And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the 34 waters And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the li ght, that it was 5 good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it di vide the waters 7 from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were u nder the 8 firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one pla ce, and let 10 the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the g athering together 11 of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let th e earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit-trees bearing fruit after their kind, wher ein is the seed thereof, 12 upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after their kind: an

d God saw that it was 13 good. And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. 14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day f rom the night; 15 and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years: and let them be for lights in 16 the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God mad e the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the nigh t: he made the stars also. 17 18 And God set them in the firmament of heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God s aw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

Genesis 3 31 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God ha d made. 2 And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden? And 3 the woman said unto the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat: 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 45 touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shal l be as God, knowing 6 good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of t he fruit thereof, and 7 did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. And the ey es of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves toget her, and made 8 themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 10 And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?

And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, Jehovah hath restrained m e from bearing; go in, I pray thee, unto my handmaid; it may be that I shall obtain chi ldren by her. And 3 Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar the E gyptian, her handmaid, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her 4 husband to be his wife. And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when s he saw that 5 she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. And Sarai said unto Ab ram, My wrong be upon thee: I gave my handmaid into they bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I 6 was despised in her eyes: Jehovah judge between me and thee. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her that which is good in thine eyes. And Sarai d ealt hardly with her, and she fled from her face. 7 And the angel of Jehovah found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain 8 in the way to Shur. And he said, Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence camest thou? an d whither goest 9 thou? And she said, I am fleeing from the face of my mistress Sarai. And the ang el of Jehovah 10 said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands. And t he angel of Jehovah said unto her, I will greatly multiply thy seed, that it shall not be nu mbered for multitude. 11 And the angel of Jehovah said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt b ear a son; and 12 thou shalt call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah hath heard thy affliction. And he shall be as a wild ass among men; his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand

And Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, sa w her; And he 3 took her, and lay with her, and humbled her. And his soul clave unto Dinah the d aughter of Jacob, 4 and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel. And Shechem spake unt o his father 5 Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife. Now Jacob heard that he had defiled D inah his daughter; 6 and his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until t hey came. And Hamor 7 the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him. And the sons of J acob came in from 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. 8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for you r daughter: 9 I pray you, give her unto him to wife. And make ye marriages with us; give your daughters unto 10 us, and take our daughters unto you. And ye shall dwell with us: and the land sh all be before 11 you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein. And Shechem sa id unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find favor in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will 12 give. Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: 13 but give me the damsel to wife. And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father 14 with guile, and spake, because he had defiled Dinah their sister, and said unto them, We cannot

Only on this condition will we consent unto you: if ye will be as we are, that every male of you be 16 circumcised; then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your dau ghters to us, 17 and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. But if ye will not he arken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. 18 19 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.

And they slew Hamor and Shechem 27 his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and w ent forth. The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defi led their sister. 28 They took their flocks and their herds and their asses, and that which was in th e city, and that 29 which was in the field; and all their wealth, and all their little ones and thei r wives, took they 30 captive and made a prey, even all that was in the house.

These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock w ith his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his fathe r's wives: and Joseph 3 brought the evil report of them unto their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, 4 because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors. An d his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren; and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. 5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him y et the more. 67 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: for, b ehold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; a nd, behold, your 8 sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 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 9 the more for his dreams, and for his words. And he dreamed yet another dream, an d told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream: and, behold, the sun and the moon and 10 eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his bret hren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother 11 and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in mind. 12 13 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. And Israel said u nto Joseph,

Are not thy brethren feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee un to them. And he 14 said to him, Here am I. And he said to him, Go now, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and 15 he came to Shechem. And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering i n the field: 16 and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? And he said, I am seeking my b rethren: tell 17 me, I pray thee, where they are feeding the flock. And the man said, They are de parted hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, a nd found them in Dothan. 18 And they saw him afar off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired aga inst him 19 20 to slay him. And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, 4 ill-favored and lean-fleshed, and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.

And the people took their dough before it was leavene d, their 35 kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. And the c hildren of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of si lver, and jewels 36 of gold, and raiment. And Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyp tians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians. 37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand 38 on foot that were men, besides children. And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and 39 flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were thru st out of Egypt, and 40 could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals. Now the time that the 41 children of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, tha t all the hosts of 42 Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt. It is a night to be much observed unto Jehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of Jehovah, to be m uch observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations. 43

And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: th ere shall 44 no foreigner eat thereof; but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast 45 circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. A sojourner and a hired servant shal l not eat thereof. 46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh ab road out of the house; 47 48 neither shall ye break a bone thereof. All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Jehovah, let a ll 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: 49 but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him that is h ome-born, and 50 unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. Thus did all the children of Israel ; as Jehovah 51 commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the ordinances: and all th e people answered 4 with one voice, and said, All the words which Jehovah hath spoken will we do. An d Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the mount, 5 and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel. And he sent young men of the children 6 of Israel, who offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings of oxen u nto Jehovah. And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins; and half of the blood he spr inkled on the altar. 7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: an d they said, All 8 that Jehovah hath spoken will we do, and be obedient. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which Jehovah hath made with you concerning all these words. 9 10 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Is rael.

And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firs t-born among the 19 children of Israel. And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his s ons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make 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. 20 Thus did Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, u nto the Levites: according unto all that Jehovah commanded Moses touching the Levites, so did the children of 21 Israel unto them. And the Levites purified themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes: and Aaron offered them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; and Aaron made atonem ent for them 22 to cleanse them. And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the t ent of meeting before Aaron, and before his sons: as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levite s, so did they unto them. 23 24 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, This is that which belongeth unto the Levi tes: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the serv ice in the work of 25 the tent of meeting: and from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting up on the work, and 26 shall serve no more, but shall minister with their brethren in the tent of meeti ng, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching th

And Moses said unto them, Stay ye, that I may hear what Jeho vah will command concerning you. 9 10 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey 11 afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto Jehovah. In the second month on th e fourteenth day 12 at even they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter h erbs: they shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break a bone thereof: according to all the stat ute of the passover 13 they shall keep it. But the man that is clean, and is not on a journey, and forb eareth to keep the passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people; because he offered not the oblation of Jehovah 14 in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.

And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed un to Jehovah, 3 and the fire abated. And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah burnt among them. 4 And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly: and the children of Israel 5 also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the o nions, and the 67 garlic: but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all save this manna to look upon. And 8 the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium. The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortar s, and boiled it in 9 pots, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil. A nd when the dew fell 10 upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. And Moses heard the people w eeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of J ehovah was kindled 11 greatly; and Moses was displeased. And Moses said unto Jehovah, Wherefore hast t hou dealt ill with thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou l ayest the burden of 12 all this people upon me? Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them f orth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child,

I am not able to bear 15 all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me. And if thou deal thus wit h me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see m y wretchedness. 16 And Jehovah 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 t hem unto the tent 17 of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.

And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophe sied, but they did so no more. 26 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the n ame of the other Medad: and the Spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that wer e written, but had 27 not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp. And there ran a you ng man, and 28 told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. And Joshua the so n of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 29 And Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? would that all Jehovah's people were 30 prophets, that Jehovah would put his Spirit upon them! And Moses gat him into th e camp, he and the elders of Israel. 31 And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and brought quails from the sea, and l et them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round

32 about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth. And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he that g athered least gathered 33 ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp. While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was k indled against the 34 people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague. And the name of t hat place was 35 called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted. From Kibrothhattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth. 223

And the people strove with Moses, and spake, saying, Wo uld that we 4 had died when our brethren died before Jehovah! And why have ye brought the asse mbly of 5 Jehovah into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our beasts? And w herefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is n o place of seed, or of 6 figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink. And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tent of meeting, and fell upon their 7 faces: and the glory of Jehovah appeared unto them. And Jehovah spake unto Moses , saying, 8 Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and sp eak ye unto the rock before their eyes, that it give forth its water; and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of 9 the rock; so thou shalt give the congregation and their cattle drink. And Moses took the rod from before Jehovah, as he commanded him. 10

And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said unto them, 11 Hear now, ye rebels; shall we bring you forth water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and smote the rock with his rod twice: and water came forth abundantly, an d the congregation 12 drank, and their cattle. And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye belie ved not in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bri ng this assembly into 13 the land which I have given them. These are the waters of Meribah; because the c hildren of Israel strove with Jehovah, and he was sanctified in them. 14 And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brot her 15 Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us: how our fathers went down into Egypt, 16 and we dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians dealt ill with us, and our fathers: and when 238

When a man voweth a vow unto Jehovah, or swe areth an oath to bind his soul with a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do acco rding to all that 3 proceedeth out of his mouth. Also when a woman voweth a vow unto Jehovah, and bi ndeth herself 4 by a bond, being in her father's house, in her youth, and her father heareth her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father holdeth his peace at her; then all her vows shall 5 stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand. But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth, none of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and Jehovah will forgive her, because her father disallowed h er. 6 And if she be married to a husband, while her vows are upon her, or the rash utt erance of her 7 lips, wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her husband hear it, and hold his p eace at her in the day that he heareth it; then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she h ath bound her soul 8 shall stand. But if her husband disallow her in the day that he heareth it, then he shall make void her vow which is upon her, and the rash utterance of her lips, wherewith she hat h bound her soul: 9 and Jehovah will forgive her. But the vow of a widow, or of her that is divorced , even everything 10 wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand against her. And if she vowed in her husband's 11 house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, and her husband heard it, and h eld his peace at her, and disallowed her not; then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wh erewith she bound 12

her soul shall stand. But if her husband made them null and void in the day that 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 Jehovah will forgive her. 13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her 14 husband may make it void. But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her fr om day to day, then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he hath established them, 15 because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them. But if he shall make them null 16 and void after that he hath heard them, then he shall bear her iniquity. These a re the statutes, which Jehovah commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between a father and his daughter, being in her youth, in her father's house. 258

Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Isr ael, shall ye send 5 to the war. So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve 6 thousand armed for war.

And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses; and 8 they slew every male. And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their s lain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they 9 slew with the sword. And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little 10 ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.

Now therefore kill every male among the 18 little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the 19 women-children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourse lves. And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and who soever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives. 259

The Emim dwelt 11 therein aforetime, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakim: these also are accounted 12 Rephaim, as the Anakim; but the Moabites call them Emim.

Know therefore this day, that Jehovah thy God is he who goeth over before thee as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before th ee: so shalt thou 4 drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath spoken unto the e. Speak not thou in thy heart, after that Jehovah thy God hath thrust them out from before t hee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the w ickedness of these 5 nations Jehovah doth drive them out from before thee. Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go in to possess their land; but for the wic kedness of these nations Jehovah thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 6 Know therefore, that Jehovah thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess i t for thy 7 righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. Remember, forget thou not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou wentest forth out of the land of 8 Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah. A lso in Horeb ye 9 provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you. When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenan t which Jehovah made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; I did neit her eat bread nor 10 drink water. And Jehovah delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which Jehovah speak wit h you in the 11 mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. And it came to pa ss at the end of

forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the 12 covenant. And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are qu ickly turned aside 13 out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image. Furth ermore 14 Jehovah spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a sti ffnecked people: let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; an d I will make of 15 thee a nation mightier and greater than they. So I turned and came down from the mount, and 16 the mount was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my t wo hands. And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God; ye had made you a molten calf: ye 17 had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you. And I t ook hold 18 of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did ne ither eat bread nor 286

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeas ure, wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you.

And I took nd stamped it, grinding it very f into the brook descended out of your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, a small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust thereo that the mount.

22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath. 23 And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, an d ye believed 24 him not, nor hearkened to his voice. Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah fro m the day that I knew you. 25 So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah 26 had said he would destroy you. And I prayed unto Jehovah, and said, O Lord Jehov ah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou hast redeemed through thy greatn ess, that thou hast 27 brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Remember thy servants, Abraham, I saac, and 28 Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, n or to their sin, lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to brin g them into the land which he promised unto them, and because he hated them, he hath brought the m out to slay

29 them in the wilderness. Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which tho u broughtest out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm. Deuteronomy 10 101At that time Jehovah said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come 2 up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood. And I will write on the tables the words 3 that were on the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark. So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, 4 having the two tables in my hand.

And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the people s whither Jehovah 38 shall lead thee away. Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt g ather little in; for 39 the locust shall consume it. Thou shalt plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shalt neither 40 drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worm shall eat them.

For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy th em, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses. 21 And Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of 22 Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

And Judah said unt o Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise 4 will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him. And Judah went up; and Jehovah delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they smote of them in Bez ek ten thousand 5 men. And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the 6 Canaanites and the Perizzites. But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, 7 and cut off his thumbs and his great toes. And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their food under my table: a s I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there. 8 And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it wi th the edge 9 of the sword, and set the city on fire.

And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron (now the name of Hebron b eforetime was Kiriath-arba); and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. 11 And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir.

So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. 15 And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword 16 before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet. B ut Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left. 17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the K enite; for there 18 was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not . And he turned in 19 unto her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. And he said unto her, Gi ve me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk

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 Philist ines? And Samson 4 said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well. But his father a nd his mother knew not that it was of Jehovah; for he sought an occasion against the Philistines. N ow at that time the Philistines had rule over Israel. 5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnah, and came to the vineyards 6 of Timnah: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. And the Spirit of Jehov ah 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 7 not his father or his mother what he had done. And he went down, and talked with the woman,

And after a while he returned to take her; and he t urned aside to see the carcass of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees in the body of the lion, and 9 honey. And he took it into his hands, and went on, eating as he went; and he cam e to his father and mother, and gave unto them, and they did eat: but he told them not that he h ad taken the honey out of the body of the lion. 395

And he ran u nto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again . And he went and 6 lay down. And Jehovah called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli , and said, 7 Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. Now 8 Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither was the word of Jehovah yet revealed un to him. And Jehovah called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and sa id, Here am I; for 9 thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah had called the child. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Spe ak, Jehovah; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel 11 said, Speak; for thy servant heareth. And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in 12 Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle. In tha t day I will perform 13 against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from the beginning even unto the end. For

I have told him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he knew, because his 14 sons did bring a curse upon themselves, and he restrained them not. And therefor e I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated wi th sacrifice nor offering for ever. 15 And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel 16 feared to show Eli the vision. Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, 17 Here am I. And he said, What is the thing that Jehovah hath spoken unto thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide anything from me of all the things 18 that he spake unto thee. And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from hi m. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what seemeth him good. 419

Now therefore present 20 yourselves before Jehovah by your tribes, and by your thousands. So Samuel broug ht all the 21 tribes of Israel near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken. And he brought the t ribe of Benjamin near by their families; and the family of the Matrites was taken; and Saul the s on of Kish was taken: 22 but when they sought him, he could not be found. Therefore they asked of Jehovah further, Is there yet a man to come hither? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he hath hid himsel f among the 23 baggage.

But he told not 2 his father. And Saul abode in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate -tree which is 3 in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men; and Ahi jah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, 4 wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone. And between th e passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a roc ky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the 5 other Seneh. The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the oth er on the south in front of Geba. 6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armor, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Jehovah will work for us; for th ere is no restraint 7 to Jehovah to save by many or by few. And his armorbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thy 8 heart: turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart. Then said Jonat han, Behold, we 9 will pass over unto the men, and we will disclose ourselves unto them. If they s ay thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them. 10 But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up; for Jehovah hath deli vered them into 11 our hand: and this shall be the sign unto us.

And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his 13 armorbearer, Come up after me; for Jehovah hath delivered them into the hand of Israel. And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armorbearer after him: and they fell 14 before Jonathan; and his armorbearer slew them after him. And that first slaught er, which Jonathan and his armorbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow' s length in an 15 acre of land. And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled; and the earth quaked: so there w as an exceeding great trembling. 16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitud e melted 17 away, and they went hither and thither.

And Saul came to the city of Amalek, and laid wai t in the valley. 6 And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekit es, lest I destroy you with them; for ye showed kindness to all the children of Israel, whe n they came up out 7 of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. And Saul smote the Amalekites, 8 from Havilah as thou goest to Shur, that is before Egypt. And he took Agag the k ing of the 9 Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the swor d. But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the f atlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but everything that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly. 10 11 Then came the word of Jehovah unto Samuel, saying, It repenteth me that I have s

And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold , he set him up a 13 monument, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal. And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of Jehovah: I have performed the commandment of Jehovah. 14 And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of 15 the oxen which I hear?

And he said unto him, Far from it; thou shalt not die: behold, my father doeth nothi ng either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto me; and why should my father hide this thi ng from me? it is 3 not so. And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father knoweth well that I have found favor in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but tr uly as Jehovah liveth, 4 and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death. Then said Jona than unto David, 5 Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. And David said unto Jo nathan, Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: b ut let me go, that I 6 may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. If thy father miss me a t all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city; for it is the yearly sacrifice 7 there for all the family. If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have pea ce: but if he be wroth, 8 then know that evil is determined by him. Therefore deal kindly with thy servant ; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of Jehovah with thee: but if there be in me iniquity, slay me 9 thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father? And Jonathan said, Far b e it from thee; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would 10 not I tell it thee? Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me if perchance thy father answer 11

thee roughly? And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the fie ld. And they went out both of them into the field. 12 And Jonathan said unto David, Jehovah, the God of Israel, be witness: when I hav e sounded my father about this time to-morrow, or the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall 13 I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto thee? Jehovah do so to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto thee, and send thee away, that 14 thou mayest go in peace: and Jehovah be with thee, as he hath been with my fathe r. And thou 15 shalt not only while yet I live show me the lovingkindness of Jehovah, that I di e not; but also 447

So Jonathan made a covena nt with the house of David, saying, And Jehovah will require it at the hand of David's enemi es. 17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, for the love that he had to him; for h e loved him 18 as he loved his own soul. Then Jonathan said unto him, To-morrow is the new moon : and thou 19 wilt be missed, because thy seat will be empty. And when thou hast stayed three days, thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the bu siness was in 20 hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel. And I will shoot three arrows on the s ide thereof, as 21 though I shot at a mark. And, behold, I will send the lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee; take them, and come; for there is peace to 22 thee and no hurt, as Jehovah liveth. But if I say thus unto the boy, Behold, the arrows are beyond 23 thee; go thy way; for Jehovah hath sent thee away. And as touching the matter wh ich thou and I have spoken of, behold, Jehovah is between thee and me for ever. 24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down 25 to eat food. And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon the se at by the wall; and 26 Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul's side: but David's place was empty. Ne vertheless Saul spake not anything that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely 27

he is not clean. And it came to pass on the morrow after the new moon, which was the second day, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefor e cometh not the 28 son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to-day? And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly 29 asked leave of me to go to Beth-lehem: 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 n ow, if I have found favor in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefor e he is not come unto the king's table. 30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son o f a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and 31 unto the shame of thy mother's nakedness? 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 32 shall surely die.

But he princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistin es said unto him, Make the man return, that he may go back to his place where thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us: for wherewith should 5 this fellow reconcile himself unto his lord? should it not be with the heads of these men? Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands? 6 Then Achish called David, and said unto him, As Jehovah liveth, thou hast been u pright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight; for I h ave not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lord s favor thee not. 78 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.

And when David and his m en came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and thei r daughters, were taken 4 captive.

And David was greatly distressed; f or 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 strengthened himself in Jehovah his God. 7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, I pray thee, bring me hither the 8 ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. And David inquired of Je hovah, saying, If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue ; for thou shalt 9 surely overtake them, and shalt without fail recover all. 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. 10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who w ere so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor. 11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and

And David perceived that Jehovah had estab lished him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sa ke. 13 And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from 14 Hebron; and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.

had come and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. And David inquired of J ehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into my ha nd? And Jehovah 20 said unto David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver the Philistines into thy ha nd. And David came to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and he said, Jehovah hath broken mi ne enemies before me, like the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baal-perazim. 21 And they left their images there; and David and his men took them away. 473

And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah with all manner of instruments made of fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with t imbrels, and with castanets, and with cymbals. 6 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of 7 God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled. And the anger of Jehovah was ki ndled against 8 Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of Go d.

And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the ki ng for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 7 And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let 8 me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto Jehovah, in Hebron. For thy servan t vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall indeed bring me a gain to Jerusalem, 9 then I will serve Jehovah. And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to 10 Hebron. But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As s oon as ye hear 11 the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron. And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited, and went in their simplicit y; and they knew 12 not anything. And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was st rong; for the people increased continually with Absalom. 13 And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after 14 Absalom. And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, A rise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, le st he overtake us 15 quickly, and bring down evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sw ord.

Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I 21 may? return thou, and take back thy brethren; mercy and truth be with thee.

And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are fo r the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; a nd the wine, that 3 such as are faint in the wilderness may drink. And the king said, And where is t hy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem; for he said, To-da y will the house 4 of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father. Then said the king to Ziba, Behol d, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I do obeisance; let me find favor i n thy sight, my lord, O king. 5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and c ursed still as he 6 came. And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and al l the people and 7 all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left. And thus said Shimei when he cursed, 8 Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow: Jehovah hath returned upon t hee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah hath d elivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and, behold, thou art taken in thine own misch ief, because thou art a man of blood. 9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog cur se my lord 10

Because he curseth, and because Jehovah hath sa id unto him, 11 Curse David; who then shall say, Wherefore hast thou done so? And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth from my bowels, seeketh my l ife: how much more may this Benjamite now do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for Jehovah hath bidden him. 12 It may be that Jehovah will look on the wrong done unto me, and that Jehovah wil l requite me 13 good for his cursing of me this day. So David and his men went by the way; and S himei went along on the hill-side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast 14 dust.

And those officers provided victuals for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's ta ble, every man in 28 his month; they let nothing be lacking. Barley also and straw for the horses and swift steeds brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge. 29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of h

For he was wiser than all men ; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all the nations 32 round about. And he spake three thousand proverbs; and his songs were a thousand and five. 33 And he spake of trees, from the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop th at springeth out 34 of the wall; he spake also of beasts, and of birds, and of creeping things, and of fishes.

And Sol omon sent to 3 Hiram, saying, Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah p ut them under 4 the soles of his feet. But now Jehovah my God hath given me rest on every side; there is neither 5 adversary, nor evil occurrence. And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne 6 in thy room, he shall build the house for my name. Now therefore command thou th at they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that the re is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians. 7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced gre atly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who hath given unto David a wise son over thi s great people. 8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the message which thou hast sent unto me: I 9 will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt receive 10

And the king co mmanded, and they hewed out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house w ith wrought stone. 18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house. 1 Kings 6 61 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 Ziv, which 2 is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah. And the house which king Solomon built for Jehovah, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the bre adth thereof twenty 3 cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits. And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cu bits was the breadth 45 thereof before the house. And for the house he made windows of fixed lattice-wor k. And against the wall of the house he built stories round about, against the walls of the hou se round about, both 6 of the temple and of the oracle; and he made side-chambers round about. The neth ermost story was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was se ven cubits broad; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house round about, that th e beams should not 7 have hold in the walls of the house. And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone

made ready at the quarry; and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of i ron heard in the 8 house, while it was in building. The door for the middle side-chambers was in th e right side of the house: and they went up by winding stairs into the middle story, and out of the middle into the 9 third. So he built the house, and finished it; and he covered the house with bea ms and planks of 10 cedar. And he built the stories against all the house, each five cubits high: an d they rested on the house with timber of cedar. 11 12 And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon, saying, Concerning this house which tho u art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute mine ordinances, and kee p all my commandments to walk in them; then will I establish my word with thee, which I s pake unto David 13 thy father.

And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the che rub: from the 25 uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cub its.

And it was covered with cedar above over the forty and f ive beams, that 4 were upon the pillars; fifteen in a row. And there were beams in three rows, and window was over 5 against window in three ranks. And all the doors and posts were made square with beams: and 6 window was over against window in three ranks.

And he made the porch of the throne where he was to judge, even 8 the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from floor to floor. And hi s house where he was to dwell, the other court within the porch, was of the like work. He made also a house for Pharaoh's daughter (whom Solomon had taken to wife), like unto this porch. 9 All these were of costly stones, even of hewn stone, according to measure, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outs ide unto the great 10 court.

For he fashioned the two pillars of brass, eighteen cubits high ap iece: and a line of 16 twelve cubits compassed either of them about. And he made two capitals of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other 17 capital was five cubits. There were nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-w ork, for the capitals which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital, and seven for the other 18 capital. So he made the pillars; and there were two rows round about upon the on e network, to 19 cover the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars: and so did he for the other capital. And 20 the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily-wor k, four cubits. And there were capitals above also upon the two pillars, close by the belly which wa s beside the network: 21 and the pomegranates were two hundred, in rows round about upon the other capita l. And he set up the pillars at the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and c alled the name thereof 22 Jachin; and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz. And upo n the top of the pillars was lily-work: so was the work of the pillars finished. 23 And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, an d the 24 height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round a bout. And under the brim of it round about there were knops which did compass it, for ten cubits , compassing the 25 sea round about: the knops were in two rows, cast when it was cast. It stood upo n twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three loo

And it was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was wrou ght like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it held two thousand baths. 27 And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits 28 the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. And the work of the base s was on this 29 manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges; and on the pa nels that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above; 30 and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laver were the 31 undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each.

And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base: the u ndersetters thereof 35 were of the base itself. And in the top of the base was there a round compass ha lf a cubit high; 36 and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the panels thereof were of the same. And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the panels thereof, he graved cherubim, lion s, and palm-trees, 37 according to the space of each, with wreaths round about. After this manner he m ade the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form. 38 And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every lave r was four 39 cubits; and upon very one of the ten bases one laver. And he set the bases, five 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, toward the south. 40 And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing 41 all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of Jehovah: the two p illars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the two netwo rks to cover the two 42 bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bo wls of the capitals 43 44 that were upon the pillars; and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases; and the one sea, 45

and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins : even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of Jehovah, were of bur nished brass. 46 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Su ccoth and Zarethan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: th e weight of the brass could not be found out. 48 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Jehovah: the golden a ltar, and 49 the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold; and the candlesticks, five on th e right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamp s, and the tongs, of 50 gold; and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fi repans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place , and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple, of gold. 524

And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the se venth month. 34 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark. And they bro ught up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the T ent; even these did 5 the priests and the Levites bring up. And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxe n, that could not 6 be counted nor numbered for multitude. And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, ev en under the wings 7 of the cherubim.

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 3 Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. And Solomon told he r all her 4 questions: there was not anything hid from the king which he told her not. And w hen the queen 5 of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, an d the food 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 Jehovah; there was no more spirit 6 in her. And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, 7 and of thy wisdom. 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 exceed the fame which I heard. 8 Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before t hee, and that hear 9 thy wisdom. Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on th e throne of Israel: because Jehovah loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do justic e and righteousness. 10 And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very g reat store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. 11 And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty 12 of almug-trees and precious stones. And the king made of the almug-trees pillars

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left. 3 And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Sh aphan, the son 4 of Azaliah the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying, Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of Je hovah, which the 5 keepers of the threshold have gathered of the people: and let them deliver it in to the hand of the workmen that have the oversight of the house of Jehovah; and let them give it to the workmen that 6 are in the house of Jehovah, to repair the breaches of the house, unto the carpe nters, and to the 7 builders, and to the masons, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the house. Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully. 8 And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in 9 the house of Jehovah. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it. And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy serv ants have emptied

out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand o f the workmen that 10 have the oversight of the house of Jehovah. And Shaphan the scribe told the king , saying, Hilkiah 11 the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king. And it came to pass, 12 when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his cloth es. And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, 13 and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying, Go ye, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is 597

So Jehoiakim slept with his father s; and Jehoiachin 7 his son reigned in his stead. And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt. 8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jeru salem three 9 months: and his mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem .

Then Solomon assemb led the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses o f the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city o f David, which is 3 Zion. nd all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king at the feast, which was in the 45 seventh month. And all the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ar k; and they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; these did 6 the priests the Levites bring up. And king Solomon and all the congregation of I srael, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor 7 numbered for multitude. And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Je hovah unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wing s of the cherubim. 8 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the che rubim covered the 9 ark and the staves thereof above. And the staves were so long that the ends of t he staves were seen 10 from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there it is unto this day. There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when Jehovah made a 11 covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. And it came t o pass, when

But I have 3 built thee a house of habitation, and a place for thee to dwell in for ever. And the king turned his 4 face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: and all the assembly of Israel sto od. And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David my fa ther, and hath 5 with his hands fulfilled it, saying, Since the day that I brought forth my peopl e out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; 6 neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel: but I have chosen Je rusalem, that my 7 name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. Now it w as in the heart 8 of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel. But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well 9 that it was in thy heart: nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy s on that shall come 10 forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. And Jehovah hath p erformed his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, 11 as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God o f Israel. And there have I set the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the children of 12 Israel. And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the asse mbly of Israel, and 13 spread forth his hands (for Solomon had made a brazen scaffold, 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 assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward 14 heaven;) and he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, i n heaven, or on earth; who keepest covenant and lovingkindness with thy servants, that walk befo re thee with all 15 their heart; who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou dids t promise him: 16 yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day. Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father t hat which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, 17 if only thy children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as thou hast walk ed before me. Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou sp akest unto thy servant 18 David. But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven 19 of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have builded!

And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and prevailed 4 against it. And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store-cities, whi ch he built in Hamath. 5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, fortified cities, with walls, gates, 6 and bars; and Baalath, and all the store-cities that Solomon had, and all the ci ties for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his p leasure in Jerusalem, 7 and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusit es, that were not of 8 Israel; of their children that were left after them in the land, whom the childr en of Israel consumed 9 not, of them did Solomon raise a levy of bondservants unto this day. But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief o f his captains, 10 and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen. And these were the chief officer s of king Solomon, 11 even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people. And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her; fo r he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are hol y, whereunto the ark 12 of Jehovah hath come. Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings unto Jehovah on the a

ltar of 13 Jehovah, which he had built before the porch, even as the duty of every day requ ired, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, an d on the set feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in t he feast of weeks, and 14 in the feast of tabernacles. And he appointed, according to the ordinance of Dav id his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to pr aise, and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required; the doorkeepers also by t heir courses at every 15 gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. And they departed not from the commandment 16 of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning th e treasures. Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, and 17 until it was finished. So the house of Jehovah was completed. Then went Solomon to Ezion-geber, 18 and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom.

And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thin e acts, and of thy 6 wisdom. Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: thou exceedest the fame that I heard. 7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, that stand continually befo re thee, and hear 8 thy wisdom. Blessed be Jehovah thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on hi s throne, to be king for Jehovah thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ev er, therefore made 9 he thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness. And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones: neit her was there any

10 such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon. And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, that brought gold from Ophir, brought algum-trees and p recious stones. 11 And the king made of the algum-trees terraces for the house of Jehovah, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers: and there were none such seen before i n the land of Judah. 12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked , besides that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, sh e and her servants. 13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and thre escore and 14 six talents of gold, besides that which the traders and merchants brought: and a ll the kings of 15 Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

And he did that 3 which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, but not with a perfect heart. Now it cam e to pass, when the kingdom was established unto him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father. 4 But he put not their children to death, but did according to that which is writt en in the law in the book of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the c hildren, neither 5 shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin. Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers' houses, un der captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, a ble to go forth 6 to war, that could handle spear and shield. He hired also a hundred thousand mig hty men of valor 7 out of Israel for a hundred talents of silver. But there came a man of God to hi m, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children 8 of Ephraim. But if thou wilt go, do valiantly, be strong for the battle: God wil l cast thee down 9 before the enemy; for God hath power to help, and to cast down. And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the a rmy of Israel? And 10 the man of God answered, Jehovah is able to give thee much more than this. Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore 11

their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger. And Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote of the 12 children of Seir ten thousand. And other ten thousand did the children of Judah carry away alive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of th e rock, so that 13 they all were broken in pieces. But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria ev en unto Beth-horon, 14 and smote of them three thousand, and took much spoil.

And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a separate house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Jehovah: and 22 Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land. Now th e rest of the 23 acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write. So Uzziah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which b elonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead. 2 Chronicles 27 27 1Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years 2 in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Jerushah the daughter of Zadok. And he d id that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had do ne: howbeit he entered 3 not into the temple of Jehovah. And the people did yet corruptly. He built the u pper gate of the 4 house of Jehovah, and on the wall of Ophel he built much. Moreover he built citi es in the 5 hill-country of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers. He fought also with the king of the children of Ammon, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and t en thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon render unto him, in the second year al so, and in the 67 third. So Jotham became mighty, because he ordered his ways before Jehovah his G od. Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, behold, they are wri tten in the book of 8

And he set th e Levites in the house of Jehovah 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 the commandmen t was of Jehovah 26 by his prophets. And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the pr iests with the 27 trumpets. And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments 28 of David king of Israel. And all the assembly worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters 29 sounded; all this continued until the burnt-offering was finished. And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves an d worshipped. 30 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladn ess, and they 31 bowed their heads and worshipped. Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have c onsecrated yourselves unto Jehovah; come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of Jehovah. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a 32 willing heart brought burnt-offerings. And the number of the burnt-offerings whi ch the assembly brought was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were 33 for a burnt-offering to Jehovah. And the consecrated things were six hundred oxe n and three 34 thousand sheep. But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all th e burnt-offerings:

wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctif y themselves than 35 the priests. And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the hou se of Jehovah was 36 set in order.

And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that had good understanding in the service of Jehovah. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven da ys, offering sacrifices 23 of peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, the God of their fathers. And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept other seven days w ith gladness. 24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the assembly for offerings a thousand bul locks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: 25 and a great number of priests sanctified themselves. And all the assembly of Jud ah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that came out of Israel, and the s ojourners that came 26 out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. 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. 27 Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was h eard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even unto heaven. 2 Chronicles 31 31 1Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and brake down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until th ey had destroyed

And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight agains t Jerusalem, 3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fo untains which 4 were without the city; and they helped him. So there was gathered much people to gether, and they stopped all the fountains, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the la nd, saying, Why 5 should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water? And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and the other wal l without, and 6 strengthened Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundan ce. And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate 7 of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying, Be strong and of good courag e, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him ; for there is a greater 8 with us than with him: with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Jehovah our G od to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekia h king of Judah. 9 After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were 10 at Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trus t, that ye abide 11 the siege in Jerusalem? Doth not Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and

12 by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king o f Assyria? Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded J udah and 13 Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and upon it shall ye burn incense?

Now ther efore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you after this manner, neither believe ye him ; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my 16 fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?

Then I came to the governors b eyond the River, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and 10 horsemen. And when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly, for that there was come a man to seek the welfa re of the children 11 12 of Israel. So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God put into my heart to do for Jerusalem; 13 neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon. And I went out by night by the valley gate, even toward the jackal's well, and to the dung gate, and viewed the walls of 14 Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire . Then I went on to the fountain gate and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the b east that was under 15 me to pass. Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, 16 and entered by the valley gate, and so returned. 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, 17 nor to the rest that did the work. Then said I unto them, Ye see the evil case t hat we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall 18 of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. And I told them of the hand of my G od which was good upon me, as also of the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they s aid, Let us rise

19 up and build. So they strengthened their hands for the good work. But when Sanba llat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they lau ghed us to scorn, 20 and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king? Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; ther efore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even th at which 4 they are building, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall.

Some also there were that said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and 4 our houses: let us get grain, because of the dearth. There were also that said, We have borrowed 5 money for the king's tribute upon our fields and our vineyards.

Then I consulted with myself, and conten ded with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brot her. And I held a 8 great assembly against them. And I said unto them, We after our ability have red eemed our brethren the Jews, that were sold unto the nations; and would ye even sell your brethren, and should they 9 be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found never a word. Also I said , The thing that ye do is not good: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the r eproach of the nations 10 our enemies?

And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with the lifting up of their hands: and they bowed their heads, and 7 worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground. Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sh erebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, a nd the Levites,

And on the second day were gathered together the heads of fathers' houses of all the people , the priests, and 14 the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to give attention to the words of the la w. And they found written in the law, how that Jehovah had commanded by Moses, that the children o f Israel should 15 dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month; and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch o live branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to 16 make booths, as it is written. So the people went forth, and brought them, and m ade themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the co urts of the house of 17 God, and in the broad place of the water gate, and in the broad place of the gat e of Ephraim. And all the assembly of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the ch ildren of Israel done 18 so.

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there was a ch ief of the 47 singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God. And all Israel in the da ys of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, a s every day required: and they set apart that which was for the Levites; and the Levites set apart tha t which was for the sons of Aaron. Nehemiah 13 13 1On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; an d therein was found written, that an Ammonite and a Moabite should not enter into the assembly of God for ever, 2 because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against 3 them, to curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing. And it ca me to pass, when 4 they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude. Now before this, Eliashib the priest, who was appointed over the chambers of the house of our God , being allied 5 unto Tobiah, had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meal-offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, an d the oil, which were given by commandment to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the h eave-offerings 6 for the priests.

Then I commanded, and they cle ansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meal-offerings and 10 the frankincense. And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so 11 that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.

A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was 15 published unto all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day. The posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed. Esther 4 41 Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth 2 with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; and he came even before the king's gate: for none might enter within the king's gate cl othed with sackcloth. 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 l ay in sackcloth 4 and ashes. And Esther's maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and t he queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sa ckcloth from off 5 him; but he received it not. Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king's c hamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, 6 and why it was. So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the ci ty, which was 7 before the king's gate. And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy 8 them. Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in 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 h im, for her people. 744

And I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. 5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; My skin closeth up, and breaketh out afresh. 6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And are spent without hope. 7 Oh remember that my life is a breath: Mine eye shall no more see good. 8 The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more; Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be. 9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, So he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more. 10 He shall return no more to his house,

Neither shall his place know him any more. 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. 12 Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, That thou settest a watch over me? 13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint; 14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions: 761

They gather themselves together against me. 11 God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked. 12 I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He hath also set me up for his mark. 13 His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; 777

He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot; They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro. 5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire. 795

Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries. 8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer. 10 All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly. 829

And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you. 24 Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded; 25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof: 26 I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you. 28 Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me: 29 For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah: 30 They would none of my counsel; They despised all my reproof. 31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own devices. 32

Proverbs 11 11 1A false balance is an abomination to Jehovah; But a just weight is his delight. 2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame; But with the lowly is wisdom. 3 The integrity of the upright shall guide them; But the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them. 4 Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. 5 The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way; But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 6

The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity. 7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth. 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead. 1038

Though hand join in hand, the evil man shall not be unpunished; But the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. 22 As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, So is a fair woman that is without discretion. 23 The desire of the righteous is only good; But the expectation of the wicked is wrath. 24 There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. 1039

10 Diverse weights, and diverse measures, Both of them alike are an abomination to Jehovah. 11 Even a child maketh himself known by his doings, Whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. 12 The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even both of them. 1056

One generation goeth, and another generation cometh; but the eart h abideth for 56 ever. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place whe re it ariseth. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its 7 course, and the wind returneth again to its circuits. All the rivers run into th e sea, yet the sea is 8 not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again. All thing s are full of weariness; 9 man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled wi th hearing. That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which sh all be done: and 10 there is no new thing under the sun. Is there a thing whereof it may be said, Se e, this is new? it 11 hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us. There is no remembrance of the former generations; neither shall there be any remembrance of the latter generations th at are to come, 12 13 among those that shall come after.

I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it ? I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all 45 the days of their life. I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards; I 6 made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit; I made me pools of 7 water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared; I bought men-serva nts and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions o f herds and flocks, 8 above all that were before me in Jerusalem; I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the d elights of the 9 sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts. So I was great, and inc reased more than 10 all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me. And whats oever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced 11 because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor. Then I looke d on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was 12 vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun. And I t urned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even 13 that which hath been done long ago. Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as f

Then said I in my heart, A s it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then said I in my heart, that 16 this also is vanity. For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remem brance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how doth the wise man die 17 even as the fool! So I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the su n was grievous 18 unto me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind. And I hated all my labor w herein I labored 19 under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me. And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labor wherein I have 20 labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This also is vanit y.

Sorrow is better than laughter; fo r by the sadness of 4 the countenance the heart is made glad. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the 5 heart of fools is in the house of mirth. It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to 6 hear the song of fools. For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the la ughter of the fool: 7 this also is vanity. Surely extortion maketh the wise man foolish; and a bribe d estroyeth the 8 understanding. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is 9 better than the proud in spirit. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry; for ang er resteth in the bosom 10 of fools. Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou 11 dost not inquire wisely concerning this. Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; ye a, more excellent 12 is it for them that see the sun. For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a def ence; but the 13 excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it. Consider the 14 work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yea, God hath made the one side by side with the

15 other, to the end that man should not find out anything that shall be after him. All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righte ousness, and there is 16 a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing. Be not righteous overmu ch; neither make 17 thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not overmuch wicked, ne ither be thou 18 foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time? It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall come fo rth from them all. 19 20 Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city. Su rely there is 21 not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. Also take not heed unto all 22 words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee; for oftentimes als o thine own heart 23 knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. All this have I proved in wisdom: I said, 1087

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil 6 thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment: for to every purpose there is a time 7 and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him: for he knoweth not th at which shall 8 be; for who can tell him how it shall be?

This is an e vil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, 4 and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dea d. For to him that is 5 joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for 6 the memory of them is forgotten. As well their love, as their hatred and their e nvy, is perished 7 long ago; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun. Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God hath already accepted 89 thy works. Let thy garments be always white; and let not thy head lack oil.

If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward 4 the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be. He that obser veth the wind shall not 5 sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. As thou knowest not what i s the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so t hou knowest not 6 the work of God who doeth all. In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening w ithhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be 78 alike good. Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun. Yea, if a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember the days of darkness, 9 for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. 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 thy heart, an d in the sight of thine 10 eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment .

Under the apple-tree I awakened thee: There thy mother was in travail with thee, There was she in travail that brought thee forth. 6 Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol; The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, A very flame of Jehovah. 7 Many waters cannot quench love, Neither can floods drown it: If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, He would utterly be contemned. 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? 9 If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver: And if she be a door, We will inclose her with boards of cedar. 10 I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof Then was I in his eyes as one that found peace. 11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon;

The Book of the Prophet Isaiah Isaiah 1 11 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusale m, in the 2 days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for Jehovah hath spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, and th ey have rebelled 3 against me. The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; but Israel doth not know, 4 my people doth not consider. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a s eed of evil-doers, children that deal corruptly! they have forsaken Jehovah, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, 5 they are estranged and gone backward. Why will ye be still stricken, that ye rev olt more and more? 6 the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; on their 4 housetops, and in their broad places, every one waileth, weeping abundantly. And Heshbon crieth out, and Elealeh; their voice is heard even unto Jahaz: therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; 5 his soul trembleth within him. My heart crieth out for Moab; her nobles flee unt o Zoar, to Eglath-shelishi-yah: for by the ascent of Luhith with weeping they go up; for in the way of Horonaim 6 they raise up a cry of destruction. For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is 7 withered away, the tender grass faileth, there is no green thing. Therefore the abundance they have 8 gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away over the brook o f the willows. For the cry is gone round about the borders of Moab; the wailing thereof unto Eglaim , and the wailing 9 thereof unto Beer-elim.

Surely he hath borne our gr iefs, and carried 5 our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of o ur peace was upon 6 him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every 7 one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted he opened not his mouth; as a lamb that is led to the slau ghter, and as a sheep 8 that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who among them considered that he was cut off out of the 9 land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due ? And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death; although he had don e no violence, 10 neither was any deceit in his mouth.

I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own 3 thoughts; a people that provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in garden s, and burning 4 incense upon bricks; that sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; that eat swine's 5 flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels; that say, Stand by th yself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou.

T hen answered I, and 6 said, Amen, O Jehovah. And Jehovah said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, 7 and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them. For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of t he land of Egypt, 8 even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice. Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart : therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not. 9 And Jehovah said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and amon g the 10 inhabitants of Jerusalem. They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefa thers, who refused to hear my words; and they are gone after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the 11 house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. Therefor

e thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to es cape; and they shall 12 cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them. Then shall the cities of Judah an d the inhabitants of Jerusalem go and cry unto the gods unto which they offer incense: but they wi ll not save them 13 at all in the time of their trouble. For according to the number of thy cities a re thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to the shameful thing, 14 even altars to burn incense unto Baal. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me because of their 15 trouble.

For thus saith Jehovah concern ing the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothe rs that bare them, 4 and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land: They shall die grievo us deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung upon the fa ce of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies sh all be food for 5 the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth. For thus saith Jehova h, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken a way my peace 6 from this people, saith Jehovah, even lovingkindness and tender mercies. Both gr eat and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for t hem, nor cut themselves, 1203

O my moun tain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures for a spoil, and thy high places , because of sin, 4 throughout all thy borders. And thou, even of thyself, shalt discontinue from th y heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou k nowest not: for ye 5 have kindled a fire in mine anger which shall burn for ever. Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the 6 man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth fr om Jehovah. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh, bu t shall inhabit the 7 parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in 8 Jehovah, and whose trust Jehovah is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the wa ters, that spreadeth out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat cometh, but its leaf sh all be green; and shall 9 not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. The heart is deceitful 10 above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it? I, Jehovah, se arch the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fr uit of his doings. 11 As the partridge that sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, so is he that get teth riches, and not 12 by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool. A glorious 13 throne, set on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary. O Jehovah

, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be put to shame. They that depart from me sh all be written in the 14 earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters. Heal m e, O Jehovah, 15 and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Be hold, they say unto 16 me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it come now. As for me, I have not hastene d from being a shepherd after thee; neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of 17 18 my lips was before thy face. Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil. Let them be put to shame that persecute me, but let not me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with d ouble destruction. 19 Thus said Jehovah unto me: Go, and stand in the gate of the children of the peop le, whereby the 20 kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusa lem; and say unto them, Hear ye the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of 1205

Then Pashhur smote Jeremiah the prophet , and put him 3 in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah. And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stock s. Then said 4 Jeremiah unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashhur, but Magor-missabib.

O Jehovah, thou hast persuaded me, and I was persuaded; thou art strong er than I, and 8 hast prevailed: I am become a laughing-stock all the day, every one mocketh me.

And if I say, I will not make mention of h im, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am 10 weary with forbearing, and I cannot contain.

Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daught ers to husbands, 7 that they may bear sons and daughters; and multiply ye there, and be not diminis hed.

For, lo, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will turn again the captivity of my people Israel an d Judah, saith Jehovah; 4 and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and th ey shall possess it. And 5 these are the words that Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. F or thus saith 6 Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

For thus saith 13 Jehovah, Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound grievous. There is none to plead t hy cause, that

14 thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. All thy lovers have for gotten thee; they seek thee not: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of 15 a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increase d. Why criest thou for thy hurt? thy pain is incurable: for the greatness of thine iniquity, becaus e thy sins were increased, 16 I have done these things unto thee. Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that des poil thee shall be a 17 spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

Jeremiah 51 51 1Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against the m that dwell in 2 Leb-kamai, a destroying wind. And I will send unto Babylon strangers, that shall winnow her; and they shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against h er round about. 3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifte th himself up in 4 his coat of mail: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her hos t.

Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his lif e; be not cut off in her iniquity: for it is the time of Jehovah's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense. 7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunke n: the nations 8 have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. Babylon is suddenly falle n and destroyed: 9 wail for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

Mak e sharp the arrows; hold firm the shields: Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings o f the Medes; because his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it: for it is the vengeance of Jehova h, the vengeance of 12 his temple. Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon, make the watch stron g, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both purposed and done that whi ch he spake 13 concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. O thou that dwellest upon many waters, ab undant in 14 treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy covetousness. Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with the canker-worm; and they shall lift up a 15 shout against thee.

The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Mahse iah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was 60 chief chamberlain. And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come up on Babylon, 61 even all these words that are written concerning Babylon. And Jeremiah said to S eraiah, When 62 thou comest to Babylon, then see that thou read all these words, and say, O Jeho vah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, to cut it off, that none shall dwell therein, neit her man nor beast, but 63 that it shall be desolate for ever. And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this 64 book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euph rates: and thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her; and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah. Jeremiah 52 521Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned

eleven years 2 in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libn ah. And he 3 did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. For through the anger of Jehovah did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until h e had cast them 4 out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the mont h, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped again st it; and they 1261

It is because of the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, That have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her. 14 They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, So that men cannot touch their garments. 15 Depart ye, they cried unto them, Unclean! depart, depart, touch not! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more sojourn here. 16 The anger of Jehovah hath scattered them; he will no more regard them: They respected not the persons of the priests, they favored not the elders. 17 Our eyes do yet fail in looking for our vain help: 1271

In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin' s captivity, the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans 4 by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him. And I looked, a nd, behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with a fire infolding itself, and a brightness round 5 about it, and out of the midst thereof as it were glowing metal, out of the mids t of the fire. And out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this wa s their appearance: 6 they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one of t hem had four 7 wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like th e sole of a calf's foot; 8 and they sparkled like burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under th eir wings on 9 their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings thus: their wing s were joined one 10 to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward . As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man; and they four had the face of a lion on the right side; and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four had also t he face of an eagle. 11 And their faces and their wings were separate above; two wings of every one were joined one 12

to another, and two covered their bodies. And they went every one straight forwa rd: whither the 13 spirit was to go, they went; they turned not when they went. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches: the fire went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth 14 lightning. And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flas h of lightning. 15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold, one wheel upon the earth beside th e living creatures, 16 for each of the four faces thereof. The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto a beryl: and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was a s it were a wheel 17 within a wheel. When they went, they went in their four directions: they turned not when they 18 went. As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and they four had their ri ms full of eyes 19 round about.

No eye pitied thee, to do any of these things unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, for 6 that thy person was abhorred, in the day that thou wast born. And when I passed by thee, and saw thee weltering in thy blood, I said unto thee, Though thou art in thy blood, liv e; yea, I said unto 7 thee, Though thou art in thy blood, live. I caused thee to multiply as that whic h groweth in the field, and thou didst increase and wax great, and thou attainedst to excellent o rnament; thy breasts 8 were fashioned, and thy hair was grown; yet thou wast naked and bare. 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 w ith thee, saith the 9 Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine.

But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its 13 strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them. And now it is

planted in the 14 wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. And fire is gone out of the rods of its b ranches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule .

And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, an d they bare sons 5 and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah . And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyria ns her neighbors, 6 who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young me n, horsemen 7 riding upon horses. And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men o f Assyria 8 all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herse lf.

oted. These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: 11 and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her. And h er sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her w horedoms which 12 were more than the whoredoms of her sister. She doted upon the Assyrians, govern ors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young 13 14 men. And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.

Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and t he form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: therefore he sp ake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated. 20 And he commanded certain mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Mesh ach, and 21 Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their hosen, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the 22 burning fiery furnace. 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, Mesha ch, and Abed-nego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the 24 burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste: he spake and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the mi dst of the fire? 25 They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the aspect o f the fourth is like a 26 son of the gods. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, ye servants of the Most High G od, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth out of the mid st of the fire. 27 And the satraps, the deputies, and the governors, and the king's counsellors, be ing gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was t

he hair of their head singed, neither were their hosen changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on th em. 28 Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed -nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and hav e changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any g od, except their 29 own God. Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, whi ch speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god that is abl e to deliver after this 30 sort. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon. Daniel 4 1356

It hath seemed good unto me to show the sig ns and wonders 3 that the Most High God hath wrought toward me. How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from gen eration to 45 generation. I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my pa lace. I saw a dream which made me afraid; and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my h ead troubled 6 me. Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might 7 make known unto me the interpretation of the dream. Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers; and I told the dream before them; but they d id not make known 8 unto me the interpretation thereof. But at the last Daniel came in before me, wh ose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I 9 told the dream before him, saying, O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, beca use I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me th e visions of my dream 10 that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof. Thus were the visions of my he ad upon my bed: 11 I saw, and, behold, a tree in the midst of the earth; and the height thereof was great. The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end 12

of all the earth. The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the birds of the heavens d welt in the branches 13 thereof, and all flesh was fed from it. I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, 14 a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven. He cried aloud, and said thus, H ew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the beasts get away from 15 under it, and the fowls from its branches. Nevertheless leave the stump of its r oots 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 16 of heaven: and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: let his heart be changed 17 from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him. The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the hol y ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and gi veth it to 18 whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men. This dream I, king Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as al l the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art a ble; for the spirit 1357

Now 13 let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation. Then was Daniel broug ht in before the king. The king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, who art of the children of the 14 captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah? I have heard o f thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wi sdom are found in 15 thee.

Daniel 6 61 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who shou ld be throughout 2 the whole kingdom; and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps 3 might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the 4 king thought to set him over the whole realm. Then the presidents and the satrap s sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault, 5 forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it again st him concerning 6 the law of his God.

Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the i nterdict that thou hast 14 signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he labored till the going down 15 of the sun to rescue him. Then these men assembled together unto the king, and s aid unto the king, Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdic t nor statute which 16 the king establisheth may be changed.

And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mo uth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; th at nothing might be 18 changed concerning Daniel. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the nigh t fasting; neither 19 were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him. Then the king arose 20 very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to de liver thee from the 21 22 lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent h is angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before him innocency was 23 found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the kin g exceeding

And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the m astery of them, and 25 brake all their bones in pieces, before they came to the bottom of the den. Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied 26 unto you.

Daniel spake a nd said, I saw in 3 my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven brake forth upon the g reat sea. And 4 four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lift ed up from the earth, 5 and made to stand upon two feet as a man; and a man's heart was given to it. And , behold, another beast, a second, like to a bear; and it was raised up on one side, and three rib s were in its mouth 6 between its teeth: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh. After t his I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back four wings of a bird; the b east had also four 7 heads; and dominion was given to it. After this I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourth beast, terrible and powerful, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teet h; it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beasts that 8 were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were pluc ked up by the roots: 9 and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things. I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his r aiment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof 10 burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousands of

thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the j udgment was set, 11 and the books were opened. I beheld at that time because of the voice of the gre at words which the horn spake; I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to 12 be burned with fire. And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away: yet their 13 lives were prolonged for a season and a time. I saw in the night-visions, and, b ehold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the an cient of days, and 14 they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, a nd a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is a n everlasting 15 dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be des troyed.

Yet I taught Ephraim to walk; I took them on my arms; but they knew 4 not that I healed them. I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as 5 they that lift up the yoke on their jaws; and I laid food before them. They shal l not return into the 6 land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to ret urn to me. And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour the m, because of their 7 own counsels. And my people are bent on backsliding from me: though they call th em to him that 8 is on high, none at all will exalt him. How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how s hall I cast thee off, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboiim? my hear t is turned within 9 me, my compassions are kindled together. I will not execute the fierceness of mi ne anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the mi dst of thee; and 10 I will not come in wrath. They shall walk after Jehovah, who will roar like a li on; for he will 11 roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west. They shall come tremb ling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, 12 saith Jehovah. Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Isra el with deceit; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.

Hosea 12 12 1Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually m ultiplieth lies 2 and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into E gypt. Jehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his 3 doings will he recompense him. In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood 4 he had power with God: yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made 5 supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us, even Jehovah, the 6 God of hosts; Jehovah is his memorial name. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep kindness and 7 justice, and wait for thy God continually. He is a trafficker, the balances of d eceit are in his hand: 1382

For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number; 7 his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the jaw-teeth of a lioness.

Seek Jehovah, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, 7 and it devour, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el. Ye who turn justice to wormwood, and 8 cast down righteousness to the earth, seek him that maketh the Pleiades and Orio n, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night; that c alleth for the waters 9 of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth (Jehovah is his name ); that bringeth 10 sudden destruction upon the strong, so that destruction cometh upon the fortress . They hate him 11 that reproveth in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly. Forasmuc h therefore as ye trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him of wheat: ye have built ho uses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but y e shall not drink the 12 wine thereof. For I know how manifold are your transgressions, and how mighty ar e your sins-ye that afflict the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy in the g

ate from their right. 13 14 Therefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an evi l time. Seek good, 15 and not evil, that ye may live; and so Jehovah, the God of hosts, will be with y ou, as ye say. Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish justice in the gate: it may be that J ehovah, the God of 16 hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. Therefore thus saith Jehovah , the God of hosts, the Lord: Wailing shall be in all the broad ways; and they shall say in a ll the streets, Alas! Alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful in lamentation to 17 wailing. And in all vineyards shall be wailing; for I will pass through the mids t of thee, saith 18 Jehovah. Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! Wherefore would ye have th e day of 19 Jehovah?

pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and shalt dwell in the field, and shalt come even unto Ba bylon: there shalt 11 thou be rescued; there will Jehovah redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. And now many nations are assembled against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our ey e see our desire upon 12 Zion. But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his cou nsel; for he 13 hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor.

The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. Jehovah is a jealous God and avengeth; Jehovah avengeth and is full of wrath; Jehovah taketh vengeanc e on his 3 adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. Jehovah is slow to anger, a nd great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty: Jehovah hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and 4 the clouds are the dust of his feet. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the 5 rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. T he mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea , the world, and all 6 that dwell therein. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in t he fierceness of 7 his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder b y him. Jehovah is 8 good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge i n him. But with an over-running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness. 9 What do ye devise against Jehovah? he will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second 10 time. For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consu med utterly as 11 dry stubble. There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jeh ovah, that counselleth 12

wickedness. Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise ma ny, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no 13 14 more. And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in s under. And Jehovah hath given 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 m ake thy grave; for 15 thou art vile. Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tid ings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no m ore pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. Nahum 2 1409

Behold ye among the nations, and look, and wonder marvellously; for I am working a work in your days, which ye 6 will not believe though it be told you. For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, 7 that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.

Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves; and their horsemen press proudly on: yea, their horsemen come from far; they fly as an eagle that h asteth to devour. 9 They come all of them for violence; the set of their faces is forwards; and they gather captives as 10 the sand.

She obeyed n ot the voice; 3 she received not correction; she trusted not in Jehovah; she drew not near to he r God. Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the 4 morrow. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profane d the sanctuary, 5 they have done violence to the law. Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his justice to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame. 6 I have cut off nations; their battlements are desolate; I have made their street s waste, so that none 7 passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there i s no inhabitant. I said, Only fear thou me; receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, acc ording to all that I 8 have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doing s. Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my deter mination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignatio n, even all my 9 fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. For then will I turn to the peoples of a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehov ah, to serve him 10 with one consent. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the dau ghter of my 11 dispersed, shall bring mine offering. In that day shalt thou not be put to shame for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the

midst of thee thy 12 proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in my holy mountain. Bu t I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of Jehovah. 13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a dec eitful tongue be 14 found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

Then 4 came the word of Jehovah by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it a time for you you rselves to dwell 5 in your ceiled houses, while this house lieth waste? Now therefore thus saith Je hovah of hosts: 6

Consider your ways. 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 7 wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts : Consider your 8 ways. Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will tak e pleasure in it, 9 and I will be glorified, saith Jehovah. Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith Jehovah of hosts.

Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of Jehovah unto Zechar iah the son of 8 Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying, I saw in the night, and, behold , a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle-trees that were in the bottom; and be hind him there 9 were horses, red, sorrel, and white. Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that 10 talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these are.

And they answered the angel of Jehovah that stood among the myrtle-tr ees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. 12 Then the angel of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long wilt t hou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indig nation these 13 threescore and ten years?

I have loved you, saith Jehovah. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother, saith Jehovah: yet I loved Jacob; 3 but Esau I hated, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the 4 wilderness. Whereas Edom saith, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places; thus saith Jehovah of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; an d men shall call them 5 The border of wickedness, and The people against whom Jehovah hath indignation f or ever. And 6 your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, Jehovah be magnified beyond the border of Israel. A son honoreth his father, and a servant his master: if then I am a father, where is m ine honor? and if I am a master, where is my fear? saith Jehovah of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. 7 And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar. And 8 ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of Jehovah is c ontemptible. And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, it is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, it is no evil! Present it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee? or will he accep t thy person? saith 9 Jehovah of hosts. And now, I pray you, entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious unto us: 10 this hath been by your means: will he accept any of your persons? saith Jehovah of hosts. Oh that there were one among you that would shut the doors, that ye might not kindl e fire on mine altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, saith Jehovah of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at 11

your hand. For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same m y name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure 12 offering: for my name shall be great among the Gentiles, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of Jehovah is polluted, and the fruit thereof, eve n its food, is contemptible. 13 Ye say also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith Je hovah of hosts; and ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick; th us ye bring the 14 offering: should I accept this at your hand? saith Jehovah. But cursed be the de ceiver, who hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a blemished thing ; for I am a great King, saith Jehovah of hosts, and my name is terrible among the Gentiles.

My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him that he might fear; and h e feared me, and 6 stood in awe of my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and unrighteousness was not found 7 in his lips: he walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many away fr om iniquity. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mou th; for he is the 8 messenger of Jehovah of hosts. But ye are turned aside out of the way; ye have c aused many to 9 stumble in the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith Jehovah of hos ts. Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye hav e not kept my 10 ways, but have had respect of persons in the law. Have we not all one father? ha th not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, profanin g the covenant 11 of our fathers? Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of Jehovah which he loveth, and hath married the 12 daughter of a foreign god. Jehovah will cut off, to the man that doeth this, him that waketh and him that answereth, out of the tents of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto Jehovah of 13 hosts. And this again ye do: ye cover the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weep ing, and with sighing, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, neither receiveth it with good will 14 at your hand. Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because Jehovah hath been witness between t hee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and

15 the wife of thy covenant. And did he not make one, although he had the residue o f the Spirit? And wherefore one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, a nd let none deal 16 treacherously against the wife of his youth. For I hate putting away, saith Jeho vah, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith Jehovah of hosts: therefore take heed 17 to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Ye have wearied Jehovah with you r words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? In that ye say, Every one that doeth evil is g ood in the sight of Jehovah, and he delighteth in them; or where is the God of justice? Malachi 3 1436

And I will rebuke the devoure r for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the 12 time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts. And all nations shall call you happy; for ye shall be a 13 delightsome land, saith Jehovah of hosts. Your words have been stout against me, saith Jehovah. 14 Yet ye say, What have we spoken against thee? Ye have said, It is vain to serve God; and what profit is it that we have kept his charge, and that we have walked mournfully be fore Jehovah of 15 hosts? And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are built up; yea, they 16 tempt God, and escape. Then they that feared Jehovah spake one with another; and Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared 17 Jehovah, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith Jehovah o f hosts, even mine own possession, in the day that I make; and I will spare them, as a man spa reth his own son 18 that serveth him.

Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all J udaea, and all 6 the region round about the Jordan; and they were baptized of him in the river Jo rdan, confessing 7 their sins. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his ba ptism, he said 8 unto them, Ye offspring of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come ? Bring forth 9 therefore fruit worthy of repentance: 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. 10 And even now the axe lieth at the root of the trees: every tree therefore that b ringeth not forth 11 good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you in water u nto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to b ear: he shall baptize 12 you in the Holy Spirit and in fire: whose fan is in his hand, and he will thorou ghly cleanse his threshing-floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but the chaff he will burn up with unquenchable fire. 13 14 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.

Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittl e shall in no wise 19 pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. Whosoever therefore sha ll break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the k ingdom of heaven: 20 but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom o f heaven. For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of t he scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21 Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and who soever shall 22 kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his broth er, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. 23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath 24 aught against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy 25 brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, w hile thou art

with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee 26 to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing. 27 28 Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: but I say unto y ou, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in 29 his heart. And if thy right eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into 30 hell. And if thy right hand causeth thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it fro m thee: for it is 31 profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole bod y go into hell. It 32 was said also, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: but I say unto you, that every one that putteth away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, maketh her an adulteress: and whosoever shall marry her when she is put away committeth adultery. 1445

And in praying use not vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do: for they think 8 that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not therefore like unto the m: for your Father 9 knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner theref ore pray ye. Our 10 Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be do ne, as in 11 12 heaven, so on earth. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also 13 have forgiven our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. 14 15 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive y ou. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespass es. 16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They h ave received their 17 18 reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face; that th ou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father, who seeth in secret, shall recompense thee. 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where 20 thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither 21 moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: fo r where thy 22 treasure is, there will thy heart be also. The lamp of the body is the eye: if t herefore thine eye be

23 single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy who le body shall be full 24 of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is th e darkness! No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or e lse he will hold to 25 one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for yo ur body, what ye shall 26 put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? Behol d the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father 27 feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they?

And there were gathered unto him great multitudes, so that he entered into a boat, and sat; and all the multitude stood on the 3 beach. And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower w ent forth to 4 sow; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and de voured them: 5 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straig htway they sprang 6 up, because they had no deepness of earth: and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and 7 because they had no root, they withered away. And others fell upon the thorns; a nd the thorns 8 grew up and choked them: and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit , some a 9 hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He that hath ears, let him hear. 10 11 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parabl es? And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of th e kingdom of 12 heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that which he hath. 13

Therefore speak I to them in parables; because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, 14 neither do they understand. And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, w hich saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: 1459

So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels 50 shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 51 52 Have ye understood all these things?

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison fo r the sake of 4 Herodias, his brother Philip's wife. For John said unto him, It is not lawful fo r thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they c ounted him as 6 a prophet. But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias danced in th e midst, and 78 pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she sho uld ask. And she, being put forward by her mother, saith, Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist. 9 And the king was grieved; but for the sake of his oaths, and of them that sat at meat with him, he 10 11 commanded it to be given; and he sent and beheaded John in the prison.

And his disciples came, and took up the corpse, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus. 13 Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place ap art: and 14 when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities.

For God said, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, He that speaketh evil of father or 5 mother, let him die the death. But ye say, whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, That 6 wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is given to God; he shall not h onor his father. 7 And ye have made void the word of God because of your tradition. Ye hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 8 This people honoreth me with their lips; But their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men. 10 11 And he called to him the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: No t that which entereth into the mouth defileth the man; but that which proceedeth out of the mouth, this 12 defileth the man. Then came the disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees 13 were offended, when they heard this saying? But he answered and said, Every plan t which my 14 heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they are blind guides. And if 15 the blind guide the blind, both shall fall into a pit. And Peter answered and sa id unto him, Declare 16 17 unto us the parable. And he said, Are ye also even yet without understanding? Pe

For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornica tions, thefts, false 20 witness, railings: these are the things which defile the man; but to eat with un washen hands defileth not the man. 21 22 And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon.

For the 4 foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: but the wise took oi l in their vessels 56 with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept . But at midnight 7 there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. Then all thos e virgins arose, 8 and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil ; for our lamps 9 are going out.

And Jesus seeing their faith saith unto the sick of t he palsy, Son, thy sins 67 are forgiven.

But that ye may know that the 11 Son of man hath authority on earth to forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy), I say unto 12 thee, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house.

And other fell on the rocky ground, where 6 it had not much earth; and straightway it sprang up, because it had no deepness of earth: and when 7 the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away .

There was in the days of Herod, king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the c ourse of Abijah: and 6 he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that sta nd in the presence 20 of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these good tidings. And behold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall com e to pass, because thou 21 believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

And 3 a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick and at the point of death. And when he heard concerning Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the Jews, asking him that he would come and 4 save his servant. And they, when they came to Jesus, besought him earnestly, say ing, He is worthy 5 that thou shouldest do this for him; for he loveth our nation, and himself built us our synagogue. 6 And Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centur ion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself; for I am not worthy that thou shouldest 7 come under my roof: wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say the 8 word, and my servant shall be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, h aving under myself soldiers: and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my 9 servant, Do this, and he doeth it. And when Jesus heard these things, he marvell ed at him, and turned and said unto the multitude that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great 10 faith, no, not in Israel. And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole. 11 And it came to pass soon afterwards, that he went to a city called Nain; and his disciples went 12 with him, and a great multitude. Now when he drew near to the gate of the city, behold, there was carried out one that was dead, the only son of his mother, and she was a wid ow: and much 13 people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said

14 unto her, Weep not. And he came nigh and touched the bier: and the bearers stood still. And he 15 said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And 16 he gave him to his mother. And fear took hold on all: and they glorified God, sa ying, A great 17 prophet is arisen among us: and, God hath visited his people. And this report we nt forth concerning 18 him in the whole of Judaea, and all the region round about. And the disciples of John told him 19 of all these things. And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to the Lord, saying, 20 Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? And when the men were come unto him, they said, John the Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? 21 In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and on many that were blind 22 he bestowed sight.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Luke 15 215 1Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him to hear him. A nd both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eate th with them. 34 And he spake unto them this parable, saying, What man of you, having a hundred s heep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, a nd go after that 5 which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, sayi ng unto them, 7 Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous 8 persons, who need no repentance. Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if s he lose one 9 piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it? And when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbors, saying, Rejoi ce with me, for I 10 have found the piece which I had lost. Even so, I say unto you, there is joy in

the presence of the 11 12 angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. And he said, A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of thy subst ance that falleth to 13 me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after, the younger so n gathered all together and took his journey into a far country; and there he wasted his substa nce with riotous 14 living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that country; and he began to 15 be in want. And he went and joined himself to one of the citizens of that countr y; and he sent 16 him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the 17 swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

And he arose, and came to his father. But while he was yet afar off, his father saw him, and was moved 21 with compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, 22 I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight: I am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth quickly the best robe, and put it on hi m; and put a ring on 23 his hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and make 24 merry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.

And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not G od, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest she wear me out by her continual 67 coming. And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith. And shall not God avenge 8 his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them? I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on 9 the earth? And he spake also this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were 10 righteous, and set all others at nought: Two men went up into the temple to pray ; the one a 11 Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with hims elf, God, I thank 12 thee, that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or eve n as this publican. I 13 fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I get. But the publican, stand ing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote his breast, saying, God, be thou merciful to 14 me a sinner. I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather th an the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be humbled; but he that humbleth himself s hall be exalted. 15 And they were bringing unto him also their babes, that he should touch them: but when the

16 disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, saying, Suf fer the little 17 children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for to such belongeth the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child , he shall in no 18 wise enter therein. And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Teacher, what sh all I do to inherit 19 eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, s ave one, even 20 God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do 21 not bear false witness, Honor thy father and mother. And he said, All these thin gs have I observed 22 from my youth up.

And behold, a man called by nam e 3 Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich. And he sought to see Je sus who he was; 4 and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. And he ran on bef ore, and climbed 5 up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-da y I must abide 67 at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. And w hen they 8 saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a s inner. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have 9 wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold. And Jesus said unto him , To-day is 10 salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man 11 came to seek and to save that which was lost. And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God 12 was immediately to appear. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to 13 receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called ten servants of his, and gave them 14 ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye herewith till I come. But his citizens hated him, and 15 sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us. An d it came to

pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commande d these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might k now what they 16 had gained by trading. And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound ha th made ten 17 pounds more. And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wa st found 18 faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. And the second c ame, saying, Thy 19 pound, Lord, hath made five pounds. And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which th ou layedst not 22 down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow. He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant.

And he answered and said unto them, I also will ask yo u a question; and 45 tell me: The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or from men? And they reasoned with 6 themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why did ye not be lieve him? But if we shall say, From men; all the people will stone us: for they are persuaded that John was a 78 prophet. And they answered, that they knew not whence it was.

And he began to speak unto the p eople this parable: A man planted a vineyard, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another co untry for a long 10 time. And at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant, that they should give him of the 11 fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. And he sent yet another servant: and him also they beat, and handled him shamefully, and sent hi m away empty. 12 13 And he sent yet a third: and him also they wounded, and cast him forth. And the lord of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; it may be they will

reverence him. 14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned one with another, saying, This is the heir; let 15 us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. And they cast him forth out of th e vineyard, and 16 killed him. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do unto them? He will c ome and destroy these husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. And when they heard it , they said, God 17 forbid.

And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them. 56 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he consented, and soug ht opportunity 7 to deliver him unto them in the absence of the multitude. And the day of unleave ned bread came, 8 on which the passover must be sacrificed.

And Pilate asked him, sayin g, Art thou the 4 King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest. And Pilate said unt o the chief 5 priests and the multitudes, I find no fault in this man. But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galil ee even unto this 67 place. But when Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean. And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also wa s at Jerusalem in 8 these days. Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a lon g time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracl e done by him. 9 10 And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and 11 the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and 12 mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate. And He rod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity bet ween themselves. 13 14 And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I ha ving examined 15 him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accu se him: no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hat

And they remembered his words, and returned from the tomb, and told all 10 these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. Now they were Mary Magdalene, a nd Joanna, and Mary the mother of James: and the other women with them told these things unto t he apostles.

But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy 12 bed, and walk. They asked him, Who is the man that said unto thee, Take up thy b ed, and walk? 13 But he that was healed knew not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude 14 being in the place.

And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs whic h he did on them 34 that were sick. And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his d isciples. Now 5 the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread , that these may 67 eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings' worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little. 89 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, who 10 hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many? Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about 11 five thousand. Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he dist ributed to them 12 that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would. And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost. 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley 14 loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten. When therefore the people saw the sign 15 which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the wor

ld. Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again 16 into the mountain himself alone. And when evening came, his disciples went down unto the sea; 17 and they entered into a boat, and were going over the sea unto Capernaum. And it was now dark, 18 and Jesus had not yet come to them. And the sea was rising by reason of a great wind that blew. 19 When therefore they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they beh old Jesus 20 walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the boat: and they were afraid. But he saith unto them, 21 It is I; be not afraid. They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat : and straightway 22 the boat was at the land whither they were going. On the morrow the multitude th at stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, save one, and that Jesus entered not 23 with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples went away alone (howbei t there came boats 24 from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had gi ven thanks): when the multitude therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, the y themselves got into 1588

Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, wa s at hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy dis ciples also may 4 behold thy works which thou doest. For no man doeth anything in secret, and hims elf seeketh to 5 be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world. For even his brethren 6 did not believe on him. Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come ; but your time 7 is always ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works 8 are evil. Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled. 9 10 And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when his brethren were 11 gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in se cret. The Jews 12 therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? And there was much mur muring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth 13 14 the multitude astray. Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. But w hen it was 15 now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. The Jews t herefore marvelled, 16 saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? Jesus therefore answ ered them and 17 said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man willeth to do hi

Others said, It is he: others said, No , but he is like him. 10 11 He said, I am he. They said therefore unto him, How then were thine eyes opened?

Mary therefore took a pound of ointment o f pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled 4 with the odor of the ointment. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, that sh ould betray him, 56 saith, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred shillings, and given to the poor? Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took 7 away what was put therein. Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to keep it against t he day of my burying. 89 For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always. The common peop le therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might 10 see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. But the chief priests took c ounsel that they 11 might put Lazarus also to death; because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, 12 and believed on Jesus. On the morrow a great multitude that had come to the feas t, when they 13 heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of the palm trees, a nd went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of th e Lord, even the 14 15 King of Israel.

And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him that sent me. I am come a light 47 into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness. An d if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save 48 the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that jud geth him: the 49 word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I spake not fro m myself; but the Father that sent me, he hath given me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is life eternal: the things therefore which I sp eak, even as the Father hath said unto me, so I speak. John 13 13 1Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come t hat he should depart out of this world unto his Father, having loved his own that were in the world, he loved them 2 unto the end. And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, 3 Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all the thi ngs into his hands, 4 and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto God, riseth from supper, and lay eth aside his 5 garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself. Then he poureth water into th e basin, and 6 began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. So 7

he cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? Jesus answered and 8 said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereaft er. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part 9 with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands a nd my head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: 11 and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are 12 not all clean. So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he 13 said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me, Teacher, and, Lord: and ye say 14 well; for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, y e also ought to 1604

The Jews said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to deat h: that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die. 33 Pilate therefore entered again into the Praetorium, and called Jesus, and said u nto him, Art thou 34 the King of the Jews? Jesus answered, Sayest thou this of thyself, or did others tell it thee 35 concerning me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew?

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by th at law he ought 8 to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was 9 the more afraid; and he entered into the Praetorium again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? 10 But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? 11 Knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify th ee? Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: 12 therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin. Upon this Pilate soug ht to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that 13 maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavem ent, but in Hebrew, 14 Gabbatha.

And Pilate wrote a title also, and p ut it on the cross.

This title there fore read many of the Jews, for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the c ity; and it was 21 written in Hebrew, and in Latin, and in Greek. The chief priests of the Jews the refore said to 22 Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews . Pilate answered, 23 What I have written I have written. The soldiers therefore, when they had crucif ied Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also the coat: no w the coat was without 24 seam, woven from the top throughout.

She runneth therefore, a nd cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, Th ey have taken 3 away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter t herefore went 4 forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. And they ran both together: and the 5 other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb; and stooping and lookin g in, he seeth the 6 linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.

Then entered in therefore 9 the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. F or as yet they knew 10 not the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. So the disciples went away a gain unto their 11 own home. But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, sh e stooped 12 and looked into the tomb; and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one 13 at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 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 14 him. When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standi ng, and knew 15 not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seeke

Being therefore by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he 34 hath poured forth this, which ye see and hear. For David ascended not into the h eavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet. 36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly, that God hath made him bot h Lord and 37 Christ, this Jesus whom ye crucified.

And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; k ill and eat. But 9 I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mo uth. But a voice 10 answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou co mmon. And 11 this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded Jews a nd Greeks. 5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the word, 6 testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ. And when they opposed themselv es and blasphemed, he shook out his raiment and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from 7 henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. And he departed thence, and went into th e house of a certain man named Titus Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 8 And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house ; and many of the 9 Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. And the Lord said unto Paul in the night by a 10 vision, Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace: for I am with thee, and no man shall set 11 on thee to harm thee: for I have much people in this city. And he dwelt there a year and six 12 months, teaching the word of God among them. But when Gallio was proconsul of Ac haia, the 13 Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment-se at, saying, 14

This man persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. But when Paul was ab out to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked villany, O 15 ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: but if they are questions abo ut words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves; I am not minded to be a judge of these matters. 16 17 And he drove them from the judgment-seat. And they all laid hold on Sosthenes, t he ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment-seat. And Gallio cared for none of these things. 18 And Paul, having tarried after this yet many days, took his leave of the brethre n, and sailed thence for Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila: having shorn his head in Cenchreae ; for he had a vow. 19 And they came to Ephesus, and he left them there: but he himself entered into th e synagogue, 20 and reasoned with the Jews.

And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them that 21 have believed; and they are all zealous for the law: and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Mose s, telling them not 22 to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.

But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is str angled, and from 26 fornication. Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with the m went into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every 27 one of them.

My manner of life then from my youth up, which was fr om the beginning 5 among mine own nation and at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; having knowledge of m e from the 6 first, if they be willing to testify, that after the straitest sect of our relig ion I lived a Pharisee.

And concerning 8 this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king! Why is it judged incredible with you , if God doth 9 raise the dead? I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things cont rary to the name 10 of Jesus of Nazareth. And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were pu t to death I gave 11 my vote against them. And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I str ove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even u nto foreign 12 cities. Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission o f the chief 13 priests, at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brig htness of the 14

And when we were al l fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, wh y persecutest thou 15 me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad. And I said, Who art thou, Lord ? And the Lord 16 said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the thing s wherein thou hast 17 seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and 18 from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee, to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission o f sins and an 19 inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.

For what saith 4 the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righte ousness. Now 5 to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt. But to him that worketh 6 not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over them that had not sinned after th e likeness of 15 Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come. But not as the tr espass, so also is the free gift. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, 16 and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound unto the many. An d not as through one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment came of one unto condemnation, but the free gift 17 came of many trespasses unto justification. For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more shall they that receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of 18 righteousness reign in life through the one, even Jesus Christ. So then as throu gh one trespass the judgment came unto all men to condemnation; even so through one act of right eousness the 19 free gift came unto all men to justification of life. For as through the one man 's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one shall the many be made righteous. 20 And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin aboun ded, grace did 21 abound more exceedingly: that, as sin reigned in death, even so might grace reig n through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law throug h the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we 5 might bring forth fruit unto God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful pass ions, which were 6 through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we se rve in newness of 7 the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveti ng, except the 8 law had said, Thou shalt not covet: but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me thr ough the 9 commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin is dead. And I wa s alive apart 10 from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died; and t he 11 commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death: for sin, findin g occasion, 12 through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me. So that the law is holy, and the 13 commandment holy, and righteous, and good. Did then that which is good become de ath unto

me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to m e through that 14 which is good; --that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful. For we 15 know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I know not: 16 for not what I would, that do I practise; but what I hate, that I do. But if wha t I would not, that 17 I do, I consent unto the law that it is good. So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth 18 in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present 19 with me, but to do that which is good is not. For the good which I would I do no t: but the evil 20 which I would not, that I practise. But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but 21 sin which dwelleth in me. I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, ev il is present. 22 23 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is 24 in my members.

So then I of myself with the mind, in deed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 8 81 2 There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the 3 Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. Fo r what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the l ikeness of sinful 4 flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the ordinance of the law mig ht be fulfilled in 5 us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh mind the things 6 of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For t he mind of the flesh is 7 death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: because the mind of the fle sh is enmity against 8 God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh 9 cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God 10 dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his . And if Christ is 11 in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of right eousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from 12 the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwel leth in you. So 13 then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: for i

f ye live after the flesh, 14 ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shal l live. For as many 15 as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

But, because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. 34 Let the husband render unto the wife her due: and likewise also the wife unto th e husband. The wife hath not power over her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the hu sband hath not 5 power over his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it b e by consent for a season, that ye may give yourselves unto prayer, and may be together again, th at Satan tempt you 67 not because of your incontinency. But this I say by way of concession, not of co mmandment. Yet I would that all men were even as I myself. Howbeit each man hath his own gift f rom God, one 8 after this manner, and another after that. But I say to the unmarried and to wid ows, It is good for 9 them if they abide even as I. But if they have not continency, let them marry: f or it is better to 10 marry than to burn. But unto the married I give charge, yea not I, but the Lord, That the wife 11 depart not from her husband (but should she depart, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled 12 to her husband); and that the husband leave not his wife. But to the rest say I, not the Lord: If any brother hath an unbelieving wife, and she is content to dwell with him, let him not leave her. 13 And the woman that hath an unbelieving husband, and he is content to dwell with her, let her 14 not leave her husband. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, an d the unbelieving

15 wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. Yet if the unbelieving departeth, let him depart: the brother or the sister is not unde r bondage in such 16 cases: but God hath called us in peace. For how knowest thou, O wife, whether th ou shalt save 17 thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O husband, whether thou shalt save thy wife? O nly, as the Lord hath distributed to each man, as God hath called each, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all 18 the churches. Was any man called being circumcised?

I think therefore that this is good by reason of the distress that is upon us, nam ely, that it is good for 27 a man to be as he is. Art thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art tho u loosed from a 28 wife? Seek not a wife. But shouldest thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she 29 hath not sinned. Yet such shall have tribulation in the flesh: and I would spare you. But this I say, brethren, the time is shortened, that henceforth both those that have wives may be as though 30 they had none; and those that weep, as though they wept not; and those that rejo ice, as though 31 they rejoiced not; and those that buy, as though they possessed not; and those t hat use the world, 32 as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away. But I w ould have you to be free from cares. He that is unmarried is careful for the things of the Lord, how he may please the 33 Lord: but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 34 and is divided. So also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful fo r the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married i s careful for the things 35 of the world, how she may please her husband. And this I say for your own profit ; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is seemly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without 36 distraction. But if any man thinketh that he behaveth himself unseemly toward hi s virgin daughter,

if she be past the flower of her age, and if need so requireth, let him do what he will; he sinneth 37 not; let them marry. But he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no neces sity, but hath power 38 as touching in his own heart, to keep his own virgin daughter, shall do well. So then both he that giveth his own virgin daughter in marriage doeth well; and he that giveth her no t in marriage shall 39 do better. A wife is bound for so long time as her husband liveth; but if the hu sband be dead, she 40 is free to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. But she is happier if she abide as she is, after my judgment: and I think that I also have the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 8 1701

K nowledge 2 puffeth up, but love edifieth. If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet 34 as he ought to know; but if any man loveth God, the same is known by him. Concer ning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in th e world, and that there 5 is no God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven o r on earth; as there 6 are gods many, and lords many; yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom a re all things, and 7 we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we thr ough him. Howbeit there is not in all men that knowledge: but some, being used until now to the id ol, eat as of a thing 8 sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. But food will not commend us 9 to God: neither, if we eat not, are we the worse; nor, if we eat, are we the bet ter. But take heed 10 lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to the weak. For if a man see thee who hast knowledge sitting at meat in an idol's temple, will not his consci ence, if he is weak, 11 be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols? For through thy knowledge he th at is weak 12 perisheth, the brother for whose sake Christ died. And thus, sinning against the brethren, and 13 wounding their conscience when it is weak, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore, that I cause not my bro

ther to stumble. 1 Corinthians 9 91 Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not ye m y work in 2 the Lord? If to others I am not an apostle, yet at least I am to you; for the se al of mine apostleship 34 are ye in the Lord. My defence to them that examine me is this. Have we no right to eat and to 5 drink? Have we no right to lead about a wife that is a believer, even as the res t of the apostles, 6 and the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? Or I only and Barnabas, have we not a right to forbear 7 working? What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not 8 the fruit thereof?

Howbeit with most of them God was not well 6 pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our e xamples, to the 7 intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were 8 some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose u p to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9 Neither let us make trial of the Lord, as some of them made trial, and perished by the serpents. 10 11 Neither murmur ye, as some of them murmured, and perished by the destroyer. Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admon ition, upon 12 whom the ends of the ages are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest 13 he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temp tation make also the 14 15 way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. Wherefore, my beloved, flee fro m idolatry. I 16 speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, i s it not a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a communio n of the body

17 of Christ? seeing that we, who are many, are one bread, one body: for we are all partake of the 18 one bread. Behold Israel after the flesh: have not they that eat the sacrifices communion with 19 the altar? What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or tha t an idol is anything? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demon s, and not to God: 21 and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. Ye cannot drink the c up of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons. 22 23 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?

Bu t 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 4 Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishon oreth his head. 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her he ad; for it is 6 one and the same thing as if she were shaven. For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: 7 but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the 89 glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man: for neither was 10 the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man: for this cause ought t he woman to 11 have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels. Nevertheless, neith er is the woman 12 without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, 13 so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.

Ye kno w that when 3 ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might led. Wherefore I make known unto you, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is a nathema; and no 4 man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same 56 Spirit. And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. And there are diversities of 7 workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. But to each one is gi ven the 8 manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal. For to one is given through the Sp irit the word of 9 wisdom; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit: to a nother faith, in 10 the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; and to ano ther workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; to ano ther divers kinds of 11 tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh the one and the same 12 Spirit, dividing to each one severally even as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many 13 members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is C hrist. For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether b ond or free; and 14 15 were all made to drink of one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot 16 shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body. And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the 17

body. If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were h earing, where 18 were the smelling? But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body , even as it 19 20 pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now they are many 21 members, but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of the e: or again the 22 head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much rather, those members of the body which 23 seem to be more feeble are necessary: and those parts of the body, which we thin k to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant 24 comeliness; whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body tog ether, giving 25 more abundant honor to that part which lacked; that there should be no schism in the body; but 26 that the members should have the same care one for another.

And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all my steries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love , I am nothing. 3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burne d, but have not 4 love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth no t; love vaunteth not 5 itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, 67 taketh not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; beareth 8 all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love n ever faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they sha ll cease; whether 9 10 there be knowledge, it shall be done away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; but 11 when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away.

For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God; for no man und erstandeth; but 3 in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men e dification, and 4 exhortation, and consolation. He that speaketh in a tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth 5 edifieth the church. Now I would have you all speak with tongues, but rather tha t ye should prophesy: and greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, 6 that the church may receive edifying. But now, brethren, if I come unto you spea king with tongues, what shall I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or o f knowledge, or of 7 prophesying, or of teaching? Even things without life, giving a voice, whether p ipe or harp, if 8 they give not a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped o r harped? For if 9 the trumpet give an uncertain voice, who shall prepare himself for war? So also ye, unless ye utter by the tongue speech easy to understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? f or ye will be 10 speaking into the air. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the worl d, and no kind is 11 without signification. If then I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be t o him that speaketh 12 a barbarian, and he that speaketh will be a barbarian unto me. So also ye, since ye are zealous 13 of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may abound unto the edifying of the church. Whe refore let him 14 that speaketh in a tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in a tongue,

my spirit prayeth, 15 but my understanding is unfruitful. 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 t he understanding also. 16 Else if thou bless with the spirit, how shall he that filleth the place of the u nlearned say the Amen 17 at thy giving of thanks, seeing he knoweth not what thou sayest? For thou verily givest thanks 18 19 well, but the other is not edified. I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all: howbeit in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, 20 than ten thousand words in a tongue. Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in m alice be ye babes, 21 but in mind be men. In the law it is written, By men of strange tongues and by t he lips of strangers 22 will I speak unto this people; and not even thus will they hear me, saith the Lo rd. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to the unbelieving: but pr ophesying is for a 23 sign, not to the unbelieving, but to them that believe.

What i s it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath 27 a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any m an speaketh in a 28 tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and that in turn; and let one in terpret: but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to hims elf, and to God. 29 30 And let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others discern. But if a revelation be 31 made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence. For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all 32 may learn, and all may be exhorted; and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets; 33 34 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the s aints, let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in 35 subjection, as also saith the law. And if they would learn anything, let them as k their own husbands 36 at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church. What? was it fro m you that the 37 word of God went forth? or came it unto you alone?

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there i s one flesh of men, 40 and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fishes. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the 41 terrestrial is another.

Howbeit that 47 is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is s piritual. The first man 48 is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.

Now when I came to Troas for 13 the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord, I had no r elief for my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I wen t forth into 14 Macedonia.

And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as the many, corrupting the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ. 2 Corinthians 3 31 Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? or need we, as do some, epistles of 2 commendation to you or from you?

For our light afflict ion, which is 18 for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of gl ory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 5 51 For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a building from 2 God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens. For verily in this we groan, longing 3 to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven: if so be that being clothed we shall 4 not be found naked. For indeed we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being bu rdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but that we would be clothed upon, that what is mort al may be 5 swallowed up of life. Now he that wrought us for this very thing is God, who gav e unto us the 6 earnest of the Spirit.

But when I saw that they walked not u prightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Cephas before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as do the 15 Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, how compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We 16 being Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Chri st Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the 17 law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we sought to be justified in Chri st, we ourselves also 18 were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build up a gain those things 19 which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor. For I through the law died unt o the law, that I 20 might live unto God. I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I th at live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the f aith which is in the Son 21 of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. I do not make void the grace o f God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought. Galatians 3 31 O foolish Galatians, who did bewitch you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was ope nly set forth 2 crucified? This only would I learn from you. Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or 3 by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye n

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 78 Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. And th e scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel bef orehand unto 9 Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. So then they that are of faith are blessed 10 with the faithful Abraham.

So we 4 also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the wor ld: but when 5 the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born unde r the law, that 6 he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And 7 because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, cryin g, Abba, Father. So 8 that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir thr ough God. Howbeit 9 at that time, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to them that by nature are no gods: but now that ye have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how turn ye back ag ain to the weak 10 and beggarly rudiments, whereunto ye desire to be in bondage over again? Ye obse rve days, and 11 months, and seasons, and years. I am afraid of you, lest by any means I have bes towed labor 12 upon you in vain. I beseech you, brethren, become as I am, for I also am become as ye are. Ye 13 did me no wrong: but ye know that because of an infirmity of the flesh I preache d the gospel 14 unto you the first time: and that which was a temptation to you in my flesh ye d espised not, nor 15 rejected; but ye received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

Howbeit the son by the handmaid i s born after 24 the flesh; but the son by the freewoman is born through promise.

Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the 3 concision: for we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and gl ory in Christ 4 Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh: though I myself might have confidenc e even in the 5 flesh: if any other man thinketh to have confidence in the flesh, I yet more: ci rcumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as t ouching the law, a 6 Pharisee; as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as touching the righteousnes s which is in the 7 law, found blameless.

Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you thr ough his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, a nd not after Christ: 9 10 for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, and in him ye are mad e full, who is 11 the head of all principality and power: in whom ye were also circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumc ision of Christ; 12 having been buried with him in baptism, wherein ye were also raised with him thr ough faith in 13 the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

15 us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to t he cross; having despoiled the principalities and the powers, he made a show of them openly, triu mphing over them 16 in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a f east day or a new 17 18 moon or a sabbath day: which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.

As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was go ing into Macedonia, 4 that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispe nsation of God 5 which is in faith; so do I now.

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully, as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and mu rderers of mothers, 10 for manslayers, for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstea lers, for liars, 11 for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctri ne; according to 12 the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided 10 hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; but (which becometh women professing godliness) 11 12 through good works. Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. But I pe rmit not a 13 woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness. For Ada m was first 14 formed, then Eve; and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath f allen into 15 transgression: but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continu e in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.

I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pu re conscience, 4 how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day longi ng to see thee, 5 remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; having been reminded of th e unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunic e; and, I am 6 persuaded, in thee also. For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou sti r up the gift of 7 God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands. For God gave us not a s pirit of fearfulness; 8 but of power and love and discipline. Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor 9 of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power o f God; who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose 10 and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought l ife and immortality 11 to light through the gospel, whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostl e, and a teacher. 12 For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committe d unto him against 13 that day.

For he hath been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by so m uch as he that 4 built the house hath more honor than the house. For every house is builded by so me one; but he 5 that built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a 6 testimony of those things which were afterward to be spoken; but Christ as a son , over his house; whose house are we, if we hold fast our boldness and the glorying of our hope fi rm unto the end. 7 Wherefore, even as the Holy Spirit saith, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, 9 Where your fathers tried me by proving me, And saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways; 11 As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. 12 Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart o f unbelief, in 13 falling away from the living God: but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called 14

To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: for we are become partakers 15 of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm unto the end: wh ile it is said, To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16 For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Eg ypt by 17 Moses? And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that si nned, whose 18 bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter i nto his rest, but 19 to them that were disobedient? And we see that they were not able to enter in be cause of unbelief. 1775

For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he ha th said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: 4 although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he hath s aid somewhere 5 of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works; and in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest. 6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good 7 tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience, he agai n defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said be fore), To-day if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts. 89 For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day. There 10 remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest hath 11 himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. Let us therefore give d iligence to enter 12 into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience. For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to t he dividing of soul

and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and int ents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are n aked and laid open 14 before the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Having then a great high priest, who hath 15 passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confessio n. For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; bu t one that hath been 16 in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw nea r with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need. 1776

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God bearing witness in respect of his gifts: and t hrough it he being 5 dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; a nd he was not found, because God translated him: for he hath had witness borne to him that bef ore his translation 6 he had been well-pleasing unto God: And without faith it is impossible to be wel l-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarde r of them that seek 7 after him. By faith Noah, being warned of God concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemn ed the world, and 8 became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance ; and he went out, 9 not knowing whither he went. By faith he became a sojourner in the land of promi se, as in a land 10 not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: for 11 he looked for the city which hath the foundations, whose builder and maker is Go

But if ye are without chastening, whereof all ha ve been made 9 partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore, we had the fathers o f our flesh to

chasten us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjectio n unto the Father 10 of spirits, and live?

Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 34 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. And let patience have i ts perfect work, 5 that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him 6 ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be give n him. But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the se a driven by the wind 78 and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lor d; a doubleminded 9 10 man, unstable in all his ways. But let the brother of low degree glory in his hi gh estate: and the 11 rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass a way. For the sun ariseth with the scorching wind, and withereth the grass: and the flower thereof falleth, and the 12 grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in hi s goings. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall re ceive the crown 13 of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he i s tempted, I 14 am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: but 15 each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then th e lust, when 16 it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth fort h death. Be not

17 deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from ab ove, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow th at is cast by 18 turning. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we shoul d be a kind of 19 firstfruits of his creatures. Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every m an be swift to 20 hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteo usness of God. 21 Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive wit h meekness 22 the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the wor d, and not hearers 23 only, deluding your own selves.

But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the ju dgment-seats? 78 Do not they blaspheme the honorable name by which ye are called? Howbeit if ye f ulfil the royal 9 law, according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: but if ye have 10 respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. For whosoever 11 shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is become guilty of a ll. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou dost not commi t adultery, but 12 killest, thou art become a transgressor of the law. So speak ye, and so do, as m en that are to be 13 judged by a law of liberty.

mercy glorieth against judgment. What doth it profit, my brethren, if a man say he hath faith, 15 but have not works? can that faith save him?

Was not Abraham our father justified by works, in that he offered up Isaac 22 his son upon the altar? Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by wor ks was faith 23 made perfect; and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it 24 was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. Ye see that by 25 works a man is justified, and not only by faith. And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot 26 justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out anoth er way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. James 3 31 Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment. 2 For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a p

And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you , that God is 6 light, and in him is no darkness at all.

If we say 9 that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in hi m.

Little children, it is the last hour: and as ye heard t hat antichrist cometh, 19 even now have there arisen many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they woul d have continued 20 with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are n ot of us.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: ev ery spirit that 3 confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit th at confesseth not Jesus is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist, whereof ye have h eard that it cometh; 4 and now it is in the world already. Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: 5 because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. They are of t he world: therefore 6 speak they as of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that k noweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of t ruth, and the spirit 7 of error. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one th at loveth is begotten 89 of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. He rein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might 10 live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, a nd sent his Son 11 to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, a nd his love is 13 perfected in us: hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he ha th given us of 14 his Spirit. And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father hath sent the So n to be the Saviour

15 of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he 16 in God. And we know and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love ; and he that 17 abideth in love abideth in God, and God abideth in him. Herein is love made perf ect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath p unishment; and he 19 20 that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother wh om he hath seen, cannot 21 love God whom he hath not seen. And this commandment have we from him, that he w ho loveth God love his brother also. 1808

Hereby we know that we love the c hildren of God, 3 when we love God and do his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we k eep his 4 commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is begotten of God 5 overcometh the world: and this is the victory that hath overcome the world, even our faith. And 6 who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and 78 with the blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. For there 9 are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the th ree agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he 10 hath borne witness concerning his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believe d in the witness 11 that God hath borne concerning his Son. And the witness is this, that God gave u nto us eternal 12 life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath the life; he that h ath not the Son of God 13 hath not the life. These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that y e have eternal 14 life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the boldness which

15 we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth u s: and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which w e have asked of 16 him. If any man see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and God will give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: not concerning this do I say that he 17 18 should make request. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto dea th. We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God k eepeth himself, 19 and the evil one toucheth him not. We know that we are of God, and the whole wor ld lieth in 20 the evil one. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an unde rstanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son J esus Christ. This is 21 the true God, and eternal life. My little children, guard yourselves from idols. 1809

Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them, having in like manner with these given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh, ar e set forth as an 8 example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. Yet in like manner these also in their dreamings 9 defile the flesh, and set at nought dominion, and rail at dignities. But Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring a gainst him a railing 10 judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these rail at whatsoever things th ey know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they 11 destroyed. Woe unto them!

Nevertheless 26

that which ye have, hold fast till I come.

Revelation 4 41 After these things I saw, and behold, a door opened in heaven, and the first voi ce that I heard, a voice as of a trumpet speaking with me, one saying, Come up hither, and I will show thee the 2 things which must come to pass hereafter. Straightway I was in the Spirit: and b ehold, there was 3 a throne set in heaven, and one sitting upon the throne; and he that sat was to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardius: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, like an emerald to look 4 upon. And round about the throne were four and twenty thrones: and upon the thro nes I saw four 5 and twenty elders sitting, arrayed in white garments; and on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And there was seven la mps of fire burning 6 before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; and before the throne, as it were a sea of glass like a crystal; and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne , four living creatures 7 full of eyes before and behind. And the first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face as of a man, and the fourth creature w as like a flying eagle. 8 and the four living creatures, having each one of them six wings, are full of ey es round about and within: and they have no rest day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is t o come.

9 And when the living creatures shall give glory and honor and thanks to him that sitteth on the 10 throne, to him that liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders shall f all down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and th e power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were cr eated.
