asked of him the parable.
   Mark|4:11  And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the
 mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these]
 things are done in parables:
   Mark|4:12  That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they
 may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted,
 and [their] sins should be forgiven them.
   Mark|4:13  And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then
 will ye know all parables?
   Mark|4:14  The sower soweth the word.
   Mark|4:15  And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown;
 but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the
 word that was sown in their hearts.
   Mark|4:16  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground;
 who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
   Mark|4:17  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time:
 afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake,
 immediately they are offended.
   Mark|4:18  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear
 the word,

   Mark|4:19  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
 and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh
 unfruitful.
   Mark|4:20  And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear
 the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some
 sixty, and some an hundred.
   Mark|4:21  And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a
 bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
   Mark|4:22  For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
 neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
   Mark|4:23  If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
   Mark|4:24  And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what
 measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall
 more be given.
   Mark|4:25  For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not,
 from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
   Mark|4:26  And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast
 seed into the ground;
   Mark|4:27  And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should
 spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
   Mark|4:28  For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the

 blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
   Mark|4:29  But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in
 the sickle, because the harvest is come.
   Mark|4:30  And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or
 with what comparison shall we compare it?
   Mark|4:31  [It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown
 in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
   Mark|4:32  But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than
 all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air
 may lodge under the shadow of it.
   Mark|4:33  And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as
 they were able to hear [it].
   Mark|4:34  But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they
 were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
   Mark|4:35  And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them,
 Let us pass over unto the other side.
   Mark|4:36  And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even
 as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
   Mark|4:37  And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into
 the ship, so that it was now full.
   Mark|4:38  And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow:

 and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we
 perish?
   Mark|4:39  And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
 Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
   Mark|4:40  And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that
 ye have no faith?
   Mark|4:41  And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What
 manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
   Mark|5:1  And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the
 country of the Gadarenes.
   Mark|5:2  And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him
 out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
   Mark|5:3  Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind
 him, no, not with chains:
   Mark|5:4  Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains,
 and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in
 pieces: neither could any [man] tame him.
   Mark|5:5  And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the
 tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
   Mark|5:6  But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
   Mark|5:7  And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with

 thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that
 thou torment me not.
   Mark|5:8  For he said unto him, Come out of the man, [thou] unclean
 spirit.
   Mark|5:9  And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying,
 My name [is] Legion: for we are many.
   Mark|5:10  And he besought him much that he would not send them away out
 of the country.
   Mark|5:11  Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of
 swine feeding.
   Mark|5:12  And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the
 swine, that we may enter into them.
   Mark|5:13  And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits
 went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a
 steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked
 in the sea.
   Mark|5:14  And they that fed the swine fled, and told [it] in the city,
 and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
   Mark|5:15  And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with
 the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind:
 and they were afraid.

   Mark|5:16  And they that saw [it] told them how it befell to him that was
 possessed with the devil, and [also] concerning the swine.
   Mark|5:17  And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
   Mark|5:18  And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed
 with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
   Mark|5:19  Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to
 thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee,
 and hath had compassion on thee.
   Mark|5:20  And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great
 things Jesus had done for him: and all [men] did marvel.
   Mark|5:21  And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other
 side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
   Mark|5:22  And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue,
 Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
   Mark|5:23  And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at
 the point of death: [I pray thee], come and lay thy hands on her, that she
 may be healed; and she shall live.
   Mark|5:24  And [Jesus] went with him; and much people followed him, and
 thronged him.
   Mark|5:25  And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
   Mark|5:26  And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent

 all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
   Mark|5:27  When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and
 touched his garment.
   Mark|5:28  For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be
 whole.
   Mark|5:29  And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and
 she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that plague.
   Mark|5:30  And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone
 out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my
 clothes?
   Mark|5:31  And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude
 thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
   Mark|5:32  And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
   Mark|5:33  But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in
 her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
   Mark|5:34  And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
 whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
   Mark|5:35  While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the
 synagogue's [house certain] which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest
 thou the Master any further?
   Mark|5:36  As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto

 the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
   Mark|5:37  And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James,
 and John the brother of James.
   Mark|5:38  And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and
 seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
   Mark|5:39  And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this
 ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
   Mark|5:40  And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all
 out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were
 with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
   Mark|5:41  And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha
 cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
   Mark|5:42  And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was [of
 the age] of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great
 astonishment.
   Mark|5:43  And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and
 commanded that something should be given her to eat.
   Mark|6:1  And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and
 his disciples follow him.
   Mark|6:2  And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the
 synagogue: and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath

 this [man] these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him,
 that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
   Mark|6:3  Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of
 James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with
 us? And they were offended at him.
   Mark|6:4  But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but
 in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
   Mark|6:5  And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his
 hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them].
   Mark|6:6  And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round
 about the villages, teaching.
   Mark|6:7  And he called [unto him] the twelve, and began to send them
 forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
   Mark|6:8  And commanded them that they should take nothing for [their]
 journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse:
   Mark|6:9  But [be] shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
   Mark|6:10  And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an
 house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
   Mark|6:11  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye
 depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against
 them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and

 Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
   Mark|6:12  And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
   Mark|6:13  And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that
 were sick, and healed [them].
   Mark|6:14  And king Herod heard [of him]; (for his name was spread
 abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and
 therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.
   Mark|6:15  Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a
 prophet, or as one of the prophets.
   Mark|6:16  But when Herod heard [thereof], he said, It is John, whom I
 beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
   Mark|6:17  For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and
 bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he
 had married her.
   Mark|6:18  For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to
 have thy brother's wife.
   Mark|6:19  Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have
 killed him; but she could not:
   Mark|6:20  For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an
 holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and
 heard him gladly.

   Mark|6:21  And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday
 made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief [estates] of Galilee;
   Mark|6:22  And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and
 danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto
 the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.
   Mark|6:23  And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will
 give [it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
   Mark|6:24  And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I
 ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
   Mark|6:25  And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and
 asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of
 John the Baptist.
   Mark|6:26  And the king was exceeding sorry; [yet] for his oath's sake,
 and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
   Mark|6:27  And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded
 his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
   Mark|6:28  And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel:
 and the damsel gave it to her mother.
   Mark|6:29  And when his disciples heard [of it], they came and took up
 his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
   Mark|6:30  And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and

 told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
   Mark|6:31  And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert
 place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had
 no leisure so much as to eat.
   Mark|6:32  And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
   Mark|6:33  And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran
 afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto
 him.
   Mark|6:34  And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved
 with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a
 shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
   Mark|6:35  And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto
 him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time [is] far passed:
   Mark|6:36  Send them away, that they may go into the country round about,
 and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to
 eat.
   Mark|6:37  He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they
 say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give
 them to eat?
   Mark|6:38  He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And
 when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

   Mark|6:39  And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon
 the green grass.
   Mark|6:40  And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
   Mark|6:41  And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he
 looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave [them] to
 his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them
 all.
   Mark|6:42  And they did all eat, and were filled.
   Mark|6:43  And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of
 the fishes.
   Mark|6:44  And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand
 men.
   Mark|6:45  And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the
 ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away
 the people.
   Mark|6:46  And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to
 pray.
   Mark|6:47  And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea,
 and he alone on the land.
   Mark|6:48  And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary
 unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them,

 walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
   Mark|6:49  But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it
 had been a spirit, and cried out:
   Mark|6:50  For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he
 talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not
 afraid.
   Mark|6:51  And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased:
 and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
   Mark|6:52  For they considered not [the miracle] of the loaves: for their
 heart was hardened.
   Mark|6:53  And when they had passed over, they came into the land of
 Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
   Mark|6:54  And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew
 him,
   Mark|6:55  And ran through that whole region round about, and began to
 carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
   Mark|6:56  And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or
 country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they
 might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as
 touched him were made whole.
   Mark|7:1  Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the

 scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
   Mark|7:2  And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled,
 that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
   Mark|7:3  For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash [their]
 hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
   Mark|7:4  And [when they come] from the market, except they wash, they
 eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold,
 [as] the washing of cups, and pots, brazen vessels, and of tables.
   Mark|7:5  Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy
 disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with
 unwashen hands?
   Mark|7:6  He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of
 you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with [their]
 lips, but their heart is far from me.
   Mark|7:7  Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching [for] doctrines
 the commandments of men.
   Mark|7:8  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition
 of men, [as] the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things
 ye do.
   Mark|7:9  And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of
 God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

   Mark|7:10  For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso
 curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
   Mark|7:11  But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It
 is] Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited
 by me; [he shall be free].
   Mark|7:12  And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his
 mother;
   Mark|7:13  Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition,
 which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
   Mark|7:14  And when he had called all the people [unto him], he said unto
 them, Hearken unto me every one [of you], and understand:
   Mark|7:15  There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him
 can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that
 defile the man.
   Mark|7:16  If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
   Mark|7:17  And when he was entered into the house from the people, his
 disciples asked him concerning the parable.
   Mark|7:18  And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also?
 Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the
 man, [it] cannot defile him;
   Mark|7:19  Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly,

 and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
   Mark|7:20  And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth
 the man.
   Mark|7:21  For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil
 thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
   Mark|7:22  Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an
 evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
   Mark|7:23  All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
   Mark|7:24  And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre
 and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know [it]: but
 he could not be hid.
   Mark|7:25  For a [certain] woman, whose young daughter had an unclean
 spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
   Mark|7:26  The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she
 besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
   Mark|7:27  But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for
 it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] unto the
 dogs.
   Mark|7:28  And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs
 under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
   Mark|7:29  And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is

 gone out of thy daughter.
   Mark|7:30  And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone
 out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
   Mark|7:31  And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he
 came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
   Mark|7:32  And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an
 impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
   Mark|7:33  And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers
 into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
   Mark|7:34  And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,
 Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
   Mark|7:35  And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his
 tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
   Mark|7:36  And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more
 he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published [it];
   Mark|7:37  And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all
 things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
   Mark|8:1  In those days the multitude being very great, and having
 nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto them,
   Mark|8:2  I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been
 with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

   Mark|8:3  And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will
 faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
   Mark|8:4  And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy
 these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
   Mark|8:5  And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said,
 Seven.
   Mark|8:6  And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he
 took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his
 disciples to set before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people.
   Mark|8:7  And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded
 to set them also before [them].
   Mark|8:8  So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the
 broken [meat] that was left seven baskets.
   Mark|8:9  And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent
 them away.
   Mark|8:10  And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and
 came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
   Mark|8:11  And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him,
 seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
   Mark|8:12  And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this
 generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be

 given unto this generation.
   Mark|8:13  And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to
 the other side.
   Mark|8:14  Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had
 they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
   Mark|8:15  And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven
 of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
   Mark|8:16  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we
 have no bread.
   Mark|8:17  And when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why reason ye,
 because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye
 your heart yet hardened?
   Mark|8:18  Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do
 ye not remember?
   Mark|8:19  When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many
 baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
   Mark|8:20  And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full
 of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
   Mark|8:21  And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
   Mark|8:22  And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto
 him, and besought him to touch him.

   Mark|8:23  And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the
 town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he
 asked him if he saw ought.
   Mark|8:24  And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
   Mark|8:25  After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made
 him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
   Mark|8:26  And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the
 town, nor tell [it] to any in the town.
   Mark|8:27  And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of
 Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them,
 Whom do men say that I am?
   Mark|8:28  And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias;
 and others, One of the prophets.
   Mark|8:29  And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter
 answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
   Mark|8:30  And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
   Mark|8:31  And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer
 many things, and be rejected of the elders, and [of] the chief priests, and
 scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
   Mark|8:32  And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began
 to rebuke him.

   Mark|8:33  But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he
 rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not
 the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
   Mark|8:34  And when he had called the people [unto him] with his
 disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him
 deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
   Mark|8:35  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
 shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
   Mark|8:36  For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole
 world, and lose his own soul?
   Mark|8:37  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
   Mark|8:38  Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in
 this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be
 ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
   Mark|9:1  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be
 some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they
 have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
   Mark|9:2  And after six days Jesus taketh [with him] Peter, and James,
 and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves:
 and he was transfigured before them.
   Mark|9:3  And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as

 no fuller on earth can white them.
   Mark|9:4  And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were
 talking with Jesus.
   Mark|9:5  And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us
 to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for
 Moses, and one for Elias.
   Mark|9:6  For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
   Mark|9:7  And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came
 out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
   Mark|9:8  And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man
 any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
   Mark|9:9  And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that
 they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were
 risen from the dead.
   Mark|9:10  And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one
 with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
   Mark|9:11  And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias
 must first come?
   Mark|9:12  And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and
 restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must
 suffer many things, and be set at nought.

   Mark|9:13  But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have
 done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
   Mark|9:14  And when he came to [his] disciples, he saw a great multitude
 about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
   Mark|9:15  And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were
 greatly amazed, and running to [him] saluted him.
   Mark|9:16  And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
   Mark|9:17  And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have
 brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
   Mark|9:18  And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth,
 and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples
 that they should cast him out; and they could not.
   Mark|9:19  He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long
 shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
   Mark|9:20  And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him,
 straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed
 foaming.
   Mark|9:21  And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came
 unto him? And he said, Of a child.
   Mark|9:22  And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the
 waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on

 us, and help us.
   Mark|9:23  Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are]
 possible to him that believeth.
   Mark|9:24  And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said
 with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
   Mark|9:25  When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he
 rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, [Thou] dumb and deaf spirit, I
 charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
   Mark|9:26  And [the spirit] cried, and rent him sore, and came out of
 him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
   Mark|9:27  But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he
 arose.
   Mark|9:28  And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him
 privately, Why could not we cast him out?
   Mark|9:29  And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing,
 but by prayer and fasting.
   Mark|9:30  And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he
 would not that any man should know [it].
   Mark|9:31  For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of
 man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after
 that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.

   Mark|9:32  But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask
 him.
   Mark|9:33  And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked
 them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
   Mark|9:34  But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed
 among themselves, who [should be] the greatest.
   Mark|9:35  And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them,
 If any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant
 of all.
   Mark|9:36  And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and
 when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
   Mark|9:37  Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name,
 receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him
 that sent me.
   Mark|9:38  And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out
 devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he
 followeth not us.
   Mark|9:39  But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which
 shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
   Mark|9:40  For he that is not against us is on our part.
   Mark|9:41  For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my

 name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose
 his reward.
   Mark|9:42  And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that
 believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his
 neck, and he were cast into the sea.
   Mark|9:43  And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee
 to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the
 fire that never shall be quenched:
   Mark|9:44  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
   Mark|9:45  And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee
 to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into
 the fire that never shall be quenched:
   Mark|9:46  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
   Mark|9:47  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for
 thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to
 be cast into hell fire:
   Mark|9:48  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
   Mark|9:49  For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice
 shall be salted with salt.
   Mark|9:50  Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his saltness,
 wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one

 with another.
   Mark|10:1  And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea
 by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and,
 as he was wont, he taught them again.
   Mark|10:2  And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for
 a man to put away [his] wife? tempting him.
   Mark|10:3  And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command
 you?
   Mark|10:4  And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement,
 and to put [her] away.
   Mark|10:5  And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of
 your heart he wrote you this precept.
   Mark|10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and
 female.
   Mark|10:7  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and
 cleave to his wife;
   Mark|10:8  And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more
 twain, but one flesh.
   Mark|10:9  What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put
 asunder.
   Mark|10:10  And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same

 [matter].
   Mark|10:11  And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife,
 and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
   Mark|10:12  And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to
 another, she committeth adultery.
   Mark|10:13  And they brought young children to him, that he should touch
 them: and [his] disciples rebuked those that brought [them].
   Mark|10:14  But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and said
 unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:
 for of such is the kingdom of God.
   Mark|10:15  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
 kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
   Mark|10:16  And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them,
 and blessed them.
   Mark|10:17  And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one
 running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do
 that I may inherit eternal life?
   Mark|10:18  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is]
 none good but one, [that is], God.
   Mark|10:19  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
 kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy

 father and mother.
   Mark|10:20  And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I
 observed from my youth.
   Mark|10:21  Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One
 thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the
 poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross,
 and follow me.
   Mark|10:22  And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he
 had great possessions.
   Mark|10:23  And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples,
 How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
   Mark|10:24  And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus
 answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them
 that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
   Mark|10:25  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
 than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
   Mark|10:26  And they were astonished out of measure, saying among
 themselves, Who then can be saved?
   Mark|10:27  And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is]
 impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
   Mark|10:28  Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and

 have followed thee.
   Mark|10:29  And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is
 no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
 or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
   Mark|10:30  But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses,
 and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with
 persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
   Mark|10:31  But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.
   Mark|10:32  And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus
 went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were
 afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things
 should happen unto him,
   Mark|10:33  [Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man
 shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they
 shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
   Mark|10:34  And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall
 spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
   Mark|10:35  And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him,
 saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall
 desire.
   Mark|10:36  And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for

 you?
   Mark|10:37  They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy
 right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
   Mark|10:38  But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye
 drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I
 am baptized with?
   Mark|10:39  And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye
 shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I
 am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
   Mark|10:40  But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine
 to give; but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared.
   Mark|10:41  And when the ten heard [it], they began to be much displeased
 with James and John.
   Mark|10:42  But Jesus called them [to him], and saith unto them, Ye know
 that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship
 over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
   Mark|10:43  But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great
 among you, shall be your minister:
   Mark|10:44  And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant
 of all.
   Mark|10:45  For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but

 to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
   Mark|10:46  And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with
 his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of
 Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
   Mark|10:47  And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to
 cry out, and say, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
   Mark|10:48  And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he
 cried the more a great deal, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
   Mark|10:49  And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And
 they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he
 calleth thee.
   Mark|10:50  And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
   Mark|10:51  And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I
 should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might
 receive my sight.
   Mark|10:52  And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee
 whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the
 way.
   Mark|11:1  And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and
 Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
   Mark|11:2  And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against

 you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied,
 whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring [him].
   Mark|11:3  And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the
 Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
   Mark|11:4  And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door
 without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
   Mark|11:5  And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do
 ye, loosing the colt?
   Mark|11:6  And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they
 let them go.
   Mark|11:7  And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on
 him; and he sat upon him.
   Mark|11:8  And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down
 branches off the trees, and strowed [them] in the way.
   Mark|11:9  And they that went before, and they that followed, cried,
 saying, Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
   Mark|11:10  Blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in
 the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
   Mark|11:11  And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and
 when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was
 come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

   Mark|11:12  And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was
 hungry:
   Mark|11:13  And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if
 haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found
 nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].
   Mark|11:14  And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee
 hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it].
   Mark|11:15  And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple,
 and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and
 overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold
 doves;
   Mark|11:16  And would not suffer that any man should carry [any] vessel
 through the temple.
   Mark|11:17  And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house
 shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a
 den of thieves.
   Mark|11:18  And the scribes and chief priests heard [it], and sought how
 they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was
 astonished at his doctrine.
   Mark|11:19  And when even was come, he went out of the city.
   Mark|11:20  And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree

 dried up from the roots.
   Mark|11:21  And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master,
 behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
   Mark|11:22  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
   Mark|11:23  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this
 mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not
 doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith
 shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
   Mark|11:24  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when
 ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
   Mark|11:25  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against
 any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your
 trespasses.
   Mark|11:26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is
 in heaven forgive your trespasses.
   Mark|11:27  And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in
 the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the
 elders,
   Mark|11:28  And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things?
 and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
   Mark|11:29  And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you

 one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do
 these things.
   Mark|11:30  The baptism of John, was [it] from heaven, or of men? answer
 me.
   Mark|11:31  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
 From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
   Mark|11:32  But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all
 [men] counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
   Mark|11:33  And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And
 Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I
 do these things.
   Mark|12:1  And he began to speak unto them by parables. A [certain] man
 planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about [it], and digged [a place for]
 the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into
 a far country.
   Mark|12:2  And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he
 might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
   Mark|12:3  And they caught [him], and beat him, and sent [him] away
 empty.
   Mark|12:4  And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they
 cast stones, and wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away shamefully

 handled.
   Mark|12:5  And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many
 others; beating some, and killing some.
   Mark|12:6  Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him
 also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
   Mark|12:7  But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir;
 come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
   Mark|12:8  And they took him, and killed [him], and cast [him] out of the
 vineyard.
   Mark|12:9  What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come
 and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
   Mark|12:10  And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the
 builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
   Mark|12:11  This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
   Mark|12:12  And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people:
 for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left
 him, and went their way.
   Mark|12:13  And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the
 Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.
   Mark|12:14  And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know
 that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the

 person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give
 tribute to Caesar, or not?
   Mark|12:15  Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their
 hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may
 see [it].
   Mark|12:16  And they brought [it]. And he saith unto them, Whose [is]
 this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
   Mark|12:17  And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the
 things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they
 marvelled at him.
   Mark|12:18  Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no
 resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
   Mark|12:19  Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and
 leave [his] wife [behind him], and leave no children, that his brother
 should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
   Mark|12:20  Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and
 dying left no seed.
   Mark|12:21  And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed:
 and the third likewise.
   Mark|12:22  And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the
 woman died also.

   Mark|12:23  In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose
 wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
   Mark|12:24  And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err,
 because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
   Mark|12:25  For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry,
 nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
   Mark|12:26  And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in
 the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I [am] the
 God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
   Mark|12:27  He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye
 therefore do greatly err.
   Mark|12:28  And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning
 together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which
 is the first commandment of all?
   Mark|12:29  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments
 [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
   Mark|12:30  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
 with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this
 [is] the first commandment.
   Mark|12:31  And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy
 neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

   Mark|12:32  And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said
 the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
   Mark|12:33  And to love him with all the heart, and with all the
 understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to
 love [his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and
 sacrifices.
   Mark|12:34  And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto
 him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst
 ask him [any question].
   Mark|12:35  And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple,
 How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
   Mark|12:36  For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my
 Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
   Mark|12:37  David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he
 [then] his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
   Mark|12:38  And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes,
 which love to go in long clothing, and [love] salutations in the
 marketplaces,
   Mark|12:39  And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost
 rooms at feasts:
   Mark|12:40  Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long

 prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
   Mark|12:41  And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the
 people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
   Mark|12:42  And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two
 mites, which make a farthing.
   Mark|12:43  And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto them,
 Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all
 they which have cast into the treasury:
   Mark|12:44  For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she of her
 want did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.
   Mark|13:1  And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith
 unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings [are here]!
   Mark|13:2  And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great
 buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not
 be thrown down.
   Mark|13:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the
 temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
   Mark|13:4  Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the
 sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
   Mark|13:5  And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any
 [man] deceive you:

   Mark|13:6  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and
 shall deceive many.
   Mark|13:7  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not
 troubled: for [such things] must needs be; but the end [shall] not [be]
 yet.
   Mark|13:8  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
 kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall
 be famines and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.
   Mark|13:9  But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to
 councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought
 before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
   Mark|13:10  And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
   Mark|13:11  But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no
 thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but
 whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye
 that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
   Mark|13:12  Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the
 father the son; and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and
 shall cause them to be put to death.
   Mark|13:13  And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he
 that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

   Mark|13:14  But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken
 of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that
 readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
   Mark|13:15  And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the
 house, neither enter [therein], to take any thing out of his house:
   Mark|13:16  And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to
 take up his garment.
   Mark|13:17  But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give
 suck in those days!
   Mark|13:18  And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
   Mark|13:19  For [in] those days shall be affliction, such as was not from
 the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither
 shall be.
   Mark|13:20  And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh
 should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath
 shortened the days.
   Mark|13:21  And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ;
 or, lo, [he is] there; believe [him] not:
   Mark|13:22  For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall
 show signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.
   Mark|13:23  But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

   Mark|13:24  But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be
 darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
   Mark|13:25  And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are
 in heaven shall be shaken.
   Mark|13:26  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds
 with great power and glory.
   Mark|13:27  And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together
 his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the
 uttermost part of heaven.
   Mark|13:28  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet
 tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
   Mark|13:29  So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to
 pass, know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors.
   Mark|13:30  Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass,
 till all these things be done.
   Mark|13:31  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass
 away.
   Mark|13:32  But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the
 angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
   Mark|13:33  Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time
 is.

   Mark|13:34  [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who
 left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his
 work, and commanded the porter to watch.
   Mark|13:35  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the
 house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the
 morning:
   Mark|13:36  Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
   Mark|13:37  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
   Mark|14:1  After two days was [the feast of] the passover, and of
 unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they
 might take him by craft, and put [him] to death.
   Mark|14:2  But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar
 of the people.
   Mark|14:3  And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he
 sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of
 spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured [it] on his
 head.
   Mark|14:4  And there were some that had indignation within themselves,
 and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
   Mark|14:5  For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence,
 and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

   Mark|14:6  And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath
 wrought a good work on me.
   Mark|14:7  For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will
 ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
   Mark|14:8  She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint
 my body to the burying.
   Mark|14:9  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be
 preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall
 be spoken of for a memorial of her.
   Mark|14:10  And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief
 priests, to betray him unto them.
   Mark|14:11  And when they heard [it], they were glad, and promised to
 give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
   Mark|14:12  And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the
 passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and
 prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
   Mark|14:13  And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto
 them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher
 of water: follow him.
   Mark|14:14  And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the
 house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the

 passover with my disciples?
   Mark|14:15  And he will show you a large upper room furnished [and]
 prepared: there make ready for us.
   Mark|14:16  And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and
 found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
   Mark|14:17  And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
   Mark|14:18  And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto
 you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
   Mark|14:19  And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by
 one, [Is] it I? and another [said, Is] it I?
   Mark|14:20  And he answered and said unto them, [It is] one of the
 twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
   Mark|14:21  The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe
 to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man
 if he had never been born.
   Mark|14:22  And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake
 [it], and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
   Mark|14:23  And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave
 [it] to them: and they all drank of it.
   Mark|14:24  And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament,
 which is shed for many.

   Mark|14:25  Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of
 the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
   Mark|14:26  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount
 of Olives.
   Mark|14:27  And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because
 of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the
 sheep shall be scattered.
   Mark|14:28  But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
   Mark|14:29  But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet
 [will] not I.
   Mark|14:30  And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this
 day, [even] in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me
 thrice.
   Mark|14:31  But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee,
 I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
   Mark|14:32  And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he
 saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
   Mark|14:33  And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to
 be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
   Mark|14:34  And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto
 death: tarry ye here, and watch.

   Mark|14:35  And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and
 prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
   Mark|14:36  And he said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible unto
 thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what
 thou wilt.
   Mark|14:37  And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto
 Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
   Mark|14:38  Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit
 truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.
   Mark|14:39  And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
   Mark|14:40  And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their
 eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
   Mark|14:41  And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on
 now, and take [your] rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son
 of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
   Mark|14:42  Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
   Mark|14:43  And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the
 twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the
 chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
   Mark|14:44  And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying,
 Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead [him] away

 safely.
   Mark|14:45  And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and
 saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
   Mark|14:46  And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
   Mark|14:47  And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a
 servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
   Mark|14:48  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as
 against a thief, with swords and [with] staves to take me?
   Mark|14:49  I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me
 not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
   Mark|14:50  And they all forsook him, and fled.
   Mark|14:51  And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen
 cloth cast about [his] naked [body]; and the young men laid hold on him:
   Mark|14:52  And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
   Mark|14:53  And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were
 assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
   Mark|14:54  And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the
 high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
   Mark|14:55  And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness
 against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
   Mark|14:56  For many bare false witness against him, but their witness

 agreed not together.
   Mark|14:57  And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him,
 saying,
   Mark|14:58  We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made
 with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
   Mark|14:59  But neither so did their witness agree together.
   Mark|14:60  And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,
 saying, Answerest thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against
 thee?
   Mark|14:61  But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high
 priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the
 Blessed?
   Mark|14:62  And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting
 on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
   Mark|14:63  Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need
 we any further witnesses?
   Mark|14:64  Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all
 condemned him to be guilty of death.
   Mark|14:65  And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to
 buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him
 with the palms of their hands.

   Mark|14:66  And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of
 the maids of the high priest:
   Mark|14:67  And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him,
 and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
   Mark|14:68  But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what
 thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
   Mark|14:69  And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood
 by, This is [one] of them.
   Mark|14:70  And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood
 by said again to Peter, Surely thou art [one] of them: for thou art a
 Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth [thereto].
   Mark|14:71  But he began to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not this
 man of whom ye speak.
   Mark|14:72  And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind
 the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt
 deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
   Mark|15:1  And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a
 consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound
 Jesus, and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] to Pilate.
   Mark|15:2  And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
 answering said unto him, Thou sayest [it].

   Mark|15:3  And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he
 answered nothing.
   Mark|15:4  And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
 behold how many things they witness against thee.
   Mark|15:5  But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
   Mark|15:6  Now at [that] feast he released unto them one prisoner,
 whomsoever they desired.
   Mark|15:7  And there was [one] named Barabbas, [which lay] bound with
 them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the
 insurrection.
   Mark|15:8  And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as
 he had ever done unto them.
   Mark|15:9  But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto
 you the King of the Jews?
   Mark|15:10  For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for
 envy.
   Mark|15:11  But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
 release Barabbas unto them.
   Mark|15:12  And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye
 then that I shall do [unto him] whom ye call the King of the Jews?
   Mark|15:13  And they cried out again, Crucify him.

   Mark|15:14  Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And
 they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
   Mark|15:15  And [so] Pilate, willing to content the people, released
 Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged [him], to be
 crucified.
   Mark|15:16  And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called
 Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
   Mark|15:17  And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of
 thorns, and put it about his [head],
   Mark|15:18  And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
   Mark|15:19  And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon
 him, and bowing [their] knees worshipped him.
   Mark|15:20  And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from
 him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
   Mark|15:21  And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming
 out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
   Mark|15:22  And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
 interpreted, The place of a skull.
   Mark|15:23  And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he
 received [it] not.
   Mark|15:24  And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,

 casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
   Mark|15:25  And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
   Mark|15:26  And the superscription of his accusation was written over,
 THE KING OF THE JEWS.
   Mark|15:27  And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right
 hand, and the other on his left.
   Mark|15:28  And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was
 numbered with the transgressors.
   Mark|15:29  And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,
 and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest [it] in three
 days,
   Mark|15:30  Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
   Mark|15:31  Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves
 with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
   Mark|15:32  Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross,
 that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled
 him.
   Mark|15:33  And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the
 whole land until the ninth hour.
   Mark|15:34  And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
 Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God,

 why hast thou forsaken me?
   Mark|15:35  And some of them that stood by, when they heard [it], said,
 Behold, he calleth Elias.
   Mark|15:36  And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put [it]
 on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether
 Elias will come to take him down.
   Mark|15:37  And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
   Mark|15:38  And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to
 the bottom.
   Mark|15:39  And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw
 that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was
 the Son of God.
   Mark|15:40  There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was
 Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and
 Salome;
   Mark|15:41  (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and
 ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto
 Jerusalem.
   Mark|15:42  And now when the even was come, because it was the
 preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
   Mark|15:43  Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also

 waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and
 craved the body of Jesus.
   Mark|15:44  And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling
 [unto him] the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
   Mark|15:45  And when he knew [it] of the centurion, he gave the body to
 Joseph.
   Mark|15:46  And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him
 in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and
 rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
   Mark|15:47  And Mary Magdalene and Mary [the mother] of Joses beheld
 where he was laid.
   Mark|16:1  And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
 [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might
 come and anoint him.
   Mark|16:2  And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week,
 they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
   Mark|16:3  And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the
 stone from the door of the sepulchre?
   Mark|16:4  And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away:
 for it was very great.
   Mark|16:5  And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting

 on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were
 affrighted.
   Mark|16:6  And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of
 Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the
 place where they laid him.
   Mark|16:7  But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth
 before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
   Mark|16:8  And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for
 they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any [man];
 for they were afraid.
   Mark|16:9  Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week,
 he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
   Mark|16:10  [And] she went and told them that had been with him, as they
 mourned and wept.
   Mark|16:11  And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been
 seen of her, believed not.
   Mark|16:12  After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as
 they walked, and went into the country.
   Mark|16:13  And they went and told [it] unto the residue: neither
 believed they them.
   Mark|16:14  Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat,

 and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they
 believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
   Mark|16:15  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach
 the gospel to every creature.
   Mark|16:16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
 believeth not shall be damned.
   Mark|16:17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name
 shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
   Mark|16:18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly
 thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they
 shall recover.
   Mark|16:19  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received
 up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
   Mark|16:20  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord
 working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
   Luke|1:1  Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a
 declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
   Luke|1:2  Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning
 were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
   Luke|1:3  It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of
 all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent

 Theophilus,
   Luke|1:4  That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein
 thou hast been instructed.
   Luke|1:5  There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain
 priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife [was] of the
 daughters of Aaron, and her name [was] Elisabeth.
   Luke|1:6  And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
 commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
   Luke|1:7  And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and
 they both were [now] well stricken in years.
   Luke|1:8  And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office
 before God in the order of his course,
   Luke|1:9  According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to
 burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
   Luke|1:10  And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at
 the time of incense.
   Luke|1:11  And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on
 the right side of the altar of incense.
   Luke|1:12  And when Zacharias saw [him], he was troubled, and fear fell
 upon him.
   Luke|1:13  But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy

 prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou
 shalt call his name John.
   Luke|1:14  And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice
 at his birth.
   Luke|1:15  For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall
 drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy
 Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
   Luke|1:16  And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord
 their God.
   Luke|1:17  And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias,
 to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to
 the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
   Luke|1:18  And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this?
 for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
   Luke|1:19  And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that
 stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to show
 thee these glad tidings.
   Luke|1:20  And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until
 the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my
 words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
   Luke|1:21  And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he

 tarried so long in the temple.
   Luke|1:22  And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they
 perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto
 them, and remained speechless.
   Luke|1:23  And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his
 ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
   Luke|1:24  And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid
 herself five months, saying,
   Luke|1:25  Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked
 on [me], to take away my reproach among men.
   Luke|1:26  And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God
 unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
   Luke|1:27  To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the
 house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary.
   Luke|1:28  And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that
 art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among
 women.
   Luke|1:29  And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and
 cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
   Luke|1:30  And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast
 found favour with God.

   Luke|1:31  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
 a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
   Luke|1:32  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
 and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
   Luke|1:33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of
 his kingdom there shall be no end.
   Luke|1:34  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
 know not a man?
   Luke|1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall
 come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:
 therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called
 the Son of God.
   Luke|1:36  And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a
 son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called
 barren.
   Luke|1:37  For with God nothing shall be impossible.
   Luke|1:38  And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me
 according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
   Luke|1:39  And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country
 with haste, into a city of Juda;
   Luke|1:40  And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted

 Elisabeth.
   Luke|1:41  And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation
 of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the
 Holy Ghost:
   Luke|1:42  And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art]
 thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
   Luke|1:43  And whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should
 come to me?
   Luke|1:44  For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in
 mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
   Luke|1:45  And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a
 performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
   Luke|1:46  And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
   Luke|1:47  And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
   Luke|1:48  For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for,
 behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
   Luke|1:49  For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy
 [is] his name.
   Luke|1:50  And his mercy [is] on them that fear him from generation to
 generation.
   Luke|1:51  He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the

 proud in the imagination of their hearts.
   Luke|1:52  He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted
 them of low degree.
   Luke|1:53  He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he
 hath sent empty away.
   Luke|1:54  He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of [his]
 mercy;
   Luke|1:55  As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for
 ever.
   Luke|1:56  And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to
 her own house.
   Luke|1:57  Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered;
 and she brought forth a son.
   Luke|1:58  And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had
 showed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
   Luke|1:59  And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to
 circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his
 father.
   Luke|1:60  And his mother answered and said, Not [so]; but he shall be
 called John.
   Luke|1:61  And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is

 called by this name.
   Luke|1:62  And they made signs to his father, how he would have him
 called.
   Luke|1:63  And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name
 is John. And they marvelled all.
   Luke|1:64  And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue [loosed],
 and he spake, and praised God.
   Luke|1:65  And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all
 these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
   Luke|1:66  And all they that heard [them] laid [them] up in their hearts,
 saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was
 with him.
   Luke|1:67  And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and
 prophesied, saying,
   Luke|1:68  Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and
 redeemed his people,
   Luke|1:69  And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of
 his servant David;
   Luke|1:70  As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been
 since the world began:
   Luke|1:71  That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of

 all that hate us;
   Luke|1:72  To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to
 remember his holy covenant;
   Luke|1:73  The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
   Luke|1:74  That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of
 the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
   Luke|1:75  In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our
 life.
   Luke|1:76  And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest:
 for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
   Luke|1:77  To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the
 remission of their sins,
   Luke|1:78  Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
 from on high hath visited us,
   Luke|1:79  To give light to them that sit in darkness and [in] the shadow
 of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
   Luke|1:80  And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the
 deserts till the day of his showing unto Israel.
   Luke|2:1  And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree
 from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
   Luke|2:2  ([And] this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of

 Syria.)
   Luke|2:3  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
   Luke|2:4  And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of
 Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
 (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
   Luke|2:5  To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
 child.
   Luke|2:6  And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
 accomplished that she should be delivered.
   Luke|2:7  And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in
 swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for
 them in the inn.
   Luke|2:8  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the
 field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
   Luke|2:9  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of
 the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
   Luke|2:10  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring
 you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
   Luke|2:11  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
 which is Christ the Lord.
   Luke|2:12  And this [shall be] a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe

 wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
   Luke|2:13  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
 heavenly host praising God, and saying,
   Luke|2:14  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
 toward men.
   Luke|2:15  And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them
 into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto
 Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath
 made known unto us.
   Luke|2:16  And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the
 babe lying in a manger.
   Luke|2:17  And when they had seen [it], they made known abroad the saying
 which was told them concerning this child.
   Luke|2:18  And all they that heard [it] wondered at those things which
 were told them by the shepherds.
   Luke|2:19  But Mary kept all these things, and pondered [them] in her
 heart.
   Luke|2:20  And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for
 all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
   Luke|2:21  And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of
 the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel

 before he was conceived in the womb.
   Luke|2:22  And when the days of her purification according to the law of
 Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present [him] to
 the Lord;
   Luke|2:23  (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that
 openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
   Luke|2:24  And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in
 the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
   Luke|2:25  And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [was]
 Simeon; and the same man [was] just and devout, waiting for the consolation
 of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
   Luke|2:26  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should
 not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
   Luke|2:27  And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
 parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the
 law,
   Luke|2:28  Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
   Luke|2:29  Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according
 to thy word:
   Luke|2:30  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
   Luke|2:31  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

   Luke|2:32  A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people
 Israel.
   Luke|2:33  And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were
 spoken of him.
   Luke|2:34  And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,
 Behold, this [child] is set for the fall and rising again of many in
 Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
   Luke|2:35  (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that
 the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
   Luke|2:36  And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel,
 of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband
 seven years from her virginity;
   Luke|2:37  And she [was] a widow of about fourscore and four years, which
 departed not from the temple, but served [God] with fastings and prayers
 night and day.
   Luke|2:38  And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the
 Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
   Luke|2:39  And when they had performed all things according to the law of
 the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
   Luke|2:40  And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with
 wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

   Luke|2:41  Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of
 the passover.
   Luke|2:42  And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem
 after the custom of the feast.
   Luke|2:43  And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the
 child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not
 [of it].
   Luke|2:44  But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a
 day's journey; and they sought him among [their] kinsfolk and acquaintance.
   Luke|2:45  And when they found him not, they turned back again to
 Jerusalem, seeking him.
   Luke|2:46  And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in
 the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and
 asking them questions.
   Luke|2:47  And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding
 and answers.
   Luke|2:48  And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said
 unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I
 have sought thee sorrowing.
   Luke|2:49  And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye
 not that I must be about my Father's business?

   Luke|2:50  And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
   Luke|2:51  And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was
 subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
   Luke|2:52  And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with
 God and man.
   Luke|3:1  Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
 Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of
 Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of
 Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
   Luke|3:2  Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came
 unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
   Luke|3:3  And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the
 baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
   Luke|3:4  As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the
 prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the
 way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
   Luke|3:5  Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall
 be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways
 [shall be] made smooth;
   Luke|3:6  And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
   Luke|3:7  Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of

 him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to
 come?
   Luke|3:8  Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin
 not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say
 unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto
 Abraham.
   Luke|3:9  And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: every
 tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast
 into the fire.
   Luke|3:10  And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
   Luke|3:11  He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let
 him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do
 likewise.
   Luke|3:12  Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him,
 Master, what shall we do?
   Luke|3:13  And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is
 appointed you.
   Luke|3:14  And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what
 shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse
 [any] falsely; and be content with your wages.
   Luke|3:15  And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in

 their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
   Luke|3:16  John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you
 with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am
 not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with
 fire:
   Luke|3:17  Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his
 floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will
 burn with fire unquenchable.
   Luke|3:18  And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the
 people.
   Luke|3:19  But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his
 brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
   Luke|3:20  Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
   Luke|3:21  Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that
 Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
   Luke|3:22  And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove
 upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved
 Son; in thee I am well pleased.
   Luke|3:23  And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being
 (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was [the son] of Heli,

 which was [the son] of Mattatha, which was [the son] of Nathan, which was
 [the son] of David,
   Luke|3:32  Which was [the son] of Jesse, which was [the son] of Obed,
 which was [the son] of Booz, which was [the son] of Salmon, which was [the
 son] of Naasson,

 which was [the son] of Esrom, which was [the son] of Phares, which was [the
 son] of Juda,

 which was [the son] of Abraham, which was [the son] of Thara, which was
 [the son] of Nachor,

 which was [the son] of Phalec, which was [the son] of Heber, which was [the
 son] of Sala,

 Arphaxad, which was [the son] of Sem, which was [the son] of Noe, which was
 [the son] of Lamech,
   Luke|3:37  Which was [the son] of Mathusala, which was [the son] of
 Enoch, which was [the son] of Jared, which was [the son] of Maleleel, which
 was [the son] of Cainan,
   Luke|3:38  Which was [the son] of Enos, which was [the son] of Seth,

 which was [the son] of Adam, which was [the son] of God.
   Luke|4:1  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
 and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
   Luke|4:2  Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did
 eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
   Luke|4:3  And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command
 this stone that it be made bread.
   Luke|4:4  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall
 not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
   Luke|4:5  And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto
 him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
   Luke|4:6  And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee,
 and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I
 will I give it.
   Luke|4:7  If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
   Luke|4:8  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
 Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only
 shalt thou serve.
   Luke|4:9  And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of
 the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down
 from hence:

   Luke|4:10  For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee,
 to keep thee:
   Luke|4:11  And in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time
 thou dash thy foot against a stone.
   Luke|4:12  And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not
 tempt the Lord thy God.
   Luke|4:13  And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed
 from him for a season.
   Luke|4:14  And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee:
 and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
   Luke|4:15  And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
   Luke|4:16  And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as
 his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up
 for to read.
   Luke|4:17  And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet
 Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was
 written,
   Luke|4:18  The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed
 me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
 brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
 sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

   Luke|4:19  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
   Luke|4:20  And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the
 minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
 were fastened on him.
   Luke|4:21  And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture
 fulfilled in your ears.
   Luke|4:22  And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words
 which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
   Luke|4:23  And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this
 proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in
 Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
   Luke|4:24  And he said, Verily, I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in
 his own country.
   Luke|4:25  But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the
 days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when
 great famine was throughout all the land;
   Luke|4:26  But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, [a
 city] of Sidon, unto a woman [that was] a widow.
   Luke|4:27  And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the
 prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
   Luke|4:28  And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,

 were filled with wrath,
   Luke|4:29  And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto
 the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him
 down headlong.
   Luke|4:30  But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
   Luke|4:31  And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them
 on the sabbath days.
   Luke|4:32  And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was
 with power.
   Luke|4:33  And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an
 unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
   Luke|4:34  Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, [thou]
 Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art;
 the Holy One of God.
   Luke|4:35  And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
 him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him,
 and hurt him not.
   Luke|4:36  And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying,
 What a word [is] this! for with authority and power he commandeth the
 unclean spirits, and they come out.
   Luke|4:37  And the fame of him went out into every place of the country

 round about.
   Luke|4:38  And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's
 house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they
 besought him for her.
   Luke|4:39  And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her:
 and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
   Luke|4:40  Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with
 divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one
 of them, and healed them.
   Luke|4:41  And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou
 art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking [them] suffered them not to
 speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
   Luke|4:42  And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place:
 and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he
 should not depart from them.
   Luke|4:43  And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to
 other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
   Luke|4:44  And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
   Luke|5:1  And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to
 hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
   Luke|5:2  And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were

 gone out of them, and were washing [their] nets.
   Luke|5:3  And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and
 prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat
 down, and taught the people out of the ship.
   Luke|5:4  Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out
 into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
   Luke|5:5  And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all
 the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down
 the net.
   Luke|5:6  And when they had this done, they enclosed a great multitude of
 fishes: and their net brake.
   Luke|5:7  And they beckoned unto [their] partners, which were in the
 other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled
 both the ships, so that they began to sink.
   Luke|5:8  When Simon Peter saw [it], he fell down at Jesus' knees,
 saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
   Luke|5:9  For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the
 draught of the fishes which they had taken:
   Luke|5:10  And so [was] also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which
 were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from
 henceforth thou shalt catch men.

   Luke|5:11  And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook
 all, and followed him.
   Luke|5:12  And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a
 man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on [his] face, and besought him,
 saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
   Luke|5:13  And he put forth [his] hand, and touched him, saying, I will:
 be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
   Luke|5:14  And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and show thyself to
 the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for
 a testimony unto them.
   Luke|5:15  But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and
 great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their
 infirmities.
   Luke|5:16  And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
   Luke|5:17  And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that
 there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out
 of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the
 Lord was [present] to heal them.
   Luke|5:18  And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a
 palsy: and they sought [means] to bring him in, and to lay [him] before
 him.

   Luke|5:19  And when they could not find by what [way] they might bring
 him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him
 down through the tiling with [his] couch into the midst before Jesus.
   Luke|5:20  And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins
 are forgiven thee.
   Luke|5:21  And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who
 is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
   Luke|5:22  But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said
 unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
   Luke|5:23  Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to
 say, Rise up and walk?
   Luke|5:24  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth
 to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee,
 Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
   Luke|5:25  And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that
 whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
   Luke|5:26  And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were
 filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
   Luke|5:27  And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican,
 named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow
 me.

   Luke|5:28  And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
   Luke|5:29  And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there
 was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
   Luke|5:30  But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his
 disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
   Luke|5:31  And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need
 not a physician; but they that are sick.
   Luke|5:32  I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
   Luke|5:33  And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast
 often, and make prayers, and likewise [the disciples] of the Pharisees; but
 thine eat and drink?
   Luke|5:34  And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the
 bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
   Luke|5:35  But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken
 away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
   Luke|5:36  And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece
 of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a
 rent, and the piece that was [taken] out of the new agreeth not with the
 old.
   Luke|5:37  And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new
 wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

   Luke|5:38  But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are
 preserved.
   Luke|5:39  No man also having drunk old [wine] straightway desireth new:
 for he saith, The old is better.
   Luke|6:1  And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that
 he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of
 corn, and did eat, rubbing [them] in [their] hands.
   Luke|6:2  And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that
 which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
   Luke|6:3  And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as
 this, what David did, when himself was an hungered, and they which were
 with him;
   Luke|6:4  How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the
 showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful
 to eat but for the priests alone?
   Luke|6:5  And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the
 sabbath.
   Luke|6:6  And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered
 into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was
 withered.
   Luke|6:7  And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would

 heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
   Luke|6:8  But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the
 withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and
 stood forth.
   Luke|6:9  Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it
 lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to
 destroy [it]?
   Luke|6:10  And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man,
 Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as
 the other.
   Luke|6:11  And they were filled with madness; and communed one with
 another what they might do to Jesus.
   Luke|6:12  And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a
 mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
   Luke|6:13  And when it was day, he called [unto him] his disciples: and
 of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
   Luke|6:14  Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother,
 James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
   Luke|6:15  Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon
 called Zelotes,
   Luke|6:16  And Judas [the brother] of James, and Judas Iscariot, which

 also was the traitor.
   Luke|6:17  And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the
 company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea
 and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear
 him, and to be healed of their diseases;
   Luke|6:18  And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were
 healed.
   Luke|6:19  And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went
 virtue out of him, and healed [them] all.
   Luke|6:20  And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
 [be ye] poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
   Luke|6:21  Blessed [are ye] that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.
 Blessed [are ye] that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
   Luke|6:22  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall
 separate you [from their company], and shall reproach [you], and cast out
 your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
   Luke|6:23  Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your
 reward [is] great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto
 the prophets.
   Luke|6:24  But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your
 consolation.

   Luke|6:25  Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you
 that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
   Luke|6:26  Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did
 their fathers to the false prophets.
   Luke|6:27  But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to
 them which hate you,
   Luke|6:28  Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which
 despitefully use you.
   Luke|6:29  And unto him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also
 the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not [to take thy] coat
 also.
   Luke|6:30  Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh
 away thy goods ask [them] not again.
   Luke|6:31  And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them
 likewise.
   Luke|6:32  For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for
 sinners also love those that love them.
   Luke|6:33  And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank
 have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
   Luke|6:34  And if ye lend [to them] of whom ye hope to receive, what
 thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

   Luke|6:35  But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for
 nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children
 of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and [to] the evil.
   Luke|6:36  Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
   Luke|6:37  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye
 shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
   Luke|6:38  Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed
 down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your
 bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured
 to you again.
   Luke|6:39  And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the
 blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
   Luke|6:40  The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is
 perfect shall be as his master.
   Luke|6:41  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
 but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
   Luke|6:42  Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull
 out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam
 that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of
 thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is
 in thy brother's eye.

   Luke|6:43  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth
 a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
   Luke|6:44  For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do
 not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
   Luke|6:45  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth
 forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his
 heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart
 his mouth speaketh.
   Luke|6:46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I
 say?
   Luke|6:47  Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth
 them, I will show you to whom he is like:
   Luke|6:48  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and
 laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat
 vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon
 a rock.
   Luke|6:49  But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without
 a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did
 beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was
 great.
   Luke|7:1  Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the

 people, he entered into Capernaum.
   Luke|7:2  And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was
 sick, and ready to die.
   Luke|7:3  And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the
 Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
   Luke|7:4  And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly,
 saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
   Luke|7:5  For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
   Luke|7:6  Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the
 house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble
 not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
   Luke|7:7  Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee:
 but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
   Luke|7:8  For I also am a man set under authority, having under me
 soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and
 he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth [it].
   Luke|7:9  When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned
 him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I
 have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
   Luke|7:10  And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the
 servant whole that had been sick.

   Luke|7:11  And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city
 called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
   Luke|7:12  Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there
 was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a
 widow: and much people of the city was with her.
   Luke|7:13  And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said
 unto her, Weep not.
   Luke|7:14  And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare [him]
 stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
   Luke|7:15  And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he
 delivered him to his mother.
   Luke|7:16  And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying,
 That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his
 people.
   Luke|7:17  And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and
 throughout all the region round about.
   Luke|7:18  And the disciples of John showed him of all these things.
   Luke|7:19  And John calling [unto him] two of his disciples sent [them]
 to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
   Luke|7:20  When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath
 sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for

 another?
   Luke|7:21  And in that same hour he cured many of [their] infirmities and
 plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many [that were] blind he gave
 sight.
   Luke|7:22  Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell
 John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame
 walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the
 poor the gospel is preached.
   Luke|7:23  And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.
   Luke|7:24  And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to
 speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness
 for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
   Luke|7:25  But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft
 raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately,
 are in kings' courts.
   Luke|7:26  But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto
 you, and much more than a prophet.
   Luke|7:27  This is [he], of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
 messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
   Luke|7:28  For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there
 is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the

 kingdom of God is greater than he.
   Luke|7:29  And all the people that heard [him], and the publicans,
 justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
   Luke|7:30  But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God
 against themselves, being not baptized of him.
   Luke|7:31  And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of
 this generation? and to what are they like?
   Luke|7:32  They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and
 calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not
 danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
   Luke|7:33  For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking
 wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
   Luke|7:34  The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold
 a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
   Luke|7:35  But wisdom is justified of all her children.
   Luke|7:36  And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with
 him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
   Luke|7:37  And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she
 knew that [Jesus] sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster
 box of ointment,
   Luke|7:38  And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began to wash

 his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head, and
 kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment.
   Luke|7:39  Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw [it], he spake
 within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known
 who and what manner of woman [this is] that toucheth him: for she is a
 sinner.
   Luke|7:40  And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to
 say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
   Luke|7:41  There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one
 owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
   Luke|7:42  And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
 both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
   Luke|7:43  Simon answered and said, I suppose that [he], to whom he
 forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
   Luke|7:44  And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou
 this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my
 feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped [them] with the
 hairs of her head.
   Luke|7:45  Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came
 in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
   Luke|7:46  My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath

 anointed my feet with ointment.
   Luke|7:47  Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are
 forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, [the same]
 loveth little.
   Luke|7:48  And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
   Luke|7:49  And they that sat at meat with him began to say within
 themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
   Luke|7:50  And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in
 peace.
   Luke|8:1  And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every
 city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of
 God: and the twelve [were] with him,
   Luke|8:2  And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and
 infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
   Luke|8:3  And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and
 many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
   Luke|8:4  And when much people were gathered together, and were come to
 him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
   Luke|8:5  A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by
 the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured
 it.

   Luke|8:6  And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
 withered away, because it lacked moisture.
   Luke|8:7  And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it,
 and choked it.
   Luke|8:8  And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an
 hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears
 to hear, let him hear.
   Luke|8:9  And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable
 be?
   Luke|8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the
 kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see,
 and hearing they might not understand.
   Luke|8:11  Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
   Luke|8:12  Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the
 devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should
 believe and be saved.
   Luke|8:13  They on the rock [are they], which, when they hear, receive
 the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and
 in time of temptation fall away.
   Luke|8:14  And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they
 have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of

 [this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
   Luke|8:15  But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and
 good heart, having heard the word, keep [it], and bring forth fruit with
 patience.
   Luke|8:16  No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a
 vessel, or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick,
 that they which enter in may see the light.
   Luke|8:17  For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest;
 neither [any thing] hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
   Luke|8:18  Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him
 shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that
 which he seemeth to have.
   Luke|8:19  Then came to him [his] mother and his brethren, and could not
 come at him for the press.
   Luke|8:20  And it was told him [by certain] which said, Thy mother and
 thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
   Luke|8:21  And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren
 are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
   Luke|8:22  Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship
 with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other
 side of the lake. And they launched forth.

   Luke|8:23  But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm
 of wind on the lake; and they were filled [with water], and were in
 jeopardy.
   Luke|8:24  And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master,
 we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water:
 and they ceased, and there was a calm.
   Luke|8:25  And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being
 afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he
 commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
   Luke|8:26  And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is
 over against Galilee.
   Luke|8:27  And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city
 a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither
 abode in [any] house, but in the tombs.
   Luke|8:28  When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and
 with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, [thou] Son of
 God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
   Luke|8:29  (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the
 man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains
 and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into
 the wilderness.)

   Luke|8:30  And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said,
 Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
   Luke|8:31  And they besought him that he would not command them to go out
 into the deep.
   Luke|8:32  And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the
 mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into
 them. And he suffered them.
   Luke|8:33  Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the
 swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and
 were choked.
   Luke|8:34  When they that fed [them] saw what was done, they fled, and
 went and told [it] in the city and in the country.
   Luke|8:35  Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus,
 and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the
 feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
   Luke|8:36  They also which saw [it] told them by what means he that was
 possessed of the devils was healed.
   Luke|8:37  Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round
 about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great
 fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
   Luke|8:38  Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him

 that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
   Luke|8:39  Return to thine own house, and show how great things God hath
 done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole
 city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
   Luke|8:40  And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people
 [gladly] received him: for they were all waiting for him.
   Luke|8:41  And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler
 of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he
 would come into his house:
   Luke|8:42  For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and
 she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
   Luke|8:43  And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had
 spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
   Luke|8:44  Came behind [him], and touched the border of his garment: and
 immediately her issue of blood stanched.
   Luke|8:45  And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and
 they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press
 [thee], and sayest thou, Who touched me?
   Luke|8:46  And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that
 virtue is gone out of me.
   Luke|8:47  And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came

 trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all
 the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed
 immediately.
   Luke|8:48  And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith
 hath made thee whole; go in peace.
   Luke|8:49  While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the
 synagogue's [house], saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the
 Master.
   Luke|8:50  But when Jesus heard [it], he answered him, saying, Fear not:
 believe only, and she shall be made whole.
   Luke|8:51  And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in,
 save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the
 maiden.
   Luke|8:52  And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is
 not dead, but sleepeth.
   Luke|8:53  And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
   Luke|8:54  And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,
 saying, Maid, arise.
   Luke|8:55  And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he
 commanded to give her meat.
   Luke|8:56  And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they

 should tell no man what was done.
   Luke|9:1  Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them
 power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
   Luke|9:2  And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the
 sick.
   Luke|9:3  And he said unto them, Take nothing for [your] journey, neither
 staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats
 apiece.
   Luke|9:4  And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence
 depart.
   Luke|9:5  And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that
 city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
   Luke|9:6  And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the
 gospel, and healing every where.
   Luke|9:7  Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and
 he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen
 from the dead;
   Luke|9:8  And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one
 of the old prophets was risen again.
   Luke|9:9  And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom
 I hear such things? And he desired to see him.

   Luke|9:10  And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that
 they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert
 place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
   Luke|9:11  And the people, when they knew [it], followed him: and he
 received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them
 that had need of healing.
   Luke|9:12  And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and
 said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and
 country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a
 desert place.
   Luke|9:13  But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We
 have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy
 meat for all this people.
   Luke|9:14  For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his
 disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
   Luke|9:15  And they did so, and made them all sit down.
   Luke|9:16  Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking
 up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set
 before the multitude.
   Luke|9:17  And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up
 of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

   Luke|9:18  And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples
 were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
   Luke|9:19  They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elias;
 and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.
   Luke|9:20  He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering
 said, The Christ of God.
   Luke|9:21  And he straitly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no
 man that thing;
   Luke|9:22  Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be
 rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be
 raised the third day.
   Luke|9:23  And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me,
 let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
   Luke|9:24  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever
 will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
   Luke|9:25  For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and
 lose himself, or be cast away?
   Luke|9:26  For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him
 shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and
 [in his] Father's, and of the holy angels.
   Luke|9:27  But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which

 shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
   Luke|9:28  And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings,
 he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
   Luke|9:29  And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
 and his raiment [was] white [and] glistering.
   Luke|9:30  And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses
 and Elias:
   Luke|9:31  Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he
 should accomplish at Jerusalem.
   Luke|9:32  But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep:
 and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood
 with him.
   Luke|9:33  And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said
 unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three
 tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not
 knowing what he said.
   Luke|9:34  While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed
 them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
   Luke|9:35  And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my
 beloved Son: hear him.
   Luke|9:36  And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they

 kept [it] close, and told no man in those days any of those things which
 they had seen.
   Luke|9:37  And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come
 down from the hill, much people met him.
   Luke|9:38  And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I
 beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
   Luke|9:39  And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and
 it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth
 from him.
   Luke|9:40  And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could
 not.
   Luke|9:41  And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation,
 how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
   Luke|9:42  And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare
 [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and
 delivered him again to his father.
   Luke|9:43  And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while
 they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his
 disciples,
   Luke|9:44  Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man
 shall be delivered into the hands of men.

   Luke|9:45  But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them,
 that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
   Luke|9:46  Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should
 be greatest.
   Luke|9:47  And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a
 child, and set him by him,
   Luke|9:48  And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my
 name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent
 me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
   Luke|9:49  And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out
 devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
   Luke|9:50  And Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not
 against us is for us.
   Luke|9:51  And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be
 received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
   Luke|9:52  And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and
 entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
   Luke|9:53  And they did not receive him, because his face was as though
 he would go to Jerusalem.
   Luke|9:54  And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said,
 Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume

 them, even as Elias did?
   Luke|9:55  But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what
 manner of spirit ye are of.
   Luke|9:56  For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to
 save [them]. And they went to another village.
   Luke|9:57  And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain
 [man] said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
   Luke|9:58  And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the
 air [have] nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay [his] head.
   Luke|9:59  And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer
 me first to go and bury my father.
   Luke|9:60  Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou
 and preach the kingdom of God.
   Luke|9:61  And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me
 first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
   Luke|9:62  And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the
 plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
   Luke|10:1  After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and
 sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he
 himself would come.
   Luke|10:2  Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but

 the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
 would send forth labourers into his harvest.
   Luke|10:3  Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
   Luke|10:4  Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man
 by the way.
   Luke|10:5  And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace [be] to
 this house.
   Luke|10:6  And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon
 it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
   Luke|10:7  And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things
 as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to
 house.
   Luke|10:8  And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat
 such things as are set before you:
   Luke|10:9  And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The
 kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
   Luke|10:10  But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not,
 go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
   Luke|10:11  Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do
 wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom
 of God is come nigh unto you.

   Luke|10:12  But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that
 day for Sodom, than for that city.
   Luke|10:13  Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
 mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you,
 they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
   Luke|10:14  But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the
 judgment, than for you.
   Luke|10:15  And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be
 thrust down to hell.
   Luke|10:16  He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you
 despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
   Luke|10:17  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even
 the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
   Luke|10:18  And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from
 heaven.
   Luke|10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and
 scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any
 means hurt you.
   Luke|10:20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are
 subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in
 heaven.

   Luke|10:21  In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank
 thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things
 from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so,
 Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
   Luke|10:22  All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man
 knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son,
 and [he] to whom the Son will reveal [him].
   Luke|10:23  And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately,
 Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see:
   Luke|10:24  For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to
 see those things which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear those
 things which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
   Luke|10:25  And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
 saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
   Luke|10:26  He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest
 thou?
   Luke|10:27  And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
 all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with
 all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
   Luke|10:28  And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and
 thou shalt live.

   Luke|10:29  But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who
 is my neighbour?
   Luke|10:30  And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from
 Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his
 raiment, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.
   Luke|10:31  And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and
 when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
   Luke|10:32  And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and
 looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.
   Luke|10:33  But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was:
 and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],
   Luke|10:34  And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil
 and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took
 care of him.
   Luke|10:35  And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence,
 and gave [them] to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and
 whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
   Luke|10:36  Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto
 him that fell among the thieves?
   Luke|10:37  And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus
 unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

   Luke|10:38  Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a
 certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her
 house.
   Luke|10:39  And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus'
 feet, and heard his word.
   Luke|10:40  But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him,
 and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve
 alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
   Luke|10:41  And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou
 art careful and troubled about many things:
   Luke|10:42  But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good
 part, which shall not be taken away from her.
   Luke|11:1  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain
 place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us
 to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
   Luke|11:2  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art
 in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in
 heaven, so in earth.
   Luke|11:3  Give us day by day our daily bread.
   Luke|11:4  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is
 indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

   Luke|11:5  And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and
 shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three
 loaves;
   Luke|11:6  For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have
 nothing to set before him?
   Luke|11:7  And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the
 door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and
 give thee.
   Luke|11:8  I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because
 he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him
 as many as he needeth.
   Luke|11:9  And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and
 ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
   Luke|11:10  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
 findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
   Luke|11:11  If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will
 he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a
 serpent?
   Luke|11:12  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
   Luke|11:13  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
 children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit

 to them that ask him?
   Luke|11:14  And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came
 to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people
 wondered.
   Luke|11:15  But some of them said, He casteth out devils through
 Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
   Luke|11:16  And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.
   Luke|11:17  But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom
 divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided]
 against a house falleth.
   Luke|11:18  If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his
 kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
   Luke|11:19  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons
 cast [them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.
   Luke|11:20  But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the
 kingdom of God is come upon you.
   Luke|11:21  When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in
 peace:
   Luke|11:22  But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome
 him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his
 spoils.

   Luke|11:23  He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth
 not with me scattereth.
   Luke|11:24  When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
 through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return
 unto my house whence I came out.
   Luke|11:25  And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and garnished.
   Luke|11:26  Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more
 wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last
 [state] of that man is worse than the first.
   Luke|11:27  And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain
 woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed [is]
 the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
   Luke|11:28  But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear the
 word of God, and keep it.
   Luke|11:29  And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to
 say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign
 be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
   Luke|11:30  For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the
 Son of man be to this generation.
   Luke|11:31  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the
 men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost

 parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater
 than Solomon [is] here.
   Luke|11:32  The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this
 generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of
 Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
   Luke|11:33  No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a
 secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which
 come in may see the light.
   Luke|11:34  The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is
 single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thine eye] is evil,
 thy body also [is] full of darkness.
   Luke|11:35  Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not
 darkness.
   Luke|11:36  If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no
 part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of
 a candle doth give thee light.
   Luke|11:37  And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with
 him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
   Luke|11:38  And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he had not
 first washed before dinner.
   Luke|11:39  And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean

 the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of
 ravening and wickedness.
   Luke|11:40  [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without make
 that which is within also?
   Luke|11:41  But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold,
 all things are clean unto you.
   Luke|11:42  But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and
 all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these
 ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
   Luke|11:43  Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in
 the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
   Luke|11:44  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are
 as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] are not aware
 [of them].
   Luke|11:45  Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master,
 thus saying thou reproachest us also.
   Luke|11:46  And he said, Woe unto you also, [ye] lawyers! for ye lade men
 with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens
 with one of your fingers.
   Luke|11:47  Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets,
 and your fathers killed them.

   Luke|11:48  Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your
 fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
   Luke|11:49  Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them
 prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute:
   Luke|11:50  That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the
 foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
   Luke|11:51  From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which
 perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall
 be required of this generation.
   Luke|11:52  Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of
 knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye
 hindered.
   Luke|11:53  And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the
 Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of
 many things:
   Luke|11:54  Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of
 his mouth, that they might accuse him.
   Luke|12:1  In the mean time, when there were gathered together an
 innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another,
 he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of
 the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

   Luke|12:2  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
 neither hid, that shall not be known.
   Luke|12:3  Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard
 in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be
 proclaimed upon the housetops.
   Luke|12:4  And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill
 the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
   Luke|12:5  But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which
 after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you,
 Fear him.
   Luke|12:6  Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of
 them is forgotten before God?
   Luke|12:7  But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear
 not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
   Luke|12:8  Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men,
 him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
   Luke|12:9  But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the
 angels of God.
   Luke|12:10  And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it
 shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost
 it shall not be forgiven.

   Luke|12:11  And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and [unto]
 magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall
 answer, or what ye shall say:
   Luke|12:12  For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye
 ought to say.
   Luke|12:13  And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my
 brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
   Luke|12:14  And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider
 over you?
   Luke|12:15  And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness:
 for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he
 possesseth.
   Luke|12:16  And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a
 certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
   Luke|12:17  And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do,
 because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
   Luke|12:18  And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and
 build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
   Luke|12:19  And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up
 for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
   Luke|12:20  But God said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall

 be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast
 provided?
   Luke|12:21  So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not
 rich toward God.
   Luke|12:22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you,
 Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body,
 what ye shall put on.
   Luke|12:23  The life is more than meat, and the body [is more] than
 raiment.
   Luke|12:24  Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which
 neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are
 ye better than the fowls?
   Luke|12:25  And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature
 one cubit?
   Luke|12:26  If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why
 take ye thought for the rest?
   Luke|12:27  Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin
 not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
 like one of these.
   Luke|12:28  If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the
 field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe]

 you, O ye of little faith?
   Luke|12:29  And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink,
 neither be ye of doubtful mind.
   Luke|12:30  For all these things do the nations of the world seek after:
 and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
   Luke|12:31  But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things
 shall be added unto you.
   Luke|12:32  Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure
 to give you the kingdom.
   Luke|12:33  Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags
 which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no
 thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
   Luke|12:34  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
   Luke|12:35  Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning;
   Luke|12:36  And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord,
 when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh,
 they may open unto him immediately.
   Luke|12:37  Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh
 shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and
 make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
   Luke|12:38  And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the

 third watch, and find [them] so, blessed are those servants.
   Luke|12:39  And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known
 what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have
 suffered his house to be broken through.
   Luke|12:40  Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an
 hour when ye think not.
   Luke|12:41  Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable
 unto us, or even to all?
   Luke|12:42  And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise
 steward, whom [his] lord shall make ruler over his household, to give [them
 their] portion of meat in due season?
   Luke|12:43  Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall
 find so doing.
   Luke|12:44  Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over
 all that he hath.
   Luke|12:45  But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth
 his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat
 and drink, and to be drunken;
   Luke|12:46  The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh
 not for [him], and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in
 sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

   Luke|12:47  And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared
 not [himself], neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many
 [stripes].
   Luke|12:48  But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of
 stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For unto whomsoever much is
 given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much,
 of him they will ask the more.
   Luke|12:49  I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it
 be already kindled?
   Luke|12:50  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I
 straitened till it be accomplished!
   Luke|12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you,
 Nay; but rather division:
   Luke|12:52  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided,
 three against two, and two against three.
   Luke|12:53  The father shall be divided against the son, and the son
 against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter
 against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the
 daughter in law against her mother in law.
   Luke|12:54  And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out
 of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.

   Luke|12:55  And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be
 heat; and it cometh to pass.
   Luke|12:56  [Ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of
 the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
   Luke|12:57  Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
   Luke|12:58  When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, [as
 thou art] in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from
 him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the
 officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
   Luke|12:59  I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast
 paid the very last mite.
   Luke|13:1  There were present at that season some that told him of the
 Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
   Luke|13:2  And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these
 Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered
 such things?
   Luke|13:3  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
 perish.
   Luke|13:4  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and
 slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in
 Jerusalem?

   Luke|13:5  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise
 perish.
   Luke|13:6  He spake also this parable; A certain [man] had a fig tree
 planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found
 none.
   Luke|13:7  Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these
 three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it
 down; why cumbereth it the ground?
   Luke|13:8  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year
 also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:
   Luke|13:9  And if it bear fruit, [well]: and if not, [then] after that
 thou shalt cut it down.
   Luke|13:10  And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
   Luke|13:11  And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of
 infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift
 up [herself].
   Luke|13:12  And when Jesus saw her, he called [her to him], and said unto
 her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
   Luke|13:13  And he laid [his] hands on her: and immediately she was made
 straight, and glorified God.
   Luke|13:14  And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation,

 because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people,
 There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and
 be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
   Luke|13:15  The Lord then answered him, and said, [Thou] hypocrite, doth
 not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or [his] ass from the
 stall, and lead [him] away to watering?
   Luke|13:16  And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom
 Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the
 sabbath day?
   Luke|13:17  And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were
 ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were
 done by him.
   Luke|13:18  Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and
 whereunto shall I resemble it?
   Luke|13:19  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and
 cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of
 the air lodged in the branches of it.
   Luke|13:20  And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of
 God?
   Luke|13:21  It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three
 measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

   Luke|13:22  And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and
 journeying toward Jerusalem.
   Luke|13:23  Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved?
 And he said unto them,
   Luke|13:24  Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto
 you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
   Luke|13:25  When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut
 to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door,
 saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I
 know you not whence ye are:
   Luke|13:26  Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy
 presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
   Luke|13:27  But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are;
 depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
   Luke|13:28  There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall
 see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of
 God, and you [yourselves] thrust out.
   Luke|13:29  And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west, and
 from the north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of
 God.
   Luke|13:30  And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there

 are first which shall be last.
   Luke|13:31  The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto
 him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
   Luke|13:32  And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I
 cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third [day] I
 shall be perfected.
   Luke|13:33  Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day]
 following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
   Luke|13:34  O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and
 stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy
 children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under [her] wings, and
 ye would not!
   Luke|13:35  Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I
 say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until [the time] come when ye shall say,
 Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
   Luke|14:1  And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the
 chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
   Luke|14:2  And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the
 dropsy.
   Luke|14:3  And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees,
 saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?

   Luke|14:4  And they held their peace. And he took [him], and healed him,
 and let him go;
   Luke|14:5  And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or
 an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the
 sabbath day?
   Luke|14:6  And they could not answer him again to these things.
   Luke|14:7  And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he
 marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
   Luke|14:8  When thou art bidden of any [man] to a wedding, sit not down
 in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
   Luke|14:9  And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this
 man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
   Luke|14:10  But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room;
 that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up
 higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at
 meat with thee.
   Luke|14:11  For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that
 humbleth himself shall be exalted.
   Luke|14:12  Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a
 dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy
 kinsmen, nor [thy] rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a

 recompense be made thee.
   Luke|14:13  But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the
 lame, the blind:
   Luke|14:14  And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee:
 for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
   Luke|14:15  And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these
 things, he said unto him, Blessed [is] he that shall eat bread in the
 kingdom of God.
   Luke|14:16  Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and
 bade many:
   Luke|14:17  And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were
 bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
   Luke|14:18  And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The
 first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go
 and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
   Luke|14:19  And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go
 to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
   Luke|14:20  And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I
 cannot come.
   Luke|14:21  So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then
 the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly

 into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and
 the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
   Luke|14:22  And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast
 commanded, and yet there is room.
   Luke|14:23  And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways
 and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled.
   Luke|14:24  For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden
 shall taste of my supper.
   Luke|14:25  And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and
 said unto them,
   Luke|14:26  If any [man] come to me, and hate not his father, and mother,
 and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life
 also, he cannot be my disciple.
   Luke|14:27  And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me,
 cannot be my disciple.
   Luke|14:28  For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not
 down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish
 [it]?
   Luke|14:29  Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not
 able to finish [it], all that behold [it] begin to mock him,
   Luke|14:30  Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

   Luke|14:31  Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth
 not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet
 him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
   Luke|14:32  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth
 an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
   Luke|14:33  So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all
 that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
   Luke|14:34  Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour,
 wherewith shall it be seasoned?
   Luke|14:35  It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill;
 [but] men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
   Luke|15:1  Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to
 hear him.
   Luke|15:2  And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man
 receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
   Luke|15:3  And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
   Luke|15:4  What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of
 them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after
 that which is lost, until he find it?
   Luke|15:5  And when he hath found [it], he layeth [it] on his shoulders,
 rejoicing.

   Luke|15:6  And when he cometh home, he calleth together [his] friends and
 neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep
 which was lost.
   Luke|15:7  I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one
 sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which
 need no repentance.
   Luke|15:8  Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one
 piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently
 till she find [it]?
   Luke|15:9  And when she hath found [it], she calleth [her] friends and
 [her] neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the
 piece which I had lost.
   Luke|15:10  Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the
 angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
   Luke|15:11  And he said, A certain man had two sons:
   Luke|15:12  And the younger of them said to [his] father, Father, give me
 the portion of goods that falleth [to me]. And he divided unto them [his]
 living.
   Luke|15:13  And not many days after the younger son gathered all
 together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his
 substance with riotous living.

   Luke|15:14  And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in
 that land; and he began to be in want.
   Luke|15:15  And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country;
 and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
   Luke|15:16  And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that
 the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
   Luke|15:17  And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants
 of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
   Luke|15:18  I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him,
 Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
   Luke|15:19  And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of
 thy hired servants.
   Luke|15:20  And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a
 great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on
 his neck, and kissed him.
   Luke|15:21  And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against
 heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
   Luke|15:22  But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best
 robe, and put [it] on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on [his]
 feet:
   Luke|15:23  And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it]; and let us

 eat, and be merry:
   Luke|15:24  For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost,
 and is found. And they began to be merry.
   Luke|15:25  Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew
 nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing.
   Luke|15:26  And he called one of the servants, and asked what these
 things meant.
   Luke|15:27  And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father
 hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
   Luke|15:28  And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his
 father out, and entreated him.
   Luke|15:29  And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many years
 do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and
 yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
   Luke|15:30  But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy
 living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
   Luke|15:31  And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all
 that I have is thine.
   Luke|15:32  It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this
 thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
   Luke|16:1  And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich

 man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had
 wasted his goods.
   Luke|16:2  And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear
 this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no
 longer steward.
   Luke|16:3  Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my
 lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am
 ashamed.
   Luke|16:4  I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the
 stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
   Luke|16:5  So he called every one of his lord's debtors [unto him], and
 said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
   Luke|16:6  And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him,
 Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
   Luke|16:7  Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said,
 An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and
 write fourscore.
   Luke|16:8  And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done
 wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than
 the children of light.
   Luke|16:9  And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon

 of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into
 everlasting habitations.
   Luke|16:10  He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also
 in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
   Luke|16:11  If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous
 mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
   Luke|16:12  And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another
 man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
   Luke|16:13  No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the
 one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the
 other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
   Luke|16:14  And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these
 things: and they derided him.
   Luke|16:15  And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves
 before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed
 among men is abomination in the sight of God.
   Luke|16:16  The law and the prophets [were] until John: since that time
 the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
   Luke|16:17  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one
 tittle of the law to fail.
   Luke|16:18  Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another,

 committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from [her]
 husband committeth adultery.
   Luke|16:19  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and
 fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
   Luke|16:20  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid
 at his gate, full of sores,
   Luke|16:21  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the
 rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
   Luke|16:22  And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by
 the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
   Luke|16:23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
 Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
   Luke|16:24  And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and
 send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my
 tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
   Luke|16:25  But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
 receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is
 comforted, and thou art tormented.
   Luke|16:26  And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf
 fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can
 they pass to us, that [would come] from thence.

   Luke|16:27  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou
 wouldest send him to my father's house:
   Luke|16:28  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest
 they also come into this place of torment.
   Luke|16:29  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let
 them hear them.
   Luke|16:30  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them
 from the dead, they will repent.
   Luke|16:31  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the
 prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
 17:1  Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences
 will come: but woe [unto him], through whom they come!
   Luke|17:2  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his
 neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these
 little ones.
   Luke|17:3  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee,
 rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
   Luke|17:4  And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and
 seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt
 forgive him.
   Luke|17:5  And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

   Luke|17:6  And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed,
 ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and
 be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
   Luke|17:7  But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle,
 will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit
 down to meat?
   Luke|17:8  And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may
 sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and
 afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
   Luke|17:9  Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were
 commanded him? I trow not.
   Luke|17:10  So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things
 which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done
 that which was our duty to do.
   Luke|17:11  And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed
 through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
   Luke|17:12  And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten
 men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
   Luke|17:13  And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master,
 have mercy on us.
   Luke|17:14  And when he saw [them], he said unto them, Go show yourselves

 unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were
 cleansed.
   Luke|17:15  And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
 and with a loud voice glorified God,
   Luke|17:16  And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks:
 and he was a Samaritan.
   Luke|17:17  And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but
 where [are] the nine?
   Luke|17:18  There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save
 this stranger.
   Luke|17:19  And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made
 thee whole.
   Luke|17:20  And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom
 of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh
 not with observation:
   Luke|17:21  Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold,
 the kingdom of God is within you.
   Luke|17:22  And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye
 shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see
 [it].
   Luke|17:23  And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not

 after [them], nor follow [them].
   Luke|17:24  For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part]
 under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the
 Son of man be in his day.
   Luke|17:25  But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this
 generation.
   Luke|17:26  And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the
 days of the Son of man.
   Luke|17:27  They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given
 in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood
 came, and destroyed them all.
   Luke|17:28  Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat,
 they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
   Luke|17:29  But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire
 and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed [them] all.
   Luke|17:30  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
 revealed.
   Luke|17:31  In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his
 stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is
 in the field, let him likewise not return back.
   Luke|17:32  Remember Lot's wife.

   Luke|17:33  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and
 whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
   Luke|17:34  I tell you, in that night there shall be two [men] in one
 bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
   Luke|17:35  Two [women] shall be grinding together; the one shall be
 taken, and the other left.
   Luke|17:36  Two [men] shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and
 the other left.
   Luke|17:37  And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said
 unto them, Wheresoever the body [is], thither will the eagles be gathered
 together.
   Luke|18:1  And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought
 always to pray, and not to faint;
   Luke|18:2  Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God,
 neither regarded man:
   Luke|18:3  And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him,
 saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
   Luke|18:4  And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within
 himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
   Luke|18:5  Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest
 by her continual coming she weary me.

   Luke|18:6  And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
   Luke|18:7  And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and
 night unto him, though he bear long with them?
   Luke|18:8  I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless
 when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
   Luke|18:9  And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in
 themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
   Luke|18:10  Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee,
 and the other a publican.
   Luke|18:11  The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank
 thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
 or even as this publican.
   Luke|18:12  I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
 possess.
   Luke|18:13  And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so
 much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
 merciful to me a sinner.
   Luke|18:14  I tell you, this man went down to his house justified
 [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be
 abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
   Luke|18:15  And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch

 them: but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.
   Luke|18:16  But Jesus called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little
 children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom
 of God.
   Luke|18:17  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
 kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
   Luke|18:18  And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what
 shall I do to inherit eternal life?
   Luke|18:19  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none [is]
 good, save one, [that is], God.
   Luke|18:20  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not
 kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy
 mother.
   Luke|18:21  And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
   Luke|18:22  Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet
 lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the
 poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
   Luke|18:23  And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was
 very rich.
   Luke|18:24  And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How
 hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

   Luke|18:25  For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye,
 than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
   Luke|18:26  And they that heard [it] said, Who then can be saved?
   Luke|18:27  And he said, The things which are impossible with men are
 possible with God.
   Luke|18:28  Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
   Luke|18:29  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man
 that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for
 the kingdom of God's sake,
   Luke|18:30  Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and
 in the world to come life everlasting.
   Luke|18:31  Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them,
 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the
 prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
   Luke|18:32  For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be
 mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
   Luke|18:33  And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the
 third day he shall rise again.
   Luke|18:34  And they understood none of these things: and this saying was
 hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
   Luke|18:35  And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a

 certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
   Luke|18:36  And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
   Luke|18:37  And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
   Luke|18:38  And he cried, saying, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have mercy
 on me.
   Luke|18:39  And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold
 his peace: but he cried so much the more, [Thou] son of David, have mercy
 on me.
   Luke|18:40  And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him:
 and when he was come near, he asked him,
   Luke|18:41  Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he
 said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
   Luke|18:42  And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath
 saved thee.
   Luke|18:43  And immediately he received his sight, and followed him,
 glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw [it], gave praise unto
 God.
   Luke|19:1  And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
   Luke|19:2  And, behold, [there was] a man named Zacchaeus, which was the
 chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
   Luke|19:3  And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the

 press, because he was little of stature.
   Luke|19:4  And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see
 him: for he was to pass that [way].
   Luke|19:5  And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him,
 and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must
 abide at thy house.
   Luke|19:6  And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
   Luke|19:7  And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was
 gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
   Luke|19:8  And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the
 half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any
 man by false accusation, I restore [him] fourfold.
   Luke|19:9  And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this
 house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
   Luke|19:10  For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was
 lost.
   Luke|19:11  And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable,
 because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom
 of God should immediately appear.
   Luke|19:12  He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country
 to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

   Luke|19:13  And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten
 pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
   Luke|19:14  But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him,
 saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
   Luke|19:15  And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having
 received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto
 him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man
 had gained by trading.
   Luke|19:16  Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten
 pounds.
   Luke|19:17  And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou
 hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
   Luke|19:18  And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five
 pounds.
   Luke|19:19  And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
   Luke|19:20  And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound,
 which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
   Luke|19:21  For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou
 takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
   Luke|19:22  And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge
 thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking

 up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
   Luke|19:23  Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that
 at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
   Luke|19:24  And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound,
 and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
   Luke|19:25  (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
   Luke|19:26  For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be
 given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away
 from him.
   Luke|19:27  But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign
 over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
   Luke|19:28  And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to
 Jerusalem.
   Luke|19:29  And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and
 Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his
 disciples,
   Luke|19:30  Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in the
 which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man
 sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].
   Luke|19:31  And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye
 say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

   Luke|19:32  And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he
 had said unto them.
   Luke|19:33  And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said
 unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
   Luke|19:34  And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
   Luke|19:35  And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments
 upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
   Luke|19:36  And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
   Luke|19:37  And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the
 mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and
 praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
   Luke|19:38  Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the
 Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
   Luke|19:39  And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto
 him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
   Luke|19:40  And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these
 should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
   Luke|19:41  And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over
 it,
   Luke|19:42  Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy
 day, the things [which belong] unto thy peace! but now they are hid from

 thine eyes.
   Luke|19:43  For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall
 cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every
 side,
   Luke|19:44  And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children
 within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another;
 because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
   Luke|19:45  And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that
 sold therein, and them that bought;
   Luke|19:46  Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of
 prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
   Luke|19:47  And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and
 the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
   Luke|19:48  And could not find what they might do: for all the people
 were very attentive to hear him.
   Luke|20:1  And it came to pass, [that] on one of those days, as he taught
 the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and
 the scribes came upon [him] with the elders,
   Luke|20:2  And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest
 thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
   Luke|20:3  And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one

 thing; and answer me:
   Luke|20:4  The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
   Luke|20:5  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,
 From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
   Luke|20:6  But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for
 they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
   Luke|20:7  And they answered, that they could not tell whence [it was].
   Luke|20:8  And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority
 I do these things.
   Luke|20:9  Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain
 man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far
 country for a long time.
   Luke|20:10  And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that
 they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat
 him, and sent [him] away empty.
   Luke|20:11  And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also,
 and entreated [him] shamefully, and sent [him] away empty.
   Luke|20:12  And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and
 cast [him] out.
   Luke|20:13  Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will
 send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence [him] when they see him.

   Luke|20:14  But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among
 themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the
 inheritance may be ours.
   Luke|20:15  So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What
 therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
   Luke|20:16  He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give
 the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, God forbid.
   Luke|20:17  And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is
 written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head
 of the corner?
   Luke|20:18  Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on
 whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
   Luke|20:19  And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to
 lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he
 had spoken this parable against them.
   Luke|20:20  And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which should
 feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so
 they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
   Luke|20:21  And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest
 and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but
 teachest the way of God truly:

   Luke|20:22  Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
   Luke|20:23  But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why
 tempt ye me?
   Luke|20:24  Show me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They
 answered and said, Caesar's.
   Luke|20:25  And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the
 things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
   Luke|20:26  And they could not take hold of his words before the people:
 and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
   Luke|20:27  Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which deny that
 there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
   Luke|20:28  Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother
 die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should
 take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
   Luke|20:29  There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a
 wife, and died without children.
   Luke|20:30  And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
   Luke|20:31  And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also:
 and they left no children, and died.
   Luke|20:32  Last of all the woman died also.
   Luke|20:33  Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for

 seven had her to wife.
   Luke|20:34  And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this
 world marry, and are given in marriage:
   Luke|20:35  But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that
 world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in
 marriage:
   Luke|20:36  Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the
 angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the
 resurrection.
   Luke|20:37  Now that the dead are raised, even Moses showed at the bush,
 when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the
 God of Jacob.
   Luke|20:38  For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all
 live unto him.
   Luke|20:39  Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast
 well said.
   Luke|20:40  And after that they durst not ask him any [question at all].
   Luke|20:41  And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's
 son?
   Luke|20:42  And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said
 unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

   Luke|20:43  Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
   Luke|20:44  David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
   Luke|20:45  Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his
 disciples,
   Luke|20:46  Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes,
 and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues,
 and the chief rooms at feasts;
   Luke|20:47  Which devour widows' houses, and for a show make long
 prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
   Luke|21:1  And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts
 into the treasury.
   Luke|21:2  And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two
 mites.
   Luke|21:3  And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow
 hath cast in more than they all:
   Luke|21:4  For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the
 offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that
 she had.
   Luke|21:5  And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with
 goodly stones and gifts, he said,
   Luke|21:6  [As for] these things which ye behold, the days will come, in

 the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be
 thrown down.
   Luke|21:7  And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these
 things be? and what sign [will there be] when these things shall come to
 pass?
   Luke|21:8  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall
 come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye
 not therefore after them.
   Luke|21:9  But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not
 terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end [is] not
 by and by.
   Luke|21:10  Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and
 kingdom against kingdom:
   Luke|21:11  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,
 and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from
 heaven.
   Luke|21:12  But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and
 persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues, and into prisons,
 being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
   Luke|21:13  And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
   Luke|21:14  Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before

 what ye shall answer:
   Luke|21:15  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your
 adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
   Luke|21:16  And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
 kinsfolks, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to
 death.
   Luke|21:17  And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.
   Luke|21:18  But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
   Luke|21:19  In your patience possess ye your souls.
   Luke|21:20  And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then
 know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
   Luke|21:21  Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and
 let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are
 in the countries enter thereinto.
   Luke|21:22  For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are
 written may be fulfilled.
   Luke|21:23  But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give
 suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and
 wrath upon this people.
   Luke|21:24  And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be
 led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of

 the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
   Luke|21:25  And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in
 the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea
 and the waves roaring;
   Luke|21:26  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after
 those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall
 be shaken.
   Luke|21:27  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
 power and great glory.
   Luke|21:28  And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up,
 and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
   Luke|21:29  And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all
 the trees;
   Luke|21:30  When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves
 that summer is now nigh at hand.
   Luke|21:31  So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know
 ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
   Luke|21:32  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away,
 till all be fulfilled.
   Luke|21:33  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass
 away.

   Luke|21:34  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
 overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and
 [so] that day come upon you unawares.
   Luke|21:35  For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the
 face of the whole earth.
   Luke|21:36  Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
 worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand
 before the Son of man.
   Luke|21:37  And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at
 night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called [the mount] of
 Olives.
   Luke|21:38  And all the people came early in the morning to him in the
 temple, for to hear him.
   Luke|22:1  Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called
 the Passover.
   Luke|22:2  And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill
 him; for they feared the people.
   Luke|22:3  Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the
 number of the twelve.
   Luke|22:4  And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and
 captains, how he might betray him unto them.

   Luke|22:5  And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
   Luke|22:6  And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto
 them in the absence of the multitude.
   Luke|22:7  Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must
 be killed.
   Luke|22:8  And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the
 passover, that we may eat.
   Luke|22:9  And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
   Luke|22:10  And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the
 city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him
 into the house where he entereth in.
   Luke|22:11  And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master
 saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover
 with my disciples?
   Luke|22:12  And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there
 make ready.
   Luke|22:13  And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they
 made ready the passover.
   Luke|22:14  And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve
 apostles with him.
   Luke|22:15  And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this

 passover with you before I suffer:
   Luke|22:16  For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it
 be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
   Luke|22:17  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this,
 and divide [it] among yourselves:
   Luke|22:18  For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the
 vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
   Luke|22:19  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake [it], and gave
 unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in
 remembrance of me.
   Luke|22:20  Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup [is] the
 new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
   Luke|22:21  But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me
 on the table.
   Luke|22:22  And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe
 unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
   Luke|22:23  And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it
 was that should do this thing.
   Luke|22:24  And there was also a strife among them, which of them should
 be accounted the greatest.
   Luke|22:25  And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise

 lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called
 benefactors.
   Luke|22:26  But ye [shall] not [be] so: but he that is greatest among
 you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth
 serve.
   Luke|22:27  For whether [is] greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that
 serveth? [is] not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that
 serveth.
   Luke|22:28  Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
   Luke|22:29  And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed
 unto me;
   Luke|22:30  That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit
 on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
   Luke|22:31  And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired
 [to have] you, that he may sift [you] as wheat:
   Luke|22:32  But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when
 thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
   Luke|22:33  And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both
 into prison, and to death.
   Luke|22:34  And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this
 day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

   Luke|22:35  And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and
 scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
   Luke|22:36  Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let
 him take [it], and likewise [his] scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him
 sell his garment, and buy one.
   Luke|22:37  For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be
 accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the
 things concerning me have an end.
   Luke|22:38  And they said, Lord, behold, here [are] two swords. And he
 said unto them, It is enough.
   Luke|22:39  And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of
 Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
   Luke|22:40  And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye
 enter not into temptation.
   Luke|22:41  And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and
 kneeled down, and prayed,
   Luke|22:42  Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me:
 nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
   Luke|22:43  And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
 strengthening him.
   Luke|22:44  And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat

 was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
   Luke|22:45  And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his
 disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
   Luke|22:46  And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye
 enter into temptation.
   Luke|22:47  And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was
 called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus
 to kiss him.
   Luke|22:48  But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man
 with a kiss?
   Luke|22:49  When they which were about him saw what would follow, they
 said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
   Luke|22:50  And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut
 off his right ear.
   Luke|22:51  And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he
 touched his ear, and healed him.
   Luke|22:52  Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the
 temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against
 a thief, with swords and staves?
   Luke|22:53  When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth
 no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

   Luke|22:54  Then took they him, and led [him], and brought him into the
 high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
   Luke|22:55  And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall,
 and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
   Luke|22:56  But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and
 earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
   Luke|22:57  And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
   Luke|22:58  And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art
 also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
   Luke|22:59  And about the space of one hour after another confidently
 affirmed, saying, Of a truth this [fellow] also was with him: for he is a
 Galilaean.
   Luke|22:60  And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And
 immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
   Luke|22:61  And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter
 remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock
 crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
   Luke|22:62  And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
   Luke|22:63  And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote [him].
   Luke|22:64  And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the
 face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?

   Luke|22:65  And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
   Luke|22:66  And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the
 chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their
 council, saying,
   Luke|22:67  Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I
 tell you, ye will not believe:
   Luke|22:68  And if I also ask [you], ye will not answer me, nor let [me]
 go.
   Luke|22:69  Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the
 power of God.
   Luke|22:70  Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said
 unto them, Ye say that I am.
   Luke|22:71  And they said, What need we any further witness? for we
 ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
   Luke|23:1  And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto
 Pilate.
   Luke|23:2  And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this [fellow]
 perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying
 that he himself is Christ a King.
   Luke|23:3  And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews?
 And he answered him and said, Thou sayest [it].

   Luke|23:4  Then said Pilate to the chief priests and [to] the people, I
 find no fault in this man.
   Luke|23:5  And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the
 people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this
 place.
   Luke|23:6  When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a
 Galilaean.
   Luke|23:7  And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's
 jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at
 that time.
   Luke|23:8  And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was
 desirous to see him of a long [season], because he had heard many things of
 him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
   Luke|23:9  Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him
 nothing.
   Luke|23:10  And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently
 accused him.
   Luke|23:11  And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked
 [him], and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
   Luke|23:12  And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together:
 for before they were at enmity between themselves.

   Luke|23:13  And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and
 the rulers and the people,
   Luke|23:14  Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that
 perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined [him] before you,
 have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse
 him:
   Luke|23:15  No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing
 worthy of death is done unto him.
   Luke|23:16  I will therefore chastise him, and release [him].
   Luke|23:17  (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the
 feast.)
   Luke|23:18  And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this [man],
 and release unto us Barabbas:
   Luke|23:19  (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder,
 was cast into prison.)
   Luke|23:20  Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to
 them.
   Luke|23:21  But they cried, saying, Crucify [him], crucify him.
   Luke|23:22  And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he
 done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him,
 and let [him] go.

   Luke|23:23  And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he
 might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests
 prevailed.
   Luke|23:24  And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
   Luke|23:25  And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder
 was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to
 their will.
   Luke|23:26  And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
 Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that
 he might bear [it] after Jesus.
   Luke|23:27  And there followed him a great company of people, and of
 women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
   Luke|23:28  But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem,
 weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
   Luke|23:29  For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall
 say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps
 which never gave suck.
   Luke|23:30  Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us;
 and to the hills, Cover us.
   Luke|23:31  For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be
 done in the dry?

   Luke|23:32  And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to
 be put to death.
   Luke|23:33  And when they were come to the place, which is called
 Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right
 hand, and the other on the left.
   Luke|23:34  Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what
 they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
   Luke|23:35  And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them
 derided [him], saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be
 Christ, the chosen of God.
   Luke|23:36  And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering
 him vinegar,
   Luke|23:37  And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
   Luke|23:38  And a superscription also was written over him in letters of
 Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
   Luke|23:39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,
 saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
   Luke|23:40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou
 fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
   Luke|23:41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our
 deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

   Luke|23:42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest
 into thy kingdom.
   Luke|23:43  And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt
 thou be with me in paradise.
   Luke|23:44  And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness
 over all the earth until the ninth hour.
   Luke|23:45  And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent
 in the midst.
   Luke|23:46  And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father,
 into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the
 ghost.
   Luke|23:47  Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God,
 saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
   Luke|23:48  And all the people that came together to that sight,
 beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
   Luke|23:49  And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him
 from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
   Luke|23:50  And, behold, [there was] a man named Joseph, a counsellor;
 [and he was] a good man, and a just:
   Luke|23:51  (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;)
 [he was] of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the

 kingdom of God.
   Luke|23:52  This [man] went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
   Luke|23:53  And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in
 a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
   Luke|23:54  And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
   Luke|23:55  And the women also, which came with him from Galilee,
 followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
   Luke|23:56  And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and
 rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
   Luke|24:1  Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the
 morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had
 prepared, and certain [others] with them.
   Luke|24:2  And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
   Luke|24:3  And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
   Luke|24:4  And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
 behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
   Luke|24:5  And as they were afraid, and bowed down [their] faces to the
 earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
   Luke|24:6  He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you
 when he was yet in Galilee,
   Luke|24:7  Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of

 sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
   Luke|24:8  And they remembered his words,
   Luke|24:9  And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things
 unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
   Luke|24:10  It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary [the mother] of
 James, and other [women that were] with them, which told these things unto
 the apostles.
   Luke|24:11  And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
 believed them not.
   Luke|24:12  Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping
 down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed,
 wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
   Luke|24:13  And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village
 called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem [about] threescore furlongs.
   Luke|24:14  And they talked together of all these things which had
 happened.
   Luke|24:15  And it came to pass, that, while they communed [together] and
 reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
   Luke|24:16  But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
   Luke|24:17  And he said unto them, What manner of communications [are]
 these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

   Luke|24:18  And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said
 unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the
 things which are come to pass there in these days?
   Luke|24:19  And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,
 Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word
 before God and all the people:
   Luke|24:20  And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
 condemned to death, and have crucified him.
   Luke|24:21  But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
 Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things
 were done.
   Luke|24:22  Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
 astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
   Luke|24:23  And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that
 they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
   Luke|24:24  And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre,
 and found [it] even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
   Luke|24:25  Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe
 all that the prophets have spoken:
   Luke|24:26  Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter
 into his glory?

   Luke|24:27  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded
 unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
   Luke|24:28  And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and
 he made as though he would have gone further.
   Luke|24:29  But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is
 toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with
 them.
   Luke|24:30  And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
 bread, and blessed [it], and brake, and gave to them.
   Luke|24:31  And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he
 vanished out of their sight.
   Luke|24:32  And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within
 us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the
 scriptures?
   Luke|24:33  And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem,
 and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
   Luke|24:34  Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
   Luke|24:35  And they told what things [were done] in the way, and how he
 was known of them in breaking of bread.
   Luke|24:36  And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of
 them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

   Luke|24:37  But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that
 they had seen a spirit.
   Luke|24:38  And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
 thoughts arise in your hearts?
   Luke|24:39  Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me,
 and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
   Luke|24:40  And when he had thus spoken, he showed them [his] hands and
 [his] feet.
   Luke|24:41  And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he
 said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
   Luke|24:42  And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
 honeycomb.
   Luke|24:43  And he took [it], and did eat before them.
   Luke|24:44  And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake
 unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled,
 which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the
 psalms, concerning me.
   Luke|24:45  Then opened he their understanding, that they might
 understand the scriptures,
   Luke|24:46  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
 Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

   Luke|24:47  And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
 in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
   Luke|24:48  And ye are witnesses of these things.
   Luke|24:49  And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but
 tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on
 high.
   Luke|24:50  And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up
 his hands, and blessed them.
   Luke|24:51  And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted
 from them, and carried up into heaven.
   Luke|24:52  And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great
 joy:
   Luke|24:53  And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing
 God. Amen.
   John|1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
 the Word was God.
   John|1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.
   John|1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
 made that was made.
   John|1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
   John|1:5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness

 comprehended it not.
   John|1:6  There was a man sent from God, whose name [was] John.
   John|1:7  The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that
 all [men] through him might believe.
   John|1:8  He was not that Light, but [was sent] to bear witness of that
 Light.
   John|1:9  [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh
 into the world.
   John|1:10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
 world knew him not.
   John|1:11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
   John|1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become
 the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
   John|1:13  Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
 nor of the will of man, but of God.
   John|1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
 beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
 grace and truth.
   John|1:15  John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of
 whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was
 before me.

   John|1:16  And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
   John|1:17  For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by
 Jesus Christ.
   John|1:18  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which
 is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
   John|1:19  And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and
 Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
   John|1:20  And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the
 Christ.
   John|1:21  And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I
 am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
   John|1:22  Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an
 answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
   John|1:23  He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness,
 Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
   John|1:24  And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
   John|1:25  And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou
 then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
   John|1:26  John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there
 standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
   John|1:27  He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose

 shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
   John|1:28  These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John
 was baptizing.
   John|1:29  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
 Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
   John|1:30  This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is
 preferred before me: for he was before me.
   John|1:31  And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to
 Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
   John|1:32  And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from
 heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
   John|1:33  And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water,
 the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and
 remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
   John|1:34  And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
   John|1:35  Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
   John|1:36  And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb
 of God!
   John|1:37  And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed
 Jesus.
   John|1:38  Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto

 them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being
 interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
   John|1:39  He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he
 dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
   John|1:40  One of the two which heard John [speak], and followed him, was
 Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
   John|1:41  He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We
 have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
   John|1:42  And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he
 said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is
 by interpretation, A stone.
   John|1:43  The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and
 findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
   John|1:44  Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
   John|1:45  Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found
 him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of
 Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
   John|1:46  And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out
 of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
   John|1:47  Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an
 Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

   John|1:48  Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus
 answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast
 under the fig tree, I saw thee.
   John|1:49  Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son
 of God; thou art the King of Israel.
   John|1:50  Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I
 saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things
 than these.
   John|1:51  And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
 Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and
 descending upon the Son of man.
   John|2:1  And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and
 the mother of Jesus was there:
   John|2:2  And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
   John|2:3  And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him,
 They have no wine.
   John|2:4  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
 hour is not yet come.
   John|2:5  His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto
 you, do [it].
   John|2:6  And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the

 manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins
 apiece.
   John|2:7  Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
 filled them up to the brim.
   John|2:8  And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the
 governor of the feast. And they bare [it].
   John|2:9  When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made
 wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water
 knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
   John|2:10  And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth
 good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: [but]
 thou hast kept the good wine until now.
   John|2:11  This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and
 manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
   John|2:12  After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and
 his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
   John|2:13  And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to
 Jerusalem,
   John|2:14  And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and
 doves, and the changers of money sitting:
   John|2:15  And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them

 all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the
 changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
   John|2:16  And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence;
 make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
   John|2:17  And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of
 thine house hath eaten me up.
   John|2:18  Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign showest
 thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
   John|2:19  Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in
 three days I will raise it up.
   John|2:20  Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in
 building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
   John|2:21  But he spake of the temple of his body.
   John|2:22  When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples
 remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the
 scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
   John|2:23  Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
 [day], many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
   John|2:24  But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew
 all [men],
   John|2:25  And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew

 what was in man.
   John|3:1  There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of
 the Jews:
   John|3:2  The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we
 know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these
 miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
   John|3:3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto
 thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
   John|3:4  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old?
 can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
   John|3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man
 be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
 God.
   John|3:6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is
 born of the Spirit is spirit.
   John|3:7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
   John|3:8  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound
 thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is
 every one that is born of the Spirit.
   John|3:9  Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
   John|3:10  Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel,

 and knowest not these things?
   John|3:11  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and
 testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
   John|3:12  If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how
 shall ye believe, if I tell you [of] heavenly things?
   John|3:13  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down
 from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.
   John|3:14  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
 must the Son of man be lifted up:
   John|3:15  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
 eternal life.
   John|3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
 Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
 everlasting life.
   John|3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
 but that the world through him might be saved.
   John|3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that
 believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the
 name of the only begotten Son of God.
   John|3:19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the
 world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were

 evil.
   John|3:20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh
 to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
   John|3:21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds
 may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
   John|3:22  After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land
 of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
   John|3:23  And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because
 there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
   John|3:24  For John was not yet cast into prison.
   John|3:25  Then there arose a question between [some] of John's disciples
 and the Jews about purifying.
   John|3:26  And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was
 with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same
 baptizeth, and all [men] come to him.
   John|3:27  John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it
 be given him from heaven.
   John|3:28  Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the
 Christ, but that I am sent before him.
   John|3:29  He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of
 the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because

 of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
   John|3:30  He must increase, but I [must] decrease.
   John|3:31  He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the
 earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is
 above all.
   John|3:32  And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no
 man receiveth his testimony.
   John|3:33  He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that
 God is true.
   John|3:34  For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God
 giveth not the Spirit by measure [unto him].
   John|3:35  The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his
 hand.
   John|3:36  He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he
 that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth
 on him.
   John|4:1  When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that
 Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
   John|4:2  (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
   John|4:3  He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
   John|4:4  And he must needs go through Samaria.

   John|4:5  Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar,
 near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
   John|4:6  Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with
 [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the sixth hour.
   John|4:7  There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto
 her, Give me to drink.
   John|4:8  (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
   John|4:9  Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou,
 being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews
 have no dealings with the Samaritans.
   John|4:10  Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of
 God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have
 asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
   John|4:11  The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with,
 and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
   John|4:12  Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the
 well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
   John|4:13  Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this
 water shall thirst again:
   John|4:14  But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him
 shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a

 well of water springing up into everlasting life.
   John|4:15  The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I
 thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
   John|4:16  Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
   John|4:17  The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said
 unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
   John|4:18  For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is
 not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
   John|4:19  The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a
 prophet.
   John|4:20  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in
 Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
   John|4:21  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when
 ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the
 Father.
   John|4:22  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for
 salvation is of the Jews.
   John|4:23  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers
 shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh
 such to worship him.
   John|4:24  God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship

 [him] in spirit and in truth.
   John|4:25  The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is
 called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
   John|4:26  Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
   John|4:27  And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked
 with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou
 with her?
   John|4:28  The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the
 city, and saith to the men,
   John|4:29  Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is
 not this the Christ?
   John|4:30  Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
   John|4:31  In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master,
 eat.
   John|4:32  But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
   John|4:33  Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man
 brought him [ought] to eat?
   John|4:34  Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that
 sent me, and to finish his work.
   John|4:35  Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh
 harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields;

 for they are white already to harvest.
   John|4:36  And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto
 life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice
 together.
   John|4:37  And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another
 reapeth.
   John|4:38  I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other
 men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
   John|4:39  And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for
 the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
   John|4:40  So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him
 that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
   John|4:41  And many more believed because of his own word;
   John|4:42  And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy
 saying: for we have heard [him] ourselves, and know that this is indeed the
 Christ, the Saviour of the world.
   John|4:43  Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
   John|4:44  For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in
 his own country.
   John|4:45  Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received
 him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for

 they also went unto the feast.
   John|4:46  So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the
 water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at
 Capernaum.
   John|4:47  When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee,
 he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his
 son: for he was at the point of death.
   John|4:48  Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye
 will not believe.
   John|4:49  The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
   John|4:50  Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man
 believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
   John|4:51  And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told
 [him], saying, Thy son liveth.
   John|4:52  Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And
 they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
   John|4:53  So the father knew that [it was] at the same hour, in the
 which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his
 whole house.
   John|4:54  This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus did, when he
 was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

   John|5:1  After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
 Jerusalem.
   John|5:2  Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which
 is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
   John|5:3  In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind,
 halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
   John|5:4  For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and
 troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water
 stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
   John|5:5  And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and
 eight years.
   John|5:6  When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long
 time [in that case], he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
   John|5:7  The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the
 water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another
 steppeth down before me.
   John|5:8  Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
   John|5:9  And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed,
 and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
   John|5:10  The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the
 sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed.

   John|5:11  He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto
 me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
   John|5:12  Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee,
 Take up thy bed, and walk?
   John|5:13  And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had
 conveyed himself away, a multitude being in [that] place.
   John|5:14  Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him,
 Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto
 thee.
   John|5:15  The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which
 had made him whole.
   John|5:16  And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay
 him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
   John|5:17  But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I
 work.
   John|5:18  Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not
 only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making
 himself equal with God.
   John|5:19  Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say
 unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father
 do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

   John|5:20  For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that
 himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may
 marvel.
   John|5:21  For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them];
 even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
   John|5:22  For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment
 unto the Son:
   John|5:23  That all [men] should honour the Son, even as they honour the
 Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath
 sent him.
   John|5:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
 believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come
 into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
   John|5:25  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now
 is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that
 hear shall live.
   John|5:26  For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to
 the Son to have life in himself;
   John|5:27  And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because
 he is the Son of man.
   John|5:28  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all

 that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
   John|5:29  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the
 resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection
 of damnation.
   John|5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
 judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the
 Father which hath sent me.
   John|5:31  If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
   John|5:32  There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that
 the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
   John|5:33  Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
   John|5:34  But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say,
 that ye might be saved.
   John|5:35  He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for
 a season to rejoice in his light.
   John|5:36  But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the works
 which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear
 witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
   John|5:37  And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness
 of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
   John|5:38  And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath

 sent, him ye believe not.
   John|5:39  Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal
 life: and they are they which testify of me.
   John|5:40  And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
   John|5:41  I receive not honour from men.
   John|5:42  But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
   John|5:43  I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
 another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
   John|5:44  How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and
 seek not the honour that [cometh] from God only?
   John|5:45  Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is
 [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust.
   John|5:46  For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he
 wrote of me.
   John|5:47  But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my
 words?
   John|6:1  After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is
 [the sea] of Tiberias.
   John|6:2  And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his
 miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
   John|6:3  And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his

 disciples.
   John|6:4  And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
   John|6:5  When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a great company
 come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these
 may eat?
   John|6:6  And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he
 would do.
   John|6:7  Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not
 sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
   John|6:8  One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto
 him,
   John|6:9  There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two
 small fishes: but what are they among so many?
   John|6:10  And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much
 grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
   John|6:11  And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he
 distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down;
 and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
   John|6:12  When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up
 the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
   John|6:13  Therefore they gathered [them] together, and filled twelve

 baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over
 and above unto them that had eaten.
   John|6:14  Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did,
 said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
   John|6:15  When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take
 him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself
 alone.
   John|6:16  And when even was [now] come, his disciples went down unto the
 sea,
   John|6:17  And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward
 Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
   John|6:18  And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
   John|6:19  So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty
 furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the
 ship: and they were afraid.
   John|6:20  But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
   John|6:21  Then they willingly received him into the ship: and
 immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
   John|6:22  The day following, when the people which stood on the other
 side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one
 whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his

 disciples into the boat, but [that] his disciples were gone away alone;
   John|6:23  (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the
 place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
   John|6:24  When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there,
 neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum,
 seeking for Jesus.
   John|6:25  And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they
 said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
   John|6:26  Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
 Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the
 loaves, and were filled.
   John|6:27  Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat
 which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto
 you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
   John|6:28  Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work
 the works of God?
   John|6:29  Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God,
 that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
   John|6:30  They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then,
 that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
   John|6:31  Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He

 gave them bread from heaven to eat.
   John|6:32  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
 Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the
 true bread from heaven.
   John|6:33  For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and
 giveth life unto the world.
   John|6:34  Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
   John|6:35  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that
 cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never
 thirst.
   John|6:36  But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe
 not.
   John|6:37  All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
 cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
   John|6:38  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
 will of him that sent me.
   John|6:39  And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all
 which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again
 at the last day.
   John|6:40  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which
 seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will

 raise him up at the last day.
   John|6:41  The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread
 which came down from heaven.
   John|6:42  And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose
 father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from
 heaven?
   John|6:43  Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among
 yourselves.
   John|6:44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me
 draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
   John|6:45  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of
 God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father,
 cometh unto me.
   John|6:46  Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of
 God, he hath seen the Father.
   John|6:47  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath
 everlasting life.
   John|6:48  I am that bread of life.
   John|6:49  Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
   John|6:50  This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man
 may eat thereof, and not die.

   John|6:51  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man
 eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give
 is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
   John|6:52  The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can
 this man give us [his] flesh to eat?
   John|6:53  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
 Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no
 life in you.
   John|6:54  Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal
 life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
   John|6:55  For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
   John|6:56  He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in
 me, and I in him.
   John|6:57  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father:
 so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
   John|6:58  This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your
 fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall
 live for ever.
   John|6:59  These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in
 Capernaum.
   John|6:60  Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard [this],

 said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
   John|6:61  When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it,
 he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
   John|6:62  [What] and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he
 was before?
   John|6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
 the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.
   John|6:64  But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew
 from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray
 him.
   John|6:65  And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
 unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
   John|6:66  From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked
 no more with him.
   John|6:67  Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
   John|6:68  Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou
 hast the words of eternal life.
   John|6:69  And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son
 of the living God.
   John|6:70  Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of
 you is a devil?

   John|6:71  He spake of Judas Iscariot [the son] of Simon: for he it was
 that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
   John|7:1  After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not
 walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
   John|7:2  Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
   John|7:3  His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into
 Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
   John|7:4  For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret, and he
 himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, show thyself
 to the world.
   John|7:5  For neither did his brethren believe in him.
   John|7:6  Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your
 time is alway ready.
   John|7:7  The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify
 of it, that the works thereof are evil.
   John|7:8  Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for
 my time is not yet full come.
   John|7:9  When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in
 Galilee.
   John|7:10  But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto
 the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

   John|7:11  Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
   John|7:12  And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him:
 for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the
 people.
   John|7:13  Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
   John|7:14  Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the
 temple, and taught.
   John|7:15  And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters,
 having never learned?
   John|7:16  Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but
 his that sent me.
   John|7:17  If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
 whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
   John|7:18  He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that
 seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness
 is in him.
   John|7:19  Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth
 the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
   John|7:20  The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth
 about to kill thee?
   John|7:21  Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and

 ye all marvel.
   John|7:22  Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is
 of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
   John|7:23  If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law
 of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a
 man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
   John|7:24  Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous
 judgment.
   John|7:25  Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they
 seek to kill?
   John|7:26  But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do
 the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
   John|7:27  Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh,
 no man knoweth whence he is.
   John|7:28  Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both
 know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that
 sent me is true, whom ye know not.
   John|7:29  But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
   John|7:30  Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him,
 because his hour was not yet come.
   John|7:31  And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ

 cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this [man] hath done?
   John|7:32  The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things
 concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to
 take him.
   John|7:33  Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you,
 and [then] I go unto him that sent me.
   John|7:34  Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am,
 [thither] ye cannot come.
   John|7:35  Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that
 we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles,
 and teach the Gentiles?
   John|7:36  What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek
 me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come?
   John|7:37  In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood
 and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
   John|7:38  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of
 his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
   John|7:39  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on
 him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that
 Jesus was not yet glorified.)
   John|7:40  Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying,

 said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
   John|7:41  Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ
 come out of Galilee?
   John|7:42  Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of
 David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
   John|7:43  So there was a division among the people because of him.
   John|7:44  And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands
 on him.
   John|7:45  Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and
 they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
   John|7:46  The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
   John|7:47  Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
   John|7:48  Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
   John|7:49  But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
   John|7:50  Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night,
 being one of them,)
   John|7:51  Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know
 what he doeth?
   John|7:52  They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee?
 Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
   John|7:53  And every man went unto his own house.

   John|8:1  Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
   John|8:2  And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all
 the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
   John|8:3  And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in
 adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
   John|8:4  They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in
 the very act.
   John|8:5  Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:
 but what sayest thou?
   John|8:6  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse
 him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as
 though he heard them not].
   John|8:7  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and
 said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a
 stone at her.
   John|8:8  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
   John|8:9  And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own]
 conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the
 last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
   John|8:10  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman,
 he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man

 condemned thee?
   John|8:11  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
 condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
   John|8:12  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of
 the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have
 the light of life.
   John|8:13  The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of
 thyself; thy record is not true.
   John|8:14  Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of
 myself, [yet] my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I
 go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
   John|8:15  Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
   John|8:16  And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone,
 but I and the Father that sent me.
   John|8:17  It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men
 is true.
   John|8:18  I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent
 me beareth witness of me.
   John|8:19  Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered,
 Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known
 my Father also.

   John|8:20  These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the
 temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
   John|8:21  Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall
 seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
   John|8:22  Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,
 Whither I go, ye cannot come.
   John|8:23  And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above:
 ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
   John|8:24  I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for
 if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
   John|8:25  Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto
 them, Even [the same] that I said unto you from the beginning.
   John|8:26  I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that
 sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard
 of him.
   John|8:27  They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
   John|8:28  Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of
 man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself;
 but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
   John|8:29  And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me
 alone; for I do always those things that please him.

   John|8:30  As he spake these words, many believed on him.
   John|8:31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
 continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;
   John|8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
 free.
   John|8:33  They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in
 bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
   John|8:34  Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
 committeth sin is the servant of sin.
   John|8:35  And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: [but] the
 Son abideth ever.
   John|8:36  If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free
 indeed.
   John|8:37  I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,
 because my word hath no place in you.
   John|8:38  I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
 which ye have seen with your father.
   John|8:39  They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
 saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of
 Abraham.
   John|8:40  But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the

 truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
   John|8:41  Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be
 not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
   John|8:42  Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love
 me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but
 he sent me.
   John|8:43  Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot
 hear my word.
   John|8:44  Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your
 father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in
 the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
 speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
   John|8:45  And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
   John|8:46  Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why
 do ye not believe me?
   John|8:47  He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear
 [them] not, because ye are not of God.
   John|8:48  Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well
 that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
   John|8:49  Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father,
 and ye do dishonour me.

   John|8:50  And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
 judgeth.
   John|8:51  Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he
 shall never see death.
   John|8:52  Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a
 devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my
 saying, he shall never taste of death.
   John|8:53  Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and
 the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
   John|8:54  Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it
 is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
   John|8:55  Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should
 say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and
 keep his saying.
   John|8:56  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it],
 and was glad.
   John|8:57  Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old,
 and hast thou seen Abraham?
   John|8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
 Abraham was, I am.
   John|8:59  Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid

 himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and
 so passed by.
   John|9:1  And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from
 [his] birth.
   John|9:2  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this
 man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
   John|9:3  Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:
 but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
   John|9:4  I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the
 night cometh, when no man can work.
   John|9:5  As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
   John|9:6  When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay
 of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
   John|9:7  And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by
 interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came
 seeing.
   John|9:8  The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him
 that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
   John|9:9  Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but] he
 said, I am [he].
   John|9:10  Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

   John|9:11  He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay,
 and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and
 wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
   John|9:12  Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
   John|9:13  They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
   John|9:14  And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and
 opened his eyes.
   John|9:15  Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received
 his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and
 do see.
   John|9:16  Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God,
 because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is
 a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
   John|9:17  They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,
 that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
   John|9:18  But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been
 blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that
 had received his sight.
   John|9:19  And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was
 born blind? how then doth he now see?
   John|9:20  His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our

 son, and that he was born blind:
   John|9:21  But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath
 opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for
 himself.
   John|9:22  These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews:
 for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was
 Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
   John|9:23  Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
   John|9:24  Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto
 him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
   John|9:25  He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner [or no], I know
 not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
   John|9:26  Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened
 he thine eyes?
   John|9:27  He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not
 hear: wherefore would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be his disciples?
   John|9:28  Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we
 are Moses' disciples.
   John|9:29  We know that God spake unto Moses: [as for] this [fellow], we
 know not from whence he is.
   John|9:30  The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a

 marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath
 opened mine eyes.
   John|9:31  Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a
 worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
   John|9:32  Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the
 eyes of one that was born blind.
   John|9:33  If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
   John|9:34  They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in
 sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
   John|9:35  Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found
 him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
   John|9:36  He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on
 him?
   John|9:37  And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he
 that talketh with thee.
   John|9:38  And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
   John|9:39  And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that
 they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
   John|9:40  And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these
 words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
   John|9:41  Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:

 but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
   John|10:1  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
 door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a
 thief and a robber.
   John|10:2  But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the
 sheep.
   John|10:3  To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and
 he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
   John|10:4  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them,
 and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
   John|10:5  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him:
 for they know not the voice of strangers.
   John|10:6  This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not
 what things they were which he spake unto them.
   John|10:7  Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto
 you, I am the door of the sheep.
   John|10:8  All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the
 sheep did not hear them.
   John|10:9  I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved,
 and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
   John|10:10  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to

 destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it]
 more abundantly.
   John|10:11  I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for
 the sheep.
   John|10:12  But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own
 the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and
 fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
   John|10:13  The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth
 not for the sheep.
   John|10:14  I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep], and am known of
 mine.
   John|10:15  As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I
 lay down my life for the sheep.
   John|10:16  And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also
 I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
 [and] one shepherd.
   John|10:17  Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life,
 that I might take it again.
   John|10:18  No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have
 power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment
 have I received of my Father.

   John|10:19  There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these
 sayings.
   John|10:20  And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear
 ye him?
   John|10:21  Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a
 devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
   John|10:22  And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it
 was winter.
   John|10:23  And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
   John|10:24  Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How
 long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
   John|10:25  Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the
 works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
   John|10:26  But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said
 unto you.
   John|10:27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
   John|10:28  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
 perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.
   John|10:29  My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no
 [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.
   John|10:30  I and [my] Father are one.

   John|10:31  Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
   John|10:32  Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from
 my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
   John|10:33  The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee
 not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself
 God.
   John|10:34  Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said,
 Ye are gods?
   John|10:35  If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and
 the scripture cannot be broken;
   John|10:36  Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into
 the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
   John|10:37  If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
   John|10:38  But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works:
 that ye may know, and believe, that the Father [is] in me, and I in him.
   John|10:39  Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out
 of their hand,
   John|10:40  And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John
 at first baptized; and there he abode.
   John|10:41  And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle:
 but all things that John spake of this man were true.

   John|10:42  And many believed on him there.
   John|11:1  Now a certain [man] was sick, [named] Lazarus, of Bethany, the
 town of Mary and her sister Martha.
   John|11:2  (It was [that] Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and
 wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
   John|11:3  Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he
 whom thou lovest is sick.
   John|11:4  When Jesus heard [that], he said, This sickness is not unto
 death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified
 thereby.
   John|11:5  Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
   John|11:6  When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two
 days still in the same place where he was.
   John|11:7  Then after that saith he to [his] disciples, Let us go into
 Judaea again.
   John|11:8  [His] disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought
 to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
   John|11:9  Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any
 man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this
 world.
   John|11:10  But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there

 is no light in him.
   John|11:11  These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our
 friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
   John|11:12  Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
   John|11:13  Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he
 had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
   John|11:14  Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
   John|11:15  And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the
 intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
   John|11:16  Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his
 fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
   John|11:17  Then when Jesus came, he found that he had [lain] in the
 grave four days already.
   John|11:18  Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs
 off:
   John|11:19  And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them
 concerning their brother.
   John|11:20  Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went
 and met him: but Mary sat [still] in the house.
   John|11:21  Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here,
 my brother had not died.

   John|11:22  But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God,
 God will give [it] thee.
   John|11:23  Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
   John|11:24  Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the
 resurrection at the last day.
   John|11:25  Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he
 that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
   John|11:26  And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
 Believest thou this?
   John|11:27  She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the
 Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
   John|11:28  And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary
 her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
   John|11:29  As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came unto
 him.
   John|11:30  Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that
 place where Martha met him.
   John|11:31  The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted
 her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed
 her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
   John|11:32  Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she

 fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my
 brother had not died.
   John|11:33  When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also
 weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
   John|11:34  And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord,
 come and see.
   John|11:35  Jesus wept.
   John|11:36  Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
   John|11:37  And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the
 eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
   John|11:38  Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the
 grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
   John|11:39  Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him
 that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath
 been [dead] four days.
   John|11:40  Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou
 wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
   John|11:41  Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead
 was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee
 that thou hast heard me.
   John|11:42  And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the

 people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast
 sent me.
   John|11:43  And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
 Lazarus, come forth.
   John|11:44  And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with
 graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto
 them, Loose him, and let him go.
   John|11:45  Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the
 things which Jesus did, believed on him.
   John|11:46  But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told
 them what things Jesus had done.
   John|11:47  Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council,
 and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
   John|11:48  If we let him thus alone, all [men] will believe on him: and
 the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
   John|11:49  And one of them, [named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that
 same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
   John|11:50  Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should
 die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
   John|11:51  And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that
 year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;

   John|11:52  And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather
 together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
   John|11:53  Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to
 put him to death.
   John|11:54  Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but
 went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called
 Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
   John|11:55  And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of
 the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
   John|11:56  Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as
 they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the
 feast?
   John|11:57  Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a
 commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should show [it], that
 they might take him.
   John|12:1  Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where
 Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
   John|12:2  There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus
 was one of them that sat at the table with him.
   John|12:3  Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly,
 and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the

 house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
   John|12:4  Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's
 [son], which should betray him,
   John|12:5  Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and
 given to the poor?
   John|12:6  This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he
 was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
   John|12:7  Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying
 hath she kept this.
   John|12:8  For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not
 always.
   John|12:9  Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and
 they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also,
 whom he had raised from the dead.
   John|12:10  But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus
 also to death;
   John|12:11  Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and
 believed on Jesus.
   John|12:12  On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when
 they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
   John|12:13  Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and

 cried, Hosanna: Blessed [is] the King of Israel that cometh in the name of
 the Lord.
   John|12:14  And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it
 is written,
   John|12:15  Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting
 on an ass's colt.
   John|12:16  These things understood not his disciples at the first: but
 when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were
 written of him, and [that] they had done these things unto him.
   John|12:17  The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus
 out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
   John|12:18  For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard
 that he had done this miracle.
   John|12:19  The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye
 how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
   John|12:20  And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to
 worship at the feast:
   John|12:21  The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of
 Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
   John|12:22  Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip
 tell Jesus.

   John|12:23  And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the
 Son of man should be glorified.
   John|12:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall
 into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth
 much fruit.
   John|12:25  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his
 life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
   John|12:26  If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there
 shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will [my] Father honour.
   John|12:27  Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save
 me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
   John|12:28  Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from
 heaven, [saying], I have both glorified [it], and will glorify [it] again.
   John|12:29  The people therefore, that stood by, and heard [it], said
 that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
   John|12:30  Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me,
 but for your sakes.
   John|12:31  Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of
 this world be cast out.
   John|12:32  And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men]
 unto me.

   John|12:33  This he said, signifying what death he should die.
   John|12:34  The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that
 Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted
 up? who is this Son of man?
   John|12:35  Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light
 with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he
 that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
   John|12:36  While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the
 children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide
 himself from them.
   John|12:37  But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they
 believed not on him:
   John|12:38  That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled,
 which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the
 arm of the Lord been revealed?
   John|12:39  Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said
 again,
   John|12:40  He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that
 they should not see with [their] eyes, nor understand with [their] heart,
 and be converted, and I should heal them.
   John|12:41  These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of

 him.
   John|12:42  Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on
 him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they
 should be put out of the synagogue:
   John|12:43  For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
   John|12:44  Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not
 on me, but on him that sent me.
   John|12:45  And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
   John|12:46  I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
 me should not abide in darkness.
   John|12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him
 not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
   John|12:48  He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one
 that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in
 the last day.
   John|12:49  For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent
 me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
   John|12:50  And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
 whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
   John|13:1  Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his
 hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father,

 having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
   John|13:2  And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the
 heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray him;
   John|13:3  Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his
 hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
   John|13:4  He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a
 towel, and girded himself.
   John|13:5  After that he poureth water into a basin, and began to wash
 the disciples' feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel wherewith he was
 girded.
   John|13:6  Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord,
 dost thou wash my feet?
   John|13:7  Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not
 now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
   John|13:8  Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus
 answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
   John|13:9  Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also
 [my] hands and [my] head.
   John|13:10  Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to
 wash [his] feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
   John|13:11  For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are

 not all clean.
   John|13:12  So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his
 garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have
 done to you?
   John|13:13  Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I am.
   John|13:14  If I then, [your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye
 also ought to wash one another's feet.
   John|13:15  For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have
 done to you.
   John|13:16  Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater
 than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
   John|13:17  If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
   John|13:18  I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that
 the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up
 his heel against me.
   John|13:19  Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass,
 ye may believe that I am [he].
   John|13:20  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever
 I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
   John|13:21  When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and
 testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall

 betray me.
   John|13:22  Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he
 spake.
   John|13:23  Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
 whom Jesus loved.
   John|13:24  Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who
 it should be of whom he spake.
   John|13:25  He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is
 it?
   John|13:26  Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I
 have dipped [it]. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave [it] to Judas
 Iscariot, [the son] of Simon.
   John|13:27  And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus
 unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
   John|13:28  Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this
 unto him.
   John|13:29  For some [of them] thought, because Judas had the bag, that
 Jesus had said unto him, Buy [those things] that we have need of against
 the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
   John|13:30  He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it
 was night.

   John|13:31  Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son
 of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
   John|13:32  If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in
 himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
   John|13:33  Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall
 seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now
 I say to you.
   John|13:34  A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another;
 as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
   John|13:35  By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye
 have love one to another.
   John|13:36  Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus
 answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt
 follow me afterwards.
   John|13:37  Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I
 will lay down my life for thy sake.
   John|13:38  Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?
 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast
 denied me thrice.
   John|14:1  Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
 also in me.

   John|14:2  In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so],
 I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
   John|14:3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,
 and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
   John|14:4  And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
   John|14:5  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
 and how can we know the way?
   John|14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
 no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
   John|14:7  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and
 from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
   John|14:8  Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it
 sufficeth us.
   John|14:9  Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and
 yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the
 Father; and how sayest thou [then], Show us the Father?
   John|14:10  Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in
 me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father
 that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
   John|14:11  Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me:
 or else believe me for the very works' sake.

   John|14:12  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the
 works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he
 do; because I go unto my Father.
   John|14:13  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
 the Father may be glorified in the Son.
   John|14:14  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].
   John|14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.
   John|14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
 Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
   John|14:17  [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive,
 because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
 dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
   John|14:18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
   John|14:19  Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye
 see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
   John|14:20  At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in
 me, and I in you.
   John|14:21  He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
 loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will
 love him, and will manifest myself to him.
   John|14:22  Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou

 wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
   John|14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will
 keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and
 make our abode with him.
   John|14:24  He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word
 which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
   John|14:25  These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with
 you.
   John|14:26  But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father
 will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things
 to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
   John|14:27  Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the
 world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let
 it be afraid.
   John|14:28  Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come
 [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go
 unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
   John|14:29  And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it
 is come to pass, ye might believe.
   John|14:30  Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of
 this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

   John|14:31  But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as
 the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
   John|15:1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
   John|15:2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and
 every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth
 more fruit.
   John|15:3  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto
 you.
   John|15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
 itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
   John|15:5  I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me,
 and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
 nothing.
   John|15:6  If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
 withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are
 burned.
   John|15:7  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
 what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
   John|15:8  Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so
 shall ye be my disciples.
   John|15:9  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye

 in my love.
   John|15:10  If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even
 as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
   John|15:11  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain
 in you, and [that] your joy might be full.
   John|15:12  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have
 loved you.
   John|15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his
 life for his friends.
   John|15:14  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
   John|15:15  Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth
 not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that
 I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
   John|15:16  Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained
 you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should
 remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give
 it you.
   John|15:17  These things I command you, that ye love one another.
   John|15:18  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it
 hated] you.
   John|15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but

 because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world,
 therefore the world hateth you.
   John|15:20  Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not
 greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute
 you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
   John|15:21  But all these things will they do unto you for my name's
 sake, because they know not him that sent me.
   John|15:22  If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin:
 but now they have no cloak for their sin.
   John|15:23  He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
   John|15:24  If I had not done among them the works which none other man
 did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me
 and my Father.
   John|15:25  But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled
 that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
   John|15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you
 from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the
 Father, he shall testify of me:
   John|15:27  And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me
 from the beginning.
   John|16:1  These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be

 offended.
   John|16:2  They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time
 cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
   John|16:3  And these things will they do unto you, because they have not
 known the Father, nor me.
   John|16:4  But these things have I told you, that when the time shall
 come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not
 unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
   John|16:5  But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you
 asketh me, Whither goest thou?
   John|16:6  But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath
 filled your heart.
   John|16:7  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you
 that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you;
 but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
   John|16:8  And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
 righteousness, and of judgment:
   John|16:9  Of sin, because they believe not on me;
   John|16:10  Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no
 more;
   John|16:11  Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

   John|16:12  I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear
 them now.
   John|16:13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide
 you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
 shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
   John|16:14  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall
 show [it] unto you.
   John|16:15  All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I,
 that he shall take of mine, and shall show [it] unto you.
   John|16:16  A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little
 while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
   John|16:17  Then said [some] of his disciples among themselves, What is
 this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and
 again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the
 Father?
   John|16:18  They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little
 while? we cannot tell what he saith.
   John|16:19  Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said
 unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while,
 and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
   John|16:20  Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and

 lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your
 sorrow shall be turned into joy.
   John|16:21  A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour
 is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no
 more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
   John|16:22  And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again,
 and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
   John|16:23  And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I
 say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give
 [it] you.
   John|16:24  Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall
 receive, that your joy may be full.
   John|16:25  These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time
 cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall show
 you plainly of the Father.
   John|16:26  At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you,
 that I will pray the Father for you:
   John|16:27  For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me,
 and have believed that I came out from God.
   John|16:28  I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:
 again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

   John|16:29  His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly,
 and speakest no proverb.
   John|16:30  Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not
 that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth
 from God.
   John|16:31  Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
   John|16:32  Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be
 scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not
 alone, because the Father is with me.
   John|16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
 peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have
 overcome the world.
   John|17:1  These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and
 said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may
 glorify thee:
   John|17:2  As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should
 give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
   John|17:3  And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
 true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
   John|17:4  I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work
 which thou gavest me to do.

   John|17:5  And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with
 the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
   John|17:6  I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me
 out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have
 kept thy word.
   John|17:7  Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given
 me are of thee.
   John|17:8  For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and
 they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee,
 and they have believed that thou didst send me.
   John|17:9  I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which
 thou hast given me; for they are thine.
   John|17:10  And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am
 glorified in them.
   John|17:11  And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
 world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those
 whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].
   John|17:12  While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:
 those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the
 son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
   John|17:13  And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the

 world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
   John|17:14  I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
 because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
   John|17:15  I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world,
 but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
   John|17:16  They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
   John|17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
   John|17:18  As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent
 them into the world.
   John|17:19  And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might
 be sanctified through the truth.
   John|17:20  Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall
 believe on me through their word;
   John|17:21  That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I
 in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that
 thou hast sent me.
   John|17:22  And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
 they may be one, even as we are one:
   John|17:23  I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in
 one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved
 them, as thou hast loved me.

   John|17:24  Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be
 with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given
 me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
   John|17:25  O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have
 known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
   John|17:26  And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare
 [it]: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in
 them.
   John|18:1  When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his
 disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he
 entered, and his disciples.
   John|18:2  And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus
 ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
   John|18:3  Judas then, having received a band [of men] and officers from
 the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches
 and weapons.
   John|18:4  Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him,
 went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
   John|18:5  They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I
 am [he]. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
   John|18:6  As soon then as he had said unto them, I am [he], they went

 backward, and fell to the ground.
   John|18:7  Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus
 of Nazareth.
   John|18:8  Jesus answered, I have told you that I am [he]: if therefore
 ye seek me, let these go their way:
   John|18:9  That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them
 which thou gavest me have I lost none.
   John|18:10  Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high
 priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was
 Malchus.
   John|18:11  Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath:
 the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
   John|18:12  Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took
 Jesus, and bound him,
   John|18:13  And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to
 Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
   John|18:14  Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it
 was expedient that one man should die for the people.
   John|18:15  And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and [so did] another
 disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with
 Jesus into the palace of the high priest.

   John|18:16  But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other
 disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that
 kept the door, and brought in Peter.
   John|18:17  Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not
 thou also [one] of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
   John|18:18  And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a
 fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood
 with them, and warmed himself.
   John|18:19  The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his
 doctrine.
   John|18:20  Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever
 taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort;
 and in secret have I said nothing.
   John|18:21  Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said
 unto them: behold, they know what I said.
   John|18:22  And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood
 by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high
 priest so?
   John|18:23  Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of
 the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
   John|18:24  Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.

   John|18:25  And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore
 unto him, Art not thou also [one] of his disciples? He denied [it], and
 said, I am not.
   John|18:26  One of the servants of the high priest, being [his] kinsman
 whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
   John|18:27  Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
   John|18:28  Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment:
 and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest
 they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
   John|18:29  Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation
 bring ye against this man?
   John|18:30  They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor,
 we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
   John|18:31  Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him
 according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful
 for us to put any man to death:
   John|18:32  That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake,
 signifying what death he should die.
   John|18:33  Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called
 Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
   John|18:34  Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did

 others tell it thee of me?
   John|18:35  Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief
 priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
   John|18:36  Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my
 kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not
 be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
   John|18:37  Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus
 answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for
 this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the
 truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
   John|18:38  Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said
 this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him
 no fault [at all].
   John|18:39  But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at
 the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the
 Jews?
   John|18:40  Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but
 Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
   John|19:1  Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged [him].
   John|19:2  And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put [it] on
 his head, and they put on him a purple robe,

   John|19:3  And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with
 their hands.
   John|19:4  Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them,
 Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in
 him.
   John|19:5  Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the
 purple robe. And [Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man!
   John|19:6  When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they
 cried out, saying, Crucify [him], crucify [him]. Pilate saith unto them,
 Take ye him, and crucify [him]: for I find no fault in him.
   John|19:7  The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought
 to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
   John|19:8  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
 afraid;
   John|19:9  And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
 Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
   John|19:10  Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me?
 knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to
 release thee?
   John|19:11  Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power [at all] against
 me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me

 unto thee hath the greater sin.
   John|19:12  And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the
 Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's
 friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
   John|19:13  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus
 forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the
 Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
   John|19:14  And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the
 sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
   John|19:15  But they cried out, Away with [him], away with [him], crucify
 him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests
 answered, We have no king but Caesar.
   John|19:16  Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified.
 And they took Jesus, and led [him] away.
   John|19:17  And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called [the
 place] of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
   John|19:18  Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either
 side one, and Jesus in the midst.
   John|19:19  And Pilate wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross. And the
 writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
   John|19:20  This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where

 Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew,
 [and] Greek, [and] Latin.
   John|19:21  Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not,
 The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
   John|19:22  Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
   John|19:23  Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his
 garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also [his]
 coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
   John|19:24  They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but
 cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled,
 which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did
 cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
   John|19:25  Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his
 mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
   John|19:26  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple
 standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy
 son!
   John|19:27  Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from
 that hour that disciple took her unto his own [home].
   John|19:28  After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
 accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

   John|19:29  Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a
 sponge with vinegar, and put [it] upon hyssop, and put [it] to his mouth.
   John|19:30  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is
 finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
   John|19:31  The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the
 bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that
 sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be
 broken, and [that] they might be taken away.
   John|19:32  Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and
 of the other which was crucified with him.
   John|19:33  But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead
 already, they brake not his legs:
   John|19:34  But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
 forthwith came there out blood and water.
   John|19:35  And he that saw [it] bare record, and his record is true: and
 he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
   John|19:36  For these things were done, that the scripture should be
 fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
   John|19:37  And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him
 whom they pierced.
   John|19:38  And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of

 Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might
 take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave [him] leave. He came
 therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
   John|19:39  And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to
 Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred
 pound [weight].
   John|19:40  Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen
 clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
   John|19:41  Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden;
 and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
   John|19:42  There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews'
 preparation [day]; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
   John|20:1  The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when
 it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from
 the sepulchre.
   John|20:2  Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other
 disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the
 Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
   John|20:3  Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came
 to the sepulchre.
   John|20:4  So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun

 Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
   John|20:5  And he stooping down, [and looking in], saw the linen clothes
 lying; yet went he not in.
   John|20:6  Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the
 sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
   John|20:7  And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the
 linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
   John|20:8  Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the
 sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
   John|20:9  For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise
 again from the dead.
   John|20:10  Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
   John|20:11  But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she
 wept, she stooped down, [and looked] into the sepulchre,
   John|20:12  And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head,
 and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
   John|20:13  And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith
 unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they
 have laid him.
   John|20:14  And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw
 Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

   John|20:15  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest
 thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou
 have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him
 away.
   John|20:16  Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith
 unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
   John|20:17  Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended
 to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my
 Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God.
   John|20:18  Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen
 the Lord, and [that] he had spoken these things unto her.
   John|20:19  Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the
 week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear
 of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace
 [be] unto you.
   John|20:20  And when he had so said, he showed unto them [his] hands and
 his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
   John|20:21  Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my]
 Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
   John|20:22  And when he had said this, he breathed on [them], and saith
 unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

   John|20:23  Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them;
 [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
   John|20:24  But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with
 them when Jesus came.
   John|20:25  The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the
 Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of
 the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my
 hand into his side, I will not believe.
   John|20:26  And after eight days again his disciples were within, and
 Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the
 midst, and said, Peace [be] unto you.
   John|20:27  Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold
 my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be
 not faithless, but believing.
   John|20:28  And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
   John|20:29  Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou
 hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have
 believed.
   John|20:30  And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his
 disciples, which are not written in this book:
   John|20:31  But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is

 the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through
 his name.
   John|21:1  After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples
 at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise showed he [himself].
   John|21:2  There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,
 and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two other
 of his disciples.
   John|21:3  Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto
 him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship
 immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
   John|21:4  But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore:
 but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
   John|21:5  Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They
 answered him, No.
   John|21:6  And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the
 ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to
 draw it for the multitude of fishes.
   John|21:7  Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It
 is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt [his]
 fisher's coat [unto him], (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the
 sea.

   John|21:8  And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were
 not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net
 with fishes.
   John|21:9  As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of
 coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
   John|21:10  Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
 caught.
   John|21:11  Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great
 fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet
 was not the net broken.
   John|21:12  Jesus saith unto them, Come [and] dine. And none of the
 disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
   John|21:13  Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and
 fish likewise.
   John|21:14  This is now the third time that Jesus showed himself to his
 disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
   John|21:15  So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon,
 [son] of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea,
 Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
   John|21:16  He saith to him again the second time, Simon, [son] of Jonas,
 lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love

 thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
   John|21:17  He saith unto him the third time, Simon, [son] of Jonas,
 lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time,
 Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou
 knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
   John|21:18  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou
 girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt
 be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee,
 and carry [thee] whither thou wouldest not.
   John|21:19  This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify
 God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
   John|21:20  Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus
 loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord,
 which is he that betrayeth thee?
   John|21:21  Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what [shall] this
 man [do]?
   John|21:22  Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come,
 what [is that] to thee? follow thou me.
   John|21:23  Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that
 disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die;
 but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what [is that] to thee?

   John|21:24  This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and
 wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
   John|21:25  And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the
 which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world
 itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
   Acts|1:1  The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that
 Jesus began both to do and teach,
   Acts|1:2  Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through
 the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
   Acts|1:3  To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many
 infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the
 things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
   Acts|1:4  And, being assembled together with [them], commanded them that
 they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the
 Father, which, [saith he], ye have heard of me.
   Acts|1:5  For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized
 with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
   Acts|1:6  When they therefore were come together, they asked of him,
 saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
   Acts|1:7  And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or
 the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

   Acts|1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
 upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
 Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
   Acts|1:9  And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was
 taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
   Acts|1:10  And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
 behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
   Acts|1:11  Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up
 into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall
 so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
   Acts|1:12  Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called
 Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
   Acts|1:13  And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room,
 where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and
 Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon
 Zelotes, and Judas [the brother] of James.
   Acts|1:14  These all continued with one accord in prayer and
 supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his
 brethren.
   Acts|1:15  And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the
 disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred

 and twenty,)
   Acts|1:16  Men [and] brethren, this scripture must needs have been
 fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before
 concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
   Acts|1:17  For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this
 ministry.
   Acts|1:18  Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity;
 and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels
 gushed out.
   Acts|1:19  And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch
 as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say,
 The field of blood.
   Acts|1:20  For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be
 desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric let another take.
   Acts|1:21  Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the
 time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
   Acts|1:22  Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he
 was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his
 resurrection.
   Acts|1:23  And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was
 surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

   Acts|1:24  And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the
 hearts of all [men], show whether of these two thou hast chosen,
   Acts|1:25  That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from
 which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
   Acts|1:26  And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon
 Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
   Acts|2:1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
 with one accord in one place.
   Acts|2:2  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing
 mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
   Acts|2:3  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire,
 and it sat upon each of them.
   Acts|2:4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to
 speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
   Acts|2:5  And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of
 every nation under heaven.
   Acts|2:6  Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together,
 and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own
 language.
   Acts|2:7  And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another,
 Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

   Acts|2:8  And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were
 born?
   Acts|2:9  Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in
 Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
   Acts|2:10  Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya
 about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
   Acts|2:11  Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the
 wonderful works of God.
   Acts|2:12  And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to
 another, What meaneth this?
   Acts|2:13  Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
   Acts|2:14  But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice,
 and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at Jerusalem,
 be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
   Acts|2:15  For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is [but]
 the third hour of the day.
   Acts|2:16  But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
   Acts|2:17  And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will
 pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters
 shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men
 shall dream dreams:

   Acts|2:18  And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in
 those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
   Acts|2:19  And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the
 earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
   Acts|2:20  The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into
 blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
   Acts|2:21  And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the
 name of the Lord shall be saved.
   Acts|2:22  Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man
 approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did
 by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
   Acts|2:23  Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and
 foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and
 slain:
   Acts|2:24  Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
 because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
   Acts|2:25  For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always
 before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
   Acts|2:26  Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad;
 moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
   Acts|2:27  Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou

 suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
   Acts|2:28  Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make
 me full of joy with thy countenance.
   Acts|2:29  Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the
 patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with
 us unto this day.
   Acts|2:30  Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with
 an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he
 would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
   Acts|2:31  He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ,
 that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
   Acts|2:32  This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
   Acts|2:33  Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having
 received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth
 this, which ye now see and hear.
   Acts|2:34  For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith
 himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
   Acts|2:35  Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
   Acts|2:36  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God
 hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
   Acts|2:37  Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart,

 and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren,
 what shall we do?
   Acts|2:38  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one
 of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall
 receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   Acts|2:39  For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all
 that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call.
   Acts|2:40  And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying,
 Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
   Acts|2:41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the
 same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.
   Acts|2:42  And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and
 fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
   Acts|2:43  And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were
 done by the apostles.
   Acts|2:44  And all that believed were together, and had all things
 common;
   Acts|2:45  And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all
 [men], as every man had need.
   Acts|2:46  And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and
 breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and

 singleness of heart,
   Acts|2:47  Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the
 Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
   Acts|3:1  Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour
 of prayer, [being] the ninth [hour].
   Acts|3:2  And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom
 they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask
 alms of them that entered into the temple;
   Acts|3:3  Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an
 alms.
   Acts|3:4  And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on
 us.
   Acts|3:5  And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of
 them.
   Acts|3:6  Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I
 have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
   Acts|3:7  And he took him by the right hand, and lifted [him] up: and
 immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
   Acts|3:8  And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into
 the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
   Acts|3:9  And all the people saw him walking and praising God:

   Acts|3:10  And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the
 Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and
 amazement at that which had happened unto him.
   Acts|3:11  And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all
 the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's,
 greatly wondering.
   Acts|3:12  And when Peter saw [it], he answered unto the people, Ye men
 of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as
 though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
   Acts|3:13  The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our
 fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him
 in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let [him] go.
   Acts|3:14  But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a
 murderer to be granted unto you;
   Acts|3:15  And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the
 dead; whereof we are witnesses.
   Acts|3:16  And his name through faith in his name hath made this man
 strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him
 this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
   Acts|3:17  And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did [it],
 as [did] also your rulers.

   Acts|3:18  But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of
 all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
   Acts|3:19  Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be
 blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of
 the Lord;
   Acts|3:20  And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto
 you:
   Acts|3:21  Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of
 all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets
 since the world began.
   Acts|3:22  For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the
 Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall
 ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
   Acts|3:23  And it shall come to pass, [that] every soul, which will not
 hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
   Acts|3:24  Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow
 after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
   Acts|3:25  Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which
 God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all
 the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
   Acts|3:26  Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him

 to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
   Acts|4:1  And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain
 of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
   Acts|4:2  Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through
 Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
   Acts|4:3  And they laid hands on them, and put [them] in hold unto the
 next day: for it was now eventide.
   Acts|4:4  Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the
 number of the men was about five thousand.
   Acts|4:5  And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and
 elders, and scribes,
   Acts|4:6  And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and
 Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were
 gathered together at Jerusalem.
   Acts|4:7  And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what
 power, or by what name, have ye done this?
   Acts|4:8  Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye
 rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
   Acts|4:9  If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the
 impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
   Acts|4:10  Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel,

 that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God
 raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you
 whole.
   Acts|4:11  This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
 which is become the head of the corner.
   Acts|4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
 other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
   Acts|4:13  Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and
 perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and
 they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
   Acts|4:14  And beholding the man which was healed standing with them,
 they could say nothing against it.
   Acts|4:15  But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the
 council, they conferred among themselves,
   Acts|4:16  Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a
 notable miracle hath been done by them [is] manifest to all them that dwell
 in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny [it].
   Acts|4:17  But that it spread no further among the people, let us
 straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
   Acts|4:18  And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all
 nor teach in the name of Jesus.

   Acts|4:19  But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be
 right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
   Acts|4:20  For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and
 heard.
   Acts|4:21  So when they had further threatened them, they let them go,
 finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all
 [men] glorified God for that which was done.
   Acts|4:22  For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of
 healing was showed.
   Acts|4:23  And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported
 all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
   Acts|4:24  And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God
 with one accord, and said, Lord, thou [art] God, which hast made heaven,
 and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
   Acts|4:25  Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the
 heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
   Acts|4:26  The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered
 together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
   Acts|4:27  For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast
 anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people
 of Israel, were gathered together,

   Acts|4:28  For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined
 before to be done.
   Acts|4:29  And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy
 servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
   Acts|4:30  By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and
 wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
   Acts|4:31  And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were
 assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they
 spake the word of God with boldness.
   Acts|4:32  And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and
 of one soul: neither said any [of them] that ought of the things which he
 possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
   Acts|4:33  And with great power gave the apostles witness of the
 resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
   Acts|4:34  Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as
 were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the
 things that were sold,
   Acts|4:35  And laid [them] down at the apostles' feet: and distribution
 was made unto every man according as he had need.
   Acts|4:36  And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which
 is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, [and] of the

 country of Cyprus,
   Acts|4:37  Having land, sold [it], and brought the money, and laid [it]
 at the apostles' feet.
   Acts|5:1  But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a
 possession,
   Acts|5:2  And kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy
 [to it], and brought a certain part, and laid [it], at the apostles' feet.
   Acts|5:3  But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to
 lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
   Acts|5:4  Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was
 sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in
 thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
   Acts|5:5  And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the
 ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
   Acts|5:6  And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out,
 and buried [him].
   Acts|5:7  And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife,
 not knowing what was done, came in.
   Acts|5:8  And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land
 for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
   Acts|5:9  Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed

 together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which
 have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and shall carry thee out.
   Acts|5:10  Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the
 ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying [her]
 forth, buried [her] by her husband.
   Acts|5:11  And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as
 heard these things.
   Acts|5:12  And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders
 wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's
 porch.
   Acts|5:13  And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the
 people magnified them.
   Acts|5:14  And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both
 of men and women.)
   Acts|5:15  Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets,
 and laid [them] on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter
 passing by might overshadow some of them.
   Acts|5:16  There came also a multitude [out] of the cities round about
 unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean
 spirits: and they were healed every one.
   Acts|5:17  Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him,

 (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
   Acts|5:18  And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the
 common prison.
   Acts|5:19  But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors,
 and brought them forth, and said,
   Acts|5:20  Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words
 of this life.
   Acts|5:21  And when they heard [that], they entered into the temple early
 in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were
 with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the
 children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
   Acts|5:22  But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison,
 they returned, and told,
   Acts|5:23  Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and
 the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we
 found no man within.
   Acts|5:24  Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the
 chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would
 grow.
   Acts|5:25  Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye
 put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.

   Acts|5:26  Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them
 without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been
 stoned.
   Acts|5:27  And when they had brought them, they set [them] before the
 council: and the high priest asked them,
   Acts|5:28  Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not
 teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your
 doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
   Acts|5:29  Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We
 ought to obey God rather than men.
   Acts|5:30  The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and
 hanged on a tree.
   Acts|5:31  Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and
 a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
   Acts|5:32  And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the
 Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
   Acts|5:33  When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took
 counsel to slay them.
   Acts|5:34  Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named
 Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and
 commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

   Acts|5:35  And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves
 what ye intend to do as touching these men.
   Acts|5:36  For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be
 somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves:
 who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought
 to nought.
   Acts|5:37  After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the
 taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all,
 [even] as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
   Acts|5:38  And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them
 alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
   Acts|5:39  But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be
 found even to fight against God.
   Acts|5:40  And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles,
 and beaten [them], they commanded that they should not speak in the name of
 Jesus, and let them go.
   Acts|5:41  And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing
 that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
   Acts|5:42  And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not
 to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
   Acts|6:1  And in those days, when the number of the disciples was

 multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews,
 because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
   Acts|6:2  Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples [unto
 them], and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and
 serve tables.
   Acts|6:3  Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest
 report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this
 business.
   Acts|6:4  But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the
 ministry of the word.
   Acts|6:5  And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose
 Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and
 Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of
 Antioch:
   Acts|6:6  Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed,
 they laid [their] hands on them.
   Acts|6:7  And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples
 multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were
 obedient to the faith.
   Acts|6:8  And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and
 miracles among the people.

   Acts|6:9  Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called [the
 synagogue] of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them
 of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
   Acts|6:10  And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by
 which he spake.
   Acts|6:11  Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak
 blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
   Acts|6:12  And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the
 scribes, and came upon [him], and caught him, and brought [him] to the
 council,
   Acts|6:13  And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not
 to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
   Acts|6:14  For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall
 destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
   Acts|6:15  And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him,
 saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
   Acts|7:1  Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
   Acts|7:2  And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of
 glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before
 he dwelt in Charran,
   Acts|7:3  And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy

 kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.
   Acts|7:4  Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in
 Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into
 this land, wherein ye now dwell.
   Acts|7:5  And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not [so much as] to
 set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a
 possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no child.
   Acts|7:6  And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a
 strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat
 [them] evil four hundred years.
   Acts|7:7  And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge,
 said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
   Acts|7:8  And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham]
 begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob;
 and Jacob [begat] the twelve patriarchs.
   Acts|7:9  And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt:
 but God was with him,
   Acts|7:10  And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him
 favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him
 governor over Egypt and all his house.
   Acts|7:11  Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and

 Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
   Acts|7:12  But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out
 our fathers first.
   Acts|7:13  And at the second [time] Joseph was made known to his
 brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
   Acts|7:14  Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to [him], and
 all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
   Acts|7:15  So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
   Acts|7:16  And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre
 that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor [the father] of
 Sychem.
   Acts|7:17  But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had
 sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
   Acts|7:18  Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
   Acts|7:19  The same dealt subtly with our kindred, and evil entreated our
 fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might
 not live.
   Acts|7:20  In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and
 nourished up in his father's house three months:
   Acts|7:21  And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and
 nourished him for her own son.

   Acts|7:22  And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and
 was mighty in words and in deeds.
   Acts|7:23  And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart
 to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
   Acts|7:24  And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended [him], and
 avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
   Acts|7:25  For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that
 God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
   Acts|7:26  And the next day he showed himself unto them as they strove,
 and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do
 ye wrong one to another?
   Acts|7:27  But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying,
 Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
   Acts|7:28  Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
   Acts|7:29  Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land
 of Madian, where he begat two sons.
   Acts|7:30  And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in
 the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a
 bush.
   Acts|7:31  When Moses saw [it], he wondered at the sight: and as he drew
 near to behold [it], the voice of the Lord came unto him,

   Acts|7:32  [Saying], I [am] the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham,
 and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst
 not behold.
   Acts|7:33  Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet:
 for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
   Acts|7:34  I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is
 in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver
 them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
   Acts|7:35  This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler
 and a judge? the same did God send [to be] a ruler and a deliverer by the
 hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
   Acts|7:36  He brought them out, after that he had showed wonders and
 signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty
 years.
   Acts|7:37  This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A
 prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like
 unto me; him shall ye hear.
   Acts|7:38  This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the
 angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and [with] our fathers: who
 received the lively oracles to give unto us:
   Acts|7:39  To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust [him] from

 them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
   Acts|7:40  Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for [as for]
 this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is
 become of him.
   Acts|7:41  And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto
 the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
   Acts|7:42  Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of
 heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel,
 have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices [by the space of] forty
 years in the wilderness?
   Acts|7:43  Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your
 god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you
 away beyond Babylon.
   Acts|7:44  Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness,
 as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according
 to the fashion that he had seen.
   Acts|7:45  Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus
 into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of
 our fathers, unto the days of David;
   Acts|7:46  Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle
 for the God of Jacob.

   Acts|7:47  But Solomon built him an house.
   Acts|7:48  Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
 as saith the prophet,
   Acts|7:49  Heaven [is] my throne, and earth [is] my footstool: what house
 will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what [is] the place of my rest?
   Acts|7:50  Hath not my hand made all these things?
   Acts|7:51  Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do
 always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers [did], so [do] ye.
   Acts|7:52  Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and
 they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of
 whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
   Acts|7:53  Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and
 have not kept [it].
   Acts|7:54  When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and
 they gnashed on him with [their] teeth.
   Acts|7:55  But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly
 into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand
 of God,
   Acts|7:56  And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man
 standing on the right hand of God.
   Acts|7:57  Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears,

 and ran upon him with one accord,
   Acts|7:58  And cast [him] out of the city, and stoned [him]: and the
 witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was
 Saul.
   Acts|7:59  And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [God], and saying, Lord
 Jesus, receive my spirit.
   Acts|7:60  And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay
 not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
   Acts|8:1  And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there
 was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they
 were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria,
 except the apostles.
   Acts|8:2  And devout men carried Stephen [to his burial], and made great
 lamentation over him.
   Acts|8:3  As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every
 house, and haling men and women committed [them] to prison.
   Acts|8:4  Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where
 preaching the word.
   Acts|8:5  Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached
 Christ unto them.
   Acts|8:6  And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things

 which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
   Acts|8:7  For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many
 that were possessed [with them]: and many taken with palsies, and that were
 lame, were healed.
   Acts|8:8  And there was great joy in that city.
   Acts|8:9  But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in
 the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out
 that himself was some great one:
   Acts|8:10  To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest,
 saying, This man is the great power of God.
   Acts|8:11  And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had
 bewitched them with sorceries.
   Acts|8:12  But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning
 the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both
 men and women.
   Acts|8:13  Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he
 continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which
 were done.
   Acts|8:14  Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that
 Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
   Acts|8:15  Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they

 might receive the Holy Ghost:
   Acts|8:16  (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were
 baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
   Acts|8:17  Then laid they [their] hands on them, and they received the
 Holy Ghost.
   Acts|8:18  And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles'
 hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
   Acts|8:19  Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay
 hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
   Acts|8:20  But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because
 thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
   Acts|8:21  Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart
 is not right in the sight of God.
   Acts|8:22  Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if
 perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
   Acts|8:23  For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and
 [in] the bond of iniquity.
   Acts|8:24  Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me,
 that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
   Acts|8:25  And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the
 Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of

 the Samaritans.
   Acts|8:26  And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise,
 and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto
 Gaza, which is desert.
   Acts|8:27  And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an
 eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had
 the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
   Acts|8:28  Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the
 prophet.
   Acts|8:29  Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to
 this chariot.
   Acts|8:30  And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the
 prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
   Acts|8:31  And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And
 he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
   Acts|8:32  The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led
 as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so
 opened he not his mouth:
   Acts|8:33  In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall
 declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
   Acts|8:34  And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom

 speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
   Acts|8:35  Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture,
 and preached unto him Jesus.
   Acts|8:36  And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain
 water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be
 baptized?
   Acts|8:37  And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou
 mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of
 God.
   Acts|8:38  And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went
 down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
   Acts|8:39  And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the
 Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on
 his way rejoicing.
   Acts|8:40  But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he
 preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
   Acts|9:1  And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against
 the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
   Acts|9:2  And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that
 if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring
 them bound unto Jerusalem.

   Acts|9:3  And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there
 shined round about him a light from heaven:
   Acts|9:4  And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him,
 Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
   Acts|9:5  And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus
 whom thou persecutest: [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
   Acts|9:6  And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have
 me to do? And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it
 shall be told thee what thou must do.
   Acts|9:7  And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing
 a voice, but seeing no man.
   Acts|9:8  And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened,
 he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought [him] into
 Damascus.
   Acts|9:9  And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor
 drink.
   Acts|9:10  And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias;
 and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am
 here], Lord.
   Acts|9:11  And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the street
 which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for [one]

 called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
   Acts|9:12  And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and
 putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
   Acts|9:13  Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man,
 how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
   Acts|9:14  And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all
 that call on thy name.
   Acts|9:15  But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen
 vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the
 children of Israel:
   Acts|9:16  For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my
 name's sake.
   Acts|9:17  And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and
 putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, that
 appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou
 mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
   Acts|9:18  And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been
 scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
   Acts|9:19  And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was
 Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
   Acts|9:20  And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he

 is the Son of God.
   Acts|9:21  But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said; Is not this he
 that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither
 for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
   Acts|9:22  But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the
 Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
   Acts|9:23  And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel
 to kill him:
   Acts|9:24  But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the
 gates day and night to kill him.
   Acts|9:25  Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by
 the wall in a basket.
   Acts|9:26  And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join
 himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not
 that he was a disciple.
   Acts|9:27  But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and
 declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had
 spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of
 Jesus.
   Acts|9:28  And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
   Acts|9:29  And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and

 disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
   Acts|9:30  [Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to
 Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
   Acts|9:31  Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee
 and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in
 the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
   Acts|9:32  And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all
 [quarters], he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
   Acts|9:33  And there he found a certain man named AEneas, which had kept
 his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
   Acts|9:34  And Peter said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee
 whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
   Acts|9:35  And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to
 the Lord.
   Acts|9:36  Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which
 by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and
 almsdeeds which she did.
   Acts|9:37  And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and
 died: whom when they had washed, they laid [her] in an upper chamber.
   Acts|9:38  And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples
 had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring [him]

 that he would not delay to come to them.
   Acts|9:39  Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they
 brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him
 weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she
 was with them.
   Acts|9:40  But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed;
 and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her
 eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
   Acts|9:41  And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when he had
 called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
   Acts|9:42  And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in
 the Lord.
   Acts|9:43  And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with
 one Simon a tanner.
   Acts|10:1  There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a
 centurion of the band called the Italian [band],
   Acts|10:2  [A] devout [man], and one that feared God with all his house,
 which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
   Acts|10:3  He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day
 an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
   Acts|10:4  And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is

 it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for
 a memorial before God.
   Acts|10:5  And now send men to Joppa, and call for [one] Simon, whose
 surname is Peter:
   Acts|10:6  He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea
 side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
   Acts|10:7  And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he
 called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that
 waited on him continually;
   Acts|10:8  And when he had declared all [these] things unto them, he sent
 them to Joppa.
   Acts|10:9  On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh
 unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth
 hour:
   Acts|10:10  And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while
 they made ready, he fell into a trance,
   Acts|10:11  And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto
 him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to
 the earth:
   Acts|10:12  Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth,
 and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

   Acts|10:13  And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
   Acts|10:14  But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any
 thing that is common or unclean.
   Acts|10:15  And the voice [spake] unto him again the second time, What
 God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
   Acts|10:16  This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again
 into heaven.
   Acts|10:17  Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he
 had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had
 made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
   Acts|10:18  And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed
 Peter, were lodged there.
   Acts|10:19  While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,
 Behold, three men seek thee.
   Acts|10:20  Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them,
 doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
   Acts|10:21  Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from
 Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what [is] the cause
 wherefore ye are come?
   Acts|10:22  And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one
 that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was

 warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to
 hear words of thee.
   Acts|10:23  Then called he them in, and lodged [them]. And on the morrow
 Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
   Acts|10:24  And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And
 Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near
 friends.
   Acts|10:25  And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down
 at his feet, and worshipped [him].
   Acts|10:26  But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a
 man.
   Acts|10:27  And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that
 were come together.
   Acts|10:28  And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful
 thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another
 nation; but God hath showed me that I should not call any man common or
 unclean.
   Acts|10:29  Therefore came I [unto you] without gainsaying, as soon as I
 was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
   Acts|10:30  And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this
 hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood

 before me in bright clothing,
   Acts|10:31  And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are
 had in remembrance in the sight of God.
   Acts|10:32  Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname
 is Peter; he is lodged in the house of [one] Simon a tanner by the sea
 side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
   Acts|10:33  Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done
 that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to
 hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
   Acts|10:34  Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I
 perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
   Acts|10:35  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh
 righteousness, is accepted with him.
   Acts|10:36  The word which [God] sent unto the children of Israel,
 preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
   Acts|10:37  That word, [I say], ye know, which was published throughout
 all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
   Acts|10:38  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and
 with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed
 of the devil; for God was with him.
   Acts|10:39  And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the

 land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
   Acts|10:40  Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
   Acts|10:41  Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of
 God, [even] to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the
 dead.
   Acts|10:42  And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify
 that it is he which was ordained of God [to be] the Judge of quick and
 dead.
   Acts|10:43  To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name
 whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
   Acts|10:44  While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all
 them which heard the word.
   Acts|10:45  And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished,
 as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured
 out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
   Acts|10:46  For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then
 answered Peter,
   Acts|10:47  Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized,
 which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
   Acts|10:48  And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
 Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

   Acts|11:1  And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that
 the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
   Acts|11:2  And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
 circumcision contended with him,
   Acts|11:3  Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat
 with them.
   Acts|11:4  But Peter rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning, and
 expounded [it] by order unto them, saying,
   Acts|11:5  I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a
 vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down
 from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
   Acts|11:6  Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered,
 and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping
 things, and fowls of the air.
   Acts|11:7  And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and
 eat.
   Acts|11:8  But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath
 at any time entered into my mouth.
   Acts|11:9  But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath
 cleansed, [that] call not thou common.
   Acts|11:10  And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again

 into heaven.
   Acts|11:11  And, behold, immediately there were three men already come
 unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
   Acts|11:12  And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting.
 Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's
 house:
   Acts|11:13  And he showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which
 stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose
 surname is Peter;
   Acts|11:14  Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house
 shall be saved.
   Acts|11:15  And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on
 us at the beginning.
   Acts|11:16  Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said,
 John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy
 Ghost.
   Acts|11:17  Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he did]
 unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could
 withstand God?
   Acts|11:18  When they heard these things, they held their peace, and
 glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted

 repentance unto life.
   Acts|11:19  Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution
 that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and
 Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
   Acts|11:20  And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when
 they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord
 Jesus.
   Acts|11:21  And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number
 believed, and turned unto the Lord.
   Acts|11:22  Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church
 which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as
 far as Antioch.
   Acts|11:23  Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad,
 and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto
 the Lord.
   Acts|11:24  For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of
 faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
   Acts|11:25  Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
   Acts|11:26  And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And
 it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the
 church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians

 first in Antioch.
   Acts|11:27  And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
   Acts|11:28  And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by
 the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world:
 which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
   Acts|11:29  Then the disciples, every man according to his ability,
 determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
   Acts|11:30  Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands
 of Barnabas and Saul.
   Acts|12:1  Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth [his] hands
 to vex certain of the church.
   Acts|12:2  And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
   Acts|12:3  And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further
 to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
   Acts|12:4  And when he had apprehended him, he put [him] in prison, and
 delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending
 after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
   Acts|12:5  Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made
 without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
   Acts|12:6  And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night
 Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the

 keepers before the door kept the prison.
   Acts|12:7  And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon [him], and a
 light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him
 up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from [his] hands.
   Acts|12:8  And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy
 sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee,
 and follow me.
   Acts|12:9  And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was
 true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
   Acts|12:10  When they were past the first and the second ward, they came
 unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his
 own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and
 forthwith the angel departed from him.
   Acts|12:11  And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a
 surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the
 hand of Herod, and [from] all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
   Acts|12:12  And when he had considered [the thing], he came to the house
 of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were
 gathered together praying.
   Acts|12:13  And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came
 to hearken, named Rhoda.

   Acts|12:14  And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for
 gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
   Acts|12:15  And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly
 affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
   Acts|12:16  But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened [the
 door], and saw him, they were astonished.
   Acts|12:17  But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their
 peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison.
 And he said, Go show these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he
 departed, and went into another place.
   Acts|12:18  Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the
 soldiers, what was become of Peter.
   Acts|12:19  And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he
 examined the keepers, and commanded that [they] should be put to death. And
 he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and [there] abode.
   Acts|12:20  And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon:
 but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's
 chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was
 nourished by the king's [country].
   Acts|12:21  And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon
 his throne, and made an oration unto them.

   Acts|12:22  And the people gave a shout, [saying, It is] the voice of a
 god, and not of a man.
   Acts|12:23  And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he
 gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
   Acts|12:24  But the word of God grew and multiplied.
   Acts|12:25  And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had
 fulfilled [their] ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was
 Mark.
   Acts|13:1  Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain
 prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and
 Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the
 tetrarch, and Saul.
   Acts|13:2  As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost
 said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called
 them.
   Acts|13:3  And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid [their] hands on
 them, they sent [them] away.
   Acts|13:4  So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto
 Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
   Acts|13:5  And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God
 in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to [their] minister.

   Acts|13:6  And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they
 found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [was]
 Barjesus:
   Acts|13:7  Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a
 prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word
 of God.
   Acts|13:8  But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation)
 withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
   Acts|13:9  Then Saul, (who also [is called] Paul,) filled with the Holy
 Ghost, set his eyes on him,
   Acts|13:10  And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, [thou]
 child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease
 to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
   Acts|13:11  And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and
 thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there
 fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead
 him by the hand.
   Acts|13:12  Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being
 astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
   Acts|13:13  Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came
 to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

   Acts|13:14  But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in
 Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
   Acts|13:15  And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers
 of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, [Ye] men [and] brethren, if ye
 have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
   Acts|13:16  Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand said, Men
 of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
   Acts|13:17  The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and
 exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and
 with an high arm brought he them out of it.
   Acts|13:18  And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners
 in the wilderness.
   Acts|13:19  And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of
 Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
   Acts|13:20  And after that he gave [unto them] judges about the space of
 four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
   Acts|13:21  And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them
 Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty
 years.
   Acts|13:22  And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to
 be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David

 the [son] of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my
 will.
   Acts|13:23  Of this man's seed hath God according to [his] promise raised
 unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
   Acts|13:24  When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of
 repentance to all the people of Israel.
   Acts|13:25  And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that
 I am? I am not [he]. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of
 [his] feet I am not worthy to loose.
   Acts|13:26  Men [and] brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and
 whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
   Acts|13:27  For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because
 they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every
 sabbath day, they have fulfilled [them] in condemning [him].
   Acts|13:28  And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet desired
 they Pilate that he should be slain.
   Acts|13:29  And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they
 took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a sepulchre.
   Acts|13:30  But God raised him from the dead:
   Acts|13:31  And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from
 Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

   Acts|13:32  And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise
 which was made unto the fathers,
   Acts|13:33  God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that
 he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm,
 Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
   Acts|13:34  And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, [now]
 no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the
 sure mercies of David.
   Acts|13:35  Wherefore he saith also in another [psalm], Thou shalt not
 suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
   Acts|13:36  For David, after he had served his own generation by the will
 of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
   Acts|13:37  But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
   Acts|13:38  Be it known unto you therefore, men [and] brethren, that
 through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
   Acts|13:39  And by him all that believe are justified from all things,
 from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
   Acts|13:40  Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of
 in the prophets;
   Acts|13:41  Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a
 work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man

 declare it unto you.
   Acts|13:42  And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the
 Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next
 sabbath.
   Acts|13:43  Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and
 religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them,
 persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
   Acts|13:44  And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together
 to hear the word of God.
   Acts|13:45  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with
 envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul,
 contradicting and blaspheming.
   Acts|13:46  Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary
 that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye
 put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we
 turn to the Gentiles.
   Acts|13:47  For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee
 to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto
 the ends of the earth.
   Acts|13:48  And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and
 glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal

 life believed.
   Acts|13:49  And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the
 region.
   Acts|13:50  But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and
 the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and
 Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
   Acts|13:51  But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and
 came unto Iconium.
   Acts|13:52  And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy
 Ghost.
   Acts|14:1  And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together
 into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both
 of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
   Acts|14:2  But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made
 their minds evil affected against the brethren.
   Acts|14:3  Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord,
 which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and
 wonders to be done by their hands.
   Acts|14:4  But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with
 the Jews, and part with the apostles.
   Acts|14:5  And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and

 also of the Jews with their rulers, to use [them] despitefully, and to
 stone them,
   Acts|14:6  They were ware of [it], and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities
 of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
   Acts|14:7  And there they preached the gospel.
   Acts|14:8  And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet,
 being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
   Acts|14:9  The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and
 perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
   Acts|14:10  Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he
 leaped and walked.
   Acts|14:11  And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up
 their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to
 us in the likeness of men.
   Acts|14:12  And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius,
 because he was the chief speaker.
   Acts|14:13  Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city,
 brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice
 with the people.
   Acts|14:14  [Which] when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard [of],
 they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,

   Acts|14:15  And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of
 like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these
 vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea,
 and all things that are therein:
   Acts|14:16  Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own
 ways.
   Acts|14:17  Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he
 did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our
 hearts with food and gladness.
   Acts|14:18  And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people,
 that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
   Acts|14:19  And there came thither [certain] Jews from Antioch and
 Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew [him] out
 of the city, supposing he had been dead.
   Acts|14:20  Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up,
 and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to
 Derbe.
   Acts|14:21  And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had
 taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and [to] Iconium, and Antioch,
   Acts|14:22  Confirming the souls of the disciples, [and] exhorting them
 to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter

 into the kingdom of God.
   Acts|14:23  And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and
 had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they
 believed.
   Acts|14:24  And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to
 Pamphylia.
   Acts|14:25  And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down
 into Attalia:
   Acts|14:26  And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been
 recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
   Acts|14:27  And when they were come, and had gathered the church
 together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had
 opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
   Acts|14:28  And there they abode long time with the disciples.
   Acts|15:1  And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the
 brethren, [and said], Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses,
 ye cannot be saved.
   Acts|15:2  When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and
 disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain
 other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about
 this question.

   Acts|15:3  And being brought on their way by the church, they passed
 through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and
 they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
   Acts|15:4  And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of
 the church, and [of] the apostles and elders, and they declared all things
 that God had done with them.
   Acts|15:5  But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which
 believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command
 [them] to keep the law of Moses.
   Acts|15:6  And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of
 this matter.
   Acts|15:7  And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and
 said unto them, Men [and] brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God
 made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of
 the gospel, and believe.
   Acts|15:8  And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving
 them the Holy Ghost, even as [he did] unto us;
   Acts|15:9  And put no difference between us and them, purifying their
 hearts by faith.
   Acts|15:10  Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck
 of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

   Acts|15:11  But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus
 Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
   Acts|15:12  Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to
 Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought
 among the Gentiles by them.
   Acts|15:13  And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying,
 Men [and] brethren, hearken unto me:
   Acts|15:14  Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the
 Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
   Acts|15:15  And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is
 written,
   Acts|15:16  After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle
 of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof,
 and I will set it up:
   Acts|15:17  That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all
 the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all
 these things.
   Acts|15:18  Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the
 world.
   Acts|15:19  Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which
 from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

   Acts|15:20  But that we write unto them, that they abstain from
 pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled,
 and [from] blood.
   Acts|15:21  For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach
 him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
   Acts|15:22  Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole
 church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and
 Barnabas; [namely], Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the
 brethren:
   Acts|15:23  And they wrote [letters] by them after this manner; The
 apostles and elders and brethren [send] greeting unto the brethren which
 are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
   Acts|15:24  Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from
 us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, [Ye must]
 be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no [such] commandment:
   Acts|15:25  It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to
 send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
   Acts|15:26  Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord
 Jesus Christ.
   Acts|15:27  We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell
 [you] the same things by mouth.

   Acts|15:28  For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon
 you no greater burden than these necessary things;
   Acts|15:29  That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood,
 and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep
 yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
   Acts|15:30  So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when
 they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
   Acts|15:31  [Which] when they had read, they rejoiced for the
 consolation.
   Acts|15:32  And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted
 the brethren with many words, and confirmed [them].
   Acts|15:33  And after they had tarried [there] a space, they were let go
 in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
   Acts|15:34  Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
   Acts|15:35  Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and
 preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
   Acts|15:36  And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again
 and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the
 Lord, [and see] how they do.
   Acts|15:37  And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname
 was Mark.

   Acts|15:38  But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed
 from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
   Acts|15:39  And the contention was so sharp between them, that they
 departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed
 unto Cyprus;
   Acts|15:40  And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the
 brethren unto the grace of God.
   Acts|15:41  And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the
 churches.
   Acts|16:1  Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain
 disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was
 a Jewess, and believed; but his father [was] a Greek:
   Acts|16:2  Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra
 and Iconium.
   Acts|16:3  Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and
 circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they
 knew all that his father was a Greek.
   Acts|16:4  And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the
 decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which
 were at Jerusalem.
   Acts|16:5  And so were the churches established in the faith, and

 increased in number daily.
   Acts|16:6  Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of
 Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
   Acts|16:7  After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into
 Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
   Acts|16:8  And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
   Acts|16:9  And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man
 of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help
 us.
   Acts|16:10  And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured
 to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for
 to preach the gospel unto them.
   Acts|16:11  Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course
 to Samothracia, and the next [day] to Neapolis;
   Acts|16:12  And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that
 part of Macedonia, [and] a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain
 days.
   Acts|16:13  And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side,
 where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women
 which resorted [thither].
   Acts|16:14  And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the

 city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord
 opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
   Acts|16:15  And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought
 [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my
 house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
   Acts|16:16  And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel
 possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters
 much gain by soothsaying:
   Acts|16:17  The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men
 are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of
 salvation.
   Acts|16:18  And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned
 and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come
 out of her. And he came out the same hour.
   Acts|16:19  And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was
 gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew [them] into the marketplace unto
 the rulers,
   Acts|16:20  And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being
 Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
   Acts|16:21  And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive,
 neither to observe, being Romans.

   Acts|16:22  And the multitude rose up together against them: and the
 magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat [them].
   Acts|16:23  And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast
 [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
   Acts|16:24  Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the
 inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
   Acts|16:25  And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto
 God: and the prisoners heard them.
   Acts|16:26  And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the
 foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were
 opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
   Acts|16:27  And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and
 seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed
 himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
   Acts|16:28  But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm:
 for we are all here.
   Acts|16:29  Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came
 trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
   Acts|16:30  And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be
 saved?
   Acts|16:31  And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou

 shalt be saved, and thy house.
   Acts|16:32  And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that
 were in his house.
   Acts|16:33  And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed
 [their] stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
   Acts|16:34  And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat
 before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
   Acts|16:35  And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants,
 saying, Let those men go.
   Acts|16:36  And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The
 magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
   Acts|16:37  But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly
 uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast [us] into prison; and now do they
 thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch
 us out.
   Acts|16:38  And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and
 they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
   Acts|16:39  And they came and besought them, and brought [them] out, and
 desired [them] to depart out of the city.
   Acts|16:40  And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house
 of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and

 departed.
   Acts|17:1  Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia,
 they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
   Acts|17:2  And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three
 sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
   Acts|17:3  Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered,
 and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you,
 is Christ.
   Acts|17:4  And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas;
 and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a
 few.
   Acts|17:5  But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto
 them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and
 set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought
 to bring them out to the people.
   Acts|17:6  And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain
 brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the
 world upside down are come hither also;
   Acts|17:7  Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the
 decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one] Jesus.
   Acts|17:8  And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when

 they heard these things.
   Acts|17:9  And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other,
 they let them go.
   Acts|17:10  And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by
 night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews.
   Acts|17:11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that
 they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
 scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
   Acts|17:12  Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women
 which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
   Acts|17:13  But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word
 of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred
 up the people.
   Acts|17:14  And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it
 were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
   Acts|17:15  And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and
 receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with
 all speed, they departed.
   Acts|17:16  Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was
 stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
   Acts|17:17  Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and

 with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with
 him.
   Acts|17:18  Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the
 Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other
 some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached
 unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
   Acts|17:19  And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying,
 May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, [is]?
   Acts|17:20  For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we
 would know therefore what these things mean.
   Acts|17:21  (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent
 their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
   Acts|17:22  Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, [Ye]
 men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
   Acts|17:23  For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an
 altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye
 ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
   Acts|17:24  God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that
 he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
   Acts|17:25  Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed
 any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

   Acts|17:26  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on
 all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed,
 and the bounds of their habitation;
   Acts|17:27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel
 after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
   Acts|17:28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain
 also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
   Acts|17:29  Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not
 to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by
 art and man's device.
   Acts|17:30  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now
 commandeth all men every where to repent:
   Acts|17:31  Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge
 the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof]
 he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the
 dead.
   Acts|17:32  And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some
 mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this [matter].
   Acts|17:33  So Paul departed from among them.
   Acts|17:34  Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the
 which [was] Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others

 with them.
   Acts|18:1  After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to
 Corinth;
   Acts|18:2  And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately
 come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had
 commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
   Acts|18:3  And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and
 wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
   Acts|18:4  And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded
 the Jews and the Greeks.
   Acts|18:5  And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul
 was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews [that] Jesus [was]
 Christ.
   Acts|18:6  And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook
 [his] raiment, and said unto them, Your blood [be] upon your own heads; I
 [am] clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
   Acts|18:7  And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man's]
 house, named Justus, [one] that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to
 the synagogue.
   Acts|18:8  And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the
 Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and

 were baptized.
   Acts|18:9  Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not
 afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
   Acts|18:10  For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt
 thee: for I have much people in this city.
   Acts|18:11  And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the
 word of God among them.
   Acts|18:12  And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made
 insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment
 seat,
   Acts|18:13  Saying, This [fellow] persuadeth men to worship God contrary
 to the law.
   Acts|18:14  And when Paul was now about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said
 unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O [ye]
 Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
   Acts|18:15  But if it be a question of words and names, and [of] your
 law, look ye [to it]; for I will be no judge of such [matters].
   Acts|18:16  And he drave them from the judgment seat.
   Acts|18:17  Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the
 synagogue, and beat [him] before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for
 none of those things.

   Acts|18:18  And Paul [after this] tarried [there] yet a good while, and
 then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with
 him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn [his] head in Cenchrea: for he had a
 vow.
   Acts|18:19  And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself
 entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
   Acts|18:20  When they desired [him] to tarry longer time with them, he
 consented not;
   Acts|18:21  But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this
 feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God
 will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
   Acts|18:22  And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted
 the church, he went down to Antioch.
   Acts|18:23  And after he had spent some time [there], he departed, and
 went over [all] the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening
 all the disciples.
   Acts|18:24  And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an
 eloquent man, [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
   Acts|18:25  This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being
 fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the
 Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

   Acts|18:26  And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when
 Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto [them], and expounded
 unto him the way of God more perfectly.
   Acts|18:27  And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren
 wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come,
 helped them much which had believed through grace:
   Acts|18:28  For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that] publicly,
 showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
   Acts|19:1  And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul
 having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain
 disciples,
   Acts|19:2  He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye
 believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether
 there be any Holy Ghost.
   Acts|19:3  And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And
 they said, Unto John's baptism.
   Acts|19:4  Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of
 repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which
 should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
   Acts|19:5  When they heard [this], they were baptized in the name of the
 Lord Jesus.

   Acts|19:6  And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Ghost
 came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
   Acts|19:7  And all the men were about twelve.
   Acts|19:8  And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space
 of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom
 of God.
   Acts|19:9  But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake
 evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated
 the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
   Acts|19:10  And this continued by the space of two years; so that all
 they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and
 Greeks.
   Acts|19:11  And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
   Acts|19:12  So that from his body were brought unto the sick
 handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil
 spirits went out of them.
   Acts|19:13  Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them
 to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus,
 saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
   Acts|19:14  And there were seven sons of [one] Sceva, a Jew, [and] chief
 of the priests, which did so.

   Acts|19:15  And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul
 I know; but who are ye?
   Acts|19:16  And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and
 overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that
 house naked and wounded.
   Acts|19:17  And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling
 at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was
 magnified.
   Acts|19:18  And many that believed came, and confessed, and showed their
 deeds.
   Acts|19:19  Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books
 together, and burned them before all [men]: and they counted the price of
 them, and found [it] fifty thousand [pieces] of silver.
   Acts|19:20  So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
   Acts|19:21  After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit,
 when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem,
 saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
   Acts|19:22  So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto
 him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
   Acts|19:23  And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
   Acts|19:24  For a certain [man] named Demetrius, a silversmith, which

 made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
   Acts|19:25  Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation,
 and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
   Acts|19:26  Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but
 almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much
 people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
   Acts|19:27  So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at
 nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be
 despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the
 world worshippeth.
   Acts|19:28  And when they heard [these sayings], they were full of wrath,
 and cried out, saying, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.
   Acts|19:29  And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having
 caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in
 travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
   Acts|19:30  And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the
 disciples suffered him not.
   Acts|19:31  And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends,
 sent unto him, desiring [him] that he would not adventure himself into the
 theatre.
   Acts|19:32  Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the

 assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come
 together.
   Acts|19:33  And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews
 putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have
 made his defence unto the people.
   Acts|19:34  But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice
 about the space of two hours cried out, Great [is] Diana of the Ephesians.
   Acts|19:35  And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, [Ye]
 men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the
 Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the [image]
 which fell down from Jupiter?
   Acts|19:36  Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye
 ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
   Acts|19:37  For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither
 robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
   Acts|19:38  Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him,
 have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let
 them implead one another.
   Acts|19:39  But if ye inquire any thing concerning other matters, it
 shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
   Acts|19:40  For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's

 uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this
 concourse.
   Acts|19:41  And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
   Acts|20:1  And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto [him] the
 disciples, and embraced [them], and departed for to go into Macedonia.
   Acts|20:2  And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much
 exhortation, he came into Greece,
   Acts|20:3  And [there] abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait
 for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through
 Macedonia.
   Acts|20:4  And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of
 the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and
 Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
   Acts|20:5  These going before tarried for us at Troas.
   Acts|20:6  And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened
 bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
   Acts|20:7  And upon the first [day] of the week, when the disciples came
 together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the
 morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
   Acts|20:8  And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they
 were gathered together.

   Acts|20:9  And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus,
 being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk
 down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
   Acts|20:10  And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing [him]
 said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
   Acts|20:11  When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread,
 and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
   Acts|20:12  And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little
 comforted.
   Acts|20:13  And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there
 intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go
 afoot.
   Acts|20:14  And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to
 Mitylene.
   Acts|20:15  And we sailed thence, and came the next [day] over against
 Chios; and the next [day] we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium;
 and the next [day] we came to Miletus.
   Acts|20:16  For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would
 not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to
 be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
   Acts|20:17  And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of

 the church.
   Acts|20:18  And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know,
 from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been
 with you at all seasons,
   Acts|20:19  Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many
 tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
   Acts|20:20  [And] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [unto you],
 but have showed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house,
   Acts|20:21  Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks,
 repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
   Acts|20:22  And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not
 knowing the things that shall befall me there:
   Acts|20:23  Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying
 that bonds and afflictions abide me.
   Acts|20:24  But none of these things move me, neither count I my life
 dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the
 ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of
 the grace of God.
   Acts|20:25  And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone
 preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
   Acts|20:26  Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I [am] pure

 from the blood of all [men].
   Acts|20:27  For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of
 God.
   Acts|20:28  Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock,
 over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church
 of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
   Acts|20:29  For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous
 wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
   Acts|20:30  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse
 things, to draw away disciples after them.
   Acts|20:31  Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three
 years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
   Acts|20:32  And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of
 his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance
 among all them which are sanctified.
   Acts|20:33  I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
   Acts|20:34  Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered
 unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
   Acts|20:35  I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought
 to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he
 said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

   Acts|20:36  And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with
 them all.
   Acts|20:37  And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed
 him,
   Acts|20:38  Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they
 should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
   Acts|21:1  And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and
 had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the [day]
 following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
   Acts|21:2  And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard,
 and set forth.
   Acts|21:3  Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left
 hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to
 unlade her burden.
   Acts|21:4  And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said
 to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
   Acts|21:5  And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went
 our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till
 [we were] out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
   Acts|21:6  And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship;
 and they returned home again.

   Acts|21:7  And when we had finished [our] course from Tyre, we came to
 Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
   Acts|21:8  And the next [day] we that were of Paul's company departed,
 and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the
 evangelist, which was [one] of the seven; and abode with him.
   Acts|21:9  And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did
 prophesy.
   Acts|21:10  And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down from
 Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
   Acts|21:11  And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and
 bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall
 the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall
 deliver [him] into the hands of the Gentiles.
   Acts|21:12  And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that
 place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
   Acts|21:13  Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine
 heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem
 for the name of the Lord Jesus.
   Acts|21:14  And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The
 will of the Lord be done.
   Acts|21:15  And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to

 Jerusalem.
   Acts|21:16  There went with us also [certain] of the disciples of
 Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with
 whom we should lodge.
   Acts|21:17  And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us
 gladly.
   Acts|21:18  And the [day] following Paul went in with us unto James; and
 all the elders were present.
   Acts|21:19  And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what
 things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
   Acts|21:20  And when they heard [it], they glorified the Lord, and said
 unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which
 believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
   Acts|21:21  And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the
 Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought
 not to circumcise [their] children, neither to walk after the customs.
   Acts|21:22  What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together:
 for they will hear that thou art come.
   Acts|21:23  Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which
 have a vow on them;
   Acts|21:24  Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges

 with them, that they may shave [their] heads: and all may know that those
 things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but [that]
 thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
   Acts|21:25  As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written [and]
 concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep
 themselves from [things] offered to idols, and from blood, and from
 strangled, and from fornication.
   Acts|21:26  Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself
 with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the
 days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every
 one of them.
   Acts|21:27  And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which
 were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people,
 and laid hands on him,
   Acts|21:28  Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that
 teacheth all [men] every where against the people, and the law, and this
 place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted
 this holy place.
   Acts|21:29  (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an
 Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
   Acts|21:30  And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and

 they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors
 were shut.
   Acts|21:31  And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the
 chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
   Acts|21:32  Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down
 unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left
 beating of Paul.
   Acts|21:33  Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded
 [him] to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had
 done.
   Acts|21:34  And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude:
 and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him
 to be carried into the castle.
   Acts|21:35  And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was
 borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
   Acts|21:36  For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away
 with him.
   Acts|21:37  And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the
 chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
   Acts|21:38  Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an
 uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were

 murderers?
   Acts|21:39  But Paul said, I am a man [which am] a Jew of Tarsus, [a
 city] in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me
 to speak unto the people.
   Acts|21:40  And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs,
 and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great
 silence, he spake unto [them] in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
   Acts|22:1  Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence [which I make]
 now unto you.
   Acts|22:2  (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to
 them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
   Acts|22:3  I am verily a man [which am] a Jew, born in Tarsus, [a city]
 in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, [and]
 taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was
 zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
   Acts|22:4  And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and
 delivering into prisons both men and women.
   Acts|22:5  As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the
 estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren,
 and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem,
 for to be punished.

   Acts|22:6  And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come
 nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great
 light round about me.
   Acts|22:7  And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me,
 Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
   Acts|22:8  And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am
 Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
   Acts|22:9  And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were
 afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
   Acts|22:10  And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me,
 Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things
 which are appointed for thee to do.
   Acts|22:11  And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being
 led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
   Acts|22:12  And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a
 good report of all the Jews which dwelt [there],
   Acts|22:13  Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul,
 receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
   Acts|22:14  And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that
 thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the
 voice of his mouth.

   Acts|22:15  For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast
 seen and heard.
   Acts|22:16  And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash
 away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
   Acts|22:17  And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to
 Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
   Acts|22:18  And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly
 out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
   Acts|22:19  And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in
 every synagogue them that believed on thee:
   Acts|22:20  And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was
 standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them
 that slew him.
   Acts|22:21  And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence
 unto the Gentiles.
   Acts|22:22  And they gave him audience unto this word, and [then] lifted
 up their voices, and said, Away with such a [fellow] from the earth: for it
 is not fit that he should live.
   Acts|22:23  And as they cried out, and cast off [their] clothes, and
 threw dust into the air,
   Acts|22:24  The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the

 castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might
 know wherefore they cried so against him.
   Acts|22:25  And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the
 centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a
 Roman, and uncondemned?
   Acts|22:26  When the centurion heard [that], he went and told the chief
 captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
   Acts|22:27  Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art
 thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
   Acts|22:28  And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I
 this freedom. And Paul said, But I was [free] born.
   Acts|22:29  Then straightway they departed from him which should have
 examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he
 was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
   Acts|22:30  On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty
 wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from [his] bands, and
 commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought
 Paul down, and set him before them.
   Acts|23:1  And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men [and]
 brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
   Acts|23:2  And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him

 to smite him on the mouth.
   Acts|23:3  Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited
 wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be
 smitten contrary to the law?
   Acts|23:4  And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
   Acts|23:5  Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high
 priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy
 people.
   Acts|23:6  But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and
 the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men [and] brethren, I am
 a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead
 I am called in question.
   Acts|23:7  And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the
 Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
   Acts|23:8  For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither
 angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
   Acts|23:9  And there arose a great cry: and the scribes [that were] of
 the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man:
 but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against
 God.
   Acts|23:10  And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain,

 fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the
 soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring
 [him] into the castle.
   Acts|23:11  And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be
 of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must
 thou bear witness also at Rome.
   Acts|23:12  And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and
 bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor
 drink till they had killed Paul.
   Acts|23:13  And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
   Acts|23:14  And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We
 have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we
 have slain Paul.
   Acts|23:15  Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief
 captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would
 inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come
 near, are ready to kill him.
   Acts|23:16  And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he
 went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
   Acts|23:17  Then Paul called one of the centurions unto [him], and said,
 Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to

 tell him.
   Acts|23:18  So he took him, and brought [him] to the chief captain, and
 said, Paul the prisoner called me unto [him], and prayed me to bring this
 young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
   Acts|23:19  Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went [with
 him] aside privately, and asked [him], What is that thou hast to tell me?
   Acts|23:20  And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou
 wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would
 inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
   Acts|23:21  But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for
 him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath,
 that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are
 they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
   Acts|23:22  So the chief captain [then] let the young man depart, and
 charged [him, See thou] tell no man that thou hast showed these things to
 me.
   Acts|23:23  And he called unto [him] two centurions, saying, Make ready
 two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten,
 and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
   Acts|23:24  And provide [them] beasts, that they may set Paul on, and
 bring [him] safe unto Felix the governor.

   Acts|23:25  And he wrote a letter after this manner:
   Acts|23:26  Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix
 [sendeth] greeting.
   Acts|23:27  This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed
 of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that
 he was a Roman.
   Acts|23:28  And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused
 him, I brought him forth into their council:
   Acts|23:29  Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but
 to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
   Acts|23:30  And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the
 man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also
 to say before thee what [they had] against him. Farewell.
   Acts|23:31  Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and
 brought [him] by night to Antipatris.
   Acts|23:32  On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and
 returned to the castle:
   Acts|23:33  Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to
 the governor, presented Paul also before him.
   Acts|23:34  And when the governor had read [the letter], he asked of what
 province he was. And when he understood that [he was] of Cilicia;

   Acts|23:35  I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come.
 And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
   Acts|24:1  And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the
 elders, and [with] a certain orator [named] Tertullus, who informed the
 governor against Paul.
   Acts|24:2  And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse [him],
 saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy
 deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
   Acts|24:3  We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble Felix,
 with all thankfulness.
   Acts|24:4  Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I
 pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
   Acts|24:5  For we have found this man [a] pestilent [fellow], and a mover
 of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of
 the sect of the Nazarenes:
   Acts|24:6  Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took,
 and would have judged according to our law.
   Acts|24:7  But the chief captain Lysias came [upon us], and with great
 violence took [him] away out of our hands,
   Acts|24:8  Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of
 whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse

 him.
   Acts|24:9  And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
   Acts|24:10  Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to
 speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a
 judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
   Acts|24:11  Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but
 twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
   Acts|24:12  And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any
 man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the
 city:
   Acts|24:13  Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
   Acts|24:14  But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they
 call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which
 are written in the law and in the prophets:
   Acts|24:15  And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow,
 that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and
 unjust.
   Acts|24:16  And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience
 void of offence toward God, and [toward] men.
   Acts|24:17  Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and
 offerings.

   Acts|24:18  Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the
 temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
   Acts|24:19  Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they
 had ought against me.
   Acts|24:20  Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any
 evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
   Acts|24:21  Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among
 them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you
 this day.
   Acts|24:22  And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect
 knowledge of [that] way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief
 captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
   Acts|24:23  And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him]
 have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to
 minister or come unto him.
   Acts|24:24  And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife
 Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning
 the faith in Christ.
   Acts|24:25  And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment
 to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I
 have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

   Acts|24:26  He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul,
 that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and
 communed with him.
   Acts|24:27  But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and
 Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
   Acts|25:1  Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days
 he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
   Acts|25:2  Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him
 against Paul, and besought him,
   Acts|25:3  And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to
 Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
   Acts|25:4  But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and
 that he himself would depart shortly [thither].
   Acts|25:5  Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down
 with [me], and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
   Acts|25:6  And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went
 down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded
 Paul to be brought.
   Acts|25:7  And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem
 stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul,
 which they could not prove.

   Acts|25:8  While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the
 Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended
 any thing at all.
   Acts|25:9  But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul,
 and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things
 before me?
   Acts|25:10  Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I
 ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well
 knowest.
   Acts|25:11  For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy
 of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof
 these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
   Acts|25:12  Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council,
 answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
   Acts|25:13  And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto
 Caesarea to salute Festus.
   Acts|25:14  And when they had been there many days, Festus declared
 Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by
 Felix:
   Acts|25:15  About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and
 the elders of the Jews informed [me], desiring [to have] judgment against

 him.
   Acts|25:16  To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to
 deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers
 face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime
 laid against him.
   Acts|25:17  Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on
 the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought
 forth.
   Acts|25:18  Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none
 accusation of such things as I supposed:
   Acts|25:19  But had certain questions against him of their own
 superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be
 alive.
   Acts|25:20  And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked
 [him] whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these
 matters.
   Acts|25:21  But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of
 Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
   Acts|25:22  Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man
 myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
   Acts|25:23  And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with

 great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief
 captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was
 brought forth.
   Acts|25:24  And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here
 present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews
 have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and [also] here, crying that he
 ought not to live any longer.
   Acts|25:25  But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of
 death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to
 send him.
   Acts|25:26  Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord.
 Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O
 king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
   Acts|25:27  For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not
 withal to signify the crimes [laid] against him.
   Acts|26:1  Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for
 thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
   Acts|26:2  I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for
 myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of
 the Jews:
   Acts|26:3  Especially [because I know] thee to be expert in all customs

 and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me
 patiently.
   Acts|26:4  My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among
 mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
   Acts|26:5  Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that
 after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
   Acts|26:6  And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made
 of God unto our fathers:
   Acts|26:7  Unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, instantly serving
 [God] day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I
 am accused of the Jews.
   Acts|26:8  Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God
 should raise the dead?
   Acts|26:9  I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things
 contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
   Acts|26:10  Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints
 did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests;
 and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against [them].
   Acts|26:11  And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled
 [them] to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted
 [them] even unto strange cities.

   Acts|26:12  Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission
 from the chief priests,
   Acts|26:13  At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven,
 above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which
 journeyed with me.
   Acts|26:14  And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice
 speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why
 persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
   Acts|26:15  And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom
 thou persecutest.
   Acts|26:16  But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto
 thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these
 things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear
 unto thee;
   Acts|26:17  Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles,
 unto whom now I send thee,
   Acts|26:18  To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to
 light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive
 forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by
 faith that is in me.
   Acts|26:19  Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the

 heavenly vision:
   Acts|26:20  But showed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and
 throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and [then] to the Gentiles, that they
 should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
   Acts|26:21  For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went
 about to kill [me].
   Acts|26:22  Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this
 day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than
 those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
   Acts|26:23  That Christ should suffer, [and] that he should be the first
 that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and
 to the Gentiles.
   Acts|26:24  And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud
 voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
   Acts|26:25  But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth
 the words of truth and soberness.
   Acts|26:26  For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I
 speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from
 him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
   Acts|26:27  King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou
 believest.

   Acts|26:28  Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be
 a Christian.
   Acts|26:29  And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also
 all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am,
 except these bonds.
   Acts|26:30  And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the
 governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
   Acts|26:31  And when they were gone aside, they talked between
 themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
   Acts|26:32  Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set
 at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
   Acts|27:1  And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy,
 they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto [one] named Julius, a
 centurion of Augustus' band.
   Acts|27:2  And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning
 to sail by the coasts of Asia; [one] Aristarchus, a Macedonian of
 Thessalonica, being with us.
   Acts|27:3  And the next [day] we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously
 entreated Paul, and gave [him] liberty to go unto his friends to refresh
 himself.
   Acts|27:4  And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus,

 because the winds were contrary.
   Acts|27:5  And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia,
 we came to Myra, [a city] of Lycia.
   Acts|27:6  And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing
 into Italy; and he put us therein.
   Acts|27:7  And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come
 over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over
 against Salmone;
   Acts|27:8  And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The
 fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city [of] Lasea.
   Acts|27:9  Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now
 dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished [them],
   Acts|27:10  And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be
 with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our
 lives.
   Acts|27:11  Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner
 of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
   Acts|27:12  And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the
 more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain
 to Phenice, [and there] to winter; [which is] an haven of Crete, and lieth
 toward the south west and north west.

   Acts|27:13  And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had
 obtained [their] purpose, loosing [thence], they sailed close by Crete.
   Acts|27:14  But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind,
 called Euroclydon.
   Acts|27:15  And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the
 wind, we let [her] drive.
   Acts|27:16  And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we
 had much work to come by the boat:
   Acts|27:17  Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding
 the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, struck
 sail, and so were driven.
   Acts|27:18  And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next
 [day] they lightened the ship;
   Acts|27:19  And the third [day] we cast out with our own hands the
 tackling of the ship.
   Acts|27:20  And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no
 small tempest lay on [us], all hope that we should be saved was then taken
 away.
   Acts|27:21  But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of
 them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed
 from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

   Acts|27:22  And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be
 no loss of [any man's] life among you, but of the ship.
   Acts|27:23  For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I
 am, and whom I serve,
   Acts|27:24  Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar:
 and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
   Acts|27:25  Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it
 shall be even as it was told me.
   Acts|27:26  Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
   Acts|27:27  But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up
 and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to
 some country;
   Acts|27:28  And sounded, and found [it] twenty fathoms: and when they had
 gone a little further, they sounded again, and found [it] fifteen fathoms.
   Acts|27:29  Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast
 four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
   Acts|27:30  And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when
 they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would
 have cast anchors out of the foreship,
   Acts|27:31  Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these
 abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.

   Acts|27:32  Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her
 fall off.
   Acts|27:33  And while the day was coming on, Paul besought [them] all to
 take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and
 continued fasting, having taken nothing.
   Acts|27:34  Wherefore I pray you to take [some] meat: for this is for
 your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
   Acts|27:35  And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks
 to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken [it], he began to
 eat.
   Acts|27:36  Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took [some]
 meat.
   Acts|27:37  And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and
 sixteen souls.
   Acts|27:38  And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and
 cast out the wheat into the sea.
   Acts|27:39  And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they
 discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded,
 if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
   Acts|27:40  And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed
 [themselves] unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the

 mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
   Acts|27:41  And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the
 ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the
 hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
   Acts|27:42  And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any
 of them should swim out, and escape.
   Acts|27:43  But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from
 [their] purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast
 [themselves] first [into the sea], and get to land:
   Acts|27:44  And the rest, some on boards, and some on [broken pieces] of
 the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
   Acts|28:1  And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was
 called Melita.
   Acts|28:2  And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for
 they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present
 rain, and because of the cold.
   Acts|28:3  And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid [them]
 on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
   Acts|28:4  And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] beast hang on his
 hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom,
 though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.

   Acts|28:5  And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
   Acts|28:6  Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen
 down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no
 harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
   Acts|28:7  In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the
 island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days
 courteously.
   Acts|28:8  And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a
 fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid
 his hands on him, and healed him.
   Acts|28:9  So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the
 island, came, and were healed:
   Acts|28:10  Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed,
 they laded [us] with such things as were necessary.
   Acts|28:11  And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria,
 which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
   Acts|28:12  And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.
   Acts|28:13  And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium:
 and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
   Acts|28:14  Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them
 seven days: and so we went toward Rome.

   Acts|28:15  And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to
 meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw,
 he thanked God, and took courage.
   Acts|28:16  And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the
 prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by
 himself with a soldier that kept him.
   Acts|28:17  And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the
 chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto
 them, Men [and] brethren, though I have committed nothing against the
 people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from
 Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
   Acts|28:18  Who, when they had examined me, would have let [me] go,
 because there was no cause of death in me.
   Acts|28:19  But when the Jews spake against [it], I was constrained to
 appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
   Acts|28:20  For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see [you],
 and to speak with [you]: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound
 with this chain.
   Acts|28:21  And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of
 Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came showed or
 spake any harm of thee.

   Acts|28:22  But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as
 concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
   Acts|28:23  And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him
 into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God,
 persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and [out
 of] the prophets, from morning till evening.
   Acts|28:24  And some believed the things which were spoken, and some
 believed not.
   Acts|28:25  And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed,
 after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias
 the prophet unto our fathers,
   Acts|28:26  Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear,
 and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
   Acts|28:27  For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears
 are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see
 with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their]
 heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
   Acts|28:28  Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is
 sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it.
   Acts|28:29  And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had
 great reasoning among themselves.

   Acts|28:30  And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and
 received all that came in unto him,
   Acts|28:31  Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which
 concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
   Romans|1:1  Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle,
 separated unto the gospel of God,
   Romans|1:2  (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy
 scriptures,)
   Romans|1:3  Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of
 the seed of David according to the flesh;
   Romans|1:4  And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to
 the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
   Romans|1:5  By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience
 to the faith among all nations, for his name:
   Romans|1:6  Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
   Romans|1:7  To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be]
 saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus
 Christ.
   Romans|1:8  First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that
 your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
   Romans|1:9  For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the

 gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my
 prayers;
   Romans|1:10  Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a
 prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
   Romans|1:11  For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some
 spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
   Romans|1:12  That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the
 mutual faith both of you and me.
   Romans|1:13  Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes
 I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some
 fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
   Romans|1:14  I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both
 to the wise, and to the unwise.
   Romans|1:15  So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to
 you that are at Rome also.
   Romans|1:16  For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the
 power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first,
 and also to the Greek.
   Romans|1:17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith
 to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
   Romans|1:18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all

 ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in
 unrighteousness;
   Romans|1:19  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;
 for God hath showed [it] unto them.
   Romans|1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the
 world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,
 [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
   Romans|1:21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not
 as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and
 their foolish heart was darkened.
   Romans|1:22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
   Romans|1:23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image
 made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and
 creeping things.
   Romans|1:24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the
 lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between
 themselves:
   Romans|1:25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and
 served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
   Romans|1:26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for
 even their women did change the natural use into that which is against

 nature:
   Romans|1:27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the
 woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that
 which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their
 error which was meet.
   Romans|1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in [their]
 knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which
 are not convenient;
   Romans|1:29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,
 wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate,
 deceit, malignity; whisperers,
   Romans|1:30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters,
 inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
   Romans|1:31  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural
 affection, implacable, unmerciful:
   Romans|1:32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such
 things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them
 that do them.
   Romans|2:1  Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art
 that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself;
 for thou that judgest doest the same things.

   Romans|2:2  But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to
 truth against them which commit such things.
   Romans|2:3  And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do
 such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of
 God?
   Romans|2:4  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance
 and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to
 repentance?
   Romans|2:5  But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up
 unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous
 judgment of God;
   Romans|2:6  Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
   Romans|2:7  To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for
 glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
   Romans|2:8  But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the
 truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
   Romans|2:9  Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth
 evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
   Romans|2:10  But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh
 good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
   Romans|2:11  For there is no respect of persons with God.

   Romans|2:12  For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish
 without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the
 law;
   Romans|2:13  (For not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but
 the doers of the law shall be justified.
   Romans|2:14  For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature
 the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto
 themselves:
   Romans|2:15  Which show the work of the law written in their hearts,
 their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while
 accusing or else excusing one another;)
   Romans|2:16  In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus
 Christ according to my gospel.
   Romans|2:17  Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and
 makest thy boast of God,
   Romans|2:18  And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are
 more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
   Romans|2:19  And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the
 blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
   Romans|2:20  An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast
 the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

   Romans|2:21  Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not
 thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
   Romans|2:22  Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou
 commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
   Romans|2:23  Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the
 law dishonourest thou God?
   Romans|2:24  For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through
 you, as it is written.
   Romans|2:25  For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but
 if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
   Romans|2:26  Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of
 the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
   Romans|2:27  And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it
 fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost
 transgress the law?
   Romans|2:28  For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is
 that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
   Romans|2:29  But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision
 [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose
 praise [is] not of men, but of God.
   Romans|3:1  What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there]

 of circumcision?
   Romans|3:2  Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were
 committed the oracles of God.
   Romans|3:3  For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make
 the faith of God without effect?
   Romans|3:4  God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it
 is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest
 overcome when thou art judged.
   Romans|3:5  But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God,
 what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a
 man)
   Romans|3:6  God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
   Romans|3:7  For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie
 unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
   Romans|3:8  And not [rather], (as we be slanderously reported, and as
 some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose
 damnation is just.
   Romans|3:9  What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no wise: for we
 have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
   Romans|3:10  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
   Romans|3:11  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh

 after God.
   Romans|3:12  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become
 unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
   Romans|3:13  Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they
 have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips:
   Romans|3:14  Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness:
   Romans|3:15  Their feet [are] swift to shed blood:
   Romans|3:16  Destruction and misery [are] in their ways:
   Romans|3:17  And the way of peace have they not known:
   Romans|3:18  There is no fear of God before their eyes.
   Romans|3:19  Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith
 to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the
 world may become guilty before God.
   Romans|3:20  Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be
 justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin.
   Romans|3:21  But now the righteousness of God without the law is
 manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
   Romans|3:22  Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus
 Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
   Romans|3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
   Romans|3:24  Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption

 that is in Christ Jesus:
   Romans|3:25  Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith
 in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that
 are past, through the forbearance of God;
   Romans|3:26  To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he
 might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
   Romans|3:27  Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of
 works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
   Romans|3:28  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith
 without the deeds of the law.
   Romans|3:29  [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the
 Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
   Romans|3:30  Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision
 by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
   Romans|3:31  Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea,
 we establish the law.
   Romans|4:1  What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining
 to the flesh, hath found?
   Romans|4:2  For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to
 glory; but not before God.
   Romans|4:3  For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it

 was counted unto him for righteousness.
   Romans|4:4  Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace,
 but of debt.
   Romans|4:5  But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that
 justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
   Romans|4:6  Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man,
 unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
   Romans|4:7  [Saying], Blessed [are] they whose iniquities are forgiven,
 and whose sins are covered.
   Romans|4:8  Blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
   Romans|4:9  [Cometh] this blessedness then upon the circumcision [only],
 or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to
 Abraham for righteousness.
   Romans|4:10  How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in
 uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
   Romans|4:11  And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the
 righteousness of the faith which [he had yet] being uncircumcised: that he
 might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not
 circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
   Romans|4:12  And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the
 circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our

 father Abraham, which [he had] being [yet] uncircumcised.
   Romans|4:13  For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world,
 [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the
 righteousness of faith.
   Romans|4:14  For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made
 void, and the promise made of none effect:
   Romans|4:15  Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there
 is] no transgression.
   Romans|4:16  Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to
 the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which
 is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is
 the father of us all,
   Romans|4:17  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many
 nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead,
 and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
   Romans|4:18  Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the
 father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy
 seed be.
   Romans|4:19  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body
 now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness
 of Sarah's womb:

   Romans|4:20  He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but
 was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
   Romans|4:21  And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was
 able also to perform.
   Romans|4:22  And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
   Romans|4:23  Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was
 imputed to him;
   Romans|4:24  But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe
 on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
   Romans|4:25  Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for
 our justification.
   Romans|5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
 through our Lord Jesus Christ:
   Romans|5:2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein
 we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
   Romans|5:3  And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing
 that tribulation worketh patience;
   Romans|5:4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
   Romans|5:5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed
 abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
   Romans|5:6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ

 died for the ungodly.
   Romans|5:7  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet
 peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
   Romans|5:8  But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were
 yet sinners, Christ died for us.
   Romans|5:9  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be
 saved from wrath through him.
   Romans|5:10  For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by
 the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his
 life.
   Romans|5:11  And not only [so], but we also joy in God through our Lord
 Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
   Romans|5:12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and
 death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
   Romans|5:13  (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not
 imputed when there is no law.
   Romans|5:14  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over
 them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who
 is the figure of him that was to come.
   Romans|5:15  But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if
 through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and

 the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto
 many.
   Romans|5:16  And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift:
 for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of
 many offences unto justification.
   Romans|5:17  For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more
 they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness
 shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
   Romans|5:18  Therefore as by the offence of one [judgment came] upon all
 men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one [the free gift
 came] upon all men unto justification of life.
   Romans|5:19  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so
 by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
   Romans|5:20  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But
 where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
   Romans|5:21  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace
 reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
   Romans|6:1  What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace
 may abound?
   Romans|6:2  God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any
 longer therein?

   Romans|6:3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus
 Christ were baptized into his death?
   Romans|6:4  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that
 like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even
 so we also should walk in newness of life.
   Romans|6:5  For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his
 death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:
   Romans|6:6  Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with [him], that
 the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
 sin.
   Romans|6:7  For he that is dead is freed from sin.
   Romans|6:8  Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also
 live with him:
   Romans|6:9  Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
 death hath no more dominion over him.
   Romans|6:10  For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he
 liveth, he liveth unto God.
   Romans|6:11  Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto
 sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
   Romans|6:12  Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye
 should obey it in the lusts thereof.

   Romans|6:13  Neither yield ye your members [as] instruments of
 unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are
 alive from the dead, and your members [as] instruments of righteousness
 unto God.
   Romans|6:14  For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not
 under the law, but under grace.
   Romans|6:15  What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law,
 but under grace? God forbid.
   Romans|6:16  Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to
 obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of
 obedience unto righteousness?
   Romans|6:17  But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye
 have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
   Romans|6:18  Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of
 righteousness.
   Romans|6:19  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of
 your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and
 to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to
 righteousness unto holiness.
   Romans|6:20  For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from
 righteousness.

   Romans|6:21  What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now
 ashamed? for the end of those things [is] death.
   Romans|6:22  But now being made free from sin, and become servants to
 God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
   Romans|6:23  For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is]
 eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
   Romans|7:1  Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the
 law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
   Romans|7:2  For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to
 [her] husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is
 loosed from the law of [her] husband.
   Romans|7:3  So then if, while [her] husband liveth, she be married to
 another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead,
 she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be
 married to another man.
   Romans|7:4  Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by
 the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even] to him who
 is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
   Romans|7:5  For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which
 were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
   Romans|7:6  But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead

 wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not
 [in] the oldness of the letter.
   Romans|7:7  What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I
 had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law
 had said, Thou shalt not covet.
   Romans|7:8  But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me
 all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin [was] dead.
   Romans|7:9  For I was alive without the law once: but when the
 commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
   Romans|7:10  And the commandment, which [was ordained] to life, I found
 [to be] unto death.
   Romans|7:11  For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me,
 and by it slew [me].
   Romans|7:12  Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and
 just, and good.
   Romans|7:13  Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid.
 But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is
 good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
   Romans|7:14  For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold
 under sin.
   Romans|7:15  For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I

 not; but what I hate, that do I.
   Romans|7:16  If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law
 that [it is] good.
   Romans|7:17  Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth
 in me.
   Romans|7:18  For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no
 good thing: for to will is present with me; but [how] to perform that which
 is good I find not.
   Romans|7:19  For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I
 would not, that I do.
   Romans|7:20  Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it,
 but sin that dwelleth in me.
   Romans|7:21  I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is
 present with me.
   Romans|7:22  For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
   Romans|7:23  But I see another law in my members, warring against the law
 of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my
 members.
   Romans|7:24  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body
 of this death?
   Romans|7:25  I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the

 mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
   Romans|8:1  [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in
 Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
   Romans|8:2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made
 me free from the law of sin and death.
   Romans|8:3  For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through
 the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for
 sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
   Romans|8:4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us,
 who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
   Romans|8:5  For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the
 flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
   Romans|8:6  For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually
 minded [is] life and peace.
   Romans|8:7  Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is
 not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
   Romans|8:8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
   Romans|8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that
 the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of
 Christ, he is none of his.
   Romans|8:10  And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of

 sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
   Romans|8:11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead
 dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken
 your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
   Romans|8:12  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to
 live after the flesh.
   Romans|8:13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye
 through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
   Romans|8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the
 sons of God.
   Romans|8:15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to
 fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba,
 Father.
   Romans|8:16  The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we
 are the children of God:
   Romans|8:17  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs
 with Christ; if so be that we suffer with [him], that we may be also
 glorified together.
   Romans|8:18  For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time [are]
 not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
   Romans|8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the

 manifestation of the sons of God.
   Romans|8:20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly,
 but by reason of him who hath subjected [the same] in hope,
   Romans|8:21  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the
 bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
   Romans|8:22  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth
 in pain together until now.
   Romans|8:23  And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the
 firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves,
 waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
   Romans|8:24  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope:
 for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
   Romans|8:25  But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with
 patience wait for [it].
   Romans|8:26  Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we
 know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh
 intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
   Romans|8:27  And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind
 of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to
 [the will of] God.
   Romans|8:28  And we know that all things work together for good to them

 that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
   Romans|8:29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be]
 conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among
 many brethren.
   Romans|8:30  Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and
 whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also
 glorified.
   Romans|8:31  What shall we then say to these things? If God [be] for us,
 who [can be] against us?
   Romans|8:32  He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us
 all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
   Romans|8:33  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It
 is] God that justifieth.
   Romans|8:34  Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, yea
 rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also
 maketh intercession for us.
   Romans|8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? [shall]
 tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or
 peril, or sword?
   Romans|8:36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day
 long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

   Romans|8:37  Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
 him that loved us.
   Romans|8:38  For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor
 angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to
 come,
   Romans|8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able
 to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
   Romans|9:1  I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also
 bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
   Romans|9:2  That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
   Romans|9:3  For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my
 brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
   Romans|9:4  Who are Israelites; to whom [pertaineth] the adoption, and
 the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service
 [of God], and the promises;
   Romans|9:5  Whose [are] the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh
 Christ [came], who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
   Romans|9:6  Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For
 they [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel:
   Romans|9:7  Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all
 children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

   Romans|9:8  That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these
 [are] not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted
 for the seed.
   Romans|9:9  For this [is] the word of promise, At this time will I come,
 and Sarah shall have a son.
   Romans|9:10  And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had conceived by
 one, [even] by our father Isaac;
   Romans|9:11  (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done
 any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might
 stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
   Romans|9:12  It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
   Romans|9:13  As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
   Romans|9:14  What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God?
 God forbid.
   Romans|9:15  For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have
 mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
   Romans|9:16  So then [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him that
 runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
   Romans|9:17  For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same
 purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that
 my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

   Romans|9:18  Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and
 whom he will he hardeneth.
   Romans|9:19  Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For
 who hath resisted his will?
   Romans|9:20  Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?
 Shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me
 thus?
   Romans|9:21  Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to
 make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
   Romans|9:22  [What] if God, willing to show [his] wrath, and to make his
 power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to
 destruction:
   Romans|9:23  And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the
 vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
   Romans|9:24  Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also
 of the Gentiles?
   Romans|9:25  As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which
 were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
   Romans|9:26  And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was
 said unto them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called the
 children of the living God.

   Romans|9:27  Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of
 the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
   Romans|9:28  For he will finish the work, and cut [it] short in
 righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
   Romans|9:29  And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had
 left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
   Romans|9:30  What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed
 not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the
 righteousness which is of faith.
   Romans|9:31  But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness,
 hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
   Romans|9:32  Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it
 were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
   Romans|9:33  As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and
 rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
   Romans|10:1  Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is,
 that they might be saved.
   Romans|10:2  For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not
 according to knowledge.
   Romans|10:3  For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going
 about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves

 unto the righteousness of God.
   Romans|10:4  For Christ [is] the end of the law for righteousness to
 every one that believeth.
   Romans|10:5  For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law,
 That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
   Romans|10:6  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this
 wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to
 bring Christ down [from above]:)
   Romans|10:7  Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up
 Christ again from the dead.)
   Romans|10:8  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy
 mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
   Romans|10:9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
 and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
 thou shalt be saved.
   Romans|10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and
 with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
   Romans|10:11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall
 not be ashamed.
   Romans|10:12  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:
 for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

   Romans|10:13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
 saved.
   Romans|10:14  How then shall they call on him in whom they have not
 believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
 and how shall they hear without a preacher?
   Romans|10:15  And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is
 written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of
 peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
   Romans|10:16  But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith,
 Lord, who hath believed our report?
   Romans|10:17  So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word
 of God.
   Romans|10:18  But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound
 went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
   Romans|10:19  But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will
 provoke you to jealousy by [them that are] no people, [and] by a foolish
 nation I will anger you.
   Romans|10:20  But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them
 that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
   Romans|10:21  But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth
 my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

   Romans|11:1  I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I
 also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.
   Romans|11:2  God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye
 not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God
 against Israel, saying,
   Romans|11:3  Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine
 altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
   Romans|11:4  But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved
 to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of]
 Baal.
   Romans|11:5  Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant
 according to the election of grace.
   Romans|11:6  And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise
 grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace:
 otherwise work is no more work.
   Romans|11:7  What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh
 for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
   Romans|11:8  (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit
 of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not
 hear;) unto this day.
   Romans|11:9  And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a

 trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
   Romans|11:10  Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow
 down their back alway.
   Romans|11:11  I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God
 forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the
 Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
   Romans|11:12  Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and
 the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their
 fulness?
   Romans|11:13  For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle
 of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
   Romans|11:14  If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are]
 my flesh, and might save some of them.
   Romans|11:15  For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of the
 world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
   Romans|11:16  For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]:
 and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
   Romans|11:17  And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being
 a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of
 the root and fatness of the olive tree;
   Romans|11:18  Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou

 bearest not the root, but the root thee.
   Romans|11:19  Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I
 might be grafted in.
   Romans|11:20  Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou
 standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
   Romans|11:21  For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed]
 lest he also spare not thee.
   Romans|11:22  Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them
 which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his]
 goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
   Romans|11:23  And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall
 be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
   Romans|11:24  For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by
 nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how
 much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be grafted into
 their own olive tree?
   Romans|11:25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of
 this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness
 in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come
 in.
   Romans|11:26  And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There

 shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from
 Jacob:
   Romans|11:27  For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away
 their sins.
   Romans|11:28  As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your
 sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers'
 sakes.
   Romans|11:29  For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.
   Romans|11:30  For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now
 obtained mercy through their unbelief:
   Romans|11:31  Even so have these also now not believed, that through your
 mercy they also may obtain mercy.
   Romans|11:32  For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might
 have mercy upon all.
   Romans|11:33  O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge
 of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding
 out!
   Romans|11:34  For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been
 his counsellor?
   Romans|11:35  Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed
 unto him again?

   Romans|11:36  For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things:
 to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen.
   Romans|12:1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
 that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
 [which is] your reasonable service.
   Romans|12:2  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by
 the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and
 acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
   Romans|12:3  For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man
 that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to
 think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the
 measure of faith.
   Romans|12:4  For as we have many members in one body, and all members
 have not the same office:
   Romans|12:5  So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one
 members one of another.
   Romans|12:6  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is
 given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the
 proportion of faith;
   Romans|12:7  Or ministry, [let us wait] on [our] ministering: or he that
 teacheth, on teaching;

   Romans|12:8  Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, [let
 him do it] with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth
 mercy, with cheerfulness.
   Romans|12:9  [Let] love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is
 evil; cleave to that which is good.
   Romans|12:10  [Be] kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love;
 in honour preferring one another;
   Romans|12:11  Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the
 Lord;
   Romans|12:12  Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing
 instant in prayer;
   Romans|12:13  Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to
 hospitality.
   Romans|12:14  Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
   Romans|12:15  Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that
 weep.
   Romans|12:16  [Be] of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high
 things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own
 conceits.
   Romans|12:17  Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest
 in the sight of all men.

   Romans|12:18  If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably
 with all men.
   Romans|12:19  Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give
 place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay,
 saith the Lord.
   Romans|12:20  Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst,
 give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
   Romans|12:21  Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
   Romans|13:1  Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there
 is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
   Romans|13:2  Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the
 ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves
 damnation.
   Romans|13:3  For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil.
 Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou
 shalt have praise of the same:
   Romans|13:4  For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou
 do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for
 he is the minister of God, a revenger to [execute] wrath upon him that
 doeth evil.
   Romans|13:5  Wherefore [ye] must needs be subject, not only for wrath,

 but also for conscience sake.
   Romans|13:6  For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's
 ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
   Romans|13:7  Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute
 [is due]; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
   Romans|13:8  Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that
 loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
   Romans|13:9  For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not
 kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt
 not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly
 comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
 thyself.
   Romans|13:10  Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love [is]
 the fulfilling of the law.
   Romans|13:11  And that, knowing the time, that now [it is] high time to
 awake out of sleep: for now [is] our salvation nearer than when we
 believed.
   Romans|13:12  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us
 therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of
 light.
   Romans|13:13  Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and

 drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
   Romans|13:14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision
 for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].
   Romans|14:1  Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, [but] not to
 doubtful disputations.
   Romans|14:2  For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who
 is weak, eateth herbs.
   Romans|14:3  Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let
 not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
   Romans|14:4  Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own
 master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able
 to make him stand.
   Romans|14:5  One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth
 every day [alike]. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
   Romans|14:6  He that regardeth the day, regardeth [it] unto the Lord; and
 he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard [it]. He that
 eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth
 not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
   Romans|14:7  For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to
 himself.
   Romans|14:8  For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we

 die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the
 Lord's.
   Romans|14:9  For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived,
 that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
   Romans|14:10  But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set
 at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of
 Christ.
   Romans|14:11  For it is written, [As] I live, saith the Lord, every knee
 shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
   Romans|14:12  So then every one of us shall give account of himself to
 God.
   Romans|14:13  Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge
 this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in
 [his] brother's way.
   Romans|14:14  I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that [there is]
 nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be
 unclean, to him [it is] unclean.
   Romans|14:15  But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest
 thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
   Romans|14:16  Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
   Romans|14:17  For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but

 righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
   Romans|14:18  For he that in these things serveth Christ [is] acceptable
 to God, and approved of men.
   Romans|14:19  Let us therefore follow after the things which make for
 peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
   Romans|14:20  For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed
 [are] pure; but [it is] evil for that man who eateth with offence.
   Romans|14:21  [It is] good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor
 [any thing] whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
   Romans|14:22  Hast thou faith? have [it] to thyself before God. Happy
 [is] he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
   Romans|14:23  And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because [he
 eateth] not of faith: for whatsoever [is] not of faith is sin.
   Romans|15:1  We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the
 weak, and not to please ourselves.
   Romans|15:2  Let every one of us please [his] neighbour for [his] good to
 edification.
   Romans|15:3  For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,
 The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
   Romans|15:4  For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written
 for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures

 might have hope.
   Romans|15:5  Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be
 likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
   Romans|15:6  That ye may with one mind [and] one mouth glorify God, even
 the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   Romans|15:7  Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us
 to the glory of God.
   Romans|15:8  Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the
 circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] unto the
 fathers:
   Romans|15:9  And that the Gentiles might glorify God for [his] mercy; as
 it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles,
 and sing unto thy name.
   Romans|15:10  And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
   Romans|15:11  And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him,
 all ye people.
   Romans|15:12  And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse,
 and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the
 Gentiles trust.
   Romans|15:13  Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
 believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

   Romans|15:14  And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye
 also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish
 one another.
   Romans|15:15  Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto
 you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is
 given to me of God,
   Romans|15:16  That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the
 Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the
 Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
   Romans|15:17  I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ
 in those things which pertain to God.
   Romans|15:18  For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which
 Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and
 deed,
   Romans|15:19  Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the
 Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I
 have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
   Romans|15:20  Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where
 Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
   Romans|15:21  But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they
 shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

   Romans|15:22  For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming
 to you.
   Romans|15:23  But now having no more place in these parts, and having a
 great desire these many years to come unto you;
   Romans|15:24  Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to
 you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way
 thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your [company].
   Romans|15:25  But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
   Romans|15:26  For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a
 certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
   Romans|15:27  It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are.
 For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things,
 their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
   Romans|15:28  When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to
 them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
   Romans|15:29  And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in
 the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
   Romans|15:30  Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's
 sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in
 [your] prayers to God for me;
   Romans|15:31  That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in

 Judaea; and that my service which [I have] for Jerusalem may be accepted of
 the saints;
   Romans|15:32  That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and
 may with you be refreshed.
   Romans|15:33  Now the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
   Romans|16:1  I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of
 the church which is at Cenchrea:
   Romans|16:2  That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and
 that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she
 hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
   Romans|16:3  Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
   Romans|16:4  Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom
 not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
   Romans|16:5  Likewise [greet] the church that is in their house. Salute
 my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
   Romans|16:6  Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
   Romans|16:7  Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my
 fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in
 Christ before me.
   Romans|16:8  Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
   Romans|16:9  Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.

   Romans|16:10  Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of
 Aristobulus' [household].
   Romans|16:11  Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the
 [household] of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
   Romans|16:12  Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord.
 Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
   Romans|16:13  Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
   Romans|16:14  Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and
 the brethren which are with them.
   Romans|16:15  Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and
 Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
   Romans|16:16  Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of
 Christ salute you.
   Romans|16:17  Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause
 divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and
 avoid them.
   Romans|16:18  For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but
 their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of
 the simple.
   Romans|16:19  For your obedience is come abroad unto all [men]. I am glad
 therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is

 good, and simple concerning evil.
   Romans|16:20  And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet
 shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.
   Romans|16:21  Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and
 Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
   Romans|16:22  I Tertius, who wrote [this] epistle, salute you in the
 Lord.
   Romans|16:23  Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you.
 Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
   Romans|16:24  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen.
   Romans|16:25  Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my
 gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of
 the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
   Romans|16:26  But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the
 prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known
 to all nations for the obedience of faith:
   Romans|16:27  To God only wise, [be] glory through Jesus Christ for ever.
 Amen.
   Corinthians-1|1:1  Paul, called [to be] an apostle of Jesus Christ
 through the will of God, and Sosthenes [our] brother,
   Corinthians-1|1:2  Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them

 that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called [to be] saints, with all that
 in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and
 ours:
   Corinthians-1|1:3  Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father,
 and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
   Corinthians-1|1:4  I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of
 God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
   Corinthians-1|1:5  That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all
 utterance, and [in] all knowledge;
   Corinthians-1|1:6  Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
   Corinthians-1|1:7  So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the
 coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
   Corinthians-1|1:8  Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may
 be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   Corinthians-1|1:9  God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the
 fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
   Corinthians-1|1:10  Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord
 Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no
 divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same
 mind and in the same judgment.
   Corinthians-1|1:11  For it hath been declared unto me of you, my

 brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are
 contentions among you.
   Corinthians-1|1:12  Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of
 Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
   Corinthians-1|1:13  Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or
 were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
   Corinthians-1|1:14  I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus
 and Gaius;
   Corinthians-1|1:15  Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own
 name.
   Corinthians-1|1:16  And I baptized also the household of Stephanas:
 besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
   Corinthians-1|1:17  For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the
 gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made
 of none effect.
   Corinthians-1|1:18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish
 foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
   Corinthians-1|1:19  For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the
 wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
   Corinthians-1|1:20  Where [is] the wise? where [is] the scribe? where
 [is] the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of

 this world?
   Corinthians-1|1:21  For after that in the wisdom of God the world by
 wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save
 them that believe.
   Corinthians-1|1:22  For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek
 after wisdom:
   Corinthians-1|1:23  But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a
 stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
   Corinthians-1|1:24  But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks,
 Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
   Corinthians-1|1:25  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and
 the weakness of God is stronger than men.
   Corinthians-1|1:26  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many
 wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, [are called]:
   Corinthians-1|1:27  But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world
 to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to
 confound the things which are mighty;
   Corinthians-1|1:28  And base things of the world, and things which are
 despised, hath God chosen, [yea], and things which are not, to bring to
 nought things that are:
   Corinthians-1|1:29  That no flesh should glory in his presence.

   Corinthians-1|1:30  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made
 unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
   Corinthians-1|1:31  That, according as it is written, He that glorieth,
 let him glory in the Lord.
   Corinthians-1|2:1  And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with
 excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
   Corinthians-1|2:2  For I determined not to know any thing among you, save
 Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
   Corinthians-1|2:3  And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in
 much trembling.
   Corinthians-1|2:4  And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing
 words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
   Corinthians-1|2:5  That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men,
 but in the power of God.
   Corinthians-1|2:6  Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect:
 yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that
 come to nought:
   Corinthians-1|2:7  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, [even]
 the hidden [wisdom], which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
   Corinthians-1|2:8  Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had
 they known [it], they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

   Corinthians-1|2:9  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear
 heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God
 hath prepared for them that love him.
   Corinthians-1|2:10  But God hath revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit:
 for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
   Corinthians-1|2:11  For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the
 spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man,
 but the Spirit of God.
   Corinthians-1|2:12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world,
 but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are
 freely given to us of God.
   Corinthians-1|2:13  Which things also we speak, not in the words which
 man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
 spiritual things with spiritual.
   Corinthians-1|2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the
 Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know
 [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
   Corinthians-1|2:15  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he
 himself is judged of no man.
   Corinthians-1|2:16  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may
 instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

   Corinthians-1|3:1  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto
 spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ.
   Corinthians-1|3:2  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for
 hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.
   Corinthians-1|3:3  For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among
 you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
   Corinthians-1|3:4  For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I [am]
 of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
   Corinthians-1|3:5  Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers
 by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
   Corinthians-1|3:6  I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the
 increase.
   Corinthians-1|3:7  So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither
 he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
   Corinthians-1|3:8  Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and
 every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
   Corinthians-1|3:9  For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's
 husbandry, [ye are] God's building.
   Corinthians-1|3:10  According to the grace of God which is given unto me,
 as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth
 thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.

   Corinthians-1|3:11  For other foundation can no man lay than that is
 laid, which is Jesus Christ.
   Corinthians-1|3:12  Now if any man build upon this foundation gold,
 silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
   Corinthians-1|3:13  Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day
 shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall
 try every man's work of what sort it is.
   Corinthians-1|3:14  If any man's work abide which he hath built
 thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
   Corinthians-1|3:15  If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer
 loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
   Corinthians-1|3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that]
 the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
   Corinthians-1|3:17  If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God
 destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
   Corinthians-1|3:18  Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you
 seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be
 wise.
   Corinthians-1|3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
 For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
   Corinthians-1|3:20  And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise,

 that they are vain.
   Corinthians-1|3:21  Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are
 yours;
   Corinthians-1|3:22  Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or
 life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
   Corinthians-1|3:23  And ye are Christ's; and Christ [is] God's.
   Corinthians-1|4:1  Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of
 Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
   Corinthians-1|4:2  Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be
 found faithful.
   Corinthians-1|4:3  But with me it is a very small thing that I should be
 judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
   Corinthians-1|4:4  For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby
 justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
   Corinthians-1|4:5  Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the
 Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and
 will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man
 have praise of God.
   Corinthians-1|4:6  And these things, brethren, I have in a figure
 transferred to myself and [to] Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn
 in us not to think [of men] above that which is written, that no one of you

 be puffed up for one against another.
   Corinthians-1|4:7  For who maketh thee to differ [from another]? and what
 hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive [it], why
 dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received [it]?
   Corinthians-1|4:8  Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as
 kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign
 with you.
   Corinthians-1|4:9  For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles
 last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the
 world, and to angels, and to men.
   Corinthians-1|4:10  We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but ye [are] wise
 in Christ; we [are] weak, but ye [are] strong; ye [are] honourable, but we
 [are] despised.
   Corinthians-1|4:11  Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and
 thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
   Corinthians-1|4:12  And labour, working with our own hands: being
 reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
   Corinthians-1|4:13  Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth
 of the world, [and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day.
   Corinthians-1|4:14  I write not these things to shame you, but as my
 beloved sons I warn [you].

   Corinthians-1|4:15  For though ye have ten thousand instructors in
 Christ, yet [have ye] not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten
 you through the gospel.
   Corinthians-1|4:16  Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
   Corinthians-1|4:17  For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is
 my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into
 remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every
 church.
   Corinthians-1|4:18  Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to
 you.
   Corinthians-1|4:19  But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and
 will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
   Corinthians-1|4:20  For the kingdom of God [is] not in word, but in
 power.
   Corinthians-1|4:21  What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in
 love, and [in] the spirit of meekness?
   Corinthians-1|5:1  It is reported commonly [that there is] fornication
 among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the
 Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
   Corinthians-1|5:2  And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned,
 that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

   Corinthians-1|5:3  For I verily, as absent in body, but present in
 spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, [concerning] him
 that hath so done this deed,
   Corinthians-1|5:4  In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are
 gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
   Corinthians-1|5:5  To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction
 of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
   Corinthians-1|5:6  Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little
 leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
   Corinthians-1|5:7  Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a
 new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed
 for us:
   Corinthians-1|5:8  Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven,
 neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened
 [bread] of sincerity and truth.
   Corinthians-1|5:9  I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with
 fornicators:
   Corinthians-1|5:10  Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this
 world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then
 must ye needs go out of the world.
   Corinthians-1|5:11  But now I have written unto you not to keep company,

 if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an
 idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one
 no not to eat.
   Corinthians-1|5:12  For what have I to do to judge them also that are
 without? do not ye judge them that are within?
   Corinthians-1|5:13  But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put
 away from among yourselves that wicked person.
   Corinthians-1|6:1  Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go
 to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
   Corinthians-1|6:2  Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world?
 and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the
 smallest matters?
   Corinthians-1|6:3  Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more
 things that pertain to this life?
   Corinthians-1|6:4  If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this
 life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
   Corinthians-1|6:5  I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a
 wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his
 brethren?
   Corinthians-1|6:6  But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before
 the unbelievers.

   Corinthians-1|6:7  Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you,
 because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why
 do ye not rather [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded?
   Corinthians-1|6:8  Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your]
 brethren.
   Corinthians-1|6:9  Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the
 kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
 adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
   Corinthians-1|6:10  Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
 revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
   Corinthians-1|6:11  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye
 are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by
 the Spirit of our God.
   Corinthians-1|6:12  All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not
 expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under
 the power of any.
   Corinthians-1|6:13  Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God
 shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but
 for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
   Corinthians-1|6:14  And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also
 raise up us by his own power.

   Corinthians-1|6:15  Know ye not that your bodies are the members of
 Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the
 members of an harlot? God forbid.
   Corinthians-1|6:16  What? know ye not that he which is joined to an
 harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
   Corinthians-1|6:17  But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
   Corinthians-1|6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is
 without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his
 own body.
   Corinthians-1|6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the
 Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your
 own?
   Corinthians-1|6:20  For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God
 in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
   Corinthians-1|7:1  Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me:
 [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
   Corinthians-1|7:2  Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man
 have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
   Corinthians-1|7:3  Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence:
 and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
   Corinthians-1|7:4  The wife hath not power of her own body, but the

 husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but
 the wife.
   Corinthians-1|7:5  Defraud ye not one the other, except [it be] with
 consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and
 come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
   Corinthians-1|7:6  But I speak this by permission, [and] not of
 commandment.
   Corinthians-1|7:7  For I would that all men were even as I myself. But
 every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another
 after that.
   Corinthians-1|7:8  I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is
 good for them if they abide even as I.
   Corinthians-1|7:9  But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is
 better to marry than to burn.
   Corinthians-1|7:10  And unto the married I command, [yet] not I, but the
 Lord, Let not the wife depart from [her] husband:
   Corinthians-1|7:11  But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or
 be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his]
 wife.
   Corinthians-1|7:12  But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother
 hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let

 him not put her away.
   Corinthians-1|7:13  And the woman which hath an husband that believeth
 not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
   Corinthians-1|7:14  For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the
 wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your
 children unclean; but now are they holy.
   Corinthians-1|7:15  But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A
 brother or a sister is not under bondage in such [cases]: but God hath
 called us to peace.
   Corinthians-1|7:16  For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt
 save [thy] husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save
 [thy] wife?
   Corinthians-1|7:17  But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord
 hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
   Corinthians-1|7:18  Is any man called being circumcised? let him not
 become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be
 circumcised.
   Corinthians-1|7:19  Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is
 nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
   Corinthians-1|7:20  Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he
 was called.

   Corinthians-1|7:21  Art thou called [being] a servant? care not for it:
 but if thou mayest be made free, use [it] rather.
   Corinthians-1|7:22  For he that is called in the Lord, [being] a servant,
 is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, [being] free, is
 Christ's servant.
   Corinthians-1|7:23  Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of
 men.
   Corinthians-1|7:24  Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called,
 therein abide with God.
   Corinthians-1|7:25  Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the
 Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord
 to be faithful.
   Corinthians-1|7:26  I suppose therefore that this is good for the present
 distress, [I say], that [it is] good for a man so to be.
   Corinthians-1|7:27  Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed.
 Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
   Corinthians-1|7:28  But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a
 virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in
 the flesh: but I spare you.
   Corinthians-1|7:29  But this I say, brethren, the time [is] short: it
 remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

   Corinthians-1|7:30  And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they
 that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though
 they possessed not;
   Corinthians-1|7:31  And they that use this world, as not abusing [it]:
 for the fashion of this world passeth away.
   Corinthians-1|7:32  But I would have you without carefulness. He that is
 unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please
 the Lord:
   Corinthians-1|7:33  But he that is married careth for the things that are
 of the world, how he may please [his] wife.
   Corinthians-1|7:34  There is difference [also] between a wife and a
 virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may
 be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the
 things of the world, how she may please [her] husband.
   Corinthians-1|7:35  And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may
 cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend
 upon the Lord without distraction.
   Corinthians-1|7:36  But if any man think that he behaveth himself
 uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of [her] age, and need
 so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
   Corinthians-1|7:37  Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart,

 having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed
 in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
   Corinthians-1|7:38  So then he that giveth [her] in marriage doeth well;
 but he that giveth [her] not in marriage doeth better.
   Corinthians-1|7:39  The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband
 liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom
 she will; only in the Lord.
   Corinthians-1|7:40  But she is happier if she so abide, after my
 judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
   Corinthians-1|8:1  Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know
 that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
   Corinthians-1|8:2  And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he
 knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
   Corinthians-1|8:3  But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
   Corinthians-1|8:4  As concerning therefore the eating of those things
 that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing
 in the world, and that [there is] none other God but one.
   Corinthians-1|8:5  For though there be that are called gods, whether in
 heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
   Corinthians-1|8:6  But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of whom
 [are] all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom [are]

 all things, and we by him.
   Corinthians-1|8:7  Howbeit [there is] not in every man that knowledge:
 for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat [it] as a thing
 offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
   Corinthians-1|8:8  But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we
 eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
   Corinthians-1|8:9  But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours
 become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
   Corinthians-1|8:10  For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at
 meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be
 emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
   Corinthians-1|8:11  And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother
 perish, for whom Christ died?
   Corinthians-1|8:12  But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound
 their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
   Corinthians-1|8:13  Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will
 eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
   Corinthians-1|9:1  Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen
 Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
   Corinthians-1|9:2  If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am
 to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

   Corinthians-1|9:3  Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
   Corinthians-1|9:4  Have we not power to eat and to drink?
   Corinthians-1|9:5  Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as
 well as other apostles, and [as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
   Corinthians-1|9:6  Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear
 working?
   Corinthians-1|9:7  Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who
 planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a
 flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
   Corinthians-1|9:8  Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the
 same also?
   Corinthians-1|9:9  For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not
 muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care
 for oxen?
   Corinthians-1|9:10  Or saith he [it] altogether for our sakes? For our
 sakes, no doubt, [this] is written: that he that ploweth should plow in
 hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
   Corinthians-1|9:11  If we have sown unto you spiritual things, [is it] a
 great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
   Corinthians-1|9:12  If others be partakers of [this] power over you,
 [are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer

 all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
   Corinthians-1|9:13  Do ye not know that they which minister about holy
 things live [of the things] of the temple? and they which wait at the altar
 are partakers with the altar?
   Corinthians-1|9:14  Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach
 the gospel should live of the gospel.
   Corinthians-1|9:15  But I have used none of these things: neither have I
 written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for [it were]
 better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
   Corinthians-1|9:16  For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to
 glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach
 not the gospel!
   Corinthians-1|9:17  For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward:
 but if against my will, a dispensation [of the gospel] is committed unto
 me.
   Corinthians-1|9:18  What is my reward then? [Verily] that, when I preach
 the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse
 not my power in the gospel.
   Corinthians-1|9:19  For though I be free from all [men], yet have I made
 myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
   Corinthians-1|9:20  And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might

 gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I
 might gain them that are under the law;
   Corinthians-1|9:21  To them that are without law, as without law, (being
 not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain
 them that are without law.
   Corinthians-1|9:22  To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the
 weak: I am made all things to all [men], that I might by all means save
 some.
   Corinthians-1|9:23  And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be
 partaker thereof with [you].
   Corinthians-1|9:24  Know ye not that they which run in a race run all,
 but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
   Corinthians-1|9:25  And every man that striveth for the mastery is
 temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown;
 but we an incorruptible.
   Corinthians-1|9:26  I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I,
 not as one that beateth the air:
   Corinthians-1|9:27  But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into
 subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I
 myself should be a castaway.
   Corinthians-1|10:1  Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be

 ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed
 through the sea;
   Corinthians-1|10:2  And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in
 the sea;
   Corinthians-1|10:3  And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
   Corinthians-1|10:4  And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they
 drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
   Corinthians-1|10:5  But with many of them God was not well pleased: for
 they were overthrown in the wilderness.
   Corinthians-1|10:6  Now these things were our examples, to the intent we
 should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
   Corinthians-1|10:7  Neither be ye idolaters, as [were] some of them; as
 it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
   Corinthians-1|10:8  Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them
 committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
   Corinthians-1|10:9  Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also
 tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
   Corinthians-1|10:10  Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured,
 and were destroyed of the destroyer.
   Corinthians-1|10:11  Now all these things happened unto them for
 ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of

 the world are come.
   Corinthians-1|10:12  Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take
 heed lest he fall.
   Corinthians-1|10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is
 common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted
 above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to
 escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].
   Corinthians-1|10:14  Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
   Corinthians-1|10:15  I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
   Corinthians-1|10:16  The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the
 communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the
 communion of the body of Christ?
   Corinthians-1|10:17  For we [being] many are one bread, [and] one body:
 for we are all partakers of that one bread.
   Corinthians-1|10:18  Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which
 eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
   Corinthians-1|10:19  What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that
 which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
   Corinthians-1|10:20  But I [say], that the things which the Gentiles
 sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that
 ye should have fellowship with devils.

   Corinthians-1|10:21  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of
 devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of
 devils.
   Corinthians-1|10:22  Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger
 than he?
   Corinthians-1|10:23  All things are lawful for me, but all things are not
 expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
   Corinthians-1|10:24  Let no man seek his own, but every man another's
 [wealth].
   Corinthians-1|10:25  Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, [that] eat,
 asking no question for conscience sake:
   Corinthians-1|10:26  For the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness
 thereof.
   Corinthians-1|10:27  If any of them that believe not bid you [to a
 feast], and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking
 no question for conscience sake.
   Corinthians-1|10:28  But if any man say unto you, This is offered in
 sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that showed it, and for
 conscience sake: for the earth [is] the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
   Corinthians-1|10:29  Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other:
 for why is my liberty judged of another [man's] conscience?

   Corinthians-1|10:30  For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil
 spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
   Corinthians-1|10:31  Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye
 do, do all to the glory of God.
   Corinthians-1|10:32  Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the
 Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
   Corinthians-1|10:33  Even as I please all [men] in all [things], not
 seeking mine own profit, but the [profit] of many, that they may be saved.
   Corinthians-1|11:1  Be ye followers of me, even as I also [am] of Christ.
   Corinthians-1|11:2  Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in
 all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered [them] to you.
   Corinthians-1|11:3  But I would have you know, that the head of every man
 is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and the head of Christ
 [is] God.
   Corinthians-1|11:4  Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head
 covered, dishonoureth his head.
   Corinthians-1|11:5  But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with
 [her] head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if
 she were shaven.
   Corinthians-1|11:6  For if the woman be not covered, let her also be
 shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be

 covered.
   Corinthians-1|11:7  For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head,
 forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory
 of the man.
   Corinthians-1|11:8  For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the
 man.
   Corinthians-1|11:9  Neither was the man created for the woman; but the
 woman for the man.
   Corinthians-1|11:10  For this cause ought the woman to have power on
 [her] head because of the angels.
   Corinthians-1|11:11  Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman,
 neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
   Corinthians-1|11:12  For as the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the
 man also by the woman; but all things of God.
   Corinthians-1|11:13  Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray
 unto God uncovered?
   Corinthians-1|11:14  Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a
 man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
   Corinthians-1|11:15  But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her:
 for [her] hair is given her for a covering.
   Corinthians-1|11:16  But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no

 such custom, neither the churches of God.
   Corinthians-1|11:17  Now in this that I declare [unto you] I praise [you]
 not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
   Corinthians-1|11:18  For first of all, when ye come together in the
 church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
   Corinthians-1|11:19  For there must be also heresies among you, that they
 which are approved may be made manifest among you.
   Corinthians-1|11:20  When ye come together therefore into one place,
 [this] is not to eat the Lord's supper.
   Corinthians-1|11:21  For in eating every one taketh before [other] his
 own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
   Corinthians-1|11:22  What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or
 despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I
 say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise [you] not.
   Corinthians-1|11:23  For I have received of the Lord that which also I
 delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the [same] night in which he was
 betrayed took bread:
   Corinthians-1|11:24  And when he had given thanks, he brake [it], and
 said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in
 remembrance of me.
   Corinthians-1|11:25  After the same manner also [he took] the cup, when

 he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do
 ye, as oft as ye drink [it], in remembrance of me.
   Corinthians-1|11:26  For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this
 cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.
   Corinthians-1|11:27  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink
 [this] cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood
 of the Lord.
   Corinthians-1|11:28  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of
 [that] bread, and drink of [that] cup.
   Corinthians-1|11:29  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth
 and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
   Corinthians-1|11:30  For this cause many [are] weak and sickly among you,
 and many sleep.
   Corinthians-1|11:31  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be
 judged.
   Corinthians-1|11:32  But when we are judged, we are chastened of the
 Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
   Corinthians-1|11:33  Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to
 eat, tarry one for another.
   Corinthians-1|11:34  And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye
 come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when

 I come.
   Corinthians-1|12:1  Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would
 not have you ignorant.
   Corinthians-1|12:2  Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto
 these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
   Corinthians-1|12:3  Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man
 speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can
 say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
   Corinthians-1|12:4  Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same
 Spirit.
   Corinthians-1|12:5  And there are differences of administrations, but the
 same Lord.
   Corinthians-1|12:6  And there are diversities of operations, but it is
 the same God which worketh all in all.
   Corinthians-1|12:7  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every
 man to profit withal.
   Corinthians-1|12:8  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom;
 to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
   Corinthians-1|12:9  To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the
 gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
   Corinthians-1|12:10  To another the working of miracles; to another

 prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of
 tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
   Corinthians-1|12:11  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame
 Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
   Corinthians-1|12:12  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and
 all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is]
 Christ.
   Corinthians-1|12:13  For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body,
 whether [we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether [we be] bond or free; and have
 been all made to drink into one Spirit.
   Corinthians-1|12:14  For the body is not one member, but many.
   Corinthians-1|12:15  If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I
 am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
   Corinthians-1|12:16  And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye,
 I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
   Corinthians-1|12:17  If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the
 hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?
   Corinthians-1|12:18  But now hath God set the members every one of them
 in the body, as it hath pleased him.
   Corinthians-1|12:19  And if they were all one member, where [were] the
 body?

   Corinthians-1|12:20  But now [are they] many members, yet but one body.
   Corinthians-1|12:21  And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need
 of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
   Corinthians-1|12:22  Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem
 to be more feeble, are necessary:
   Corinthians-1|12:23  And those [members] of the body, which we think to
 be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our
 uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness.
   Corinthians-1|12:24  For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath
 tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that
 [part] which lacked:
   Corinthians-1|12:25  That there should be no schism in the body; but
 [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
   Corinthians-1|12:26  And whether one member suffer, all the members
 suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
   Corinthians-1|12:27  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in
 particular.
   Corinthians-1|12:28  And God hath set some in the church, first apostles,
 secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of
 healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
   Corinthians-1|12:29  [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all

 teachers? [are] all workers of miracles?
   Corinthians-1|12:30  Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with
 tongues? do all interpret?
   Corinthians-1|12:31  But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I
 unto you a more excellent way.
   Corinthians-1|13:1  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
 and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling
 cymbal.
   Corinthians-1|13:2  And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and
 understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith,
 so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
   Corinthians-1|13:3  And though I bestow all my goods to feed [the poor],
 and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth
 me nothing.
   Corinthians-1|13:4  Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity
 envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
   Corinthians-1|13:5  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,
 is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
   Corinthians-1|13:6  Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the
 truth;
   Corinthians-1|13:7  Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all

 things, endureth all things.
   Corinthians-1|13:8  Charity never faileth: but whether [there be]
 prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease;
 whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away.
   Corinthians-1|13:9  For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
   Corinthians-1|13:10  But when that which is perfect is come, then that
 which is in part shall be done away.
   Corinthians-1|13:11  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood
 as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away
 childish things.
   Corinthians-1|13:12  For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then
 face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am
 known.
   Corinthians-1|13:13  And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three;
 but the greatest of these [is] charity.
   Corinthians-1|14:1  Follow after charity, and desire spiritual [gifts],
 but rather that ye may prophesy.
   Corinthians-1|14:2  For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh
 not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the
 spirit he speaketh mysteries.
   Corinthians-1|14:3  But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men [to]

 edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
   Corinthians-1|14:4  He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth
 himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
   Corinthians-1|14:5  I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather
 that ye prophesied: for greater [is] he that prophesieth than he that
 speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive
 edifying.
   Corinthians-1|14:6  Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with
 tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by
 revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
   Corinthians-1|14:7  And even things without life giving sound, whether
 pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be
 known what is piped or harped?
   Corinthians-1|14:8  For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall
 prepare himself to the battle?
   Corinthians-1|14:9  So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words
 easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall
 speak into the air.
   Corinthians-1|14:10  There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the
 world, and none of them [is] without signification.
   Corinthians-1|14:11  Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I

 shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh [shall
 be] a barbarian unto me.
   Corinthians-1|14:12  Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual
 [gifts], seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
   Corinthians-1|14:13  Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown]
 tongue pray that he may interpret.
   Corinthians-1|14:14  For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit
 prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
   Corinthians-1|14:15  What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I
 will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I
 will sing with the understanding also.
   Corinthians-1|14:16  Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how
 shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of
 thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
   Corinthians-1|14:17  For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is
 not edified.
   Corinthians-1|14:18  I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye
 all:
   Corinthians-1|14:19  Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with
 my understanding, that [by my voice] I might teach others also, than ten
 thousand words in an [unknown] tongue.

   Corinthians-1|14:20  Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit
 in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
   Corinthians-1|14:21  In the law it is written, With [men of] other
 tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that
 will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
   Corinthians-1|14:22  Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that
 believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying [serveth] not for
 them that believe not, but for them which believe.
   Corinthians-1|14:23  If therefore the whole church be come together into
 one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in [those that are]
 unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
   Corinthians-1|14:24  But if all prophesy, and there come in one that
 believeth not, or [one] unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of
 all:
   Corinthians-1|14:25  And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest;
 and so falling down on [his] face he will worship God, and report that God
 is in you of a truth.
   Corinthians-1|14:26  How is it then, brethren? when ye come together,
 every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a
 revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
   Corinthians-1|14:27  If any man speak in an [unknown] tongue, [let it be]

 by two, or at the most [by] three, and [that] by course; and let one
 interpret.
   Corinthians-1|14:28  But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence
 in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
   Corinthians-1|14:29  Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the
 other judge.
   Corinthians-1|14:30  If [any thing] be revealed to another that sitteth
 by, let the first hold his peace.
   Corinthians-1|14:31  For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may
 learn, and all may be comforted.
   Corinthians-1|14:32  And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the
 prophets.
   Corinthians-1|14:33  For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of
 peace, as in all churches of the saints.
   Corinthians-1|14:34  Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it
 is not permitted unto them to speak; but [they are commanded] to be under
 obedience, as also saith the law.
   Corinthians-1|14:35  And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their
 husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
   Corinthians-1|14:36  What? came the word of God out from you? or came it
 unto you only?

   Corinthians-1|14:37  If any man think himself to be a prophet, or
 spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are
 the commandments of the Lord.
   Corinthians-1|14:38  But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
   Corinthians-1|14:39  Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid
 not to speak with tongues.
   Corinthians-1|14:40  Let all things be done decently and in order.
   Corinthians-1|15:1  Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
 which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye
 stand;
   Corinthians-1|15:2  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what
 I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
   Corinthians-1|15:3  For I delivered unto you first of all that which I
 also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
 scriptures;
   Corinthians-1|15:4  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
 third day according to the scriptures:
   Corinthians-1|15:5  And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
   Corinthians-1|15:6  After that, he was seen of above five hundred
 brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but
 some are fallen asleep.

   Corinthians-1|15:7  After that, he was seen of James; then of all the
 apostles.
   Corinthians-1|15:8  And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one
 born out of due time.
   Corinthians-1|15:9  For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet
 to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
   Corinthians-1|15:10  But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his
 grace which [was bestowed] upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more
 abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with
 me.
   Corinthians-1|15:11  Therefore whether [it were] I or they, so we preach,
 and so ye believed.
   Corinthians-1|15:12  Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the
 dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
   Corinthians-1|15:13  But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is
 Christ not risen:
   Corinthians-1|15:14  And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching
 vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
   Corinthians-1|15:15  Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God;
 because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised
 not up, if so be that the dead rise not.

   Corinthians-1|15:16  For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
   Corinthians-1|15:17  And if Christ be not raised, your faith [is] vain;
 ye are yet in your sins.
   Corinthians-1|15:18  Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are
 perished.
   Corinthians-1|15:19  If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are
 of all men most miserable.
   Corinthians-1|15:20  But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become
 the firstfruits of them that slept.
   Corinthians-1|15:21  For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also
 the resurrection of the dead.
   Corinthians-1|15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all
 be made alive.
   Corinthians-1|15:23  But every man in his own order: Christ the
 firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
   Corinthians-1|15:24  Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered
 up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all
 rule and all authority and power.
   Corinthians-1|15:25  For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies
 under his feet.
   Corinthians-1|15:26  The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.

   Corinthians-1|15:27  For he hath put all things under his feet. But when
 he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he is
 excepted, which did put all things under him.
   Corinthians-1|15:28  And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then
 shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under
 him, that God may be all in all.
   Corinthians-1|15:29  Else what shall they do which are baptized for the
 dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
   Corinthians-1|15:30  And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
   Corinthians-1|15:31  I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ
 Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
   Corinthians-1|15:32  If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts
 at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and
 drink; for to morrow we die.
   Corinthians-1|15:33  Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good
 manners.
   Corinthians-1|15:34  Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have
 not the knowledge of God: I speak [this] to your shame.
   Corinthians-1|15:35  But some [man] will say, How are the dead raised up?
 and with what body do they come?
   Corinthians-1|15:36  [Thou] fool, that which thou sowest is not

 quickened, except it die:
   Corinthians-1|15:37  And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that
 body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some
 other [grain]:
   Corinthians-1|15:38  But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and
 to every seed his own body.
   Corinthians-1|15:39  All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is]
 one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes,
 [and] another of birds.
   Corinthians-1|15:40  [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies
 terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of
 the terrestrial [is] another.
   Corinthians-1|15:41  [There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory
 of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for [one] star differeth from
 [another] star in glory.
   Corinthians-1|15:42  So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is
 sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
   Corinthians-1|15:43  It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it
 is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
   Corinthians-1|15:44  It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual
 body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

   Corinthians-1|15:45  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a
 living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
   Corinthians-1|15:46  Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but
 that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
   Corinthians-1|15:47  The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second
 man [is] the Lord from heaven.
   Corinthians-1|15:48  As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are
 earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
   Corinthians-1|15:49  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we
 shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
   Corinthians-1|15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
 cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit
 incorruption.
   Corinthians-1|15:51  Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all
 sleep, but we shall all be changed,
   Corinthians-1|15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
 trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
 incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
   Corinthians-1|15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and
 this mortal [must] put on immortality.
   Corinthians-1|15:54  So when this corruptible shall have put on

 incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be
 brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in
 victory.
   Corinthians-1|15:55  O death, where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is]
 thy victory?
   Corinthians-1|15:56  The sting of death [is] sin; and the strength of sin
 [is] the law.
   Corinthians-1|15:57  But thanks [be] to God, which giveth us the victory
 through our Lord Jesus Christ.
   Corinthians-1|15:58  Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast,
 unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know
 that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
   Corinthians-1|16:1  Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I
 have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
   Corinthians-1|16:2  Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you
 lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no
 gatherings when I come.
   Corinthians-1|16:3  And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by
 [your] letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
   Corinthians-1|16:4  And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with
 me.

   Corinthians-1|16:5  Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through
 Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
   Corinthians-1|16:6  And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with
 you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
   Corinthians-1|16:7  For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to
 tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
   Corinthians-1|16:8  But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
   Corinthians-1|16:9  For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and
 [there are] many adversaries.
   Corinthians-1|16:10  Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you
 without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also [do].
   Corinthians-1|16:11  Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him
 forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the
 brethren.
   Corinthians-1|16:12  As touching [our] brother Apollos, I greatly desired
 him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come
 at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
   Corinthians-1|16:13  Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like
 men, be strong.
   Corinthians-1|16:14  Let all your things be done with charity.
   Corinthians-1|16:15  I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of

 Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they have
 addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
   Corinthians-1|16:16  That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every
 one that helpeth with [us], and laboureth.
   Corinthians-1|16:17  I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus
 and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
   Corinthians-1|16:18  For they have refreshed my spirit and yours:
 therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
   Corinthians-1|16:19  The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and
 Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their
 house.
   Corinthians-1|16:20  All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another
 with an holy kiss.
   Corinthians-1|16:21  The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand.
   Corinthians-1|16:22  If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him
 be Anathema Maranatha.
   Corinthians-1|16:23  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
   Corinthians-1|16:24  My love [be] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
   Corinthians-2|1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
 and Timothy [our] brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with
 all the saints which are in all Achaia:

   Corinthians-2|1:2  Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and
 [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
   Corinthians-2|1:3  Blessed [be] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus
 Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
   Corinthians-2|1:4  Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may
 be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith
 we ourselves are comforted of God.
   Corinthians-2|1:5  For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
 consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
   Corinthians-2|1:6  And whether we be afflicted, [it is] for your
 consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same
 sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, [it is] for
 your consolation and salvation.
   Corinthians-2|1:7  And our hope of you [is] stedfast, knowing, that as ye
 are partakers of the sufferings, so [shall ye be] also of the consolation.
   Corinthians-2|1:8  For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our
 trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure,
 above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
   Corinthians-2|1:9  But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we
 should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
   Corinthians-2|1:10  Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth

 deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver [us];
   Corinthians-2|1:11  Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for
 the gift [bestowed] upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be
 given by many on our behalf.
   Corinthians-2|1:12  For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our
 conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly
 wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world,
 and more abundantly to you-ward.
   Corinthians-2|1:13  For we write none other things unto you, than what ye
 read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
   Corinthians-2|1:14  As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are
 your rejoicing, even as ye also [are] ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
   Corinthians-2|1:15  And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you
 before, that ye might have a second benefit;
   Corinthians-2|1:16  And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again
 out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward
 Judaea.
   Corinthians-2|1:17  When I therefore was thus minded, did I use
 lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the
 flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
   Corinthians-2|1:18  But [as] God [is] true, our word toward you was not

 yea and nay.
   Corinthians-2|1:19  For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached
 among you by us, [even] by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and
 nay, but in him was yea.
   Corinthians-2|1:20  For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in
 him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
   Corinthians-2|1:21  Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and
 hath anointed us, [is] God;
   Corinthians-2|1:22  Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the
 Spirit in our hearts.
   Corinthians-2|1:23  Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that
 to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
   Corinthians-2|1:24  Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but
 are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
   Corinthians-2|2:1  But I determined this with myself, that I would not
 come again to you in heaviness.
   Corinthians-2|2:2  For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me
 glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
   Corinthians-2|2:3  And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I
 should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence
 in you all, that my joy is [the joy] of you all.

   Corinthians-2|2:4  For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I
 wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye
 might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
   Corinthians-2|2:5  But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me,
 but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
   Corinthians-2|2:6  Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment, which
 [was inflicted] of many.
   Corinthians-2|2:7  So that contrariwise ye [ought] rather to forgive
 [him], and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up
 with overmuch sorrow.
   Corinthians-2|2:8  Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm [your]
 love toward him.
   Corinthians-2|2:9  For to this end also did I write, that I might know
 the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
   Corinthians-2|2:10  To whom ye forgive any thing, I [forgive] also: for
 if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave [it], for your sakes [forgave I
 it] in the person of Christ;
   Corinthians-2|2:11  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are
 not ignorant of his devices.
   Corinthians-2|2:12  Furthermore, when I came to Troas to [preach]
 Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

   Corinthians-2|2:13  I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus
 my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
   Corinthians-2|2:14  Now thanks [be] unto God, which always causeth us to
 triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in
 every place.
   Corinthians-2|2:15  For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them
 that are saved, and in them that perish:
   Corinthians-2|2:16  To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death;
 and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for
 these things?
   Corinthians-2|2:17  For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of
 God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in
 Christ.
   Corinthians-2|3:1  Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as
 some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of
 commendation from you?
   Corinthians-2|3:2  Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and
 read of all men:
   Corinthians-2|3:3  [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the
 epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the
 Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of

 the heart.
   Corinthians-2|3:4  And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
   Corinthians-2|3:5  Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any
 thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency [is] of God;
   Corinthians-2|3:6  Who also hath made us able ministers of the new
 testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth,
 but the spirit giveth life.
   Corinthians-2|3:7  But if the ministration of death, written [and]
 engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not
 stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which
 [glory] was to be done away:
   Corinthians-2|3:8  How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather
 glorious?
   Corinthians-2|3:9  For if the ministration of condemnation [be] glory,
 much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
   Corinthians-2|3:10  For even that which was made glorious had no glory in
 this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
   Corinthians-2|3:11  For if that which is done away [was] glorious, much
 more that which remaineth [is] glorious.
   Corinthians-2|3:12  Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great
 plainness of speech:

   Corinthians-2|3:13  And not as Moses, [which] put a veil over his face,
 that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that
 which is abolished:
   Corinthians-2|3:14  But their minds were blinded: for until this day
 remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament;
 which [veil] is done away in Christ.
   Corinthians-2|3:15  But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil
 is upon their heart.
   Corinthians-2|3:16  Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil
 shall be taken away.
   Corinthians-2|3:17  Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of
 the Lord [is], there [is] liberty.
   Corinthians-2|3:18  But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass
 the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
 [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
   Corinthians-2|4:1  Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have
 received mercy, we faint not;
   Corinthians-2|4:2  But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty,
 not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by
 manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience
 in the sight of God.

   Corinthians-2|4:3  But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are
 lost:
   Corinthians-2|4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds
 of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,
 who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
   Corinthians-2|4:5  For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the
 Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
   Corinthians-2|4:6  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of
 darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge
 of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
   Corinthians-2|4:7  But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
 excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
   Corinthians-2|4:8  [We are] troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
 [we are] perplexed, but not in despair;
   Corinthians-2|4:9  Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not
 destroyed;
   Corinthians-2|4:10  Always bearing about in the body the dying of the
 Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
   Corinthians-2|4:11  For we which live are alway delivered unto death for
 Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our
 mortal flesh.

   Corinthians-2|4:12  So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
   Corinthians-2|4:13  We having the same spirit of faith, according as it
 is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and
 therefore speak;
   Corinthians-2|4:14  Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall
 raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present [us] with you.
   Corinthians-2|4:15  For all things [are] for your sakes, that the
 abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory
 of God.
   Corinthians-2|4:16  For which cause we faint not; but though our outward
 man perish, yet the inward [man] is renewed day by day.
   Corinthians-2|4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment,
 worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory;
   Corinthians-2|4:18  While we look not at the things which are seen, but
 at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are]
 temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.
   Corinthians-2|5:1  For we know that if our earthly house of [this]
 tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made
 with hands, eternal in the heavens.
   Corinthians-2|5:2  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed
 upon with our house which is from heaven:

   Corinthians-2|5:3  If so be that being clothed we shall not be found
 naked.
   Corinthians-2|5:4  For we that are in [this] tabernacle do groan, being
 burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that
 mortality might be swallowed up of life.
   Corinthians-2|5:5  Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing
 [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
   Corinthians-2|5:6  Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that,
 whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
   Corinthians-2|5:7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
   Corinthians-2|5:8  We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be
 absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
   Corinthians-2|5:9  Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent,
 we may be accepted of him.
   Corinthians-2|5:10  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of
 Christ; that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body,
 according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.
   Corinthians-2|5:11  Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade
 men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest
 in your consciences.
   Corinthians-2|5:12  For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give

 you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to [answer]
 them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
   Corinthians-2|5:13  For whether we be beside ourselves, [it is] to God:
 or whether we be sober, [it is] for your cause.
   Corinthians-2|5:14  For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we
 thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
   Corinthians-2|5:15  And [that] he died for all, that they which live
 should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for
 them, and rose again.
   Corinthians-2|5:16  Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh:
 yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know
 we [him] no more.
   Corinthians-2|5:17  Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new
 creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
   Corinthians-2|5:18  And all things [are] of God, who hath reconciled us
 to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
 reconciliation;
   Corinthians-2|5:19  To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world
 unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed
 unto us the word of reconciliation.
   Corinthians-2|5:20  Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God

 did beseech [you] by us: we pray [you] in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled
 to God.
   Corinthians-2|5:21  For he hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no
 sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
   Corinthians-2|6:1  We then, [as] workers together [with him], beseech
 [you] also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
   Corinthians-2|6:2  (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted,
 and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the
 accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)
   Corinthians-2|6:3  Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be
 not blamed:
   Corinthians-2|6:4  But in all [things] approving ourselves as the
 ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in
 distresses,
   Corinthians-2|6:5  In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours,
 in watchings, in fastings;
   Corinthians-2|6:6  By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by
 kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
   Corinthians-2|6:7  By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the
 armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
   Corinthians-2|6:8  By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good

 report: as deceivers, and [yet] true;
   Corinthians-2|6:9  As unknown, and [yet] well known; as dying, and,
 behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
   Corinthians-2|6:10  As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet
 making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.
   Corinthians-2|6:11  O [ye] Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our
 heart is enlarged.
   Corinthians-2|6:12  Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in
 your own bowels.
   Corinthians-2|6:13  Now for a recompense in the same, (I speak as unto
 [my] children,) be ye also enlarged.
   Corinthians-2|6:14  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
 for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
 communion hath light with darkness?
   Corinthians-2|6:15  And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what
 part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
   Corinthians-2|6:16  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
 for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in
 them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
 people.
   Corinthians-2|6:17  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye

 separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean [thing]; and I will
 receive you,
   Corinthians-2|6:18  And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my
 sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
   Corinthians-2|7:1  Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let
 us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
 perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
   Corinthians-2|7:2  Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted
 no man, we have defrauded no man.
   Corinthians-2|7:3  I speak not [this] to condemn [you]: for I have said
 before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with [you].
   Corinthians-2|7:4  Great [is] my boldness of speech toward you, great
 [is] my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in
 all our tribulation.
   Corinthians-2|7:5  For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had
 no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without [were] fightings,
 within [were] fears.
   Corinthians-2|7:6  Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast
 down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
   Corinthians-2|7:7  And not by his coming only, but by the consolation
 wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire,

 your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
   Corinthians-2|7:8  For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not
 repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made
 you sorry, though [it were] but for a season.
   Corinthians-2|7:9  Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that
 ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner,
 that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
   Corinthians-2|7:10  For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not
 to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
   Corinthians-2|7:11  For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed
 after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, [what]
 clearing of yourselves, yea, [what] indignation, yea, [what] fear, yea,
 [what] vehement desire, yea, [what] zeal, yea, [what] revenge! In all
 [things] ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
   Corinthians-2|7:12  Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, [I did it] not
 for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered
 wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
   Corinthians-2|7:13  Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and
 exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was
 refreshed by you all.
   Corinthians-2|7:14  For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am

 not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our
 boasting, which [I made] before Titus, is found a truth.
   Corinthians-2|7:15  And his inward affection is more abundant toward you,
 whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling
 ye received him.
   Corinthians-2|7:16  I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in
 all [things].
   Corinthians-2|8:1  Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of
 God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
   Corinthians-2|8:2  How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance
 of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their
 liberality.
   Corinthians-2|8:3  For to [their] power, I bear record, yea, and beyond
 [their] power [they were] willing of themselves;
   Corinthians-2|8:4  Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive
 the gift, and [take upon us] the fellowship of the ministering to the
 saints.
   Corinthians-2|8:5  And [this they did], not as we hoped, but first gave
 their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
   Corinthians-2|8:6  Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun,
 so he would also finish in you the same grace also.

   Corinthians-2|8:7  Therefore, as ye abound in every [thing, in] faith,
 and utterance, and knowledge, and [in] all diligence, and [in] your love to
 us, [see] that ye abound in this grace also.
   Corinthians-2|8:8  I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the
 forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
   Corinthians-2|8:9  For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
 though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his
 poverty might be rich.
   Corinthians-2|8:10  And herein I give [my] advice: for this is expedient
 for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a
 year ago.
   Corinthians-2|8:11  Now therefore perform the doing [of it]; that as
 [there was] a readiness to will, so [there may be] a performance also out
 of that which ye have.
   Corinthians-2|8:12  For if there be first a willing mind, [it is]
 accepted according to that a man hath, [and] not according to that he hath
 not.
   Corinthians-2|8:13  For [I mean] not that other men be eased, and ye
 burdened:
   Corinthians-2|8:14  But by an equality, [that] now at this time your
 abundance [may be a supply] for their want, that their abundance also may

 be [a supply] for your want: that there may be equality:
   Corinthians-2|8:15  As it is written, He that [had gathered] much had
 nothing over; and he that [had gathered] little had no lack.
   Corinthians-2|8:16  But thanks [be] to God, which put the same earnest
 care into the heart of Titus for you.
   Corinthians-2|8:17  For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being
 more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
   Corinthians-2|8:18  And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise
 [is] in the gospel throughout all the churches;
   Corinthians-2|8:19  And not [that] only, but who was also chosen of the
 churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to
 the glory of the same Lord, and [declaration of] your ready mind:
   Corinthians-2|8:20  Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this
 abundance which is administered by us:
   Corinthians-2|8:21  Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of
 the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
   Corinthians-2|8:22  And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have
 oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon
 the great confidence which [I have] in you.
   Corinthians-2|8:23  Whether [any do inquire] of Titus, [he is] my partner
 and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren [be inquired of, they are]

 the messengers of the churches, [and] the glory of Christ.
   Corinthians-2|8:24  Wherefore show ye to them, and before the churches,
 the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
   Corinthians-2|9:1  For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is
 superfluous for me to write to you:
   Corinthians-2|9:2  For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I
 boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and
 your zeal hath provoked very many.
   Corinthians-2|9:3  Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you
 should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
   Corinthians-2|9:4  Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find
 you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same
 confident boasting.
   Corinthians-2|9:5  Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the
 brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up before hand your
 bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as [a
 matter of] bounty, and not as [of] covetousness.
   Corinthians-2|9:6  But this [I say], He which soweth sparingly shall reap
 also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also
 bountifully.
   Corinthians-2|9:7  Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, [so

 let him give]; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful
 giver.
   Corinthians-2|9:8  And God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you;
 that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every
 good work:
   Corinthians-2|9:9  (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath
 given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
   Corinthians-2|9:10  Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both
 minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase
 the fruits of your righteousness;)
   Corinthians-2|9:11  Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness,
 which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
   Corinthians-2|9:12  For the administration of this service not only
 supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many
 thanksgivings unto God;
   Corinthians-2|9:13  Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they
 glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and
 for [your] liberal distribution unto them, and unto all [men];
   Corinthians-2|9:14  And by their prayer for you, which long after you for
 the exceeding grace of God in you.
   Corinthians-2|9:15  Thanks [be] unto God for his unspeakable gift.

   Corinthians-2|10:1  Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and
 gentleness of Christ, who in presence [am] base among you, but being absent
 am bold toward you:
   Corinthians-2|10:2  But I beseech [you], that I may not be bold when I am
 present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some,
 which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
   Corinthians-2|10:3  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after
 the flesh:
   Corinthians-2|10:4  (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but
 mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
   Corinthians-2|10:5  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that
 exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
 every thought to the obedience of Christ;
   Corinthians-2|10:6  And having in a readiness to revenge all
 disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
   Corinthians-2|10:7  Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If
 any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this
 again, that, as he [is] Christ's, even so [are] we Christ's.
   Corinthians-2|10:8  For though I should boast somewhat more of our
 authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your
 destruction, I should not be ashamed:

   Corinthians-2|10:9  That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by
 letters.
   Corinthians-2|10:10  For [his] letters, say they, [are] weighty and
 powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is] weak, and [his] speech
 contemptible.
   Corinthians-2|10:11  Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in
 word by letters when we are absent, such [will we be] also in deed when we
 are present.
   Corinthians-2|10:12  For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or
 compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring
 themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are
 not wise.
   Corinthians-2|10:13  But we will not boast of things without [our]
 measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath
 distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
   Corinthians-2|10:14  For we stretch not ourselves beyond [our measure],
 as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in
 [preaching] the gospel of Christ:
   Corinthians-2|10:15  Not boasting of things without [our] measure, [that
 is], of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased,
 that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

   Corinthians-2|10:16  To preach the gospel in the [regions] beyond you,
 [and] not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
   Corinthians-2|10:17  But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
   Corinthians-2|10:18  For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but
 whom the Lord commendeth.
   Corinthians-2|11:1  Would to God ye could bear with me a little in [my]
 folly: and indeed bear with me.
   Corinthians-2|11:2  For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I
 have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste
 virgin to Christ.
   Corinthians-2|11:3  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
 beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from
 the simplicity that is in Christ.
   Corinthians-2|11:4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom
 we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not
 received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear
 with [him].
   Corinthians-2|11:5  For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very
 chiefest apostles.
   Corinthians-2|11:6  But though [I be] rude in speech, yet not in
 knowledge; but we have been thoroughly made manifest among you in all

 things.
   Corinthians-2|11:7  Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye
 might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
   Corinthians-2|11:8  I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them], to
 do you service.
   Corinthians-2|11:9  And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was
 chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which
 came from Macedonia supplied: and in all [things] I have kept myself from
 being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].
   Corinthians-2|11:10  As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop
 me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
   Corinthians-2|11:11  Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
   Corinthians-2|11:12  But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off
 occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may
 be found even as we.
   Corinthians-2|11:13  For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers,
 transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
   Corinthians-2|11:14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into
 an angel of light.
   Corinthians-2|11:15  Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers
 also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be

 according to their works.
   Corinthians-2|11:16  I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if
 otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
   Corinthians-2|11:17  That which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord,
 but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
   Corinthians-2|11:18  Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory
 also.
   Corinthians-2|11:19  For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves]
 are wise.
   Corinthians-2|11:20  For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a
 man devour [you], if a man take [of you], if a man exalt himself, if a man
 smite you on the face.
   Corinthians-2|11:21  I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had
 been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am
 bold also.
   Corinthians-2|11:22  Are they Hebrews? so [am] I. Are they Israelites? so
 [am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so [am] I.
   Corinthians-2|11:23  Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I
 [am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons
 more frequent, in deaths oft.
   Corinthians-2|11:24  Of the Jews five times received I forty [stripes]

 save one.
   Corinthians-2|11:25  Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned,
 thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
   Corinthians-2|11:26  [In] journeyings often, [in] perils of waters, [in]
 perils of robbers, [in] perils by [mine own] countrymen, [in] perils by the
 heathen, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in]
 perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren;
   Corinthians-2|11:27  In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in
 hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
   Corinthians-2|11:28  Beside those things that are without, that which
 cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
   Corinthians-2|11:29  Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and
 I burn not?
   Corinthians-2|11:30  If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things
 which concern mine infirmities.
   Corinthians-2|11:31  The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which
 is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
   Corinthians-2|11:32  In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept
 the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
   Corinthians-2|11:33  And through a window in a basket was I let down by
 the wall, and escaped his hands.

   Corinthians-2|12:1  It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will
 come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
   Corinthians-2|12:2  I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago,
 (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot
 tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
   Corinthians-2|12:3  And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out
 of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
   Corinthians-2|12:4  How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard
 unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
   Corinthians-2|12:5  Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not
 glory, but in mine infirmities.
   Corinthians-2|12:6  For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a
 fool; for I will say the truth: but [now] I forbear, lest any man should
 think of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or [that] he heareth of
 me.
   Corinthians-2|12:7  And lest I should be exalted above measure through
 the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the
 flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above
 measure.
   Corinthians-2|12:8  For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it
 might depart from me.

   Corinthians-2|12:9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:
 for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I
 rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
   Corinthians-2|12:10  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
 reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's
 sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
   Corinthians-2|12:11  I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled
 me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind
 the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
   Corinthians-2|12:12  Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you
 in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
   Corinthians-2|12:13  For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other
 churches, except [it be] that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive
 me this wrong.
   Corinthians-2|12:14  Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you;
 and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the
 children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the
 children.
   Corinthians-2|12:15  And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you;
 though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
   Corinthians-2|12:16  But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless,

 being crafty, I caught you with guile.
   Corinthians-2|12:17  Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent
 unto you?
   Corinthians-2|12:18  I desired Titus, and with [him] I sent a brother.
 Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? [walked we]
 not in the same steps?
   Corinthians-2|12:19  Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you?
 we speak before God in Christ: but [we do] all things, dearly beloved, for
 your edifying.
   Corinthians-2|12:20  For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you
 such as I would, and [that] I shall be found unto you such as ye would not:
 lest [there be] debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings,
 whisperings, swellings, tumults:
   Corinthians-2|12:21  [And] lest, when I come again, my God will humble me
 among you, and [that] I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and
 have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness
 which they have committed.
   Corinthians-2|13:1  This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the
 mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
   Corinthians-2|13:2  I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were
 present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which

 heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not
 spare:
   Corinthians-2|13:3  Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which
 to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
   Corinthians-2|13:4  For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he
 liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live
 with him by the power of God toward you.
   Corinthians-2|13:5  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove
 your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in
 you, except ye be reprobates?
   Corinthians-2|13:6  But I trust that ye shall know that we are not
 reprobates.
   Corinthians-2|13:7  Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we
 should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though
 we be as reprobates.
   Corinthians-2|13:8  For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the
 truth.
   Corinthians-2|13:9  For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong:
 and this also we wish, [even] your perfection.
   Corinthians-2|13:10  Therefore I write these things being absent, lest
 being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord

 hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
   Corinthians-2|13:11  Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good
 comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall
 be with you.
   Corinthians-2|13:12  Greet one another with an holy kiss.
   Corinthians-2|13:13  All the saints salute you.
   Corinthians-2|13:14  The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of
 God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, [be] with you all. Amen.
   Galatians|1:1  Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by
 Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
   Galatians|1:2  And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches
 of Galatia:
   Galatians|1:3  Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and
 [from] our Lord Jesus Christ,
   Galatians|1:4  Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us
 from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
   Galatians|1:5  To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.
   Galatians|1:6  I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called
 you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
   Galatians|1:7  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you,
 and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

   Galatians|1:8  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other
 gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
 accursed.
   Galatians|1:9  As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach
 any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
   Galatians|1:10  For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please
 men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
   Galatians|1:11  But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was
 preached of me is not after man.
   Galatians|1:12  For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught
 [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
   Galatians|1:13  For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the
 Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and
 wasted it:
   Galatians|1:14  And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals
 in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my
 fathers.
   Galatians|1:15  But when it pleased God, who separated me from my
 mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
   Galatians|1:16  To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among
 the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

   Galatians|1:17  Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were
 apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto
 Damascus.
   Galatians|1:18  Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see
 Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
   Galatians|1:19  But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the
 Lord's brother.
   Galatians|1:20  Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before
 God, I lie not.
   Galatians|1:21  Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
   Galatians|1:22  And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which
 were in Christ:
   Galatians|1:23  But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in
 times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
   Galatians|1:24  And they glorified God in me.
   Galatians|2:1  Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem
 with Barnabas, and took Titus with [me] also.
   Galatians|2:2  And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them
 that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which
 were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
   Galatians|2:3  But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was

 compelled to be circumcised:
   Galatians|2:4  And that because of false brethren unawares brought in,
 who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus,
 that they might bring us into bondage:
   Galatians|2:5  To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour;
 that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
   Galatians|2:6  But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they
 were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they
 who seemed [to be somewhat] in conference added nothing to me:
   Galatians|2:7  But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the
 uncircumcision was committed unto me, as [the gospel] of the circumcision
 [was] unto Peter;
   Galatians|2:8  (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the
 apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the
 Gentiles:)
   Galatians|2:9  And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be
 pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and
 Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] unto the
 heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
   Galatians|2:10  Only [they would] that we should remember the poor; the
 same which I also was forward to do.

   Galatians|2:11  But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to
 the face, because he was to be blamed.
   Galatians|2:12  For before that certain came from James, he did eat with
 the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself,
 fearing them which were of the circumcision.
   Galatians|2:13  And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch
 that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
   Galatians|2:14  But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according
 to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before [them] all, If thou,
 being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews,
 why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
   Galatians|2:15  We [who are] Jews by nature, and not sinners of the
 Gentiles,
   Galatians|2:16  Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the
 law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus
 Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the
 works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
   Galatians|2:17  But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we
 ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of
 sin? God forbid.
   Galatians|2:18  For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make

 myself a transgressor.
   Galatians|2:19  For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might
 live unto God.
   Galatians|2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not
 I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I
 live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
   Galatians|2:21  I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness
 [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
   Galatians|3:1  O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye
 should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been
 evidently set forth, crucified among you?
   Galatians|3:2  This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by
 the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
   Galatians|3:3  Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now
 made perfect by the flesh?
   Galatians|3:4  Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if [it be] yet in
 vain.
   Galatians|3:5  He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and
 worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by
 the hearing of faith?
   Galatians|3:6  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him

 for righteousness.
   Galatians|3:7  Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same
 are the children of Abraham.
   Galatians|3:8  And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the
 heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, [saying],
 In thee shall all nations be blessed.
   Galatians|3:9  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful
 Abraham.
   Galatians|3:10  For as many as are of the works of the law are under the
 curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all
 things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
   Galatians|3:11  But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of
 God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
   Galatians|3:12  And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them
 shall live in them.
   Galatians|3:13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being
 made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth
 on a tree:
   Galatians|3:14  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles
 through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit
 through faith.

   Galatians|3:15  Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though [it be]
 but a man's covenant, yet [if it be] confirmed, no man disannulleth, or
 addeth thereto.
   Galatians|3:16  Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He
 saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which
 is Christ.
   Galatians|3:17  And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed
 before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years
 after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
   Galatians|3:18  For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more
 of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise.
   Galatians|3:19  Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of
 transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;
 [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
   Galatians|3:20  Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God is
 one.
   Galatians|3:21  [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God
 forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life,
 verily righteousness should have been by the law.
   Galatians|3:22  But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the
 promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

   Galatians|3:23  But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut
 up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
   Galatians|3:24  Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto
 Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
   Galatians|3:25  But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
 schoolmaster.
   Galatians|3:26  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ
 Jesus.
   Galatians|3:27  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have
 put on Christ.
   Galatians|3:28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor
 free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
   Galatians|3:29  And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and
 heirs according to the promise.
   Galatians|4:1  Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child,
 differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
   Galatians|4:2  But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed
 of the father.
   Galatians|4:3  Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under
 the elements of the world:
   Galatians|4:4  But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth

 his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
   Galatians|4:5  To redeem them that were under the law, that we might
 receive the adoption of sons.
   Galatians|4:6  And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of
 his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
   Galatians|4:7  Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a
 son, then an heir of God through Christ.
   Galatians|4:8  Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto
 them which by nature are no gods.
   Galatians|4:9  But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known
 of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye
 desire again to be in bondage?
   Galatians|4:10  Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
   Galatians|4:11  I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour
 in vain.
   Galatians|4:12  Brethren, I beseech you, be as I [am]; for I [am] as ye
 [are]: ye have not injured me at all.
   Galatians|4:13  Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the
 gospel unto you at the first.
   Galatians|4:14  And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not,
 nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, [even] as Christ Jesus.

   Galatians|4:15  Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you
 record, that, if [it had been] possible, ye would have plucked out your own
 eyes, and have given them to me.
   Galatians|4:16  Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the
 truth?
   Galatians|4:17  They zealously affect you, [but] not well; yea, they
 would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
   Galatians|4:18  But [it is] good to be zealously affected always in [a]
 good [thing], and not only when I am present with you.
   Galatians|4:19  My little children, of whom I travail in birth again
 until Christ be formed in you,
   Galatians|4:20  I desire to be present with you now, and to change my
 voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
   Galatians|4:21  Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not
 hear the law?
   Galatians|4:22  For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by
 a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
   Galatians|4:23  But he [who was] of the bondwoman was born after the
 flesh; but he of the freewoman [was] by promise.
   Galatians|4:24  Which things are an allegory: for these are the two
 covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which

 is Agar.
   Galatians|4:25  For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to
 Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
   Galatians|4:26  But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother
 of us all.
   Galatians|4:27  For it is written, Rejoice, [thou] barren that bearest
 not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath
 many more children than she which hath an husband.
   Galatians|4:28  Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of
 promise.
   Galatians|4:29  But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted
 him [that was born] after the Spirit, even so [it is] now.
   Galatians|4:30  Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the
 bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with
 the son of the freewoman.
   Galatians|4:31  So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman,
 but of the free.
   Galatians|5:1  Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath
 made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
   Galatians|5:2  Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised,
 Christ shall profit you nothing.

   Galatians|5:3  For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that
 he is a debtor to do the whole law.
   Galatians|5:4  Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you
 are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
   Galatians|5:5  For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of
 righteousness by faith.
   Galatians|5:6  For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any
 thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
   Galatians|5:7  Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not
 obey the truth?
   Galatians|5:8  This persuasion [cometh] not of him that calleth you.
   Galatians|5:9  A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
   Galatians|5:10  I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will
 be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his
 judgment, whosoever he be.
   Galatians|5:11  And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I
 yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
   Galatians|5:12  I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
   Galatians|5:13  For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only
 [use] not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one
 another.

   Galatians|5:14  For all the law is fulfilled in one word, [even] in this;
 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
   Galatians|5:15  But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye
 be not consumed one of another.
   Galatians|5:16  [This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not
 fulfil the lust of the flesh.
   Galatians|5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit
 against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye
 cannot do the things that ye would.
   Galatians|5:18  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
   Galatians|5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
 [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
   Galatians|5:20  Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations,
 wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
   Galatians|5:21  Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such
 like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time
 past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
   Galatians|5:22  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
 longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
   Galatians|5:23  Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
   Galatians|5:24  And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with

 the affections and lusts.
   Galatians|5:25  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
   Galatians|5:26  Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one
 another, envying one another.
   Galatians|6:1  Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are
 spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering
 thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
   Galatians|6:2  Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of
 Christ.
   Galatians|6:3  For if a man think himself to be something, when he is
 nothing, he deceiveth himself.
   Galatians|6:4  But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he
 have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
   Galatians|6:5  For every man shall bear his own burden.
   Galatians|6:6  Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him
 that teacheth in all good things.
   Galatians|6:7  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man
 soweth, that shall he also reap.
   Galatians|6:8  For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
 corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
 everlasting.

   Galatians|6:9  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season
 we shall reap, if we faint not.
   Galatians|6:10  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all
 [men], especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
   Galatians|6:11  Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with
 mine own hand.
   Galatians|6:12  As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they
 constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution
 for the cross of Christ.
   Galatians|6:13  For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the
 law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
   Galatians|6:14  But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of
 our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto
 the world.
   Galatians|6:15  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any
 thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
   Galatians|6:16  And as many as walk according to this rule, peace [be] on
 them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
   Galatians|6:17  From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my
 body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
   Galatians|6:18  Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with

 your spirit. Amen.
   Ephesians|1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to
 the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
   Ephesians|1:2  Grace [be] to you, and peace, from God our Father, and
 [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
   Ephesians|1:3  Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
 who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in
 Christ:
   Ephesians|1:4  According as he hath chosen us in him before the
 foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before
 him in love:
   Ephesians|1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by
 Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
   Ephesians|1:6  To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath
 made us accepted in the beloved.
   Ephesians|1:7  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the
 forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
   Ephesians|1:8  Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and
 prudence;
   Ephesians|1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
 according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

   Ephesians|1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might
 gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and
 which are on earth; [even] in him:
   Ephesians|1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being
 predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after
 the counsel of his own will:
   Ephesians|1:12  That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first
 trusted in Christ.
   Ephesians|1:13  In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word
 of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye
 believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
   Ephesians|1:14  Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the
 redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
   Ephesians|1:15  Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord
 Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
   Ephesians|1:16  Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you
 in my prayers;
   Ephesians|1:17  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of
 glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
 knowledge of him:
   Ephesians|1:18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye

 may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory
 of his inheritance in the saints,
   Ephesians|1:19  And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to
 us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
   Ephesians|1:20  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the
 dead, and set [him] at his own right hand in the heavenly [places],
   Ephesians|1:21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and
 dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in
 that which is to come:
   Ephesians|1:22  And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him
 [to be] the head over all [things] to the church,
   Ephesians|1:23  Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in
 all.
   Ephesians|2:1  And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses
 and sins:
   Ephesians|2:2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of
 this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit
 that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
   Ephesians|2:3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past
 in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the
 mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

   Ephesians|2:4  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love
 wherewith he loved us,
   Ephesians|2:5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together
 with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
   Ephesians|2:6  And hath raised [us] up together, and made [us] sit
 together in heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus:
   Ephesians|2:7  That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding
 riches of his grace in [his] kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
   Ephesians|2:8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
 yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
   Ephesians|2:9  Not of works, lest any man should boast.
   Ephesians|2:10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto
 good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
   Ephesians|2:11  Wherefore remember, that ye [being] in time past Gentiles
 in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the
 Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
   Ephesians|2:12  That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens
 from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of
 promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
   Ephesians|2:13  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are
 made nigh by the blood of Christ.

   Ephesians|2:14  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath
 broken down the middle wall of partition [between us];
   Ephesians|2:15  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law
 of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain
 one new man, [so] making peace;
   Ephesians|2:16  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by
 the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
   Ephesians|2:17  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off,
 and to them that were nigh.
   Ephesians|2:18  For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto
 the Father.
   Ephesians|2:19  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
 but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
   Ephesians|2:20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
 prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner [stone];
   Ephesians|2:21  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth
 unto an holy temple in the Lord:
   Ephesians|2:22  In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of
 God through the Spirit.
   Ephesians|3:1  For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for
 you Gentiles,

   Ephesians|3:2  If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God
 which is given me to you-ward:
   Ephesians|3:3  How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery;
 (as I wrote afore in few words,
   Ephesians|3:4  Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in
 the mystery of Christ)
   Ephesians|3:5  Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of
 men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the
 Spirit;
   Ephesians|3:6  That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same
 body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
   Ephesians|3:7  Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of
 the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
   Ephesians|3:8  Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this
 grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable
 riches of Christ;
   Ephesians|3:9  And to make all [men] see what [is] the fellowship of the
 mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who
 created all things by Jesus Christ:
   Ephesians|3:10  To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers
 in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of

 God,
   Ephesians|3:11  According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in
 Christ Jesus our Lord:
   Ephesians|3:12  In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by
 the faith of him.
   Ephesians|3:13  Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations
 for you, which is your glory.
   Ephesians|3:14  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord
 Jesus Christ,
   Ephesians|3:15  Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
   Ephesians|3:16  That he would grant you, according to the riches of his
 glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
   Ephesians|3:17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye,
 being rooted and grounded in love,
   Ephesians|3:18  May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the
 breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
   Ephesians|3:19  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
 that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
   Ephesians|3:20  Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
 above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
   Ephesians|3:21  Unto him [be] glory in the church by Christ Jesus

 throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
   Ephesians|4:1  I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye
 walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
   Ephesians|4:2  With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,
 forbearing one another in love;
   Ephesians|4:3  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond
 of peace.
   Ephesians|4:4  [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called
 in one hope of your calling;
   Ephesians|4:5  One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
   Ephesians|4:6  One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through
 all, and in you all.
   Ephesians|4:7  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the
 measure of the gift of Christ.
   Ephesians|4:8  Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
 captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
   Ephesians|4:9  (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also
 descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
   Ephesians|4:10  He that descended is the same also that ascended up far
 above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
   Ephesians|4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,

 evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
   Ephesians|4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
 ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
   Ephesians|4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
 knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
 stature of the fulness of Christ:
   Ephesians|4:14  That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and
 fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
 [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
   Ephesians|4:15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in
 all things, which is the head, [even] Christ:
   Ephesians|4:16  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and
 compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual
 working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the
 edifying of itself in love.
   Ephesians|4:17  This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
 henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
   Ephesians|4:18  Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from
 the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the
 blindness of their heart:
   Ephesians|4:19  Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto

 lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
   Ephesians|4:20  But ye have not so learned Christ;
   Ephesians|4:21  If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by
 him, as the truth is in Jesus:
   Ephesians|4:22  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the
 old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
   Ephesians|4:23  And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
   Ephesians|4:24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is
 created in righteousness and true holiness.
   Ephesians|4:25  Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with
 his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
   Ephesians|4:26  Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon
 your wrath:
   Ephesians|4:27  Neither give place to the devil.
   Ephesians|4:28  Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him
 labour, working with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have
 to give to him that needeth.
   Ephesians|4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
 but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace
 unto the hearers.
   Ephesians|4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are

 sealed unto the day of redemption.
   Ephesians|4:31  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,
 and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
   Ephesians|4:32  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving
 one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
   Ephesians|5:1  Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
   Ephesians|5:2  And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath
 given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling
 savour.
   Ephesians|5:3  But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let
 it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
   Ephesians|5:4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting,
 which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
   Ephesians|5:5  For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person,
 nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom
 of Christ and of God.
   Ephesians|5:6  Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of
 these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
   Ephesians|5:7  Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
   Ephesians|5:8  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in
 the Lord: walk as children of light:

   Ephesians|5:9  (For the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness and
 righteousness and truth;)
   Ephesians|5:10  Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
   Ephesians|5:11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of
 darkness, but rather reprove [them].
   Ephesians|5:12  For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are
 done of them in secret.
   Ephesians|5:13  But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the
 light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
   Ephesians|5:14  Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise
 from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
   Ephesians|5:15  See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as
 wise,
   Ephesians|5:16  Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
   Ephesians|5:17  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the
 will of the Lord [is].
   Ephesians|5:18  And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be
 filled with the Spirit;
   Ephesians|5:19  Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual
 songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
   Ephesians|5:20  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the

 Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
   Ephesians|5:21  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
   Ephesians|5:22  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto
 the Lord.
   Ephesians|5:23  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ
 is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
   Ephesians|5:24  Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so [let]
 the wives [be] to their own husbands in every thing.
   Ephesians|5:25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the
 church, and gave himself for it;
   Ephesians|5:26  That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
 water by the word,
   Ephesians|5:27  That he might present it to himself a glorious church,
 not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy
 and without blemish.
   Ephesians|5:28  So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He
 that loveth his wife loveth himself.
   Ephesians|5:29  For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth
 and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
   Ephesians|5:30  For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his
 bones.

   Ephesians|5:31  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,
 and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
   Ephesians|5:32  This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ
 and the church.
   Ephesians|5:33  Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love
 his wife even as himself; and the wife [see] that she reverence [her]
 husband.
   Ephesians|6:1  Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is
 right.
   Ephesians|6:2  Honour thy father and mother; which is the first
 commandment with promise;
   Ephesians|6:3  That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long
 on the earth.
   Ephesians|6:4  And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but
 bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
   Ephesians|6:5  Servants, be obedient to them that are [your] masters
 according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your
 heart, as unto Christ;
   Ephesians|6:6  Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants
 of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
   Ephesians|6:7  With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to

 men:
   Ephesians|6:8  Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same
 shall he receive of the Lord, whether [he be] bond or free.
   Ephesians|6:9  And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing
 threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there
 respect of persons with him.
   Ephesians|6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the
 power of his might.
   Ephesians|6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
 stand against the wiles of the devil.
   Ephesians|6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
 principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
 world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
   Ephesians|6:13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye
 may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
   Ephesians|6:14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth,
 and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
   Ephesians|6:15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of
 peace;
   Ephesians|6:16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall
 be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

   Ephesians|6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
 Spirit, which is the word of God:
   Ephesians|6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
 Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for
 all saints;
   Ephesians|6:19  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I
 may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
   Ephesians|6:20  For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may
 speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
   Ephesians|6:21  But that ye also may know my affairs, [and] how I do,
 Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make
 known to you all things:
   Ephesians|6:22  Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye
 might know our affairs, and [that] he might comfort your hearts.
   Ephesians|6:23  Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from God
 the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
   Ephesians|6:24  Grace [be] with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ
 in sincerity. Amen.
   Philippians|1:1  Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all
 the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and
 deacons:

   Philippians|1:2  Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and
 [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
   Philippians|1:3  I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
   Philippians|1:4  Always in every prayer of mine for you all making
 request with joy,
   Philippians|1:5  For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day
 until now;
   Philippians|1:6  Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath
 begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
   Philippians|1:7  Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all,
 because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the
 defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
   Philippians|1:8  For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all
 in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
   Philippians|1:9  And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and
 more in knowledge and [in] all judgment;
   Philippians|1:10  That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye
 may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
   Philippians|1:11  Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which
 are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
   Philippians|1:12  But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the

 things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance
 of the gospel;
   Philippians|1:13  So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the
 palace, and in all other [places];
   Philippians|1:14  And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident
 by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
   Philippians|1:15  Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and
 some also of good will:
   Philippians|1:16  The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely,
 supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
   Philippians|1:17  But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the
 defence of the gospel.
   Philippians|1:18  What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in
 pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea,
 and will rejoice.
   Philippians|1:19  For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through
 your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
   Philippians|1:20  According to my earnest expectation and [my] hope, that
 in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness, as always,
 [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether [it be] by
 life, or by death.

   Philippians|1:21  For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
   Philippians|1:22  But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my
 labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
   Philippians|1:23  For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to
 depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
   Philippians|1:24  Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful
 for you.
   Philippians|1:25  And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide
 and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
   Philippians|1:26  That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus
 Christ for me by my coming to you again.
   Philippians|1:27  Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel
 of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear
 of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving
 together for the faith of the gospel;
   Philippians|1:28  And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is
 to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of
 God.
   Philippians|1:29  For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not
 only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
   Philippians|1:30  Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now

 hear [to be] in me.
   Philippians|2:1  If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if
 any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and
 mercies,
   Philippians|2:2  Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same
 love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.
   Philippians|2:3  [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but
 in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
   Philippians|2:4  Look not every man on his own things, but every man also
 on the things of others.
   Philippians|2:5  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
   Philippians|2:6  Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to
 be equal with God:
   Philippians|2:7  But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
 form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
   Philippians|2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
 and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
   Philippians|2:9  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given
 him a name which is above every name:
   Philippians|2:10  That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
 [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;

   Philippians|2:11  And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus
 Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
   Philippians|2:12  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as
 in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own
 salvation with fear and trembling.
   Philippians|2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to
 do of [his] good pleasure.
   Philippians|2:14  Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
   Philippians|2:15  That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God,
 without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom
 ye shine as lights in the world;
   Philippians|2:16  Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in
 the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
   Philippians|2:17  Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service
 of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
   Philippians|2:18  For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
   Philippians|2:19  But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly
 unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
   Philippians|2:20  For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care
 for your state.
   Philippians|2:21  For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus

 Christ's.
   Philippians|2:22  But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the
 father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
   Philippians|2:23  Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I
 shall see how it will go with me.
   Philippians|2:24  But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come
 shortly.
   Philippians|2:25  Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you
 Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but
 your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
   Philippians|2:26  For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness,
 because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
   Philippians|2:27  For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had
 mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have
 sorrow upon sorrow.
   Philippians|2:28  I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye
 see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
   Philippians|2:29  Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness;
 and hold such in reputation:
   Philippians|2:30  Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death,
 not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

   Philippians|3:1  Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the
 same things to you, to me indeed [is] not grievous, but for you [it is]
 safe.
   Philippians|3:2  Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the
 concision.
   Philippians|3:3  For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the
 spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
   Philippians|3:4  Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any
 other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I
 more:
   Philippians|3:5  Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, [of]
 the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a
 Pharisee;
   Philippians|3:6  Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the
 righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
   Philippians|3:7  But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss
 for Christ.
   Philippians|3:8  Yea doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for the
 excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have
 suffered the loss of all things, and do count them [but] dung, that I may
 win Christ,

   Philippians|3:9  And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness,
 which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the
 righteousness which is of God by faith:
   Philippians|3:10  That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection,
 and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his
 death;
   Philippians|3:11  If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of
 the dead.
   Philippians|3:12  Not as though I had already attained, either were
 already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which
 also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
   Philippians|3:13  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but
 [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and
 reaching forth unto those things which are before,
   Philippians|3:14  I press toward the mark for the prize of the high
 calling of God in Christ Jesus.
   Philippians|3:15  Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus
 minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even
 this unto you.
   Philippians|3:16  Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us
 walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.

   Philippians|3:17  Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them
 which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
   Philippians|3:18  (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now
 tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:
   Philippians|3:19  Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly,
 and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
   Philippians|3:20  For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we
 look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
   Philippians|3:21  Who shall change our vile body, that it may be
 fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he
 is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
   Philippians|4:1  Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for,
 my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, [my] dearly beloved.
   Philippians|4:2  I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of
 the same mind in the Lord.
   Philippians|4:3  And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those
 women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and [with]
 other my fellowlabourers, whose names [are] in the book of life.
   Philippians|4:4  Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.
   Philippians|4:5  Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is]
 at hand.

   Philippians|4:6  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and
 supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
   Philippians|4:7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
 shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
   Philippians|4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
 whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever
 things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are]
 of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise,
 think on these things.
   Philippians|4:9  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received,
 and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
   Philippians|4:10  But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the
 last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful,
 but ye lacked opportunity.
   Philippians|4:11  Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have
 learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.
   Philippians|4:12  I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound:
 every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be
 hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
   Philippians|4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth
 me.

   Philippians|4:14  Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did
 communicate with my affliction.
   Philippians|4:15  Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of
 the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me
 as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
   Philippians|4:16  For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my
 necessity.
   Philippians|4:17  Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that
 may abound to your account.
   Philippians|4:18  But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received
 of Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet
 smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
   Philippians|4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to his
 riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
   Philippians|4:20  Now unto God and our Father [be] glory for ever and
 ever. Amen.
   Philippians|4:21  Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which
 are with me greet you.
   Philippians|4:22  All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of
 Caesar's household.
   Philippians|4:23  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.

 Amen.
   Colossians|1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and
 Timotheus [our] brother,
   Colossians|1:2  To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are
 at Colosse: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the
 Lord Jesus Christ.
   Colossians|1:3  We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus
 Christ, praying always for you,
   Colossians|1:4  Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the
 love [which ye have] to all the saints,
   Colossians|1:5  For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof
 ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
   Colossians|1:6  Which is come unto you, as [it is] in all the world; and
 bringeth forth fruit, as [it doth] also in you, since the day ye heard [of
 it], and knew the grace of God in truth:
   Colossians|1:7  As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant,
 who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
   Colossians|1:8  Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
   Colossians|1:9  For this cause we also, since the day we heard [it], do
 not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the
 knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

   Colossians|1:10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing,
 being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
   Colossians|1:11  Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious
 power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
   Colossians|1:12  Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet
 to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
   Colossians|1:13  Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and
 hath translated [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son:
   Colossians|1:14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the
 forgiveness of sins:
   Colossians|1:15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of
 every creature:
   Colossians|1:16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,
 and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or
 dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him,
 and for him:
   Colossians|1:17  And he is before all things, and by him all things
 consist.
   Colossians|1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the
 beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have
 the preeminence.

   Colossians|1:19  For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all
 fulness dwell;
   Colossians|1:20  And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,
 by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they
 be] things in earth, or things in heaven.
   Colossians|1:21  And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in
 [your] mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
   Colossians|1:22  In the body of his flesh through death, to present you
 holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
   Colossians|1:23  If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and
 [be] not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, [and]
 which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul
 am made a minister;
   Colossians|1:24  Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up
 that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his
 body's sake, which is the church:
   Colossians|1:25  Whereof I am made a minister, according to the
 dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of
 God;
   Colossians|1:26  [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and
 from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

   Colossians|1:27  To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the
 glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope
 of glory:
   Colossians|1:28  Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every
 man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
   Colossians|1:29  Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his
 working, which worketh in me mightily.
   Colossians|2:1  For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for
 you, and [for] them at Laodicea, and [for] as many as have not seen my face
 in the flesh;
   Colossians|2:2  That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together
 in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the
 acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
   Colossians|2:3  In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
 knowledge.
   Colossians|2:4  And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with
 enticing words.
   Colossians|2:5  For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in
 the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your
 faith in Christ.
   Colossians|2:6  As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so]

 walk ye in him:
   Colossians|2:7  Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith,
 as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
   Colossians|2:8  Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain
 deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and
 not after Christ.
   Colossians|2:9  For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
 bodily.
   Colossians|2:10  And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all
 principality and power:
   Colossians|2:11  In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision
 made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the
 circumcision of Christ:
   Colossians|2:12  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen
 with [him] through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him
 from the dead.
   Colossians|2:13  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision
 of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all
 trespasses;
   Colossians|2:14  Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was
 against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing

 it to his cross;
   Colossians|2:15  [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made
 a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
   Colossians|2:16  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or
 in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath [days]:
   Colossians|2:17  Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is]
 of Christ.
   Colossians|2:18  Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary
 humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he
 hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
   Colossians|2:19  And not holding the Head, from which all the body by
 joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together,
 increaseth with the increase of God.
   Colossians|2:20  Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments
 of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to
 ordinances,
   Colossians|2:21  (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
   Colossians|2:22  Which all are to perish with the using;) after the
 commandments and doctrines of men?
   Colossians|2:23  Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will
 worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the

 satisfying of the flesh.
   Colossians|3:1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which
 are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
   Colossians|3:2  Set your affection on things above, not on things on the
 earth.
   Colossians|3:3  For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
   Colossians|3:4  When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall
 ye also appear with him in glory.
   Colossians|3:5  Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth;
 fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and
 covetousness, which is idolatry:
   Colossians|3:6  For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the
 children of disobedience:
   Colossians|3:7  In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in
 them.
   Colossians|3:8  But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice,
 blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
   Colossians|3:9  Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the
 old man with his deeds;
   Colossians|3:10  And have put on the new [man], which is renewed in
 knowledge after the image of him that created him:

   Colossians|3:11  Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor
 uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond [nor] free: but Christ [is] all,
 and in all.
   Colossians|3:12  Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
 bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
   Colossians|3:13  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if
 any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also
 [do] ye.
   Colossians|3:14  And above all these things [put on] charity, which is
 the bond of perfectness.
   Colossians|3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the
 which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
   Colossians|3:16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all
 wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and
 spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
   Colossians|3:17  And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the
 name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
   Colossians|3:18  Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it
 is fit in the Lord.
   Colossians|3:19  Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against
 them.

   Colossians|3:20  Children, obey [your] parents in all things: for this is
 well pleasing unto the Lord.
   Colossians|3:21  Fathers, provoke not your children [to anger], lest they
 be discouraged.
   Colossians|3:22  Servants, obey in all things [your] masters according to
 the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart,
 fearing God:
   Colossians|3:23  And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord,
 and not unto men;
   Colossians|3:24  Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of
 the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
   Colossians|3:25  But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong
 which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
   Colossians|4:1  Masters, give unto [your] servants that which is just and
 equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
   Colossians|4:2  Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with
 thanksgiving;
   Colossians|4:3  Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a
 door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in
 bonds:
   Colossians|4:4  That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

   Colossians|4:5  Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming
 the time.
   Colossians|4:6  Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with
 salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
   Colossians|4:7  All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, [who is] a
 beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
   Colossians|4:8  Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he
 might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
   Colossians|4:9  With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is
 [one] of you. They shall make known unto you all things which [are done]
 here.
   Colossians|4:10  Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus,
 sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he
 come unto you, receive him;)
   Colossians|4:11  And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the
 circumcision. These only [are my] fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God,
 which have been a comfort unto me.
   Colossians|4:12  Epaphras, who is [one] of you, a servant of Christ,
 saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may
 stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
   Colossians|4:13  For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for

 you, and them [that are] in Laodicea and them in Hierapolis.
   Colossians|4:14  Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
   Colossians|4:15  Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas,
 and the church which is in his house.
   Colossians|4:16  And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it
 be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the
 [epistle] from Laodicea.
   Colossians|4:17  And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which
 thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
   Colossians|4:18  The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my
 bonds. Grace [be] with you. Amen.
   Thessalonians-1|1:1  Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church
 of the Thessalonians [which is] in God the Father and [in] the Lord Jesus
 Christ: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord
 Jesus Christ.
   Thessalonians-1|1:2  We give thanks to God always for you all, making
 mention of you in our prayers;
   Thessalonians-1|1:3  Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and
 labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight
 of God and our Father;
   Thessalonians-1|1:4  Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

   Thessalonians-1|1:5  For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but
 also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know
 what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
   Thessalonians-1|1:6  And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord,
 having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
   Thessalonians-1|1:7  So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in
 Macedonia and Achaia.
   Thessalonians-1|1:8  For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not
 only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to
 God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
   Thessalonians-1|1:9  For they themselves show of us what manner of
 entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve
 the living and true God;
   Thessalonians-1|1:10  And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised
 from the dead, [even] Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
   Thessalonians-1|2:1  For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto
 you, that it was not in vain:
   Thessalonians-1|2:2  But even after that we had suffered before, and were
 shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to
 speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
   Thessalonians-1|2:3  For our exhortation [was] not of deceit, nor of

 uncleanness, nor in guile:
   Thessalonians-1|2:4  But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust
 with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which
 trieth our hearts.
   Thessalonians-1|2:5  For neither at any time used we flattering words, as
 ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness; God [is] witness:
   Thessalonians-1|2:6  Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor
 [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of
 Christ.
   Thessalonians-1|2:7  But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse
 cherisheth her children:
   Thessalonians-1|2:8  So being affectionately desirous of you, we were
 willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our
 own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
   Thessalonians-1|2:9  For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail:
 for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of
 you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
   Thessalonians-1|2:10  Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily and
 justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
   Thessalonians-1|2:11  As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and
 charged every one of you, as a father [doth] his children,

   Thessalonians-1|2:12  That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called
 you unto his kingdom and glory.
   Thessalonians-1|2:13  For this cause also thank we God without ceasing,
 because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received
 [it] not [as] the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God,
 which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
   Thessalonians-1|2:14  For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches
 of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like
 things of your own countrymen, even as they [have] of the Jews:
   Thessalonians-1|2:15  Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own
 prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary
 to all men:
   Thessalonians-1|2:16  Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they
 might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon
 them to the uttermost.
   Thessalonians-1|2:17  But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short
 time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your
 face with great desire.
   Thessalonians-1|2:18  Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul,
 once and again; but Satan hindered us.
   Thessalonians-1|2:19  For what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of

 rejoicing? [Are] not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at
 his coming?
   Thessalonians-1|2:20  For ye are our glory and joy.
   Thessalonians-1|3:1  Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we
 thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
   Thessalonians-1|3:2  And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of
 God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and
 to comfort you concerning your faith:
   Thessalonians-1|3:3  That no man should be moved by these afflictions:
 for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
   Thessalonians-1|3:4  For verily, when we were with you, we told you
 before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye
 know.
   Thessalonians-1|3:5  For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I
 sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you,
 and our labour be in vain.
   Thessalonians-1|3:6  But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and
 brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good
 remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also [to see]
 you:
   Thessalonians-1|3:7  Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in

 all our affliction and distress by your faith:
   Thessalonians-1|3:8  For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
   Thessalonians-1|3:9  For what thanks can we render to God again for you,
 for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
   Thessalonians-1|3:10  Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see
 your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
   Thessalonians-1|3:11  Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus
 Christ, direct our way unto you.
   Thessalonians-1|3:12  And the Lord make you to increase and abound in
 love one toward another, and toward all [men], even as we [do] toward you:
   Thessalonians-1|3:13  To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable
 in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus
 Christ with all his saints.
   Thessalonians-1|4:1  Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and
 exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought
 to walk and to please God, [so] ye would abound more and more.
   Thessalonians-1|4:2  For ye know what commandments we gave you by the
 Lord Jesus.
   Thessalonians-1|4:3  For this is the will of God, [even] your
 sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
   Thessalonians-1|4:4  That every one of you should know how to possess his

 vessel in sanctification and honour;
   Thessalonians-1|4:5  Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the
 Gentiles which know not God:
   Thessalonians-1|4:6  That no [man] go beyond and defraud his brother in
 [any] matter: because that the Lord [is] the avenger of all such, as we
 also have forewarned you and testified.
   Thessalonians-1|4:7  For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but
 unto holiness.
   Thessalonians-1|4:8  He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but
 God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
   Thessalonians-1|4:9  But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I
 write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
   Thessalonians-1|4:10  And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which
 are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more
 and more;
   Thessalonians-1|4:11  And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own
 business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
   Thessalonians-1|4:12  That ye may walk honestly toward them that are
 without, and [that] ye may have lack of nothing.
   Thessalonians-1|4:13  But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
 concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which

 have no hope.
   Thessalonians-1|4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,
 even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
   Thessalonians-1|4:15  For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord,
 that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not
 prevent them which are asleep.
   Thessalonians-1|4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with
 a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and
 the dead in Christ shall rise first:
   Thessalonians-1|4:17  Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be
 caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air:
 and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
   Thessalonians-1|4:18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
   Thessalonians-1|5:1  But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have
 no need that I write unto you.
   Thessalonians-1|5:2  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the
 Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
   Thessalonians-1|5:3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then
 sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child;
 and they shall not escape.
   Thessalonians-1|5:4  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day

 should overtake you as a thief.
   Thessalonians-1|5:5  Ye are all the children of light, and the children
 of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
   Thessalonians-1|5:6  Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let
 us watch and be sober.
   Thessalonians-1|5:7  For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they
 that be drunken are drunken in the night.
   Thessalonians-1|5:8  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on
 the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of
 salvation.
   Thessalonians-1|5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to
 obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
   Thessalonians-1|5:10  Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we
 should live together with him.
   Thessalonians-1|5:11  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify
 one another, even as also ye do.
   Thessalonians-1|5:12  And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which
 labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
   Thessalonians-1|5:13  And to esteem them very highly in love for their
 work's sake. [And] be at peace among yourselves.
   Thessalonians-1|5:14  Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are

 unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all
 [men].
   Thessalonians-1|5:15  See that none render evil for evil unto any [man];
 but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all
 [men].
   Thessalonians-1|5:16  Rejoice evermore.
   Thessalonians-1|5:17  Pray without ceasing.
   Thessalonians-1|5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of
 God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
   Thessalonians-1|5:19  Quench not the Spirit.
   Thessalonians-1|5:20  Despise not prophesyings.
   Thessalonians-1|5:21  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
   Thessalonians-1|5:22  Abstain from all appearance of evil.
   Thessalonians-1|5:23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and
 [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless
 unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   Thessalonians-1|5:24  Faithful [is] he that calleth you, who also will do
 [it].
   Thessalonians-1|5:25  Brethren, pray for us.
   Thessalonians-1|5:26  Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
   Thessalonians-1|5:27  I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read

 unto all the holy brethren.
   Thessalonians-1|5:28  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
 Amen.
   Thessalonians-2|1:1  Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church
 of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
   Thessalonians-2|1:2  Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and
 the Lord Jesus Christ.
   Thessalonians-2|1:3  We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren,
 as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity
 of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
   Thessalonians-2|1:4  So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of
 God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations
 that ye endure:
   Thessalonians-2|1:5  [Which is] a manifest token of the righteous
 judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for
 which ye also suffer:
   Thessalonians-2|1:6  Seeing [it is] a righteous thing with God to
 recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
   Thessalonians-2|1:7  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the
 Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
   Thessalonians-2|1:8  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know

 not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
   Thessalonians-2|1:9  Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction
 from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
   Thessalonians-2|1:10  When he shall come to be glorified in his saints,
 and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you
 was believed) in that day.
   Thessalonians-2|1:11  Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God
 would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure
 of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power:
   Thessalonians-2|1:12  That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be
 glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the
 Lord Jesus Christ.
   Thessalonians-2|2:1  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our
 Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,
   Thessalonians-2|2:2  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled,
 neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day
 of Christ is at hand.
   Thessalonians-2|2:3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day
 shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of
 sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
   Thessalonians-2|2:4  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is

 called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple
 of God, showing himself that he is God.
   Thessalonians-2|2:5  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I
 told you these things?
   Thessalonians-2|2:6  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be
 revealed in his time.
   Thessalonians-2|2:7  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only
 he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way.
   Thessalonians-2|2:8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the
 Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the
 brightness of his coming:
   Thessalonians-2|2:9  [Even him], whose coming is after the working of
 Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
   Thessalonians-2|2:10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in
 them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that
 they might be saved.
   Thessalonians-2|2:11  And for this cause God shall send them strong
 delusion, that they should believe a lie:
   Thessalonians-2|2:12  That they all might be damned who believed not the
 truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
   Thessalonians-2|2:13  But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for

 you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning
 chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of
 the truth:
   Thessalonians-2|2:14  Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the
 obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   Thessalonians-2|2:15  Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the
 traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
   Thessalonians-2|2:16  Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even
 our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting
 consolation and good hope through grace,
   Thessalonians-2|2:17  Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good
 word and work.
   Thessalonians-2|3:1  Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the
 Lord may have [free] course, and be glorified, even as [it is] with you:
   Thessalonians-2|3:2  And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and
 wicked men: for all [men] have not faith.
   Thessalonians-2|3:3  But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you,
 and keep [you] from evil.
   Thessalonians-2|3:4  And we have confidence in the Lord touching you,
 that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
   Thessalonians-2|3:5  And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of

 God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
   Thessalonians-2|3:6  Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our
 Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that
 walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
   Thessalonians-2|3:7  For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for
 we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
   Thessalonians-2|3:8  Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but
 wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be
 chargeable to any of you:
   Thessalonians-2|3:9  Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves
 an ensample unto you to follow us.
   Thessalonians-2|3:10  For even when we were with you, this we commanded
 you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
   Thessalonians-2|3:11  For we hear that there are some which walk among
 you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
   Thessalonians-2|3:12  Now them that are such we command and exhort by our
 Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
   Thessalonians-2|3:13  But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
   Thessalonians-2|3:14  And if any man obey not our word by this epistle,
 note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
   Thessalonians-2|3:15  Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [him]

 as a brother.
   Thessalonians-2|3:16  Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always
 by all means. The Lord [be] with you all.
   Thessalonians-2|3:17  The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is
 the token in every epistle: so I write.
   Thessalonians-2|3:18  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you
 all. Amen.
   Timothy-1|1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God
 our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, [which is] our hope;
   Timothy-1|1:2  Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, mercy,
 [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
   Timothy-1|1:3  As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went
 into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other
 doctrine,
   Timothy-1|1:4  Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which
 minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: [so do].
   Timothy-1|1:5  Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure
 heart, and [of] a good conscience, and [of] faith unfeigned:
   Timothy-1|1:6  From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain
 jangling;
   Timothy-1|1:7  Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither

 what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
   Timothy-1|1:8  But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it
 lawfully;
   Timothy-1|1:9  Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous
 man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners,
 for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers,
 for manslayers,
   Timothy-1|1:10  For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with
 mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be
 any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
   Timothy-1|1:11  According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God,
 which was committed to my trust.
   Timothy-1|1:12  And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me,
 for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
   Timothy-1|1:13  Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and
 injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief.
   Timothy-1|1:14  And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with
 faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
   Timothy-1|1:15  This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all
 acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom
 I am chief.

   Timothy-1|1:16  Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first
 Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them
 which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
   Timothy-1|1:17  Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only
 wise God, [be] honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
   Timothy-1|1:18  This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to
 the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a
 good warfare;
   Timothy-1|1:19  Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having
 put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
   Timothy-1|1:20  Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered
 unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
   Timothy-1|2:1  I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications,
 prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men;
   Timothy-1|2:2  For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we
 may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
   Timothy-1|2:3  For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our
 Saviour;
   Timothy-1|2:4  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the
 knowledge of the truth.
   Timothy-1|2:5  For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and

 men, the man Christ Jesus;
   Timothy-1|2:6  Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due
 time.
   Timothy-1|2:7  Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I
 speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in
 faith and verity.
   Timothy-1|2:8  I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up
 holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
   Timothy-1|2:9  In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest
 apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold,
 or pearls, or costly array;
   Timothy-1|2:10  But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good
 works.
   Timothy-1|2:11  Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
   Timothy-1|2:12  But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority
 over the man, but to be in silence.
   Timothy-1|2:13  For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
   Timothy-1|2:14  And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived
 was in the transgression.
   Timothy-1|2:15  Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if
 they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

   Timothy-1|3:1  This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a
 bishop, he desireth a good work.
   Timothy-1|3:2  A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife,
 vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
   Timothy-1|3:3  Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre;
 but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
   Timothy-1|3:4  One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in
 subjection with all gravity;
   Timothy-1|3:5  (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how
 shall he take care of the church of God?)
   Timothy-1|3:6  Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into
 the condemnation of the devil.
   Timothy-1|3:7  Moreover he must have a good report of them which are
 without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
   Timothy-1|3:8  Likewise [must] the deacons [be] grave, not doubletongued,
 not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
   Timothy-1|3:9  Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
   Timothy-1|3:10  And let these also first be proved; then let them use the
 office of a deacon, being [found] blameless.
   Timothy-1|3:11  Even so [must their] wives [be] grave, not slanderers,
 sober, faithful in all things.

   Timothy-1|3:12  Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their
 children and their own houses well.
   Timothy-1|3:13  For they that have used the office of a deacon well
 purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which
 is in Christ Jesus.
   Timothy-1|3:14  These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee
 shortly:
   Timothy-1|3:15  But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou
 oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the
 living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
   Timothy-1|3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of
 godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
 angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up
 into glory.
   Timothy-1|4:1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter
 times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,
 and doctrines of devils;
   Timothy-1|4:2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared
 with a hot iron;
   Timothy-1|4:3  Forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from
 meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them

 which believe and know the truth.
   Timothy-1|4:4  For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing to be
 refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
   Timothy-1|4:5  For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
   Timothy-1|4:6  If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things,
 thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of
 faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
   Timothy-1|4:7  But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise
 thyself [rather] unto godliness.
   Timothy-1|4:8  For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is
 profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of
 that which is to come.
   Timothy-1|4:9  This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
   Timothy-1|4:10  For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because
 we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of
 those that believe.
   Timothy-1|4:11  These things command and teach.
   Timothy-1|4:12  Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of
 the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith,
 in purity.
   Timothy-1|4:13  Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation,

 to doctrine.
   Timothy-1|4:14  Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given
 thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
   Timothy-1|4:15  Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them;
 that thy profiting may appear to all.
   Timothy-1|4:16  Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue
 in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear
 thee.
   Timothy-1|5:1  Rebuke not an elder, but entreat [him] as a father; [and]
 the younger men as brethren;
   Timothy-1|5:2  The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with
 all purity.
   Timothy-1|5:3  Honour widows that are widows indeed.
   Timothy-1|5:4  But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn
 first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good
 and acceptable before God.
   Timothy-1|5:5  Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in
 God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
   Timothy-1|5:6  But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
   Timothy-1|5:7  And these things give in charge, that they may be
 blameless.

   Timothy-1|5:8  But if any provide not for his own, and specially for
 those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an
 infidel.
   Timothy-1|5:9  Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore
 years old, having been the wife of one man,
   Timothy-1|5:10  Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up
 children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints'
 feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed
 every good work.
   Timothy-1|5:11  But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun
 to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
   Timothy-1|5:12  Having damnation, because they have cast off their first
 faith.
   Timothy-1|5:13  And withal they learn [to be] idle, wandering about from
 house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies,
 speaking things which they ought not.
   Timothy-1|5:14  I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear
 children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak
 reproachfully.
   Timothy-1|5:15  For some are already turned aside after Satan.
   Timothy-1|5:16  If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them

 relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them
 that are widows indeed.
   Timothy-1|5:17  Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double
 honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
   Timothy-1|5:18  For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox
 that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of his reward.
   Timothy-1|5:19  Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before
 two or three witnesses.
   Timothy-1|5:20  Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may
 fear.
   Timothy-1|5:21  I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
 and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one
 before another, doing nothing by partiality.
   Timothy-1|5:22  Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of
 other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
   Timothy-1|5:23  Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy
 stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
   Timothy-1|5:24  Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to
 judgment; and some [men] they follow after.
   Timothy-1|5:25  Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest
 beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

   Timothy-1|6:1  Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own
 masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and [his] doctrine be
 not blasphemed.
   Timothy-1|6:2  And they that have believing masters, let them not despise
 [them], because they are brethren; but rather do [them] service, because
 they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach
 and exhort.
   Timothy-1|6:3  If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome
 words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which
 is according to godliness;
   Timothy-1|6:4  He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions
 and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil
 surmisings,
   Timothy-1|6:5  Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute
 of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
   Timothy-1|6:6  But godliness with contentment is great gain.
   Timothy-1|6:7  For we brought nothing into [this] world, [and it is]
 certain we can carry nothing out.
   Timothy-1|6:8  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
   Timothy-1|6:9  But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a
 snare, and [into] many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in

 destruction and perdition.
   Timothy-1|6:10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which
 while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced
 themselves through with many sorrows.
   Timothy-1|6:11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow
 after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
   Timothy-1|6:12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,
 whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before
 many witnesses.
   Timothy-1|6:13  I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth
 all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed
 a good confession;
   Timothy-1|6:14  That thou keep [this] commandment without spot,
 unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
   Timothy-1|6:15  Which in his times he shall show, [who is] the blessed
 and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
   Timothy-1|6:16  Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no
 man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be]
 honour and power everlasting. Amen.
   Timothy-1|6:17  Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not
 highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who

 giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
   Timothy-1|6:18  That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready
 to distribute, willing to communicate;
   Timothy-1|6:19  Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation
 against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
   Timothy-1|6:20  O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust,
 avoiding profane [and] vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely
 so called:
   Timothy-1|6:21  Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.
 Grace [be] with thee. Amen.
   Timothy-2|1:1  Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
 according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
   Timothy-2|1:2  To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and]
 peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
   Timothy-2|1:3  I thank God, whom I serve from [my] forefathers with pure
 conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers
 night and day;
   Timothy-2|1:4  Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears,
 that I may be filled with joy;
   Timothy-2|1:5  When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in
 thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and

 I am persuaded that in thee also.
   Timothy-2|1:6  Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the
 gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
   Timothy-2|1:7  For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of
 power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
   Timothy-2|1:8  Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our
 Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of
 the gospel according to the power of God;
   Timothy-2|1:9  Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling,
 not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace,
 which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
   Timothy-2|1:10  But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour
 Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and
 immortality to light through the gospel:
   Timothy-2|1:11  Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and
 a teacher of the Gentiles.
   Timothy-2|1:12  For the which cause I also suffer these things:
 nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am
 persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him
 against that day.
   Timothy-2|1:13  Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard

 of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
   Timothy-2|1:14  That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the
 Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
   Timothy-2|1:15  This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be
 turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
   Timothy-2|1:16  The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he
 oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
   Timothy-2|1:17  But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very
 diligently, and found [me].
   Timothy-2|1:18  The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the
 Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus,
 thou knowest very well.
   Timothy-2|2:1  Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in
 Christ Jesus.
   Timothy-2|2:2  And the things that thou hast heard of me among many
 witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach
 others also.
   Timothy-2|2:3  Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus
 Christ.
   Timothy-2|2:4  No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of
 [this] life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

   Timothy-2|2:5  And if a man also strive for masteries, [yet] is he not
 crowned, except he strive lawfully.
   Timothy-2|2:6  The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of
 the fruits.
   Timothy-2|2:7  Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding
 in all things.
   Timothy-2|2:8  Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised
 from the dead according to my gospel:
   Timothy-2|2:9  Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, [even] unto
 bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
   Timothy-2|2:10  Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that
 they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal
 glory.
   Timothy-2|2:11  [It is] a faithful saying: For if we be dead with [him],
 we shall also live with [him]:
   Timothy-2|2:12  If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny
 [him], he also will deny us:
   Timothy-2|2:13  If we believe not, [yet] he abideth faithful: he cannot
 deny himself.
   Timothy-2|2:14  Of these things put [them] in remembrance, charging
 [them] before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, [but]

 to the subverting of the hearers.
   Timothy-2|2:15  Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
 needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
   Timothy-2|2:16  But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will
 increase unto more ungodliness.
   Timothy-2|2:17  And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is
 Hymenaeus and Philetus;
   Timothy-2|2:18  Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the
 resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
   Timothy-2|2:19  Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having
 this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that
 nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
   Timothy-2|2:20  But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold
 and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some
 to dishonour.
   Timothy-2|2:21  If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be
 a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, [and]
 prepared unto every good work.
   Timothy-2|2:22  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness,
 faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
   Timothy-2|2:23  But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that

 they do gender strifes.
   Timothy-2|2:24  And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be
 gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient,
   Timothy-2|2:25  In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if
 God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the
 truth;
   Timothy-2|2:26  And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare
 of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
   Timothy-2|3:1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
 come.
   Timothy-2|3:2  For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
 boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
   Timothy-2|3:3  Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
 incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
   Timothy-2|3:4  Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than
 lovers of God;
   Timothy-2|3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:
 from such turn away.
   Timothy-2|3:6  For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and
 lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
   Timothy-2|3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of

 the truth.
   Timothy-2|3:8  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these
 also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the
 faith.
   Timothy-2|3:9  But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall
 be manifest unto all [men], as theirs also was.
   Timothy-2|3:10  But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life,
 purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
   Timothy-2|3:11  Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch,
 at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of [them] all
 the Lord delivered me.
   Timothy-2|3:12  Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall
 suffer persecution.
   Timothy-2|3:13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
 deceiving, and being deceived.
   Timothy-2|3:14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned
 and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned [them];
   Timothy-2|3:15  And that from a child thou hast known the holy
 scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith
 which is in Christ Jesus.
   Timothy-2|3:16  All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is]

 profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
 righteousness:
   Timothy-2|3:17  That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished
 unto all good works.
   Timothy-2|4:1  I charge [thee] therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus
 Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his
 kingdom;
   Timothy-2|4:2  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season;
 reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
   Timothy-2|4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound
 doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
 having itching ears;
   Timothy-2|4:4  And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and
 shall be turned unto fables.
   Timothy-2|4:5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the
 work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
   Timothy-2|4:6  For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my
 departure is at hand.
   Timothy-2|4:7  I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I
 have kept the faith:
   Timothy-2|4:8  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of

 righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that
 day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
   Timothy-2|4:9  Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
   Timothy-2|4:10  For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present
 world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto
 Dalmatia.
   Timothy-2|4:11  Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee:
 for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
   Timothy-2|4:12  And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
   Timothy-2|4:13  The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou
 comest, bring [with thee], and the books, [but] especially the parchments.
   Timothy-2|4:14  Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord
 reward him according to his works:
   Timothy-2|4:15  Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood
 our words.
   Timothy-2|4:16  At my first answer no man stood with me, but all [men]
 forsook me: [I pray God] that it may not be laid to their charge.
   Timothy-2|4:17  Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened
 me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and [that] all the
 Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
   Timothy-2|4:18  And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and

 will preserve [me] unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] glory for ever
 and ever. Amen.
   Timothy-2|4:19  Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of
 Onesiphorus.
   Timothy-2|4:20  Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at
 Miletum sick.
   Timothy-2|4:21  Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth
 thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
   Timothy-2|4:22  The Lord Jesus Christ [be] with thy spirit. Grace [be]
 with you. Amen.
   Titus|1:1  Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ,
 according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth
 which is after godliness;
   Titus|1:2  In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised
 before the world began;
   Titus|1:3  But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching,
 which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
   Titus|1:4  To Titus, [mine] own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy,
 [and] peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
   Titus|1:5  For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set
 in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I

 had appointed thee:
   Titus|1:6  If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful
 children not accused of riot or unruly.
   Titus|1:7  For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not
 selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to
 filthy lucre;
   Titus|1:8  But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just,
 holy, temperate;
   Titus|1:9  Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he
 may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the
 gainsayers.
   Titus|1:10  For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers,
 specially they of the circumcision:
   Titus|1:11  Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,
 teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
   Titus|1:12  One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The
 Cretians [are] alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
   Titus|1:13  This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that
 they may be sound in the faith;
   Titus|1:14  Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men,
 that turn from the truth.

   Titus|1:15  Unto the pure all things [are] pure: but unto them that are
 defiled and unbelieving [is] nothing pure; but even their mind and
 conscience is defiled.
   Titus|1:16  They profess that they know God; but in works they deny
 [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work
 reprobate.
   Titus|2:1  But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
   Titus|2:2  That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith,
 in charity, in patience.
   Titus|2:3  The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as
 becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of
 good things;
   Titus|2:4  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their
 husbands, to love their children,
   Titus|2:5  [To be] discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to
 their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
   Titus|2:6  Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
   Titus|2:7  In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in
 doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
   Titus|2:8  Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the
 contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.

   Titus|2:9  [Exhort] servants to be obedient unto their own masters, [and]
 to please [them] well in all [things]; not answering again;
   Titus|2:10  Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may
 adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
   Titus|2:11  For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to
 all men,
   Titus|2:12  Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
 should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
   Titus|2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of
 the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
   Titus|2:14  Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all
 iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
   Titus|2:15  These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all
 authority. Let no man despise thee.
   Titus|3:1  Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers,
 to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
   Titus|3:2  To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, [but] gentle,
 showing all meekness unto all men.
   Titus|3:3  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient,
 deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy,
 hateful, [and] hating one another.

   Titus|3:4  But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward
 man appeared,
   Titus|3:5  Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
 according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and
 renewing of the Holy Ghost;
   Titus|3:6  Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our
 Saviour;
   Titus|3:7  That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs
 according to the hope of eternal life.
   Titus|3:8  [This is] a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou
 affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to
 maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
   Titus|3:9  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions,
 and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
   Titus|3:10  A man that is an heretic after the first and second
 admonition reject;
   Titus|3:11  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being
 condemned of himself.
   Titus|3:12  When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent
 to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
   Titus|3:13  Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey

 diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
   Titus|3:14  And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary
 uses, that they be not unfruitful.
   Titus|3:15  All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in
 the faith. Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
   Philemon|1:1  Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy [our]
 brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
   Philemon|1:2  And to [our] beloved Apphia, and Archippus our
 fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
   Philemon|1:3  Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord
 Jesus Christ.
   Philemon|1:4  I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my
 prayers,
   Philemon|1:5  Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the
 Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
   Philemon|1:6  That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by
 the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
   Philemon|1:7  For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because
 the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
   Philemon|1:8  Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin
 thee that which is convenient,

   Philemon|1:9  Yet for love's sake I rather beseech [thee], being such an
 one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
   Philemon|1:10  I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten
 in my bonds:
   Philemon|1:11  Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now
 profitable to thee and to me:
   Philemon|1:12  Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that
 is, mine own bowels:
   Philemon|1:13  Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he
 might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
   Philemon|1:14  But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit
 should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
   Philemon|1:15  For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou
 shouldest receive him for ever;
   Philemon|1:16  Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother
 beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh,
 and in the Lord?
   Philemon|1:17  If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as
 myself.
   Philemon|1:18  If he hath wronged thee, or oweth [thee] ought, put that
 on mine account;

   Philemon|1:19  I Paul have written [it] with mine own hand, I will repay
 [it]: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own
 self besides.
   Philemon|1:20  Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh
 my bowels in the Lord.
   Philemon|1:21  Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee,
 knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
   Philemon|1:22  But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that
 through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
   Philemon|1:23  There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ
 Jesus;
   Philemon|1:24  Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
   Philemon|1:25  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit.
 Amen.
   Hebrews|1:1  God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
 past unto the fathers by the prophets,
   Hebrews|1:2  Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he
 hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
   Hebrews|1:3  Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express
 image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,
 when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the

 Majesty on high;
   Hebrews|1:4  Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
 inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
   Hebrews|1:5  For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art
 my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a
 Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
   Hebrews|1:6  And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the
 world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
   Hebrews|1:7  And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits,
 and his ministers a flame of fire.
   Hebrews|1:8  But unto the Son [he saith], Thy throne, O God, [is] for
 ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness [is] the sceptre of thy kingdom.
   Hebrews|1:9  Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore
 God, [even] thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy
 fellows.
   Hebrews|1:10  And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation
 of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
   Hebrews|1:11  They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall
 wax old as doth a garment;
   Hebrews|1:12  And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be
 changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

   Hebrews|1:13  But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my
 right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
   Hebrews|1:14  Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to
 minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
   Hebrews|2:1  Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the
 things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let [them] slip.
   Hebrews|2:2  For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every
 transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;
   Hebrews|2:3  How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which
 at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by
 them that heard [him];
   Hebrews|2:4  God also bearing [them] witness, both with signs and
 wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according
 to his own will?
   Hebrews|2:5  For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world
 to come, whereof we speak.
   Hebrews|2:6  But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man,
 that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
   Hebrews|2:7  Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou
 crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of
 thy hands:

   Hebrews|2:8  Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For
 in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is] not
 put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
   Hebrews|2:9  But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the
 angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he
 by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
   Hebrews|2:10  For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom
 [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of
 their salvation perfect through sufferings.
   Hebrews|2:11  For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified
 [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
   Hebrews|2:12  Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the
 midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
   Hebrews|2:13  And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I
 and the children which God hath given me.
   Hebrews|2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and
 blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death
 he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
   Hebrews|2:15  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their
 lifetime subject to bondage.
   Hebrews|2:16  For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but

 he took on [him] the seed of Abraham.
   Hebrews|2:17  Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto
 [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in
 things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the
 people.
   Hebrews|2:18  For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is
 able to succour them that are tempted.
   Hebrews|3:1  Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,
 consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
   Hebrews|3:2  Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses
 [was faithful] in all his house.
   Hebrews|3:3  For this [man] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses,
 inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
   Hebrews|3:4  For every house is builded by some [man]; but he that built
 all things [is] God.
   Hebrews|3:5  And Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house, as a
 servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
   Hebrews|3:6  But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we,
 if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the
 end.
   Hebrews|3:7  Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear

 his voice,
   Hebrews|3:8  Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of
 temptation in the wilderness:
   Hebrews|3:9  When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works
 forty years.
   Hebrews|3:10  Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said,
 They do alway err in [their] heart; and they have not known my ways.
   Hebrews|3:11  So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
   Hebrews|3:12  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil
 heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
   Hebrews|3:13  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day;
 lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
   Hebrews|3:14  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the
 beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
   Hebrews|3:15  While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden
 not your hearts, as in the provocation.
   Hebrews|3:16  For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all
 that came out of Egypt by Moses.
   Hebrews|3:17  But with whom was he grieved forty years? [was it] not with
 them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
   Hebrews|3:18  And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his

 rest, but to them that believed not?
   Hebrews|3:19  So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
   Hebrews|4:1  Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left [us] of
 entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
   Hebrews|4:2  For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them:
 but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in
 them that heard [it].
   Hebrews|4:3  For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said,
 As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the
 works were finished from the foundation of the world.
   Hebrews|4:4  For he spake in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this
 wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
   Hebrews|4:5  And in this [place] again, If they shall enter into my rest.
   Hebrews|4:6  Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein,
 and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
   Hebrews|4:7  Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day,
 after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice,
 harden not your hearts.
   Hebrews|4:8  For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not
 afterward have spoken of another day.
   Hebrews|4:9  There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

   Hebrews|4:10  For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased
 from his own works, as God [did] from his.
   Hebrews|4:11  Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any
 man fall after the same example of unbelief.
   Hebrews|4:12  For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper
 than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
 spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts
 and intents of the heart.
   Hebrews|4:13  Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his
 sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom
 we have to do.
   Hebrews|4:14  Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is
 passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our]
 profession.
   Hebrews|4:15  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with
 the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we
 are, yet] without sin.
   Hebrews|4:16  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that
 we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
   Hebrews|5:1  For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for
 men in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and

 sacrifices for sins:
   Hebrews|5:2  Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that
 are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
   Hebrews|5:3  And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also
 for himself, to offer for sins.
   Hebrews|5:4  And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is
 called of God, as [was] Aaron.
   Hebrews|5:5  So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high
 priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten
 thee.
   Hebrews|5:6  As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for
 ever after the order of Melchisedec.
   Hebrews|5:7  Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers
 and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to
 save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
   Hebrews|5:8  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things
 which he suffered;
   Hebrews|5:9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal
 salvation unto all them that obey him;
   Hebrews|5:10  Called of God an high priest after the order of
 Melchisedec.

   Hebrews|5:11  Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered,
 seeing ye are dull of hearing.
   Hebrews|5:12  For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need
 that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of
 God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
   Hebrews|5:13  For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of
 righteousness: for he is a babe.
   Hebrews|5:14  But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age,
 [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern
 both good and evil.
   Hebrews|6:1  Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ,
 let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance
 from dead works, and of faith toward God,
   Hebrews|6:2  Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and
 of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
   Hebrews|6:3  And this will we do, if God permit.
   Hebrews|6:4  For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened,
 and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy
 Ghost,
   Hebrews|6:5  And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the
 world to come,

   Hebrews|6:6  If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto
 repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and
 put [him] to an open shame.
   Hebrews|6:7  For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft
 upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed,
 receiveth blessing from God:
   Hebrews|6:8  But that which beareth thorns and briers [is] rejected, and
 [is] nigh unto cursing; whose end [is] to be burned.
   Hebrews|6:9  But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and
 things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
   Hebrews|6:10  For God [is] not unrighteous to forget your work and labour
 of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered
 to the saints, and do minister.
   Hebrews|6:11  And we desire that every one of you do show the same
 diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
   Hebrews|6:12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through
 faith and patience inherit the promises.
   Hebrews|6:13  For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could
 swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
   Hebrews|6:14  Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying
 I will multiply thee.

   Hebrews|6:15  And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the
 promise.
   Hebrews|6:16  For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for
 confirmation [is] to them an end of all strife.
   Hebrews|6:17  Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs
 of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed [it] by an oath:
   Hebrews|6:18  That by two immutable things, in which [it was] impossible
 for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for
 refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
   Hebrews|6:19  Which [hope] we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure
 and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
   Hebrews|6:20  Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus,
 made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
   Hebrews|7:1  For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high
 God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed
 him;
   Hebrews|7:2  To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being
 by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem,
 which is, King of peace;
   Hebrews|7:3  Without father, without mother, without descent, having
 neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of

 God; abideth a priest continually.
   Hebrews|7:4  Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the
 patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
   Hebrews|7:5  And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive
 the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the
 people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come
 out of the loins of Abraham:
   Hebrews|7:6  But he whose descent is not counted from them received
 tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
   Hebrews|7:7  And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the
 better.
   Hebrews|7:8  And here men that die receive tithes; but there he
 [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
   Hebrews|7:9  And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed
 tithes in Abraham.
   Hebrews|7:10  For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec
 met him.
   Hebrews|7:11  If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood,
 (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there]
 that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be
 called after the order of Aaron?

   Hebrews|7:12  For the priesthood being changed, there is made of
 necessity a change also of the law.
   Hebrews|7:13  For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to
 another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
   Hebrews|7:14  For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of
 which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
   Hebrews|7:15  And it is yet far more evident: for that after the
 similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
   Hebrews|7:16  Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but
 after the power of an endless life.
   Hebrews|7:17  For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the
 order of Melchisedec.
   Hebrews|7:18  For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going
 before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
   Hebrews|7:19  For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a
 better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
   Hebrews|7:20  And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]:
   Hebrews|7:21  (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with
 an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou
 [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
   Hebrews|7:22  By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

   Hebrews|7:23  And they truly were many priests, because they were not
 suffered to continue by reason of death:
   Hebrews|7:24  But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an
 unchangeable priesthood.
   Hebrews|7:25  Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost
 that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for
 them.
   Hebrews|7:26  For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless,
 undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
   Hebrews|7:27  Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up
 sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he
 did once, when he offered up himself.
   Hebrews|7:28  For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity;
 but the word of the oath, which was since the law, [maketh] the Son, who is
 consecrated for evermore.
   Hebrews|8:1  Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the sum: We
 have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the
 Majesty in the heavens;
   Hebrews|8:2  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle,
 which the Lord pitched, and not man.
   Hebrews|8:3  For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and

 sacrifices: wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man have somewhat also
 to offer.
   Hebrews|8:4  For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing
 that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
   Hebrews|8:5  Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as
 Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for,
 See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern showed
 to thee in the mount.
   Hebrews|8:6  But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how
 much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established
 upon better promises.
   Hebrews|8:7  For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should
 no place have been sought for the second.
   Hebrews|8:8  For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days
 come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of
 Israel and with the house of Judah:
   Hebrews|8:9  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
 in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of
 Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not,
 saith the Lord.
   Hebrews|8:10  For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house

 of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their
 mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
 shall be to me a people:
   Hebrews|8:11  And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every
 man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the
 least to the greatest.
   Hebrews|8:12  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their
 sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
   Hebrews|8:13  In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first
 old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.
   Hebrews|9:1  Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances of
 divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
   Hebrews|9:2  For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein [was]
 the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the
 sanctuary.
   Hebrews|9:3  And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called
 the Holiest of all;
   Hebrews|9:4  Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant
 overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] the golden pot that had
 manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
   Hebrews|9:5  And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat;

 of which we cannot now speak particularly.
   Hebrews|9:6  Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went
 always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God].
   Hebrews|9:7  But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every
 year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and [for] the errors
 of the people:
   Hebrews|9:8  The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the
 holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was
 yet standing:
   Hebrews|9:9  Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which
 were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did
 the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
   Hebrews|9:10  [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers
 washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of
 reformation.
   Hebrews|9:11  But Christ being come an high priest of good things to
 come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that
 is to say, not of this building;
   Hebrews|9:12  Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own
 blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal
 redemption [for us].

   Hebrews|9:13  For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an
 heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
   Hebrews|9:14  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the
 eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience
 from dead works to serve the living God?
   Hebrews|9:15  And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament,
 that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that
 were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the
 promise of eternal inheritance.
   Hebrews|9:16  For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be
 the death of the testator.
   Hebrews|9:17  For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise
 it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
   Hebrews|9:18  Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated
 without blood.
   Hebrews|9:19  For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people
 according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water,
 and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the
 people,
   Hebrews|9:20  Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath
 enjoined unto you.

   Hebrews|9:21  Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and
 all the vessels of the ministry.
   Hebrews|9:22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and
 without shedding of blood is no remission.
   Hebrews|9:23  [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in
 the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things
 themselves with better sacrifices than these.
   Hebrews|9:24  For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with
 hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to
 appear in the presence of God for us:
   Hebrews|9:25  Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high
 priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
   Hebrews|9:26  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation
 of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put
 away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
   Hebrews|9:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this
 the judgment:
   Hebrews|9:28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and
 unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin
 unto salvation.
   Hebrews|10:1  For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and]

 not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which
 they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
   Hebrews|10:2  For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because
 that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of
 sins.
   Hebrews|10:3  But in those [sacrifices there is] a remembrance again
 [made] of sins every year.
   Hebrews|10:4  For [it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of
 goats should take away sins.
   Hebrews|10:5  Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith,
 Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
   Hebrews|10:6  In burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou hast had
 no pleasure.
   Hebrews|10:7  Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is
 written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
   Hebrews|10:8  Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt
 offerings and [offering] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure
 [therein]; which are offered by the law;
   Hebrews|10:9  Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh
 away the first, that he may establish the second.
   Hebrews|10:10  By the which will we are sanctified through the offering

 of the body of Jesus Christ once [for all].
   Hebrews|10:11  And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering
 oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
   Hebrews|10:12  But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins
 for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
   Hebrews|10:13  From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his
 footstool.
   Hebrews|10:14  For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that
 are sanctified.
   Hebrews|10:15  [Whereof] the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for
 after that he had said before,
   Hebrews|10:16  This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after
 those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in
 their minds will I write them;
   Hebrews|10:17  And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
   Hebrews|10:18  Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more
 offering for sin.
   Hebrews|10:19  Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the
 holiest by the blood of Jesus,
   Hebrews|10:20  By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us,
 through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

   Hebrews|10:21  And [having] an high priest over the house of God;
   Hebrews|10:22  Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of
 faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies
 washed with pure water.
   Hebrews|10:23  Let us hold fast the profession of [our] faith without
 wavering; (for he [is] faithful that promised;)
   Hebrews|10:24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and
 to good works:
   Hebrews|10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the
 manner of some [is]; but exhorting [one another]: and so much the more, as
 ye see the day approaching.
   Hebrews|10:26  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the
 knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
   Hebrews|10:27  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery
 indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
   Hebrews|10:28  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two
 or three witnesses:
   Hebrews|10:29  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be
 thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath
 counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy
 thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

   Hebrews|10:30  For we know him that hath said, Vengeance [belongeth] unto
 me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his
 people.
   Hebrews|10:31  [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the
 living God.
   Hebrews|10:32  But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after
 ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
   Hebrews|10:33  Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by
 reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them
 that were so used.
   Hebrews|10:34  For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully
 the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a
 better and an enduring substance.
   Hebrews|10:35  Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great
 recompense of reward.
   Hebrews|10:36  For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the
 will of God, ye might receive the promise.
   Hebrews|10:37  For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come,
 and will not tarry.
   Hebrews|10:38  Now the just shall live by faith: but if [any man] draw
 back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

   Hebrews|10:39  But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but
 of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
   Hebrews|11:1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
 evidence of things not seen.
   Hebrews|11:2  For by it the elders obtained a good report.
   Hebrews|11:3  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by
 the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things
 which do appear.
   Hebrews|11:4  By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice
 than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God
 testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
   Hebrews|11:5  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death;
 and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his
 translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
   Hebrews|11:6  But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for
 he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder
 of them that diligently seek him.
   Hebrews|11:7  By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as
 yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the
 which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is
 by faith.

   Hebrews|11:8  By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place
 which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out,
 not knowing whither he went.
   Hebrews|11:9  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as [in] a
 strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs
 with him of the same promise:
   Hebrews|11:10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose
 builder and maker [is] God.
   Hebrews|11:11  Through faith also Sara herself received strength to
 conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because
 she judged him faithful who had promised.
   Hebrews|11:12  Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as
 dead, [so many] as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which
 is by the sea shore innumerable.
   Hebrews|11:13  These all died in faith, not having received the promises,
 but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced
 [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
   Hebrews|11:14  For they that say such things declare plainly that they
 seek a country.
   Hebrews|11:15  And truly, if they had been mindful of that [country] from
 whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

   Hebrews|11:16  But now they desire a better [country], that is, an
 heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath
 prepared for them a city.
   Hebrews|11:17  By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and
 he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten [son].
   Hebrews|11:18  Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be
 called:
   Hebrews|11:19  Accounting that God [was] able to raise [him] up, even
 from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
   Hebrews|11:20  By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to
 come.
   Hebrews|11:21  By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons
 of Joseph; and worshipped, [leaning] upon the top of his staff.
   Hebrews|11:22  By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the
 departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his
 bones.
   Hebrews|11:23  By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of
 his parents, because they saw [he was] a proper child; and they were not
 afraid of the king's commandment.
   Hebrews|11:24  By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be
 called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

   Hebrews|11:25  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of
 God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
   Hebrews|11:26  Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the
 treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.
   Hebrews|11:27  By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the
 king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
   Hebrews|11:28  Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of
 blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
   Hebrews|11:29  By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry [land]:
 which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
   Hebrews|11:30  By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were
 compassed about seven days.
   Hebrews|11:31  By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that
 believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
   Hebrews|11:32  And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to
 tell of Gedeon, and [of] Barak, and [of] Samson, and [of] Jephthae; [of]
 David also, and Samuel, and [of] the prophets:
   Hebrews|11:33  Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,
 obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
   Hebrews|11:34  Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the
 sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to

 flight the armies of the aliens.
   Hebrews|11:35  Women received their dead raised to life again: and others
 were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better
 resurrection:
   Hebrews|11:36  And others had trial of [cruel] mockings and scourgings,
 yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
   Hebrews|11:37  They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted,
 were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins;
 being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
   Hebrews|11:38  (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in
 deserts, and [in] mountains, and [in] dens and caves of the earth.
   Hebrews|11:39  And these all, having obtained a good report through
 faith, received not the promise:
   Hebrews|11:40  God having provided some better thing for us, that they
 without us should not be made perfect.
   Hebrews|12:1  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great
 a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth
 so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set
 before us,
   Hebrews|12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith;
 who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the

 shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
   Hebrews|12:3  For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners
 against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
   Hebrews|12:4  Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
   Hebrews|12:5  And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto
 you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord,
 nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
   Hebrews|12:6  For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every
 son whom he receiveth.
   Hebrews|12:7  If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons;
 for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
   Hebrews|12:8  But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are
 partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
   Hebrews|12:9  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which
 corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be
 in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
   Hebrews|12:10  For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their
 own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his
 holiness.
   Hebrews|12:11  Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous,
 but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of

 righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
   Hebrews|12:12  Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the
 feeble knees;
   Hebrews|12:13  And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is
 lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
   Hebrews|12:14  Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which
 no man shall see the Lord:
   Hebrews|12:15  Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God;
 lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be
 defiled;
   Hebrews|12:16  Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as
 Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
   Hebrews|12:17  For ye know how that afterward, when he would have
 inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of
 repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
   Hebrews|12:18  For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched,
 and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
   Hebrews|12:19  And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which
 [voice] they that heard entreated that the word should not be spoken to
 them any more:
   Hebrews|12:20  (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And

 if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust
 through with a dart:
   Hebrews|12:21  And so terrible was the sight, [that] Moses said, I
 exceedingly fear and quake:)
   Hebrews|12:22  But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the
 living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of
 angels,
   Hebrews|12:23  To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which
 are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of
 just men made perfect,
   Hebrews|12:24  And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the
 blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel.
   Hebrews|12:25  See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they
 escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we
 [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:
   Hebrews|12:26  Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath
 promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also
 heaven.
   Hebrews|12:27  And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of
 those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things
 which cannot be shaken may remain.

   Hebrews|12:28  Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved,
 let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and
 godly fear:
   Hebrews|12:29  For our God [is] a consuming fire.
   Hebrews|13:1  Let brotherly love continue.
   Hebrews|13:2  Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some
 have entertained angels unawares.
   Hebrews|13:3  Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; [and]
 them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
   Hebrews|13:4  Marriage [is] honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but
 whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
   Hebrews|13:5  [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be]
 content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave
 thee, nor forsake thee.
   Hebrews|13:6  So that we may boldly say, The Lord [is] my helper, and I
 will not fear what man shall do unto me.
   Hebrews|13:7  Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken
 unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of
 [their] conversation.
   Hebrews|13:8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
   Hebrews|13:9  Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For

 [it is] a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with
 meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
   Hebrews|13:10  We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which
 serve the tabernacle.
   Hebrews|13:11  For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought
 into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
   Hebrews|13:12  Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people
 with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
   Hebrews|13:13  Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp,
 bearing his reproach.
   Hebrews|13:14  For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to
 come.
   Hebrews|13:15  By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to
 God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his
 name.
   Hebrews|13:16  But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with
 such sacrifices God is well pleased.
   Hebrews|13:17  Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit
 yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account,
 that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that [is]
 unprofitable for you.

   Hebrews|13:18  Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in
 all things willing to live honestly.
   Hebrews|13:19  But I beseech [you] the rather to do this, that I may be
 restored to you the sooner.
   Hebrews|13:20  Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our
 Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the
 everlasting covenant,
   Hebrews|13:21  Make you perfect in every good work to do his will,
 working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus
 Christ; to whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen.
   Hebrews|13:22  And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of
 exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
   Hebrews|13:23  Know ye that [our] brother Timothy is set at liberty; with
 whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
   Hebrews|13:24  Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the
 saints. They of Italy salute you.
   Hebrews|13:25  Grace [be] with you all. Amen.
   James|1:1  James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the
 twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
   James|1:2  My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
 temptations;

   James|1:3  Knowing [this], that the trying of your faith worketh
 patience.
   James|1:4  But let patience have [her] perfect work, that ye may be
 perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
   James|1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to
 all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
   James|1:6  But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that
 wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
   James|1:7  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of
 the Lord.
   James|1:8  A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
   James|1:9  Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
   James|1:10  But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower
 of the grass he shall pass away.
   James|1:11  For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it
 withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the
 fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
   James|1:12  Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is
 tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to
 them that love him.
   James|1:13  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for

 God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
   James|1:14  But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own
 lust, and enticed.
   James|1:15  Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and
 sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
   James|1:16  Do not err, my beloved brethren.
   James|1:17  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and
 cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness,
 neither shadow of turning.
   James|1:18  Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we
 should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
   James|1:19  Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to
 hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
   James|1:20  For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
   James|1:21  Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of
 naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to
 save your souls.
   James|1:22  But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
 your own selves.
   James|1:23  For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is
 like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

   James|1:24  For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway
 forgetteth what manner of man he was.
   James|1:25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and
 continueth [therein], he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the
 work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
   James|1:26  If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not
 his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion [is] vain.
   James|1:27  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is
 this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep
 himself unspotted from the world.
   James|2:1  My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the
 Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
   James|2:2  For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring,
 in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
   James|2:3  And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and
 say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand
 thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
   James|2:4  Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges
 of evil thoughts?
   James|2:5  Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of
 this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised

 to them that love him?
   James|2:6  But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you,
 and draw you before the judgment seats?
   James|2:7  Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are
 called?
   James|2:8  If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou
 shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
   James|2:9  But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are
 convinced of the law as transgressors.
   James|2:10  For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
 [point], he is guilty of all.
   James|2:11  For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not
 kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a
 transgressor of the law.
   James|2:12  So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the
 law of liberty.
   James|2:13  For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no
 mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
   James|2:14  What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath
 faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
   James|2:15  If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

   James|2:16  And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed
 and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful
 to the body; what [doth it] profit?
   James|2:17  Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
   James|2:18  Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show
 me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
   James|2:19  Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the
 devils also believe, and tremble.
   James|2:20  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is
 dead?
   James|2:21  Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had
 offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
   James|2:22  Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was
 faith made perfect?
   James|2:23  And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed
 God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the
 Friend of God.
   James|2:24  Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by
 faith only.
   James|2:25  Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works,
 when she had received the messengers, and had sent [them] out another way?

   James|2:26  For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without
 works is dead also.
   James|3:1  My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
 receive the greater condemnation.
   James|3:2  For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in
 word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to bridle the whole
 body.
   James|3:3  Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey
 us; and we turn about their whole body.
   James|3:4  Behold also the ships, which though [they be] so great, and
 [are] driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small
 helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
   James|3:5  Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great
 things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
   James|3:6  And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the
 tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on
 fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
   James|3:7  For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and
 of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
   James|3:8  But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] an unruly evil, full
 of deadly poison.

   James|3:9  Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse
 we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
   James|3:10  Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My
 brethren, these things ought not so to be.
   James|3:11  Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet [water]
 and bitter?
   James|3:12  Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a
 vine, figs? so [can] no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
   James|3:13  Who [is] a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let
 him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
   James|3:14  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts,
 glory not, and lie not against the truth.
   James|3:15  This wisdom descendeth not from above, but [is] earthly,
 sensual, devilish.
   James|3:16  For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and
 every evil work.
   James|3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then
 peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good
 fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
   James|3:18  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that
 make peace.

   James|4:1  From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they]
 not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?
   James|4:2  Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot
 obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
   James|4:3  Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may
 consume [it] upon your lusts.
   James|4:4  Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
 friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a
 friend of the world is the enemy of God.
   James|4:5  Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that
 dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
   James|4:6  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth
 the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
   James|4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he
 will flee from you.
   James|4:8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your]
 hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
   James|4:9  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned
 to mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness.
   James|4:10  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift
 you up.

   James|4:11  Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh
 evil of [his] brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law,
 and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the
 law, but a judge.
   James|4:12  There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy:
 who art thou that judgest another?
   James|4:13  Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into
 such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
   James|4:14  Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what
 [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and
 then vanisheth away.
   James|4:15  For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live,
 and do this, or that.
   James|4:16  But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is
 evil.
   James|4:17  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth [it] not,
 to him it is sin.
   James|5:1  Go to now, [ye] rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that
 shall come upon [you].
   James|5:2  Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
   James|5:3  Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall

 be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have
 heaped treasure together for the last days.
   James|5:4  Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your
 fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them
 which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
   James|5:5  Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye
 have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
   James|5:6  Ye have condemned [and] killed the just; [and] he doth not
 resist you.
   James|5:7  Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.
 Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and
 hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
   James|5:8  Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of
 the Lord draweth nigh.
   James|5:9  Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be
 condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
   James|5:10  Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name
 of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
   James|5:11  Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of
 the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is
 very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

   James|5:12  But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by
 heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea
 be yea; and [your] nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
   James|5:13  Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let
 him sing psalms.
   James|5:14  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the
 church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of
 the Lord:
   James|5:15  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord
 shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven
 him.
   James|5:16  Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for
 another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous
 man availeth much.
   James|5:17  Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he
 prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by
 the space of three years and six months.
   James|5:18  And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth
 brought forth her fruit.
   James|5:19  Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one
 convert him;

   James|5:20  Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the
 error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude
 of sins.
   Peter-1|1:1  Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers
 scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
   Peter-1|1:2  Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,
 through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the
 blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
   Peter-1|1:3  Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
 which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively
 hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
   Peter-1|1:4  To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that
 fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
   Peter-1|1:5  Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto
 salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
   Peter-1|1:6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need
 be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
   Peter-1|1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than
 of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto
 praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
   Peter-1|1:8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see

 [him] not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of
 glory:
   Peter-1|1:9  Receiving the end of your faith, [even] the salvation of
 [your] souls.
   Peter-1|1:10  Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched
 diligently, who prophesied of the grace [that should come] unto you:
   Peter-1|1:11  Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ
 which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings
 of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
   Peter-1|1:12  Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but
 unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by
 them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down
 from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
   Peter-1|1:13  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and
 hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the
 revelation of Jesus Christ;
   Peter-1|1:14  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according
 to the former lusts in your ignorance:
   Peter-1|1:15  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in
 all manner of conversation;
   Peter-1|1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

   Peter-1|1:17  And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of
 persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your
 sojourning [here] in fear:
   Peter-1|1:18  Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with
 corruptible things, [as] silver and gold, from your vain conversation
 [received] by tradition from your fathers;
   Peter-1|1:19  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
 blemish and without spot:
   Peter-1|1:20  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the
 world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
   Peter-1|1:21  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the
 dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
   Peter-1|1:22  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth
 through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love
 one another with a pure heart fervently:
   Peter-1|1:23  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
 incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
   Peter-1|1:24  For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as
 the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth
 away:
   Peter-1|1:25  But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the

 word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
   Peter-1|2:1  Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and
 hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
   Peter-1|2:2  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that
 ye may grow thereby:
   Peter-1|2:3  If so be ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.
   Peter-1|2:4  To whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed
 of men, but chosen of God, [and] precious,
   Peter-1|2:5  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house,
 an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by
 Jesus Christ.
   Peter-1|2:6  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I
 lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on
 him shall not be confounded.
   Peter-1|2:7  Unto you therefore which believe [he is] precious: but unto
 them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the
 same is made the head of the corner,
   Peter-1|2:8  And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to
 them] which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they
 were appointed.
   Peter-1|2:9  But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an

 holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of
 him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
   Peter-1|2:10  Which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the
 people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
   Peter-1|2:11  Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims,
 abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
   Peter-1|2:12  Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that,
 whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by [your] good works,
 which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
   Peter-1|2:13  Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's
 sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
   Peter-1|2:14  Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for
 the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
   Peter-1|2:15  For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put
 to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
   Peter-1|2:16  As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloak of
 maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
   Peter-1|2:17  Honour all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour
 the king.
   Peter-1|2:18  Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not
 only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

   Peter-1|2:19  For this [is] thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward
 God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
   Peter-1|2:20  For what glory [is it], if, when ye be buffeted for your
 faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer
 [for it], ye take it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.
   Peter-1|2:21  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
 suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
   Peter-1|2:22  Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
   Peter-1|2:23  Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
 suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth
 righteously:
   Peter-1|2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
 that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose
 stripes ye were healed.
   Peter-1|2:25  For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned
 unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
   Peter-1|3:1  Likewise, ye wives, [be] in subjection to your own husbands;
 that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by
 the conversation of the wives;
   Peter-1|3:2  While they behold your chaste conversation [coupled] with
 fear.

   Peter-1|3:3  Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of
 plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
   Peter-1|3:4  But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which
 is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which
 is in the sight of God of great price.
   Peter-1|3:5  For after this manner in the old time the holy women also,
 who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own
 husbands:
   Peter-1|3:6  Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose
 daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any
 amazement.
   Peter-1|3:7  Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to
 knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as
 being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not
 hindered.
   Peter-1|3:8  Finally, [be ye] all of one mind, having compassion one of
 another, love as brethren, [be] pitiful, [be] courteous:
   Peter-1|3:9  Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but
 contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should
 inherit a blessing.
   Peter-1|3:10  For he that will love life, and see good days, let him

 refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
   Peter-1|3:11  Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and
 ensue it.
   Peter-1|3:12  For the eyes of the Lord [are] over the righteous, and his
 ears [are open] unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord [is] against
 them that do evil.
   Peter-1|3:13  And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of
 that which is good?
   Peter-1|3:14  But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy [are
 ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
   Peter-1|3:15  But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready
 always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the
 hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
   Peter-1|3:16  Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of
 you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good
 conversation in Christ.
   Peter-1|3:17  For [it is] better, if the will of God be so, that ye
 suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
   Peter-1|3:18  For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for
 the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh,
 but quickened by the Spirit:

   Peter-1|3:19  By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in
 prison;
   Peter-1|3:20  Which sometime were disobedient, when once the
 longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a
 preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
   Peter-1|3:21  The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save
 us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a
 good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
   Peter-1|3:22  Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
 angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
   Peter-1|4:1  Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh,
 arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in
 the flesh hath ceased from sin;
   Peter-1|4:2  That he no longer should live the rest of [his] time in the
 flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
   Peter-1|4:3  For the time past of [our] life may suffice us to have
 wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts,
 excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
   Peter-1|4:4  Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with [them] to
 the same excess of riot, speaking evil of [you]:
   Peter-1|4:5  Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the

 quick and the dead.
   Peter-1|4:6  For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that
 are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live
 according to God in the spirit.
   Peter-1|4:7  But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober,
 and watch unto prayer.
   Peter-1|4:8  And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:
 for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
   Peter-1|4:9  Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
   Peter-1|4:10  As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the
 same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
   Peter-1|4:11  If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God; if
 any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth: that
 God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise
 and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
   Peter-1|4:12  Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial
 which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
   Peter-1|4:13  But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
 sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also
 with exceeding joy.
   Peter-1|4:14  If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy [are ye];

 for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is
 evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
   Peter-1|4:15  But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or [as] a thief,
 or [as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
   Peter-1|4:16  Yet if [any man suffer] as a Christian, let him not be
 ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
   Peter-1|4:17  For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the
 house of God: and if [it] first [begin] at us, what shall the end [be] of
 them that obey not the gospel of God?
   Peter-1|4:18  And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
 ungodly and the sinner appear?
   Peter-1|4:19  Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God
 commit the keeping of their souls [to him] in well doing, as unto a
 faithful Creator.
   Peter-1|5:1  The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an
 elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of
 the glory that shall be revealed:
   Peter-1|5:2  Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the
 oversight [thereof], not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy
 lucre, but of a ready mind;
   Peter-1|5:3  Neither as being lords over [God's] heritage, but being

 ensamples to the flock.
   Peter-1|5:4  And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a
 crown of glory that fadeth not away.
   Peter-1|5:5  Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea,
 all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for
 God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
   Peter-1|5:6  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
 that he may exalt you in due time:
   Peter-1|5:7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
   Peter-1|5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as
 a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
   Peter-1|5:9  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same
 afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
   Peter-1|5:10  But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his
 eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make
 you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].
   Peter-1|5:11  To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
   Peter-1|5:12  By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I
 have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace
 of God wherein ye stand.
   Peter-1|5:13  The [church that is] at Babylon, elected together with

 [you], saluteth you; and [so doth] Marcus my son.
   Peter-1|5:14  Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace [be]
 with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
   Peter-2|1:1  Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to
 them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the
 righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
   Peter-2|1:2  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge
 of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
   Peter-2|1:3  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things
 that [pertain] unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that
 hath called us to glory and virtue:
   Peter-2|1:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious
 promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having
 escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
   Peter-2|1:5  And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith
 virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
   Peter-2|1:6  And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and
 to patience godliness;
   Peter-2|1:7  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly
 kindness charity.
   Peter-2|1:8  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make [you

 that ye shall] neither [be] barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our
 Lord Jesus Christ.
   Peter-2|1:9  But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see
 afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
   Peter-2|1:10  Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your
 calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
   Peter-2|1:11  For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly
 into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
   Peter-2|1:12  Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in
 remembrance of these things, though ye know [them], and be established in
 the present truth.
   Peter-2|1:13  Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle,
 to stir you up by putting [you] in remembrance;
   Peter-2|1:14  Knowing that shortly I must put off [this] my tabernacle,
 even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me.
   Peter-2|1:15  Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my
 decease to have these things always in remembrance.
   Peter-2|1:16  For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we
 made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were
 eyewitnesses of his majesty.
   Peter-2|1:17  For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when

 there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved
 Son, in whom I am well pleased.
   Peter-2|1:18  And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we
 were with him in the holy mount.
   Peter-2|1:19  We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do
 well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until
 the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
   Peter-2|1:20  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of
 any private interpretation.
   Peter-2|1:21  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
 but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.
   Peter-2|2:1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
 there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in
 damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
 themselves swift destruction.
   Peter-2|2:2  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of
 whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
   Peter-2|2:3  And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
 merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and
 their damnation slumbereth not.
   Peter-2|2:4  For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast

 [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be
 reserved unto judgment;
   Peter-2|2:5  And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth
 [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world
 of the ungodly;
   Peter-2|2:6  And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes
 condemned [them] with an overthrow, making [them] an ensample unto those
 that after should live ungodly;
   Peter-2|2:7  And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation
 of the wicked:
   Peter-2|2:8  (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and
 hearing, vexed [his] righteous soul from day to day with [their] unlawful
 deeds;)
   Peter-2|2:9  The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of
 temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be
 punished:
   Peter-2|2:10  But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
 uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous [are they], selfwilled,
 they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
   Peter-2|2:11  Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring
 not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

   Peter-2|2:12  But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and
 destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall
 utterly perish in their own corruption;
   Peter-2|2:13  And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, [as] they
 that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots [they are] and
 blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast
 with you;
   Peter-2|2:14  Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from
 sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous
 practices; cursed children:
   Peter-2|2:15  Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,
 following the way of Balaam [the son] of Bosor, who loved the wages of
 unrighteousness;
   Peter-2|2:16  But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking
 with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
   Peter-2|2:17  These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with
 a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
   Peter-2|2:18  For when they speak great swelling [words] of vanity, they
 allure through the lusts of the flesh, [through much] wantonness, those
 that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
   Peter-2|2:19  While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the

 servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he
 brought in bondage.
   Peter-2|2:20  For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world
 through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again
 entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the
 beginning.
   Peter-2|2:21  For it had been better for them not to have known the way
 of righteousness, than, after they have known [it], to turn from the holy
 commandment delivered unto them.
   Peter-2|2:22  But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb,
 The dog [is] turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to
 her wallowing in the mire.
   Peter-2|3:1  This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in
 [both] which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
   Peter-2|3:2  That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before
 by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord
 and Saviour:
   Peter-2|3:3  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days
 scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
   Peter-2|3:4  And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since
 the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the

 beginning of the creation.
   Peter-2|3:5  For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of
 God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in
 the water:
   Peter-2|3:6  Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with
 water, perished:
   Peter-2|3:7  But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same
 word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and
 perdition of ungodly men.
   Peter-2|3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one
 day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one
 day.
   Peter-2|3:9  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men
 count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any
 should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
   Peter-2|3:10  But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;
 in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
 elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that
 are therein shall be burned up.
   Peter-2|3:11  [Seeing] then [that] all these things shall be dissolved,
 what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy conversation and

 godliness,
   Peter-2|3:12  Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
 wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements
 shall melt with fervent heat?
   Peter-2|3:13  Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new
 heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
   Peter-2|3:14  Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be
 diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
   Peter-2|3:15  And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is]
 salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom
 given unto him hath written unto you;
   Peter-2|3:16  As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these
 things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are
 unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto
 their own destruction.
   Peter-2|3:17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things]
 before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked,
 fall from your own stedfastness.
   Peter-2|3:18  But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and
 Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.
   John-1|1:1  That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which

 we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have
 handled, of the Word of life;
   John-1|1:2  (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear
 witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father,
 and was manifested unto us;)
   John-1|1:3  That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that
 ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the
 Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
   John-1|1:4  And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be
 full.
   John-1|1:5  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
 declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
   John-1|1:6  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in
 darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
   John-1|1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have
 fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
 cleanseth us from all sin.
   John-1|1:8  If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the
 truth is not in us.
   John-1|1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
 [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

   John-1|1:10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and
 his word is not in us.
   John-1|2:1  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye
 sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus
 Christ the righteous:
   John-1|2:2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours
 only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.
   John-1|2:3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
 commandments.
   John-1|2:4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments,
 is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
   John-1|2:5  But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
 perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
   John-1|2:6  He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to
 walk, even as he walked.
   John-1|2:7  Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old
 commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the
 word which ye have heard from the beginning.
   John-1|2:8  Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is
 true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light
 now shineth.

   John-1|2:9  He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is
 in darkness even until now.
   John-1|2:10  He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there
 is none occasion of stumbling in him.
   John-1|2:11  But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh
 in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath
 blinded his eyes.
   John-1|2:12  I write unto you, little children, because your sins are
 forgiven you for his name's sake.
   John-1|2:13  I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him [that
 is] from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have
 overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have
 known the Father.
   John-1|2:14  I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him
 [that is] from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because
 ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the
 wicked one.
   John-1|2:15  Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the
 world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
   John-1|2:16  For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and
 the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is

 of the world.
   John-1|2:17  And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he
 that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
   John-1|2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard
 that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we
 know that it is the last time.
   John-1|2:19  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they
 had been of us, they would [no doubt] have continued with us: but [they
 went out], that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
   John-1|2:20  But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all
 things.
   John-1|2:21  I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth,
 but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
   John-1|2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
 He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
   John-1|2:23  Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:
 [(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].
   John-1|2:24  Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from
 the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain
 in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
   John-1|2:25  And this is the promise that he hath promised us, [even]

 eternal life.
   John-1|2:26  These [things] have I written unto you concerning them that
 seduce you.
   John-1|2:27  But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in
 you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing
 teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it
 hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
   John-1|2:28  And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall
 appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his
 coming.
   John-1|2:29  If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that
 doeth righteousness is born of him.
   John-1|3:1  Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
 that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us
 not, because it knew him not.
   John-1|3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
 appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
 be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
   John-1|3:3  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
 even as he is pure.
   John-1|3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin

 is the transgression of the law.
   John-1|3:5  And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and
 in him is no sin.
   John-1|3:6  Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath
 not seen him, neither known him.
   John-1|3:7  Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth
 righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
   John-1|3:8  He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth
 from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he
 might destroy the works of the devil.
   John-1|3:9  Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
 remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
   John-1|3:10  In this the children of God are manifest, and the children
 of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he
 that loveth not his brother.
   John-1|3:11  For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning,
 that we should love one another.
   John-1|3:12  Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his
 brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and
 his brother's righteous.
   John-1|3:13  Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

   John-1|3:14  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we
 love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death.
   John-1|3:15  Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that
 no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
   John-1|3:16  Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down
 his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.
   John-1|3:17  But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have
 need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the
 love of God in him?
   John-1|3:18  My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
 tongue; but in deed and in truth.
   John-1|3:19  And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall
 assure our hearts before him.
   John-1|3:20  For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart,
 and knoweth all things.
   John-1|3:21  Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we
 confidence toward God.
   John-1|3:22  And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep
 his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
   John-1|3:23  And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the
 name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us

 commandment.
   John-1|3:24  And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he
 in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he
 hath given us.
   John-1|4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
 whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the
 world.
   John-1|4:2  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that
 confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
   John-1|4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is
 come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist,
 whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in
 the world.
   John-1|4:4  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them:
 because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
   John-1|4:5  They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and
 the world heareth them.
   John-1|4:6  We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not
 of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit
 of error.
   John-1|4:7  Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and

 every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
   John-1|4:8  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
   John-1|4:9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because
 that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live
 through him.
   John-1|4:10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
 and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.
   John-1|4:11  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one
 another.
   John-1|4:12  No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another,
 God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
   John-1|4:13  Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because
 he hath given us of his Spirit.
   John-1|4:14  And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son
 [to be] the Saviour of the world.
   John-1|4:15  Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God
 dwelleth in him, and he in God.
   John-1|4:16  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.
 God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
   John-1|4:17  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness
 in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

   John-1|4:18  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
 because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
   John-1|4:19  We love him, because he first loved us.
   John-1|4:20  If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a
 liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love
 God whom he hath not seen?
   John-1|4:21  And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth
 God love his brother also.
   John-1|5:1  Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God:
 and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten
 of him.
   John-1|5:2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we
 love God, and keep his commandments.
   John-1|5:3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments:
 and his commandments are not grievous.
   John-1|5:4  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this
 is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.
   John-1|5:5  Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth
 that Jesus is the Son of God?
   John-1|5:6  This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ;
 not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that

 beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
   John-1|5:7  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
 the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
   John-1|5:8  And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit,
 and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
   John-1|5:9  If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is
 greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
   John-1|5:10  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in
 himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he
 believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
   John-1|5:11  And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal
 life, and this life is in his Son.
   John-1|5:12  He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the
 Son of God hath not life.
   John-1|5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the
 name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and
 that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
   John-1|5:14  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we
 ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
   John-1|5:15  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know
 that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

   John-1|5:16  If any man see his brother sin a sin [which is] not unto
 death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto
 death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
   John-1|5:17  All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto
 death.
   John-1|5:18  We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he
 that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him
 not.
   John-1|5:19  [And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth
 in wickedness.
   John-1|5:20  And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us
 an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that
 is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal
 life.
   John-1|5:21  Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
   John-2|1:1  The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love
 in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
   John-2|1:2  For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with
 us for ever.
   John-2|1:3  Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father,
 and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

   John-2|1:4  I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in
 truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
   John-2|1:5  And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new
 commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we
 love one another.
   John-2|1:6  And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This
 is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should
 walk in it.
   John-2|1:7  For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess
 not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an
 antichrist.
   John-2|1:8  Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we
 have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
   John-2|1:9  Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of
 Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath
 both the Father and the Son.
   John-2|1:10  If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine,
 receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed:
   John-2|1:11  For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil
 deeds.
   John-2|1:12  Having many things to write unto you, I would not [write]

 with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face,
 that our joy may be full.
   John-2|1:13  The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
   John-3|1:1  The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the
 truth.
   John-3|1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and
 be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
   John-3|1:3  For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified
 of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
   John-3|1:4  I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in
 truth.
   John-3|1:5  Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the
 brethren, and to strangers;
   John-3|1:6  Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church:
 whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt
 do well:
   John-3|1:7  Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking
 nothing of the Gentiles.
   John-3|1:8  We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be
 fellowhelpers to the truth.
   John-3|1:9  I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have

 the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
   John-3|1:10  Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he
 doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith,
 neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that
 would, and casteth [them] out of the church.
   John-3|1:11  Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is
 good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen
 God.
   John-3|1:12  Demetrius hath good report of all [men], and of the truth
 itself: yea, and we [also] bear record; and ye know that our record is
 true.
   John-3|1:13  I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen
 write unto thee:
   John-3|1:14  But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak
 face to face. Peace [be] to thee. [Our] friends salute thee. Greet the
 friends by name.
   Jude|1:1  Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to
 them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ,
 [and] called:
   Jude|1:2  Mercy unto you, and peace and love, be multiplied.
   Jude|1:3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the

 common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you]
 that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered
 unto the saints.
   Jude|1:4  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of
 old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our
 God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus
 Christ.
   Jude|1:5  I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew
 this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
 afterward destroyed them that believed not.
   Jude|1:6  And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left
 their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
 unto the judgment of the great day.
   Jude|1:7  Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like
 manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange
 flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal
 fire.
   Jude|1:8  Likewise also these [filthy] dreamers defile the flesh, despise
 dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
   Jude|1:9  Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
 disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing

 accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
   Jude|1:10  But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but
 what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt
 themselves.
   Jude|1:11  Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran
 greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the
 gainsaying of Core.
   Jude|1:12  These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast
 with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water,
 carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice
 dead, plucked up by the roots;
   Jude|1:13  Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame;
 wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
   Jude|1:14  And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these,
 saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
   Jude|1:15  To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are
 ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly
 committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have
 spoken against him.
   Jude|1:16  These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own
 lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling [words], having men's

 persons in admiration because of advantage.
   Jude|1:17  But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before
 of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
   Jude|1:18  How that they told you there should be mockers in the last
 time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
   Jude|1:19  These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the
 Spirit.
   Jude|1:20  But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
 faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
   Jude|1:21  Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of
 our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
   Jude|1:22  And of some have compassion, making a difference:
   Jude|1:23  And others save with fear, pulling [them] out of the fire;
 hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
   Jude|1:24  Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to
 present [you] faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding
 joy,
   Jude|1:25  To the only wise God our Saviour, [be] glory and majesty,
 dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen.
   Revelations|1:1  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him,
 to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he

 sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:
   Revelations|1:2  Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony
 of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
   Revelations|1:3  Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the
 words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein:
 for the time [is] at hand.
   Revelations|1:4  John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be]
 unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to
 come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
   Revelations|1:5  And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness,
 [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the
 earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
 blood,
   Revelations|1:6  And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his
 Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
   Revelations|1:7  Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see
 him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall
 wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
   Revelations|1:8  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,
 saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the
 Almighty.

   Revelations|1:9  I John, who also am your brother, and companion in
 tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the
 isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of
 Jesus Christ.
   Revelations|1:10  I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind
 me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
   Revelations|1:11  Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last:
 and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven
 churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto
 Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and
 unto Laodicea.
   Revelations|1:12  And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And
 being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
   Revelations|1:13  And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like
 unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt
 about the paps with a golden girdle.
   Revelations|1:14  His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as
 white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
   Revelations|1:15  And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in
 a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
   Revelations|1:16  And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of

 his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun
 shineth in his strength.
   Revelations|1:17  And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he
 laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and
 the last:
   Revelations|1:18  I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am
 alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
   Revelations|1:19  Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things
 which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
   Revelations|1:20  The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my
 right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the
 angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest
 are the seven churches.
   Revelations|2:1  Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These
 things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh
 in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
   Revelations|2:2  I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and
 how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which
 say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
   Revelations|2:3  And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's
 sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

   Revelations|2:4  Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because
 thou hast left thy first love.
   Revelations|2:5  Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and
 repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and
 will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
   Revelations|2:6  But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the
 Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
   Revelations|2:7  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
 unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of
 life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
   Revelations|2:8  And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These
 things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
   Revelations|2:9  I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but
 thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews,
 and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.
   Revelations|2:10  Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer:
 behold, the devil shall cast [some] of you into prison, that ye may be
 tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death,
 and I will give thee a crown of life.
   Revelations|2:11  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
 unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second

 death.
   Revelations|2:12  And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These
 things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
   Revelations|2:13  I know thy works and where thou dwellest, [even] where
 Satan's seat [is]: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my
 faith, even in those days wherein Antipas [was] my faithful martyr, who was
 slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
   Revelations|2:14  But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast
 there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a
 stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto
 idols, and to commit fornication.
   Revelations|2:15  So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the
 Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
   Revelations|2:16  Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will
 fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
   Revelations|2:17  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
 unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden
 manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name
 written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].
   Revelations|2:18  And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write;
 These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of

 fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
   Revelations|2:19  I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith,
 and thy patience, and thy works; and the last [to be] more than the first.
   Revelations|2:20  Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,
 because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a
 prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and
 to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
   Revelations|2:21  And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and
 she repented not.
   Revelations|2:22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that
 commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of
 their deeds.
   Revelations|2:23  And I will kill her children with death; and all the
 churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and
 I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
   Revelations|2:24  But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as
 many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of
 Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
   Revelations|2:25  But that which ye have [already] hold fast till I come.
   Revelations|2:26  And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the
 end, to him will I give power over the nations:

   Revelations|2:27  And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the
 vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of
 my Father.
   Revelations|2:28  And I will give him the morning star.
   Revelations|2:29  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
 unto the churches.
   Revelations|3:1  And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These
 things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I
 know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
   Revelations|3:2  Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain,
 that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
   Revelations|3:3  Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and
 hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on
 thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
   Revelations|3:4  Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not
 defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are
 worthy.
   Revelations|3:5  He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white
 raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I
 will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
   Revelations|3:6  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith

 unto the churches.
   Revelations|3:7  And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write;
 These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key
 of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man
 openeth;
   Revelations|3:8  I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open
 door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast
 kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
   Revelations|3:9  Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan,
 which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them
 to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
   Revelations|3:10  Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also
 will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the
 world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
   Revelations|3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast,
 that no man take thy crown.
   Revelations|3:12  Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple
 of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name
 of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem,
 which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my
 new name.

   Revelations|3:13  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
 unto the churches.
   Revelations|3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans
 write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the
 beginning of the creation of God;
   Revelations|3:15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I
 would thou wert cold or hot.
   Revelations|3:16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor
 hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
   Revelations|3:17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with
 goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched,
 and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
   Revelations|3:18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
 that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed,
 and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes
 with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
   Revelations|3:19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
 therefore, and repent.
   Revelations|3:20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear
 my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him,
 and he with me.

   Revelations|3:21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in
 my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his
 throne.
   Revelations|3:22  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith
 unto the churches.
   Revelations|4:1  After this I looked, and, behold, a door [was] opened in
 heaven: and the first voice which I heard [was] as it were of a trumpet
 talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things
 which must be hereafter.
   Revelations|4:2  And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a
 throne was set in heaven, and [one] sat on the throne.
   Revelations|4:3  And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a
 sardine stone: and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, in sight
 like unto an emerald.
   Revelations|4:4  And round about the throne [were] four and twenty seats:
 and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white
 raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
   Revelations|4:5  And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and
 thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before
 the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
   Revelations|4:6  And before the throne [there was] a sea of glass like

 unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne,
 [were] four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
   Revelations|4:7  And the first beast [was] like a lion, and the second
 beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth
 beast [was] like a flying eagle.
   Revelations|4:8  And the four beasts had each of them six wings about
 [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and
 night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and
 is to come.
   Revelations|4:9  And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks
 to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
   Revelations|4:10  The four and twenty elders fall down before him that
 sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast
 their crowns before the throne, saying,
   Revelations|4:11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour
 and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are
 and were created.
   Revelations|5:1  And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the
 throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
   Revelations|5:2  And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,
 Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

   Revelations|5:3  And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the
 earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
   Revelations|5:4  And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open
 and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
   Revelations|5:5  And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold,
 the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open
 the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
   Revelations|5:6  And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of
 the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had
 been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits
 of God sent forth into all the earth.
   Revelations|5:7  And he came and took the book out of the right hand of
 him that sat upon the throne.
   Revelations|5:8  And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four
 [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them
 harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
   Revelations|5:9  And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to
 take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast
 redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and
 people, and nation;
   Revelations|5:10  And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we

 shall reign on the earth.
   Revelations|5:11  And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels
 round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of
 them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
   Revelations|5:12  Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was
 slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour,
 and glory, and blessing.
   Revelations|5:13  And every creature which is in heaven, and on the
 earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in
 them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto
 him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
   Revelations|5:14  And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and]
 twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
   Revelations|6:1  And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I
 heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come
 and see.
   Revelations|6:2  And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on
 him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth
 conquering, and to conquer.
   Revelations|6:3  And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the
 second beast say, Come and see.

   Revelations|6:4  And there went out another horse [that was] red: and
 [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and
 that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great
 sword.
   Revelations|6:5  And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third
 beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that
 sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
   Revelations|6:6  And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,
 A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny;
 and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
   Revelations|6:7  And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the
 voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
   Revelations|6:8  And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that
 sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto
 them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with
 hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
   Revelations|6:9  And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the
 altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the
 testimony which they held:
   Revelations|6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O
 Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that

 dwell on the earth?
   Revelations|6:11  And white robes were given unto every one of them; and
 it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until
 their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they
 [were], should be fulfilled.
   Revelations|6:12  And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and,
 lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of
 hair, and the moon became as blood;
   Revelations|6:13  And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a
 fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
   Revelations|6:14  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
 together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
   Revelations|6:15  And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the
 rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman,
 and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the
 mountains;
   Revelations|6:16  And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and
 hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath
 of the Lamb:
   Revelations|6:17  For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall
 be able to stand?

   Revelations|7:1  And after these things I saw four angels standing on the
 four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the
 wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
   Revelations|7:2  And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having
 the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four
 angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
   Revelations|7:3  Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the
 trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
   Revelations|7:4  And I heard the number of them which were sealed: [and
 there were] sealed an hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand of all the
 tribes of the children of Israel.
   Revelations|7:5  Of the tribe of Juda [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of
 the tribe of Reuben [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad
 [were] sealed twelve thousand.
   Revelations|7:6  Of the tribe of Aser [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of
 the tribe of Nephthalim [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
 Manasses [were] sealed twelve thousand.
   Revelations|7:7  Of the tribe of Simeon [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of
 the tribe of Levi [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar
 [were] sealed twelve thousand.
   Revelations|7:8  Of the tribe of Zabulon [were] sealed twelve thousand.

 Of the tribe of Joseph [were] sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of
 Benjamin [were] sealed twelve thousand.
   Revelations|7:9  After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which
 no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues,
 stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and
 palms in their hands;
   Revelations|7:10  And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our
 God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
   Revelations|7:11  And all the angels stood round about the throne, and
 [about] the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their
 faces, and worshipped God,
   Revelations|7:12  Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
 thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, [be] unto our God for ever
 and ever. Amen.
   Revelations|7:13  And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What
 are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
   Revelations|7:14  And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to
 me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed
 their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
   Revelations|7:15  Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve
 him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall

 dwell among them.
   Revelations|7:16  They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more;
 neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
   Revelations|7:17  For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall
 feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God
 shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
   Revelations|8:1  And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was
 silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
   Revelations|8:2  And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and
 to them were given seven trumpets.
   Revelations|8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a
 golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should
 offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was
 before the throne.
   Revelations|8:4  And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the
 prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
   Revelations|8:5  And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire
 of the altar, and cast [it] into the earth: and there were voices, and
 thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
   Revelations|8:6  And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets
 prepared themselves to sound.

   Revelations|8:7  The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and
 fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third
 part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
   Revelations|8:8  And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great
 mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the
 sea became blood;
   Revelations|8:9  And the third part of the creatures which were in the
 sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
   Revelations|8:10  And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great
 star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third
 part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
   Revelations|8:11  And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the
 third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters,
 because they were made bitter.
   Revelations|8:12  And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the
 sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the
 stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for
 a third part of it, and the night likewise.
   Revelations|8:13  And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the
 midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters
 of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three

 angels, which are yet to sound!
   Revelations|9:1  And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from
 heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
   Revelations|9:2  And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a
 smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the
 air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
   Revelations|9:3  And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth:
 and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
   Revelations|9:4  And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the
 grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only
 those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
   Revelations|9:5  And to them it was given that they should not kill them,
 but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as
 the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
   Revelations|9:6  And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not
 find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
   Revelations|9:7  And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses
 prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like
 gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.
   Revelations|9:8  And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth
 were as [the teeth] of lions.

   Revelations|9:9  And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of
 iron; and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many
 horses running to battle.
   Revelations|9:10  And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were
 stings in their tails: and their power [was] to hurt men five months.
   Revelations|9:11  And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of
 the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in
 the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.
   Revelations|9:12  One woe is past; [and], behold, there come two woes
 more hereafter.
   Revelations|9:13  And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from
 the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
   Revelations|9:14  Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose
 the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
   Revelations|9:15  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared
 for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part
 of men.
   Revelations|9:16  And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two
 hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
   Revelations|9:17  And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that
 sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone:

 and the heads of the horses [were] as the heads of lions; and out of their
 mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
   Revelations|9:18  By these three was the third part of men killed, by the
 fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their
 mouths.
   Revelations|9:19  For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails:
 for their tails [were] like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them
 they do hurt.
   Revelations|9:20  And the rest of the men which were not killed by these
 plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not
 worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of
 wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
   Revelations|9:21  Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their
 sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
   Revelations|10:1  And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,
 clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his head, and his face [was]
 as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
   Revelations|10:2  And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set
 his right foot upon the sea, and [his] left [foot] on the earth,
   Revelations|10:3  And cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth:
 and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

   Revelations|10:4  And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I
 was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up
 those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
   Revelations|10:5  And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon
 the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
   Revelations|10:6  And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who
 created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the
 things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein,
 that there should be time no longer:
   Revelations|10:7  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when
 he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath
 declared to his servants the prophets.
   Revelations|10:8  And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me
 again, and said, Go [and] take the little book which is open in the hand of
 the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
   Revelations|10:9  And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me
 the little book. And he said unto me, Take [it], and eat it up; and it
 shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
   Revelations|10:10  And I took the little book out of the angel's hand,
 and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had
 eaten it, my belly was bitter.

   Revelations|10:11  And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before
 many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
   Revelations|11:1  And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the
 angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar,
 and them that worship therein.
   Revelations|11:2  But the court which is without the temple leave out,
 and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city
 shall they tread under foot forty [and] two months.
   Revelations|11:3  And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they
 shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in
 sackcloth.
   Revelations|11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks
 standing before the God of the earth.
   Revelations|11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of
 their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he
 must in this manner be killed.
   Revelations|11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in
 the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to
 blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
   Revelations|11:7  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the
 beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them,

 and shall overcome them, and kill them.
   Revelations|11:8  And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the
 great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our
 Lord was crucified.
   Revelations|11:9  And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and
 nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not
 suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
   Revelations|11:10  And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over
 them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these
 two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
   Revelations|11:11  And after three days and an half the Spirit of life
 from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear
 fell upon them which saw them.
   Revelations|11:12  And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto
 them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their
 enemies beheld them.
   Revelations|11:13  And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and
 the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men
 seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God
 of heaven.
   Revelations|11:14  The second woe is past; [and], behold, the third woe

 cometh quickly.
   Revelations|11:15  And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great
 voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become [the
 kingdoms] of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and
 ever.
   Revelations|11:16  And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God
 on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
   Revelations|11:17  Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
 which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy
 great power, and hast reigned.
   Revelations|11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and
 the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest
 give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them
 that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which
 destroy the earth.
   Revelations|11:19  And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there
 was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings,
 and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
   Revelations|12:1  And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman
 clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a
 crown of twelve stars:

   Revelations|12:2  And she being with child cried, travailing in birth,
 and pained to be delivered.
   Revelations|12:3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold
 a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon
 his heads.
   Revelations|12:4  And his tail drew the third part of the stars of
 heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the
 woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as
 it was born.
   Revelations|12:5  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all
 nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and [to]
 his throne.
   Revelations|12:6  And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath
 a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two
 hundred [and] threescore days.
   Revelations|12:7  And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels
 fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
   Revelations|12:8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any
 more in heaven.
   Revelations|12:9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent,
 called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast

 out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
   Revelations|12:10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come
 salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his
 Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them
 before our God day and night.
   Revelations|12:11  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by
 the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
   Revelations|12:12  Therefore rejoice, [ye] heavens, and ye that dwell in
 them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is
 come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but
 a short time.
   Revelations|12:13  And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the
 earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man [child].
   Revelations|12:14  And to the woman were given two wings of a great
 eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is
 nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the
 serpent.
   Revelations|12:15  And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood
 after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
   Revelations|12:16  And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened
 her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his

 mouth.
   Revelations|12:17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to
 make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God,
 and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
   Revelations|13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast
 rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his
 horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
   Revelations|13:2  And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and
 his feet were as [the feet] of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a
 lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
   Revelations|13:3  And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death;
 and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the
 beast.
   Revelations|13:4  And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto
 the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who [is] like unto the
 beast? who is able to make war with him?
   Revelations|13:5  And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great
 things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty
 [and] two months.
   Revelations|13:6  And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to
 blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

   Revelations|13:7  And it was given unto him to make war with the saints,
 and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and
 tongues, and nations.
   Revelations|13:8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
 whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the
 foundation of the world.
   Revelations|13:9  If any man have an ear, let him hear.
   Revelations|13:10  He that leadeth into captivity shall go into
 captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.
 Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
   Revelations|13:11  And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth;
 and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
   Revelations|13:12  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast
 before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship
 the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
   Revelations|13:13  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire
 come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
   Revelations|13:14  And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the
 means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
 beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an
 image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

   Revelations|13:15  And he had power to give life unto the image of the
 beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as
 many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
   Revelations|13:16  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
 poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
 foreheads:
   Revelations|13:17  And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had
 the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
   Revelations|13:18  Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count
 the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is]
 Six hundred threescore [and] six.
   Revelations|14:1  And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion,
 and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father's name
 written in their foreheads.
   Revelations|14:2  And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many
 waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of
 harpers harping with their harps:
   Revelations|14:3  And they sung as it were a new song before the throne,
 and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that
 song but the hundred [and] forty [and] four thousand, which were redeemed
 from the earth.

   Revelations|14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for
 they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he
 goeth. These were redeemed from among men, [being] the firstfruits unto God
 and to the Lamb.
   Revelations|14:5  And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are
 without fault before the throne of God.
   Revelations|14:6  And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,
 having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth,
 and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
   Revelations|14:7  Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to
 him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made
 heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
   Revelations|14:8  And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is
 fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of
 the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
   Revelations|14:9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud
 voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive [his] mark
 in his forehead, or in his hand,
   Revelations|14:10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
 which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he
 shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy

 angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
   Revelations|14:11  And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever
 and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
 his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
   Revelations|14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they
 that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
   Revelations|14:13  And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
 Blessed [are] the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith
 the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do
 follow them.
   Revelations|14:14  And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the
 cloud [one] sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden
 crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
   Revelations|14:15  And another angel came out of the temple, crying with
 a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap:
 for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is
 ripe.
   Revelations|14:16  And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on
 the earth; and the earth was reaped.
   Revelations|14:17  And another angel came out of the temple which is in
 heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

   Revelations|14:18  And another angel came out from the altar, which had
 power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp
 sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the
 vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
   Revelations|14:19  And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and
 gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [it] into the great winepress of
 the wrath of God.
   Revelations|14:20  And the winepress was trodden without the city, and
 blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space
 of a thousand [and] six hundred furlongs.
   Revelations|15:1  And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous,
 seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the
 wrath of God.
   Revelations|15:2  And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire:
 and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image,
 and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of
 glass, having the harps of God.
   Revelations|15:3  And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and
 the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord
 God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints.
   Revelations|15:4  Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name?

 for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before
 thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
   Revelations|15:5  And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the
 tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
   Revelations|15:6  And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the
 seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts
 girded with golden girdles.
   Revelations|15:7  And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels
 seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
   Revelations|15:8  And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of
 God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till
 the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
   Revelations|16:1  And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to
 the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God
 upon the earth.
   Revelations|16:2  And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the
 earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had
 the mark of the beast, and [upon] them which worshipped his image.
   Revelations|16:3  And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea;
 and it became as the blood of a dead [man]; and every living soul died in
 the sea.

   Revelations|16:4  And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers
 and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
   Revelations|16:5  And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art
 righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast
 judged thus.
   Revelations|16:6  For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
 and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
   Revelations|16:7  And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord
 God Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments.
   Revelations|16:8  And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun;
 and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
   Revelations|16:9  And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed
 the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not
 to give him glory.
   Revelations|16:10  And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat
 of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their
 tongues for pain,
   Revelations|16:11  And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their
 pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
   Revelations|16:12  And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great
 river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the

 kings of the east might be prepared.
   Revelations|16:13  And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out
 of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of
 the mouth of the false prophet.
   Revelations|16:14  For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles,
 [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
 gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
   Revelations|16:15  Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that
 watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
 shame.
   Revelations|16:16  And he gathered them together into a place called in
 the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
   Revelations|16:17  And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the
 air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the
 throne, saying, It is done.
   Revelations|16:18  And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings;
 and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the
 earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.
   Revelations|16:19  And the great city was divided into three parts, and
 the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance
 before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his

 wrath.
   Revelations|16:20  And every island fled away, and the mountains were not
 found.
   Revelations|16:21  And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven,
 [every stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because
 of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
   Revelations|17:1  And there came one of the seven angels which had the
 seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show
 unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
   Revelations|17:2  With whom the kings of the earth have committed
 fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the
 wine of her fornication.
   Revelations|17:3  So he carried me away in the spirit into the
 wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of
 names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
   Revelations|17:4  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour,
 and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in
 her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
   Revelations|17:5  And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY,
 BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
   Revelations|17:6  And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the

 saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I
 wondered with great admiration.
   Revelations|17:7  And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou
 marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that
 carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
   Revelations|17:8  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall
 ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that
 dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book
 of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that
 was, and is not, and yet is.
   Revelations|17:9  And here [is] the mind which hath wisdom. The seven
 heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
   Revelations|17:10  And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one
 is, [and] the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a
 short space.
   Revelations|17:11  And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the
 eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
   Revelations|17:12  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
 which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour
 with the beast.
   Revelations|17:13  These have one mind, and shall give their power and

 strength unto the beast.
   Revelations|17:14  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
 overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that
 are with him [are] called, and chosen, and faithful.
   Revelations|17:15  And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest,
 where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and
 tongues.
   Revelations|17:16  And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast,
 these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and
 shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
   Revelations|17:17  For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will,
 and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God
 shall be fulfilled.
   Revelations|17:18  And the woman which thou sawest is that great city,
 which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
   Revelations|18:1  And after these things I saw another angel come down
 from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his
 glory.
   Revelations|18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,
 Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of
 devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and

 hateful bird.
   Revelations|18:3  For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of
 her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with
 her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of
 her delicacies.
   Revelations|18:4  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out
 of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye
 receive not of her plagues.
   Revelations|18:5  For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath
 remembered her iniquities.
   Revelations|18:6  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto
 her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to
 her double.
   Revelations|18:7  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived
 deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her
 heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
   Revelations|18:8  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and
 mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong
 [is] the Lord God who judgeth her.
   Revelations|18:9  And the kings of the earth, who have committed
 fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament

 for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
   Revelations|18:10  Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying,
 Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is
 thy judgment come.
   Revelations|18:11  And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn
 over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
   Revelations|18:12  The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious
 stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet,
 and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner
 vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
   Revelations|18:13  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and
 frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and
 sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
   Revelations|18:14  And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed
 from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from
 thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
   Revelations|18:15  The merchants of these things, which were made rich by
 her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
   Revelations|18:16  And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was
 clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and
 precious stones, and pearls!

   Revelations|18:17  For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And
 every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as
 trade by sea, stood afar off,
   Revelations|18:18  And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning,
 saying, What [city is] like unto this great city!
   Revelations|18:19  And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping
 and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich
 all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour
 is she made desolate.
   Revelations|18:20  Rejoice over her, [thou] heaven, and [ye] holy
 apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
   Revelations|18:21  And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great
 millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall
 that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
   Revelations|18:22  And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of
 pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no
 craftsman, of whatsoever craft [he be], shall be found any more in thee;
 and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
   Revelations|18:23  And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all
 in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no
 more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for

 by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
   Revelations|18:24  And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of
 saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
   Revelations|19:1  And after these things I heard a great voice of much
 people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and
 power, unto the Lord our God:
   Revelations|19:2  For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he hath
 judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication,
 and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
   Revelations|19:3  And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up
 for ever and ever.
   Revelations|19:4  And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell
 down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
   Revelations|19:5  And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our
 God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
   Revelations|19:6  And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude,
 and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
 saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
   Revelations|19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for
 the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
   Revelations|19:8  And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in

 fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of
 saints.
   Revelations|19:9  And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which
 are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me,
 These are the true sayings of God.
   Revelations|19:10  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said
 unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren
 that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus
 is the spirit of prophecy.
   Revelations|19:11  And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and
 he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness
 he doth judge and make war.
   Revelations|19:12  His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head
 [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he
 himself.
   Revelations|19:13  And he [was] clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
 and his name is called The Word of God.
   Revelations|19:14  And the armies [which were] in heaven followed him
 upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
   Revelations|19:15  And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it
 he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and

 he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
   Revelations|19:16  And he hath on [his] vesture and on his thigh a name
 written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
   Revelations|19:17  And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried
 with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven,
 Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
   Revelations|19:18  That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of
 captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them
 that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both
 small and great.
   Revelations|19:19  And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and
 their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the
 horse, and against his army.
   Revelations|19:20  And the beast was taken, and with him the false
 prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that
 had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.
 These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
   Revelations|19:21  And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that
 sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the
 fowls were filled with their flesh.
   Revelations|20:1  And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the

 key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
   Revelations|20:2  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which
 is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
   Revelations|20:3  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up,
 and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till
 the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a
 little season.
   Revelations|20:4  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment
 was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for
 the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped
 the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his] mark upon their
 foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a
 thousand years.
   Revelations|20:5  But the rest of the dead lived not again until the
 thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
   Revelations|20:6  Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first
 resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be
 priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
   Revelations|20:7  And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be
 loosed out of his prison,
   Revelations|20:8  And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in

 the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to
 battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.
   Revelations|20:9  And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and
 compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came
 down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
   Revelations|20:10  And the devil that deceived them was cast into the
 lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are],
 and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
   Revelations|20:11  And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on
 it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found
 no place for them.
   Revelations|20:12  And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God;
 and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book]
 of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in
 the books, according to their works.
   Revelations|20:13  And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and
 death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were
 judged every man according to their works.
   Revelations|20:14  And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.
 This is the second death.
   Revelations|20:15  And whosoever was not found written in the book of

 life was cast into the lake of fire.
   Revelations|21:1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
 heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
   Revelations|21:2  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming
 down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
   Revelations|21:3  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold,
 the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they
 shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their
 God.
   Revelations|21:4  And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and
 there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
 there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
   Revelations|21:5  And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make
 all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and
 faithful.
   Revelations|21:6  And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega,
 the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the
 fountain of the water of life freely.
   Revelations|21:7  He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will
 be his God, and he shall be my son.
   Revelations|21:8  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable,

 and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all
 liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
 brimstone: which is the second death.
   Revelations|21:9  And there came unto me one of the seven angels which
 had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me,
 saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
   Revelations|21:10  And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and
 high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem,
 descending out of heaven from God,
   Revelations|21:11  Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto
 a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
   Revelations|21:12  And had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates,
 and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are [the
 names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
   Revelations|21:13  On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on
 the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
   Revelations|21:14  And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and
 in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
   Revelations|21:15  And he that talked with me had a golden reed to
 measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
   Revelations|21:16  And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as

 large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve
 thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are
 equal.
   Revelations|21:17  And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and]
 forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of
 the angel.
   Revelations|21:18  And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper:
 and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass.
   Revelations|21:19  And the foundations of the wall of the city [were]
 garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was]
 jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an
 emerald;
   Revelations|21:20  The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
 chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
 chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
   Revelations|21:21  And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls: every
 several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold,
 as it were transparent glass.
   Revelations|21:22  And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty
 and the Lamb are the temple of it.
   Revelations|21:23  And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the

 moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb
 [is] the light thereof.
   Revelations|21:24  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in
 the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour
 into it.
   Revelations|21:25  And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day:
 for there shall be no night there.
   Revelations|21:26  And they shall bring the glory and honour of the
 nations into it.
   Revelations|21:27  And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing
 that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie:
 but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
   Revelations|22:1  And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear
 as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
   Revelations|22:2  In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of
 the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of]
 fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree
 [were] for the healing of the nations.
   Revelations|22:3  And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God
 and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
   Revelations|22:4  And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in

 their foreheads.
   Revelations|22:5  And there shall be no night there; and they need no
 candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and
 they shall reign for ever and ever.
   Revelations|22:6  And he said unto me, These sayings [are] faithful and
 true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his
 servants the things which must shortly be done.
   Revelations|22:7  Behold, I come quickly: blessed [is] he that keepeth
 the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
   Revelations|22:8  And I John saw these things, and heard [them]. And when
 I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel
 which showed me these things.
   Revelations|22:9  Then saith he unto me, See [thou do it] not: for I am
 thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep
 the sayings of this book: worship God.
   Revelations|22:10  And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the
 prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
   Revelations|22:11  He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he
 which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him
 be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
   Revelations|22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with

 me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
   Revelations|22:13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the
 first and the last.
   Revelations|22:14  Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they
 may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into
 the city.
   Revelations|22:15  For without [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and
 whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh
 a lie.
   Revelations|22:16  I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these
 things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, [and] the
 bright and morning star.
   Revelations|22:17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him
 that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever
 will, let him take the water of life freely.
   Revelations|22:18  For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of
 the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God
 shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
   Revelations|22:19  And if any man shall take away from the words of the
 book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of
 life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in
 this book.
   Revelations|22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come
 quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
   Revelations|22:21  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.
 Amen.
